Move these options up to the common dir so we only test & export
them once across all ports.
The setting only affects igen based ports, and they were turning
this on by default, so keep the default in place.
The cgen scache module is enabled by every cgen port, and with the
same default value of 16k (which matches the common default value).
Let's pull this option out of the individual ports (via CPPFLAGS)
and into the common code (via config.h).
The object itself is compiled only for cgen ports atm, so that part
doesn't change. The scache code is initialized dynamically via the
modules.c logic. That's why the profile code needs an additional
CGEN_ARCH check.
This will allow us to collapse arch configure files more. Merging
the source files will require more future work, but integrating the
cgen & non-cgen worlds itself will take a lot.
This kills off another compile-time option by moving the setting to
the individual arch runtimes. This will allow dynamic selection by
the arch when doing a single build with multiple arches.
The sim_model_init rework is a little funky. In the past it was
disabled entirely if no default model was set. We maintain the
spirit of the logic by gating the fallback logic on whether the
port has defined any models.
We want to do a single build with all arches in one binary which means
we need to namespace sim_machs on a per-arch basis. Move it from a
global variable to the sim description structure so it can be setup at
runtime.
Changing the SIM_MODEL->num from an enum to an int is unfortunate, but
we specifically don't want to maintain a centralized list anymore, and
this was never used directly in common code, just passed to per-arch
callbacks.
Various files were not including the relevant headers, or some funcs
were missing prototypes entirely, leading to mismatch between the
actual definition of the functions. Add includes to a few places and
fix the broken functions that are uncovered as a result. Fixing some
compile warnings (e.g. missing prototypes) often find real bugs.
These ports only use the pieces that have been unified, so we can
merge them into the common configure script and get rid of their
unique one entirely.
We still compile & link separate run programs, and have dedicated
subdir Makefiles, but the configure script portion is merged.
The sim-hardware configure option allows builders to select a set of
device models to enable. But this seems like unnecessary overkill:
the existence of individual device models doesn't affect performance
at all as they are only enabled at runtime if the config uses them,
and individually these are all <5KB a piece. Stripping off a total
of ~50KB from a ~1MB binary doesn't seem useful, and it's extremely
unlikely anyone will ever bother.
So let's simplify the configure/make logic by turning sim-hardware
into a boolean option like many of the other sim options. Any ports
that have unique device models will declare them in their Makefile
instead of at configure time. This will allow us to (eventually)
unify the setting into the common dir.
Move these options up to the common dir so we only test & export
them once across all ports. This takes a page from the cgen maint
logic to make $(MAINT) work for non-automake Makefiles which will
allow us to merge it together.
Move these options up to the common dir so we only test & export
them once across all ports. It makes it available to targets that
aren't cgen-based, but those will just ignore the settings, so it
shouldn't be an issue.
Move these options up to the common dir so we only test & export
them once across all ports. It also enables -Werror usage on the
common files we've been pulling out of arch subdirs.
For the ports that still don't build with -Werror, rather than disable
the flag at configure time, do it at make time. This will allow us to
unify these tests in the common sim configure script.
The sim-basics.h is too big and includes too many things. This leads
to some arch's sim-main.h having circular loop issues with defs, and
makes it hard to separate out common objects from arch-specific defs.
By splitting up sim-basics.h and killing off sim-main.h, it'll make
it easier to separate out the two.
The m4 macro has 2 args: the "wire" settings (which represents the
hardwired port behavior), and the default settings (which are used
if nothing else is specified). If none are specified, the arch is
expected to support both, and the value will be probed based on the
user runtime options or the input program.
Only two arches today set the default value (bpf & mips). We can
probably let this go as it only shows up in one scenario: the sim
is invoked, but with no inputs, and no user endian selection. This
means bpf will not behave like the other arches: an error is shown
and forces the user to make a choice. If an input program is used
though, we'll still switch the default to that. This allows us to
remove the WITH_DEFAULT_TARGET_BYTE_ORDER setting.
For the ports that set a "wire" endian, move it to the runtime init
of the respective sim_open calls. This allows us to change the
WITH_TARGET_BYTE_ORDER to purely a user-selected configure setting
if they want to force a specific endianness.
With all the endian logic moved to runtime selection, we can move
the configure call up to the common dir so we only process it once
across all ports.
The ppc arch was picking the wire endian based on the target used,
but since we weren't doing that for other biendian arches, we can
let this go too. We'll rely on the input selecting the endian, or
make the user decide.
All of the settings in here are handled by the common top-level
config.h, so drop the individual arch-config.h files entirely.
