mem: Add CHIron CCHI fabric with pluggable L2/home endpoints - #1142
Kumonda221-CrO3 wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
Add an alternative to the classic tol2bus/L2/L3 hierarchy: each core's
L1I/L1D (+ walker caches) attaches to a CCHIL1Agent (CHIron Taurus
node) wired to a per-system CCHIFabric hosting the downstream home and
bridging to membus/DRAM via AXI4. Fully opt-in; stock builds/configs
are bit-identical (verified on coremark and linux boot).
Downstream endpoints (--cchi-downstream):
- earth: vendored behavioral home (src/mem/cchi/earth)
- rtl: Verilator backend for user-supplied tops (e.g. Venus;
ships wiring for the XSCache TestTop_L2OpenLLC: Oceanus L2 +
OpenLLC + OpenNCB -> AXI4)
Build-time (sticky scons vars, compile-time toggles only):
- WITH_CCHI + CHIRON_DIR: core fabric (build_opts/RISCV_CCHI)
- WITH_CCHI_RTL: Verilator endpoints (build_opts/RISCV_CCHI_RTL)
- CCHI_RTL_TOP=TestTop_L2OpenLLC + CCHI_XSCACHE_DIR: XSCache variant
(build_opts/RISCV_CCHI_XSCACHE); checkout paths are never repo
defaults and missing paths fail the build with explicit errors
Runtime: --cchi, --cchi-downstream={earth,rtl}, --no-cchi-l2-pf
(downstreams without stash support, e.g. XSCache RTL),
--cchi-flit-trace. The L2 prefetch engine is preserved on the agent
and the L1->L2 pf-hint wire targets it as before.
Agent coherence fixes found during Venus/XSCache bring-up:
- early-release snoop branch now requires !grantedHit (was silently
losing L1-only dirty data)
- reaped snoop-merge line: counted drop instead of panic
- store-hit backoff while SNP/EVT in flight
Supporting changes:
- memtest: check_data param (testers sharing one address space)
- BaseCache::calReqInterval: grow prevReqCycles for requestors
registered after construction (testers bind at init)
- minor: const InstId::operator==
- SConstruct: C++20 for CHIron; optional vendored boost/sqlite3
include paths for hosts without the system packages
- util/cchi/run_xscache_linux.sh: parameterized one-shot XSCache
linux boot (errors on missing inputs)
Validation (see src/mem/cchi/README.md):
- memtest 100k loads clean on earth/Venus/XSCache, monitor 0
- coremark difftest-on pass (CRC 0x8e3a/0x72be); linux boots to
m5_exit on all endpoints; stock RISCV/RISCV_CCHI bit-identical

- This unconditionally changes the compiler mode for every target, including the stock
build/RISCVvariant, even though the PR describes C++20 as required only for CHIron/CCHI and claims stock builds remain bit-identical. That also raises the compiler/library requirement for users who do not enable CCHI. Scope C++20 to the CHIron sources or a CCHI build environment instead of changing the global flags.
# We always compile using C++20 (bumped from C++17 for the CCHI
# integration, which needs C++20 concepts/consteval from CHIron).
# Strict ISO mode (not gnu++20): the gnu dialect predefines 'linux'
# as a macro, which collides with gem5::linux namespaces.
env.Append(CXXFLAGS=['-std=c++20'])
src/mem/cchi/SConscript:182
- The
.vltwaiver is appended after all generated RTL sources and then passed at the end of the Verilator command. Verilator applies positional control-file waivers to following inputs, so these XSCache waivers do not suppress diagnostics from the earlier firtool files. Put the waiver before the RTL source list (while retaining it in the freshness stamp).
waivers = os.path.join(xscache_dir, 'scripts', 'cohestra',
'xscache_waivers.vlt')
if os.path.isfile(waivers):
rtl_srcs += ' ' + waivers
src/mem/cchi/SConsopts:20
- CCHI_RTL_SRCS is advertised as accepting source files or directories, but SConscript splits the value and requires every entry to pass os.path.isfile(). Supplying a directory as the documented API allows will always fail before Verilator runs. Either expand directory entries into source files or change the option contract to files only.
('CCHI_RTL_SRCS',
'Space-separated RTL source files/dirs for the CCHI endpoint', ''),
src/mem/cchi/cchi_axi_mem_bridge.cc:83
- The admission check validates only the first beat. An INCR burst can start inside the CCHI window and then reach
memoryEnd, yet later beats are still read-modify-written and the burst is reported OKAY. Validate the complete INCR span (with overflow-safe arithmetic) before accepting the transaction.
txn.error = aw->Burst == Cohestra::AXI::Burst::WRAP ||
beatBytes(aw->Size) > portBytes ||
!inWindow(aw->Addr, beatBytes(aw->Size));
src/mem/cchi/cchi_axi_mem_bridge.cc:167
- The read-side admission check has the same first-beat-only problem: a later beat of an INCR burst may leave the configured window, but the bridge still queues an OKAY/DECERR sequence based only on the initial address. Validate the entire burst span before setting
txn.error/accepting it.
txn.error = ar->Burst == Cohestra::AXI::Burst::WRAP ||
beatBytes(ar->Size) > portBytes ||
!inWindow(ar->Addr, beatBytes(ar->Size));
src/mem/cchi/cchi_fabric.cc:160
AddrRange(start, end)uses an exclusive end, so subtracting one here drops the final byte from the fabric's advertised range and causes the RTL bridge's window check to reject the final line. Pass the configured exclusivememoryEnddirectly.
addrRanges.emplace_back(memoryStart, memoryEnd - 1);
src/mem/cchi/cchi_l1_agent.hh:47
- The bridge dispatches
HardPFReqtoissueStore(..., false), which issuesDoStore/ReadUnique for writable prefetches, notDoLoadas this mapping says. Update the contract comment so it does not mislead future changes to prefetch ownership semantics.

