|
|
|
This file describes how to build the program PSIM
|
|
|
|
o Walk through a basic build
|
|
|
|
o Discussion of PSIM's components and
|
|
how they relate to the build process

----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
BUILDING PSIM:
|
|
|
|
PSIM 1.0.2 is included in GDB-4.16. To build PSIM you will need the
|
|
following:
|
|
|
|
gdb-4.16.tar.gz Available from your favorite GNU
|
|
ftp site
|
|
|
|
gcc GCC version two includes suport
|
|
for long long (64bit integer)
|
|
arrithemetic which PSIM uses. Hence
|
|
it is recommended that you build PSIM
|
|
using GCC.
|
|
|
|
Method:
|
|
|
|
1. Unpack gdb
|
|
|
|
$ cd .../scratch
|
|
$ gunzip < gdb-4.16.tar.gz | tar xf -
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Configure gdb
|
|
|
|
First consult the gdb documentation
|
|
|
|
$ cd .../scratch
|
|
$ cd gdb-4.16
|
|
$ more README
|
|
$ more gdb/README
|
|
|
|
then something like (I assume SH):
|
|
|
|
$ CC=gcc ./configure \
|
|
--enable-sim-powerpc \
|
|
--target=powerpc-unknown-eabi \
|
|
--prefix=/applications/psim
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Build (again specifying GCC)
|
|
|
|
$ make CC=gcc
|
|
|
|
alternatively, if you are short on disk space or only
|
|
want to build the simulator:
|
|
|
|
$ ( cd libiberty && make CC=gcc )
|
|
$ ( cd bfd && make CC=gcc )
|
|
$ ( cd sim/ppc && make CC=gcc )
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Install
|
|
|
|
$ make CC=gcc install
|
|
|
|
or just
|
|
|
|
$ cp gdb/gdb ~/bin/powerpc-unknown-eabisim-gdb
|
|
$ cp sim/ppc/run ~/bin/powerpc-unknown-eabisim-run
|
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
UPDATING PSIM:
|
|
|
|
|
|
A PSIM is an ongoing development. Occasional snapshots which both contain new features and fix old bugs are made available. See the ftp directory:
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.ci.com.au/pub/psim/beta
|
|
or ftp://cambridge.cygnus.com/pub/psim/beta
|
|
|
|
for the latest version. To build/install one of these snapshots, you
|
|
replace the sim/ppc found in the gdb archive with with one from the
|
|
snapshot. Then just re-configure and rebuild/install.
|
|
|
|
Procedure:
|
|
|
|
0. A starting point
|
|
|
|
$ cd gdb-4.16
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Remove the old psim directory
|
|
|
|
$ mv sim/ppc sim/old.ppc
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Unpack the new one
|
|
|
|
$ gunzip < ../psim-NNNNNN.tar.gz | tar tf -
|
|
$ gunzip < ../psim-NNNNNN.tar.gz | tar tf -
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Reconfigure/rebuild (as seen above):
|
|
|
|
$ CC=gcc ./configure \
|
|
--enable-sim-powerpc \
|
|
--target=powerpc-unknown-eabi \
|
|
--prefix=/applications/psim
|
|
$ make CC=gcc
|
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
UPDATES TO GDB:
|
|
|
|
From time to time, problems involving the integration of PSIM into gdb
|
|
are found. While eventually each of these problems is resolved there
|
|
can be periouds during which a local hack may be needed.
|
|
|
|
At the time of writing the following were outstanding:
|
|
|
|
ATTACH command:
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.ci.com.au/pub/psim/gdb-4.15+attach.diff.gz
|
|
or ftp://cambridge.cygnus.com/pub/psim/gdb-4.15+attach.diff.gz
|
|
|
|
PSIM, unlike the other simulators found in GDB, is able to load
|
|
the description of a target machine (including the initial
|
|
state of all processor registers) from a file.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunatly GDB does not yet have a standard command that
|
|
facilitates the use of this feature. Until such a command is
|
|
added, the patch (hack?) gdb-4.15+attach.diff.gz can be used to
|
|
extend GDB's attach command so that it can be used to initialize
|
|
the simulators configuration from a file.
