Hi Abdelrahman,
I have done something similar with ruby enabled. Hope this helps.
Basically you need to set your own message flags in the pagetable walker
and checks that flag in the SLICC code when a cacheline hits.
Below is an example of how to do it in the L1 and L2.
in request.hh
```
bool isYourType() const {return _flags.isSet(your_flag);}
```
in pagetable_walker.cc
```
setupWalk(Addr vaddr){
Request::Flags flags = Request::PHYSICAL;
flags.set(Request::your_flag);
...
}
```
in RubyRequest.hh
```
book checkYourType() const { return m_pkt->req->isYourType();}
```
in PROTOCOL-L1Cache.sm
```
in_port(mandatoryQueue_in, RubyRequest ...)
if (mandatorQueue_in.isReady(clockEdge()))
peek(mandatoryQueue_in ...)
if(is_valid(L1Dcache_entry))
if(in_msg.checkYourType() == true)
# you have it in your local private cache
else
# forward the request to L2
```
in PROTOCOL-L2Cache.sm
```
in_port(L1RequestL2Network_in, ...)
if(L1RequestL2Network_in.isReady(clockEdge()))
peek(L1RequestL2Network_in ...)
if(is_valid(cache_entry))
if(in_msg.checkYourType() == true)
# you have it in your shared L2
else
# forward to where it should be
```