Inline comments:
In `@configs/common/CacheConfig.py`:
- Line 421: Update config_cache() to reject CCHI mode when options.caches is
absent or options.external_memory_system is configured, before the CCHI cache
wiring dereferences private caches. Preserve CCHI behavior only when locally
created icache and dcache objects with the required mem_side interface are
available.
In `@configs/example/cchi_memtest.py`:
- Around line 43-44: Update the snoop_merge argument in the parser configuration
so the safe mode is enabled by default, and replace the current opt-in
store_true behavior with an explicit debug-only option that disables snoop_merge
when requested. Preserve the existing snoop_merge configuration flow while
making the unsafe path opt-in.
- Line 91: Update the MemTest configuration around the check_data argument to
keep data checking enabled for multicore runs; do not condition it on
args.num_cpus == 1. Preserve the existing MemTest tester and request behavior
while ensuring incorrect L1-hit data is validated.
In `@SConstruct`:
- Around line 449-453: Update the compiler-version checks used before the
unconditional C++20 flag in the SConstruct configuration so GCC requires at
least 10 and Clang at least 10, or select the supported -std=c++2a spelling for
older C++20-capable compilers. Keep the existing strict ISO C++20 compilation
behavior for compilers that support -std=c++20.
In `@src/mem/cchi/cchi_axi_mem_bridge.cc`:
- Around line 102-124: Guard the write data path in the W-beat handler with `if
(!w.error)`, including the line-straddle `panic_if` and the line
read-modify-write operations. This must prevent memory access for denied WRAP,
oversized, or out-of-window writes and avoid indexing `beat->Strb` or
`beat->Data` when `beatBytes(w.aw.Size)` exceeds `portBytes`; preserve the
existing behavior for valid writes.
In `@src/mem/cchi/cchi_fabric.cc`:
- Line 160: Update the AddrRange construction in CCHIL1Agent::getAddrRanges() to
use the exclusive memoryEnd directly instead of memoryEnd - 1, so the advertised
range includes the same final address accepted by isCacheable().
In `@src/mem/cchi/cchi_l1_agent.cc`:
- Around line 174-180: Update CCHIL1Agent::recvTimingReq so StorePFTrain packets
are assigned to the pendingDelete member instead of being deleted immediately;
preserve the existing statistics, notification, and successful return behavior,
matching BaseCache::recvTimingReq’s deferred deletion pattern.
- Around line 892-898: Update CCHIL1Agent::init to reject cache configurations
whose connected cache block size is not 64 bytes. In both fillFromEntry and
performAtomicOp, add a panic_if guard ensuring offset + size does not exceed 64
before copying or passing snapshot data to Packet::setData, preserving the
existing 64-byte line assumptions.
In `@src/mem/cchi/CCHIFabric.py`:
- Around line 59-62: Update CCHIFabric’s memory_start and memory_end
configuration so the CCHI-managed window is derived from system.mem_ranges, or
validate and reject any configuration whose ranges are not fully covered. Ensure
CCHIL1Agent cannot route addresses outside the configured coherent window
through the non-coherent bypass path.
In `@src/mem/cchi/earth/earth_model.cpp`:
- Around line 1731-1743: The MergeBeat implementation in EarthModel must
correctly handle CCHI dataWidth == 512 without shifting a 32-bit BE mask beyond
bit 31. Align the byte-enable iteration and indexing with the protocol’s 32-bit
byte-enable encoding so upper payload bytes are selected correctly, or
explicitly reject 512-bit data widths; do not widen BE or change the protocol
contract.
In `@util/cchi/run_xscache_linux.sh`:
- Around line 121-122: Update the argument construction around DEBUG_FLAGS and
MAXINSTS so only --debug-flags is placed before configs/example/kmhv3.py as a
gem5 global option, while -I "$MAXINSTS" remains after the configuration script
as a configuration-script option.