|
|

|
RUNNING PROGRAMS:
|
|
|
|
|
|
See the file:
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.ci.com.au/pub/psim/RUN
|
|
or ftp://cambridge.cygnus.com/pub/psim/RUN
|
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
COMPILE TIME CONFIGURATION OPTIONS:
|
|
|
|
|
|
PSIM's compile time configuration is controlled by autoconf. PSIM's
|
|
configure script recognises options of the form:
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-<option>[=<val>]
|
|
|
|
And can be specified on the configure command line (at the top level
|
|
of the gdb directory tree) vis:
|
|
|
|
$ cd gdb-4.15
|
|
$ CC=gcc ./configure \
|
|
--target=powerpc-unknown-eabisim \
|
|
--prefix=/applications/psim \
|
|
--enable-sim-inline
|
|
$ make CC=gcc
|
|
|
|
For a brief list of PSIM's configuration options, configure --help
|
|
will list them vis:
|
|
|
|
$ cd sim/ppc
|
|
$ ./configure --help
|
|
|
|
Each PSIM specific option is discussed in detail below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-cflags=<opts>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Specify additional C compiler flags that are to be used when compiling
|
|
just PSIM.
|
|
|
|
PSIM places heavy demands on both the host machine and its C compiler.
|
|
So that the builder has better control over the compiler the above
|
|
option can be used to pass additional options to the compiler while PSIM is being built.
|
|
|
|
Ex: No debug information
|
|
|
|
PSIM can be built with everything inline. Unfortunately, because of
|
|
all the debugging information generated the C compiler can grow very
|
|
very large as a result. For GCC, the debug information can be
|
|
restricted with the `-g0' option. To specify that this option should
|
|
be include in the CFLAGS when compiling the psim source code use:
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-cflags=-g0
|
|
|
|
Ex: Additional optimization flags
|
|
|
|
A significant gain in performance can be achieved by tuning the
|
|
optimization flags passed to the C compiler. For instance on an x86
|
|
you may consider:
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-cflags='-g0 -O2 -fno-strength-reduce -f...'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-warnings=<flags>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Turn on additional GCC specific checks.
|
|
|
|
Some hosts (NetBSD, Linux, Solaris-2.5) have complete header files
|
|
that include correct prototypes for all library functions. On such
|
|
hosts, PSIM can be built with many more than the standard C checks
|
|
enabled. The option --enable-sim-warnings controls this.
|
|
|
|
Ex: Default warnings
|
|
|
|
With just --enable-sim-warnings, the following -W options are enabled:
|
|
-Werror -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-opcode=which
|
|
|
|
|
|
Specify the file containing the rules for generating the instruction
|
|
decode and execute functions from the file ppc-instructions.
|
|
|
|
The form of the instruction decode and execute functions is controlled
|
|
by an opcode table. It specifies: the combination of switch
|
|
statements and jump tables to use when decoding an instruction and how
|
|
much of each instruction should be decoded before calling the
|
|
instruction execute function.
|
|
|
|
PSIM includes a number of opcode tables:
|
|
|
|
psim-opcode-simple
|
|
Generates a small compact two level switch statement
|
|
that will compile quickly and run reasonably fast.
|
|
|
|
This may be useful on a small machine.
|
|
|
|
psim-opcode-complex
|
|
(the default) A fairly aggressive instruction decode
|
|
table that includes the breaking out of a number
|
|
of special instruction cases (eg RA==0 vs RA!=0).
|
|
|
|
psim-opcode-flat
|
|
Identical to complex except a switch statement
|
|
is used. Ideal for when the icache is being
|
|
disabled.
|
|
|
|
psim-opcode-stupid
|
|
In addition to the instruction decodes performed
|
|
by psim-opcode-complex, this also full decodes mtspr,
|
|
mfspr, and branch instructions. The table generated
|
|
is very large and, as a consequence, only performs
|
|
well on machines with large caches.
|
|
|
|
ppc-opcode-test-1
|
|
ppc-opcode-test-2
|
|
Generate test (but workable) tables. These exercise
|
|
PSIM's ability to generate instruction decode functions
|
|
that are a combination of jump-tables and switch statements.
|
|
|
|
The program igen generates the instruction tables from the opcode
|
|
table and the ppc-instruction table.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-switch
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enable/disable the use of a switch statement when looking up the
|
|
attributes of a SPR register.
|
|
|
|
The PowerPC architecture defines a number of Special Purpose Registers
|
|
(SPR's). Associated with each of these registers are a number of
|
|
attributes (such as validity or size) which the instructions
|
|
mtspr/mfspr query as part of their execution.
|
|
|
|
For PSIM, this information is kept in a table (ppc-spr-table). The
|
|
program dgen converts this table into lookup routines (contained in
|
|
the generated files spreg.h spreg.c) that can be used to query an
|
|
SPR's attributes. Those lookup routines are either implemented as
|
|
a table or alternatively as a number of switch statements:
|
|
|
|
spr_table spr_info[] = { .... };
|
|
int spr_length(sprs spr) { return spr_info[spr].length; }
|
|
|
|
vs
|
|
|
|
int spr_length(sprs spr) { switch (spr) { case ..: return ..; } }
|
|
|
|
In general the first implementation (a table) is the most efficient.
