python,stdlib: Add multiprocessing module
This changeset replicates some of the multiprocessing module
implementation from the python standard library in gem5. The goal of
this and following changesets is to enable users to use a *single* set
of python scripts to run and analyze a suite of gem5 simulations.
We must reimplement some of the multiprocessing module becaue it is not
flexible enough to allow for customized command line parameter to the
"python" executable (gem5 in our case). To get around this, I extended
the Process and context objects to be gem5 specific.
The next steps is to wrap the Process and Pool types with gem5-specific
versions that will improve their usability for our needs. With this
changeset, these objects are usable, but it will require significant
user effort to reach the goal of running/analyzing many different gem5
simulations.
There are some limitation:
- The pool will only work if the max tasks per child is 1
- The functions that are executed must come from another module
As an example, the following code should work after applying this
change.
test.py:
```python
from gem5.utils.multiprocessing import Process, Pool
from sim import info, run_sim
if __name__ == '__m5_main__' or __name__ == '__main__':
info('main line')
p1 = Process(target=run_sim, args=('bob',))
p2 = Process(target=run_sim, args=('jane',))
p1.start()
p2.start()
p2.join()
p1.join()
with Pool(processes=4, maxtasksperchild=1) as pool:
pool.map(run_sim, range(10))
```
sim.py:
```
import os
def info(title):
print(title)
print('module name:', __name__)
print('parent process:', os.getppid())
print('process id:', os.getpid())
def run_sim(name):
info('function g')
from gem5.prebuilt.demo.x86_demo_board import X86DemoBoard
from gem5.resources.resource import Resource
from gem5.simulate.simulator import Simulator
board = X86DemoBoard()
board.set_kernel_disk_workload(
kernel=Resource("x86-linux-kernel-5.4.49"),
disk_image=Resource("x86-ubuntu-18.04-img"),
)
simulator = Simulator(board=board)
simulator.run(max_ticks=10000000)
```

+# gem5's wrapper around python multiprocessing
+
+This module wraps python's multiprocessing module so that it works with
gem5.
+The multiprocessing module creates new python processes, but there is no
way to customize the way these processes are created.
+This wrapper extends the python multiprocessing to support passing new
arguments to the python (or gem5 in this case) executable when a new
process is created.
+
+This code replicates some of the multiprocessing module implementation
from the python standard library in gem5.
+The goal of this code is to enable users to use a *single* set of python
scripts to run and analyze a suite of gem5 simulations.
+
+We must reimplement some of the multiprocessing module because it is not
flexible enough to allow for customized command line parameter to
the "python" executable (gem5 in our case).
+To get around this, I extended the Process and context objects to be gem5
specific.
+
+The next steps is to wrap the Process and Pool types with gem5-specific
versions that will improve their usability for our needs.
+With this changeset, these objects are usable, but it will require
significant user effort to reach the goal of running/analyzing many
different gem5 simulations.
+
+## Example use
+
+test.py:
+
+```python
+from gem5.utils.multiprocessing import Process, Pool
+from sim import info, run_sim
+if __name__ == '__m5_main__' or __name__ == '__main__':
+ info('main line')
+ p1 = Process(target=run_sim, args=('bob',))
+ p2 = Process(target=run_sim, args=('jane',))
+ p1.start()
+ p2.start()
+ p2.join()
+ p1.join()
+ with Pool(processes=4, maxtasksperchild=1) as pool:
+ pool.map(run_sim, range(10))
+```
+
+sim.py:
+
+```python
+import os
+def info(title):
+ print(title)
+ print('module name:', __name__)
+ print('parent process:', os.getppid())
+ print('process id:', os.getpid())
+def run_sim(name):
+ info('function g')
+ from gem5.prebuilt.demo.x86_demo_board import X86DemoBoard
+ from gem5.resources.resource import Resource
+ from gem5.simulate.simulator import Simulator
+ board = X86DemoBoard()
+ board.set_kernel_disk_workload(
+ kernel=Resource("x86-linux-kernel-5.4.49"),
+ disk_image=Resource("x86-ubuntu-18.04-img"),
+ )
+ simulator = Simulator(board=board)
+ simulator.run(max_ticks=10000000)
+```
+
+Then, you can run `gem5 test.py`.
+This will execute `run_sim` 12 times.
+The first two will run in parallel, then the last 10 will run in parallel
with up to 4 running at once.
+
+## Limitations
+
+- This only supports the spawn context. This is important because we need
a fresh gem5 process for every subprocess.
+- When using `Pool`, the `maxtasksperchild` must be 1.
+- Process synchronization (queues, pipes, etc.) hasn't been tested
+- Functions that are used to execute in the subprocess must be imported
from another module. In other words, we cannot pickle functions in the
main/runner module.
+
+## Implementation notes
+
+- The `_start_method` must be `None` for the `Spawn_gem5Process` class.
Otherwise, in `_bootstrap` in the `BaseProcess` it will try to force the
`_start_method` to be gem5-specific, which the `multiprocessing` module
doesn't understand.
