Detailed Description

The physical memory encapsulates all memories in the system and provides basic functionality for accessing those memories without going through the memory system and interconnect.

The physical memory is also responsible for providing the host system backingstore used by the memories in the simulated guest system. When the system is created, the physical memory allocates the backing store based on the address ranges that are populated in the system, and does so independent of how those map to actual memory controllers. Thus, the physical memory completely abstracts the mapping of the backing store of the host system and the address mapping in the guest system. This enables us to arbitrarily change the number of memory controllers, and their address mapping, as long as the ranges stay the same.

private

◆ PhysicalMemory() [2/2]

PhysicalMemory::PhysicalMemory ( const std::string &  _name,
const std::vector< AbstractMemory * > &  _memories,
bool  mmap_using_noreserve,
const std::string &  shared_backstore 
)

Create a physical memory object, wrapping a number of memories.

◆ ~PhysicalMemory()

PhysicalMemory::~PhysicalMemory ( )

Unmap all the backing store we have used.

Definition at line 244 of file physical.cc.

References backingStore, and ArmISA::s.

Member Function Documentation

◆ access()

void PhysicalMemory::access ( PacketPtr  pkt)

Perform an untimed memory access and update all the state (e.g.

locked addresses) and statistics accordingly. The packet is turned into a response if required.

Parameters
pktPacket performing the access

Definition at line 294 of file physical.cc.

References addrMap, AddrRangeMap< V, max_cache_size >::contains(), AddrRangeMap< V, max_cache_size >::end(), Packet::getAddrRange(), Packet::isRequest(), and ArmISA::m.

◆ createBackingStore()

void PhysicalMemory::createBackingStore ( AddrRange  range,
const std::vector< AbstractMemory * > &  _memories,
bool  conf_table_reported,
bool  in_addr_map,
bool  kvm_map 
)
private

Create the memory region providing the backing store for a given address range that corresponds to a set of memories in the simulated system.

Parameters
rangeThe address range covered
memoriesThe memories this range maps to
kvm_mapShould KVM map this memory for the guest

Definition at line 185 of file physical.cc.

References backingStore, DPRINTF, fatal, AddrRange::interleaved(), ArmISA::m, mmapUsingNoReserve, panic, panic_if, sharedBackstore, AddrRange::size(), and AddrRange::to_string().

◆ functionalAccess()

void PhysicalMemory::functionalAccess ( PacketPtr  pkt)

Perform an untimed memory read or write without changing anything but the memory itself.

No stats are affected by this access. In addition to normal accesses this also facilitates print requests.

Parameters
pktPacket performing the access

Definition at line 303 of file physical.cc.

References addrMap, AddrRangeMap< V, max_cache_size >::contains(), AddrRangeMap< V, max_cache_size >::end(), Packet::getAddrRange(), Packet::isRequest(), and ArmISA::m.

◆ getBackingStore()

std::vector<BackingStoreEntry> PhysicalMemory::getBackingStore ( ) const
inline

Get the pointers to the backing store for external host access.

Note that memory in the guest should be accessed using access() or functionalAccess(). This interface is primarily intended for CPU models using hardware virtualization. Note that memories that are null are not present, and that the backing store may also contain memories that are not part of the OS-visible global address map and thus are allowed to overlap.

Returns
Pointers to the memory backing store

Definition at line 215 of file physical.hh.

References backingStore.

Referenced by KvmVM::delayedStartup().

◆ getConfAddrRanges()

AddrRangeList PhysicalMemory::getConfAddrRanges ( ) const

Get the memory ranges for all memories that are to be reported to the configuration table.

The ranges are merged before they are returned such that any interleaved ranges appear as a single range.

Returns
All configuration table memory ranges

Definition at line 258 of file physical.cc.

References addrMap, and MipsISA::r.

Referenced by ArmSemihosting::gatherHeapInfo(), and ArmISA::FsLinux::initState().

◆ isMemAddr()

bool PhysicalMemory::isMemAddr ( Addr  addr) const

Check if a physical address is within a range of a memory that is part of the global address map.

Parameters
addrA physical address
Returns
Whether the address corresponds to a memory

Definition at line 252 of file physical.cc.

◆ name()

const std::string PhysicalMemory::name ( ) const
inline

Return the name for debugging and for creation of sections for checkpointing.

◆ operator=()

PhysicalMemory& PhysicalMemory::operator= ( const PhysicalMemory )
private

◆ serialize()

void PhysicalMemory::serialize ( CheckpointOut cp) const
overridevirtual

Serialize all the memories in the system.

This is independent of the logical memory layout, and the serialization only sees the contigous backing store, independent of how this maps to logical memories in the guest system.

Parameters
osstream to serialize to

Implements Serializable.

◆ serializeStore()

void PhysicalMemory::serializeStore ( CheckpointOut cp,
unsigned int  store_id,
AddrRange  range,
uint8_t *  pmem 
) const

Serialize a specific store.

Parameters
store_idUnique identifier of this backing store
rangeThe address range of this backing store
pmemThe host pointer to this backing store

◆ totalSize()

uint64_t PhysicalMemory::totalSize ( ) const
inline

Get the total physical memory size.

Returns
The sum of all memory sizes

◆ unserialize()

void PhysicalMemory::unserialize ( CheckpointIn cp)
overridevirtual

Unserialize the memories in the system.

As with the serialization, this action is independent of how the address ranges are mapped to logical memories in the guest system.

Implements Serializable.