|
|
It may, however, prove that when performing an aggressive optimization
|
|
where both the SPR is known and the above function is being inlined
|
|
(with the consequence that GCC can eliminate the switch statement)
|
|
that the second choice is improves performance.
|
|
|
|
In practice, only a marginal (if any benefit) has ever been seen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-duplicate
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create a duplicate copy of each instruction function hardwiring
|
|
instruction fields that would have otherwise have been variable.
|
|
|
|
As discussed above, igen outputs a C function generated from the file
|
|
ppc-instructions (using the opcode rules) for each of the
|
|
instructions. Thus multiple entries in the instruction decode tables
|
|
may be pointing back at the same function. Enabling duplicate, will
|
|
result in psim creating a duplicate of the instruction's function for
|
|
each different entry in the instruction decode tables.
|
|
|
|
For instance, given the branch instruction:
|
|
|
|
0.19,6.BO,11.BI,16./,21.528,31.LK
|
|
...
|
|
if (LK) LR = (spreg)IEA(CIA + 4);
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
igen as part of its instruction lookup table may have generated two
|
|
different entries - one for LK=0 and one for LK=1. With duplicate
|
|
enabled, igen outputs (almost) duplicate copies of branch function,
|
|
one with LK hardwired to 0 and one with LK hardwired to 1.
|
|
|
|
By doing this the compiler is provided with additional information that
|
|
will allow it possibly eliminate dead code. (such as the assignment
|
|
to LK if LR==0).
|
|
|
|
Ex: default
|
|
|
|
Because this feature is such a big win, --enable-sim-duplicate is
|
|
turned on by default.
|
|
|
|
Ex: A small machine
|
|
|
|
Only rarely (eg on a very small host) would this feature need to be
|
|
disabled (using: --disable-sim-duplicate).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-filter=rule
|
|
|
|
|
|
Include/exclude PowerPC instructions that are specific to a particular
|
|
implementation.
|
|
|
|
Some of the PowerPC instructions included in the file ppc-instructions
|
|
are limited to certain specific PPC implementations. For instance,
|
|
the instruction:
|
|
|
|
0.58,6.RT,11.RA,16.DS,30.2:DS:64::Load Word Algebraic
|
|
|
|
Is only valid for the 64bit architecture. The enable-sim-filter flag
|
|
is passed to igen so that it can `filter out' any invalid
|
|
instructions. The filter rule has the form:
|
|
|
|
-f <name>
|
|
|
|
thus:
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-filter='-f 64'
|
|
|
|
(the default) would filter out all 64bit instructions.
|
|
|
|
Ex: Remove floating point instructions
|
|
|
|
A given 32bit PowerPC implementation may not include floating point
|
|
hardware. Consequently there is little point in including floating
|
|
point instructions in the instruction table. The option:
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-filter='-f 64 -f f'
|
|
|
|
will eliminate all floating point instructions from the instruction
|
|
table.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-icache=size
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set the size of the cache used to hold decoded instructions.
|
|
|
|
Psim executes instructions in two separate steps:
|
|
|
|
o instruction fetch/decode
|
|
|
|
o instruction execution
|
|
|
|
For a given instruction, the first stage need only be executed once
|
|
(the first time the instruction is encountered) while the second stage
|
|
must be executed every time the program `executes' that instruction.
|
|
|
|
Exploiting this, PSIM can maintain a cache of decoded instructions.
|
|
It will then use the decoded instruction from the cache in preference
|
|
to fetching/decoding the real instruction from memory.
|
|
|
|
Ex: default
|
|
|
|
Because this feature is normally such a big win, it is enabled by
|
|
default (with the cache size set to 1024 entries).
|
|
|
|
The 1024 entries equals 4096 bytes (or one page) of instructions.
|
|
Larger caches can be used but with caution - PSIM does not check for
|
|
address aliasing within its instruction cache.
|
|
|
|
Ex: disable the cache
|
|
|
|
There may be cases (for instance where the cache has a low hit rate)
|
|
where the psim performs better with no instruction cache. For such
|
|
situations, the cache can be disabled vis: --disable-sim-icache.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-inline[=module]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Specify the inlining of one or more modules.
|
|
|
|
Many architectures (in particular the x86) suffer from a large
|
|
function call overhead. By eliminating function calls (through
|
|
inlining of functions) a large performance gain can be achieved.
