scons: Add a convenience method to set RPATH for local libraries.

When linking in a dynamic library which is in the gem5 build directory,
it's useful to set RPATH so that you don't have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
when you run gem5 so that the dynamic linker can find it.

Since it's tricky and not entirely obvious how to set up those paths
correctly, this change adds a small convenience function which does
that for you. It also handles situations where the same dynamic
library may be linked into different binaries in different directories
which each need a different relative RPATH. It does that by letting the
environment for each binary set a construction variable which says
how to get from that particular binary back to the build directory.
This helper method then sets RPATH to start at $ORIGIN (the binary),
to follow that relative path to the variant build directory, and then
the per-library but not per-binary path to the library's directory.

This change also adds the -z origin linker flag which makes the linker
handle $ORIGIN properly.

Creating an extra version of string to number converters (__to_number)
in base/str.hh; it will be used by enums only when unserializing
them.  The reason not to have a single helper for both enums and
integers is that std::numeric_limits trait is not specialized for enums.
We fix this by using the std::underlying_type trait.

5 years agoriscv: fix AMO, LR and SC instructions
Tuan Ta [Tue, 13 Feb 2018 04:13:34 +0000 (23:13 -0500)]
riscv: fix AMO, LR and SC instructions

(1) Atomic Memory Operation (AMO)

This patch changes how RISC-V AMO instructions are implemented. For each
AMO, instead of issuing a locking load and an unlocking store request to
downstream memory system, this patch issues a single memory request that
contains a corresponding AtomicOpFunctor to the memory system. Once the
memory system receives the request, the atomic operation is executed in
one single step.

This patch also changes how AMO instructions handle acquire and release
flags in AMOs (e.g., amoadd.aq and amoadd.rl). If an AMO is associated
with an acquire flag, a memory fence is inserted after the AMO completes
as a micro-op. If an AMO is associated with a release flag, another
memory fence is inserted before the AMO executes. If both flags are
specified, the AMO is broken down into a sequence of 3 micro-ops:
mem fence -> atomic RMW -> mem fence. This change makes this AMO
implementation comply to the release consistency model.

(2) Load-Reserved (LR) and Store-Conditional (SC)

Addresses locked by LR instructions are tracked in a stack data
structure. LR instruction pushes its target address to the stack, and SC
instruction pops the top address from the stack. As specified by RISC-V
ISA, a SC fails if its target address does not match with the most recent
LR.

Previously, there was a single stack for all hardware thread contexts.
A shared stack between thread contexts can lead to a infinite sequence
of failed SCs if LRs from other threads keep pushing new addresses to
this stack.

This patch gives each context its private stack to address the problem.

This patch also adds extra memory fence micro-ops to lr/sc to guarantee
a correct execution order of memory instructions with respect to release
consistency model.

5 years agocpu: support atomic memory request type with AtomicOpFunctor

cpu: support atomic memory request type with AtomicOpFunctor

This patch enables all 4 CPU models (AtomicSimpleCPU, TimingSimpleCPU,
MinorCPU and DerivO3CPU) to issue atomic memory (AMO) requests to memory
system.

Atomic memory instruction is treated as a special store instruction in
all CPU models.

In simple CPUs, an AMO request with an associated AtomicOpFunctor is
simply sent to L1 dcache.

In MinorCPU, an AMO request bypasses store buffer and waits for any
conflicting store request(s) currently in the store buffer to retire
before the AMO request is sent to the cache. AMO requests are not buffered
in the store buffer, so their effects appear immediately in the cache.

In DerivO3CPU, an AMO request is inserted in the store buffer so that it
is delivered to the cache only after all previous stores are issued to
the cache. Data forwarding between between an outstanding AMO in the
store buffer and a subsequent load is not allowed since the AMO request
does not hold valid data until it's executed in the cache.

This implementation assumes that a target ISA implementation must insert
enough memory fences as micro-ops around an atomic instruction to
enforce a correct order of memory instructions with respect to its
memory consistency model. Without extra memory fences, this implementation
can allow AMOs and other memory instructions that do not conflict
(i.e., not target the same address) to reorder.

This implementation also assumes that atomic instructions execute within
a cache line boundary since the cache for now is not able to execute an
operation on two different cache lines in one single step. Therefore,
ISAs like x86 that require multi-cache-line atomic instructions need to
either use a pair of locking load and unlocking store or change the
cache implementation to guarantee the atomicity of an atomic
instruction.

arch-arm: Fix Virtual interrupts in AArch64

Checking if cpsr.mode is equal to MODE_HYP doesn't work for AArch64.
This is because AArch64 is using different modes when in EL2, like EL2T
and EL2H.
This made Virtual Interrupts to be triggered even when executing in EL2
(hypervisor) whereas they should interrupt the scheduled VM only
(Non-Secure EL0 and EL1). This patch is fixing this by using the generic
currEL() helper for getting the exception level, which is working for
both AArch32 and AArch64.

Tuan Ta [Mon, 2 Apr 2018 19:19:40 +0000 (15:19 -0400)]
cpu: fix how a thread starts up in MinorCPU

When a thread is activated by another thread calling a clone system
call, the child thread's context is initialized in the middle of the
clone system call and before the context is fully initialized.
Therefore, the child thread starts fetching an unitialized PC, which
could lead to a page fault.

This patch adds a pipeline wakeup event that is scheduled later in the
cycle when the thread is activated. This event ensures that the first
fetch only happens after the thread context is fully initialized
(e.g., in case of clone syscall, it is when the parent thread copies
its context over to the child thread).

When a thread first starts or wakes up, input queue to the Fetch2 stage
needs to be drained since the execution flow is likely to change and
previously fetched instructions in the queue may no longer be in the
correct flow. This patch dumps/drains all inputs in the input queue
of a thread context in the Fetch2 stage when the associated thread wakes
up.

scons: fix unused auto-generated blob variable in clang

Since f2bda876f73af4ecc38406f3562a3d16fd28a5a9, the build system started
adding a length for generated blobs as in:

const std::size_t variable_len = 123;

There were two types of blob files, ones with a header and the ones
without.

The ones with the header, also include the header in the .cc of the blob,
which contains a declaration:

extern const std::size_t variable_len;

Therefore, the ones without header, don't have that extern declaration,
which makes them static according to the C++ standard.

clang then correctly interprets that as problematic due to
-Wunused-const-variable, while GCC does not notice this.

This patch removes the length declaration from the blob files that don't
have the header. Those files currently don't use the length.
