Hi Alex,

You are absolutely right (and mercurial is not that great in tracking
change sets :-).

You need the patch before it: http://reviews.gem5.org/r/2572/

I am hoping to get all these pushed before Christmas.

 The _BASE registers hold the base of segments as they're specified

be  used in address calculations based on the mode of the CPU. For
instance, if you're in 64 bit mode, the _BASE of DS might still be

though, since the DS base is ignored in that case. _EFF_BASE may not
be used by the KVM CPU, but it should be set up anyway in case we
switch back to a regular CPU.

tests: Remove deprecated InOrderCPU tests

This patch removes the three MIPS and SPARC regressions that use the
deprecated InOrderCPU.

This is the first step in completely removing the code from the tree,
avoiding confusion, and focusing all development efforts on the
MinorCPU. Brave new world.

Hi Andreas,

Your patches solve the issue, I don't see spurious kvm exits anymore.

Hi Alex,

That is great news. Thanks for checking.

Now we just have to work out a sensible API for the memory mode changes to
avoid putting all this code in the controller. :-)

Hi Mike,

Are you running with SimpleMemory, SE or FS? On my AMD platform, for
SE, I get very similar execution times with old implementation, for
SimpleMemory and classic memory with detailed memory controller. Also
what linux kernel are you using?

Thanks,
Alex

I was testing this on both Intel and AMD platforms.

The new code does seem to work for Intel platforms.

The new code also seems to clean up a bunch of runtime warnings I was
getting on AMD platforms.

However the new code on AMD is either much slower, or it is stuck in
a loop.
A test that runs for 30 sec with the old code is running for more
than
10 mins, and still has a long way to go.