|
|
|
|
In PSIM, modules are inlined in one of two possible ways. Some
|
|
modules (such as the byte swapping code) can be inlined into any
|
|
module that calls them. Other modules, due to complex
|
|
interdependencies, are only inlined as a group when compiling the
|
|
external interface module psim.c.
|
|
|
|
Ex: default
|
|
|
|
By default the modules endian (handle be/le), bits (manipulate
|
|
bit-fields within words), cpu (the processor object) and events
|
|
(timers) are inlined in any module that calls them. This gives a
|
|
reasonable performance gain with little additional compilation
|
|
overhead.
|
|
|
|
Ex: recommended --enable-sim-inline
|
|
|
|
Assuming you machine is reasonably well configured, this option is
|
|
highly recommended. On the x86 several orders of magnitude
|
|
improvement in performance is possible.
|
|
|
|
Ex: fine tuning
|
|
|
|
The file std-config.h contains a detailed description of how the
|
|
inlining works. Individual modules can be inlined by specifying them.
|
|
For if you have a very large cache the model module could be inlined
|
|
with:
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-inline=MODEL
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-bswap
|
|
|
|
|
|
(x86 specific) Use the i486/P5/P6 byte swap instruction.
|
|
|
|
PSIM contains generic byte swapping code. For the x86 (P[4-6]) PSIM
|
|
can be built so that it uses the bswap instruction instead of relying
|
|
on the compiler to generate byte swap code.
|
|
|
|
Ex: default
|
|
|
|
By default, when compiling with GCC-2 on an i486/P5/P6 the bswap
|
|
instruction is used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-endian=endian
|
|
|
|
|
|
Specify the byte order of the target.
|
|
|
|
By default, PSIM is able to execute both big and little endian
|
|
executables. As a consequence, every byte swap routine includes a
|
|
test to see if the byte swap is really needed. By specifying the byte
|
|
order of the target (and the host below) the need for this test can be
|
|
eliminated.
|
|
|
|
Clearly setting the byte order of the target is only useful when known
|
|
before hand.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-hostendain=end
|
|
|
|
|
|
As above but for the host.
|
|
|
|
Normally this option should not be needed. configure (autoconf) should
|
|
determine the byte order of the host automatically. However if for
|
|
some reason there is a problem, this option can be used to override
|
|
autoconf.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-smp=n
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set the maximum number of processors that PSIM can model.
|
|
|
|
Psim can model (with small limitation discussed else where) a
|
|
multi-processor PowerPC environment. While the overhead of
|
|
co-ordinating the execution of a number of processors is relatively
|
|
small it is still significant when compared to handling only one
|
|
processor.
|
|
|
|
This option only sets the maximum number of processors that can be
|
|
simulated. The number active during a given simulation run us
|
|
determined at run time.
|
|
|
|
Ex: default
|
|
|
|
By default 5 processors are configured but only one is enabled.
|
|
Additional processors can be enabled with the runtime option:
|
|
|
|
-o '/openprom/options/smp 5'
|
|
|
|
Ex: recommended
|
|
|
|
Unless you intend studying multi-processor systems there is little reason for having PSIM configured with SMP support. Specifying:
|
|
|
|
--disable-sim-smp
|
|
or --enable-sim-smp=0
|
|
|
|
will eliminate any SMP such as:
|
|
|
|
for (cpu = 0; cpu < nr_cpus; cpu++)
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-xor-endian=n
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set the byte-size of the bus involved in the PowerPC's xor endian byte
|
|
swapping.
|
|
|
|
The PowerPC's implementation of BE/LE mode is different to what a
|
|
programmer may first expect. The details of this implementation are
|
|
discussed at length in PowerPC documentation.
|
|
|
|
Ex: default
|
|
|
|
By default this is configured with a value of 8 (the bus size of most
|
|
60x processors).
|
|
|
|
Ex: recommended
|
|
|
|
Unless you are expecting to test/debug PowerPC be/le switching code
|
|
this option is of little use and should be disabled:
|
|
|
|
--disable-sim-xor-endian
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-bitsize=n
|
|
|
|
|
|
Specify the bit size (32/64) of the PowerPC to be modelled.
|
|
|
|
Note: By default 32 is specified. The implementation of the 64bit
|
|
architecture is still under development.