This will also help guarantee that we don't add any new arch
specific defines that would affect common code which will help
with the effort of unifying them.
Currently, the sim-config module will abort if alignment settings
haven't been specified by the port's configure.ac. This is a bit
weird when we've allowed SIM_AC_OPTION_ALIGNMENT to seem like it's
optional to use. Thus everyone invokes it.
There are 4 alignment settings, but really only 2 matters: strict
and nonstrict. The "mixed" setting is just the default ("unset"),
and "forced" isn't used directly by anyone (it's available as a
runtime option for some ports).
The m4 macro has 2 args: the "wire" settings (which represents the
hardwired port behavior), and the default settings (which are used
if nothing else is specified). If none are specified, then the
build won't work (see above as if SIM_AC_OPTION_ALIGNMENT wasn't
called). If default settings are provided, then that is used, but
we allow the user to override at runtime. Otherwise, the "wire"
settings are used and user runtime options to change are ignored.
Most ports specify a default, or set the "wire" to nonstrict. A
few set "wire" to strict, but it's not clear that's necessary as
it doesn't make the code behavior, by default, any different. It
might make things a little faster, but we should provide the user
the choice of the compromises to make: force a specific mode at
compile time for faster runtime, or allow the choice at runtime.
More likely it seems like an oversight when these ports were
initially created, and/or copied & pasted from existing ports.
With all that backstory, let's get to what this commit does.
First kill off the idea of a compile-time default alignment and
set it to nonstrict in the common code. For any ports that want
strict alignment by default, that code is moved to sim_open while
initializing the sim. That means WITH_DEFAULT_ALIGNMENT can be
completely removed.
Moving the default alignment to the runtime also allows removal
of setting the "wire" settings at configure time. Which allows
removing of all arguments to SIM_AC_OPTION_ALIGNMENT and moving
that call to common code.
The macro logic can be reworked to not pass WITH_ALIGNMENT as -D
CPPFLAG and instead move it to config.h.
All of these taken together mean we can hoist the macro up to the
top level and share it among all sims so behavior is consistent
among all the ports.
Move these options up to the common dir so we only test & export
them once across all ports. The AC_INIT macro does a lot of the
heavy lifting already which allows further simplification.
Move these options up to the common dir so we only test & export
them once across all ports.
The ppc code needs a little extra care with its trace settings as
it's not exactly the same API as the common code. The other knobs
are the same though.
Move the various platform tests up a level to avoid duplication
across the ports. When building multiple versions, this speeds
things up a bit.
For now we move the obvious stuff up a level, but we don't turn
own the config.h entirely just yet -- we still have some tests
related to libraries that need consideration.
This function has done only one thing: post-process command line
settings to see if profiling or tracing has been enabled, and if
so, set the run_fast_p flag in the simulator state. That flag is
only used in one place: to select the fast or slow cgen engine.
By inlining the run_fast_p logic to the one place it's used, we
can delete a good amount of logic specific to cgen ports: both
the call to cgen_init and the conditional simulator state. This
in turn allows us to have a single simulator state struct across
all ports so we can share objects more between them, and makes
the sim_open calls look more consistent.
The defs.h header will take care of including the various config.h
headers. For now, it's just config.h, but we'll add more when we
integrate gnulib in.
This header should be used instead of config.h, and should be the
first include in every .c file. We won't rely on the old behavior
where we expected files to include the port's sim-main.h which then
includes the common sim-basics.h which then includes config.h. We
have a ton of code that includes things before sim-main.h, and it
sometimes needs to be that way. Creating a dedicated header avoids
the ordering mess and implicit inclusion that shows up otherwise.
This is needed when building for a target whose ar & ranlib are
incompatible with the current build system. For example, building
for Windows on a Linux system.
Then manually import the automake rule for libigen.a, but tweak the
tool variables to use the FOR_BUILD variants.
While libiberty provides a definition for this for systems that lack
the function (e.g. Windows), it doesn't provide a prototype. So add
our own local copy in the one file that uses the func.
Force this on for all ports. We have a few common models that can
be used, so make them generally available. If the port doesn't use
any hardware (the default), then behavior is unchanged.
When building with clang, we get:
error: unknown warning option '-Wmissing-parameter-type' [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
This is because clang only warns by default when encountering an unknown
warning option, and the probe for supported warning flags is done
without -Werror. All flags are therefore accepted by configure, but
then it breaks when actually compiling a source file with -Werror.
This is equivalent to this commit in gdb:
3e019bdc20
gdb: Use -Werror when checking for (un)supported warning flags
We then see some other compilation errors when building with clang and
-Werror, they can be dealt with later.
