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.

Member Function Documentation

◆ access()

void gem5::memory::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

pkt	Packet performing the access

Definition at line 298 of file physical.cc.

References addrMap, gem5::Packet::getAddrRange(), gem5::Packet::isRequest(), and gem5::ArmISA::m.

◆ createBackingStore()

		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

range	The address range covered
memories	The memories this range maps to
kvm_map	Should KVM map this memory for the guest

Definition at line 190 of file physical.cc.

References backingStore, DPRINTF, fatal, gem5::AddrRange::interleaved(), gem5::ArmISA::m, mmapUsingNoReserve, panic, panic_if, sharedBackstore, gem5::AddrRange::size(), and gem5::AddrRange::to_string().

Referenced by PhysicalMemory().

◆ functionalAccess()

void gem5::memory::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

pkt	Packet performing the access

Definition at line 307 of file physical.cc.

References addrMap, gem5::Packet::getAddrRange(), gem5::Packet::isRequest(), and gem5::ArmISA::m.

◆ getBackingStore()

std::vector<BackingStoreEntry> gem5::memory::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 227 of file physical.hh.

References backingStore.

Referenced by gem5::KvmVM::delayedStartup().

◆ getConfAddrRanges()

AddrRangeList gem5::memory::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 262 of file physical.cc.

References addrMap, and gem5::MipsISA::r.

Referenced by gem5::ArmSemihosting::gatherHeapInfo(), and gem5::ArmISA::FsLinux::initState().

◆ isMemAddr()

bool gem5::memory::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

addr	A physical address

Returns: Whether the address corresponds to a memory

Definition at line 256 of file physical.cc.

References gem5::X86ISA::addr, and addrMap.

Referenced by gem5::System::isMemAddr().

◆ name()

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

Definition at line 187 of file physical.hh.

◆ operator=()

PhysicalMemory& gem5::memory::PhysicalMemory::operator= ( const PhysicalMemory & )

private

◆ serialize()

void gem5::memory::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

os	stream to serialize to

Implements gem5::Serializable.

◆ serializeStore()

void gem5::memory::PhysicalMemory::serializeStore	(	CheckpointOut &	cp,
		unsigned int	store_id,
		AddrRange	range,
		uint8_t *	pmem
	)		const

Serialize a specific store.

Parameters

store_id	Unique identifier of this backing store
range	The address range of this backing store
pmem	The host pointer to this backing store

◆ totalSize()

uint64_t gem5::memory::PhysicalMemory::totalSize ( ) const

inline

Get the total physical memory size.

◆ unserialize()

void gem5::memory::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 gem5::Serializable.