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-hostbitsize=32|64
|
|
|
|
As above but for the host.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Psim has yet to be built on a 64bit host.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-env=env
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hardwire the PowerPC environment being modelled (user, virtual or
|
|
operating).
|
|
|
|
The PowerPC architecture defines three different levels of compliance
|
|
to its architectural specification. These environments are discussed in detail in PowerPC publications.
|
|
|
|
user - normal user programs
|
|
virtual - an extension of the user environment (includes timers)
|
|
operating - kernel code
|
|
|
|
Ex: default
|
|
|
|
By default all three environments are supported.
|
|
|
|
Ex: recommended
|
|
|
|
If you only intend running psim with user (or operating) code then
|
|
PSIM should be configured accordingly. For user code, it eliminates:
|
|
support for timers and events and redundant VM calls.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-timebase
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enable/disable the time base register.
|
|
|
|
The PowerPC architecture (virtual environment) includes a time base
|
|
register. Maintaining that register incurs an overhead in
|
|
performance that can be eliminated by eliminating time-base register
|
|
support.
|
|
|
|
Ex: default
|
|
|
|
Normally this option is not used. Instead --enable-sim-env (above) us
|
|
used to disable/enable features such as the timebase register.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-alignment=align
|
|
|
|
|
|
Control the PowerPC's memory access alignment restrictions.
|
|
|
|
The PowerPC in LE mode only allows memory transfers of a correctly
|
|
aligned size/address. The above option controls how misaligned
|
|
accesses are handled.
|
|
|
|
strict All accesses must be correctly aligned
|
|
|
|
nonstrict Unaligned access allowed (the are split
|
|
into a number of aligned accesses).
|
|
|
|
Ex: default
|
|
|
|
Unless otherwise specified PSIM will auto configure a BE program to
|
|
allow miss-aligned accesses while a LE program will not.
|
|
|
|
Ex: 604e
|
|
|
|
The recently announced 604e processor allows miss-aligned accesses in both
|
|
BE and LE modes. If modeling the 604e then you should specify:
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-alignment=nonstrict
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-trace
|
|
|
|
|
|
Include code to trace PSIM's internal progress (also controlled by the
|
|
-t option).
|
|
|
|
Checking to see if a trace message should be output slows down a
|
|
simulation. Disabling this option (--disable-sim-trace) eliminates
|
|
completely that code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-assert
|
|
|
|
|
|
Include the code that checks the correctness of parts of PSIM.
|
|
|
|
Eliminating such code (--disable-sim-assert) eliminates internal
|
|
consistency tests and their overhead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-reserved-bits
|
|
|
|
|
|
Include code to check that the reserved fields of the instruction are
|
|
zero.
|
|
|
|
The PowerPC architecture defines certain fields of some instructions
|
|
as reserved (`/'). By default, for each instruction, PSIM will check
|
|
the reserved fields causing an invalid instruction exception if a
|
|
field is invalid. Disabling this option eliminates this test. This
|
|
is at the slight risk of PSIM treating an invalid instruction as
|
|
valid.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-float
|
|
|
|
|
|
Include support for hardware floating point.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-monitor=mon
|
|
|
|
|
|
Include support for basic instruction counting.
|
|
|
|
If you are not interested in the performance of either you program or
|
|
the simulator then you can disable this option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-model=which
|
|
|
|
Hardwire the processor that will be used as a reference when modeling
|
|
execution units.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-default-model=which
|
|
|
|
|
|
Specify the processor of choice for the execution unit model.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-sim-model-issue
|
|
|
|
|
|
Include support for the modeling of processor execution units.

TYPICAL CONFIGURATION OPTIONS:
|
|
|
|
|
|
VEA CODE ONLY:
|
|
|
|
Here of note are:
|
|
|
|
o ramp up the compiler options (some
|
|
of the below are P5 specific).
|
|
|
|
o disable anything not used
|
|
|
|
CC=gcc ./configure \
|
|
--prefix=/applications/psim \
|
|
--target=powerpc-unknown-eabi \

--disable-sim-xor-endian \
|
|
--enable-sim-env=user \
|
|
--disable-sim-reserved-bits \
|
|
--disable-sim-assert \
|
|
--disable-sim-trace \
|
|
--enable-sim-cflags='-g0 -O2 -fno-strength-reduce -fomit-frame-pointer -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2'
|
|
|
|
|
|
OEA CODE ONLY:
|
|
|
|
The key configuration changes are:
|
|
|
|
o turn off the instruction cache. The overhead
|
|
of flushing and reloading it is greater than
|
|
not having a cache.
|
|
|
|
o use a switch statement (ppc-opcode-flat) for
|
|
the instruction decode and then (-O3) fully
|
|
inline all functions.
|
|
|
|
o --enable-sim-warnings is not present. GCC (2.7.2)
|
|
gets confused by the instruction decode table
|
|
generated by igen (contains a perfect switch)
|
|
and, as a consequence, generates a bogus warning.