Require private L1 caches for CCHI mode.
When cchi is true without options.caches, config_cache() does not create system.cpu[i].icache or system.cpu[i].dcache, but the CCHI branch still dereferences both objects. This can fail during CPU port wiring.
Reject cchi without options.caches. Also reject cchi with options.external_memory_system; that path creates ExternalCache objects, which do not provide the cache mem_side interface required by the CCHI wiring.

Enable snoop_merge by default.
store_true makes snoop_merge false unless the user supplies this option. CacheConfig.py Lines 257-264 document that this mode can discard dirty L1 snoop-response data and cause silent data loss.
Use the safe mode by default. If testing the unsafe path remains necessary, expose it as an explicit debug-only disable option.

Keep check_data enabled for multicore MemTest runs.
MemTest::tick() assigns each tester a distinct byte address with blockAlign(offset) + id. MemTest::completeRequest() tracks reference data by the full physical address. False sharing does not make the reference entries race. With check_data=False, incorrect data returned by an L1 hit is not checked.

What GCC and Clang versions support the -std=c++20 flag (as opposed to -std=c++2a)?
💡 Result:
There is no compiler flag named "as opposed to" for GCC or Clang. The phrase "as opposed to" appears in technical documentation, source code comments, and help text merely as a natural language connector to contrast different compiler features, modes, or behaviors [1][2][3][4]. For example: - In GCC and C preprocessor documentation, the flag -traditional is described as: "Try to imitate the behavior of pre-standard C preprocessors, as opposed to ISO C preprocessors" [4][5][6]. - In LLVM/Clang source code and documentation, comments often use the phrase to distinguish between driver modes or implementation details, such as clarifying that an option is visible in the clang driver "as opposed to" clang -cc1 [1][7]. If you encountered this phrasing in a technical context, it is a descriptive explanation provided by the documentation authors rather than a literal command-line argument. If you are looking for specific compiler flags or behaviors, please check the official GCC or Clang command-line option manuals for the specific feature you are trying to configure.

💡 Result:
Clang 10, released in March 2020, provided partial support for C++20. While the compiler introduced initial infrastructure and support for various C++20 features, it did not offer complete implementation of the full C++20 standard. Key details regarding C++20 support in Clang: 1. Feature Status: At the time of the Clang 10 release, C++20 was still an emerging standard. Clang 10 included implementations for several C++20 features, such as coroutines (initially as an extension) and various language refinements. However, complete support—including complex features like Standard C++ Modules—continued to evolve and improve in subsequent releases. 2. Language Mode: Users could enable the then-current C++20 support by using the command-line flag -std=c++20 or -std=gnu++20. 3. Evolution: Support for C++20 in Clang has been iterative. Features like Standard C++ Modules (which are distinct from Clang's internal modules extension) were not fully realized in Clang 10 and required significant subsequent development to reach their current state in later versions of Clang. For projects requiring full C++20 compliance, it is recommended to use a more recent version of Clang, as the compiler undergoes continuous improvements to its C++ standard conformance in every release. Only the current public release of Clang is officially supported, and bug fixes are generally not backported to older releases like Clang 10.

💡 Result:
The official online documentation for all versions of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), including older releases like GCC 10 and GCC 11, is maintained by the GNU Project [1][2]. You can access these manuals through the official GCC online documentation portal at: https://gcc.sourceware.org/onlinedocs/ [1]. This portal provides access to: - Official manuals for various GCC releases (e.g., GCC 16, GCC 14, GCC 12, and others). - Documentation for specific components such as the GCC Manual, GNU Fortran, CPP (C Preprocessor), GNAT (Ada), and the Standard C++ Library. - Multiple formats including HTML, PDF, PostScript, and HTML tarballs. While the portal primarily lists the most recent stable releases, archives for older versions like GCC 10 and 11 are generally available through the main documentation site or the GNU FTP archive. If you are looking for specific documentation that is no longer linked directly on the main page, it is recommended to search the GNU GCC website or the specific release directories on the official GNU servers.

💡 Result:
In both Clang 9 and Clang 10, the default C++ language mode is gnu++14 [1][2][3]. To use a different language standard, you can use the -std= option followed by the desired standard (e.g., -std=c++17 or -std=c++2a for C++20 experimental support in Clang 10) [1][2][3]. Key differences and details regarding language modes in these versions include: Language Standard Selection: Both versions use the -std= flag to specify the language standard [1][2]. Supported C++ values include c++98, c++03, c++11, c++14, c++17, and their corresponding gnu++ variants [1][2]. C++20 Support: Clang 10 introduced support for C++2a (the working draft for C++20) via the -std=c++2a flag [4]. Clang 9 also included the -std=c++2a flag for experimental C++20 support [2][3]. Default C++ Mode: The default C++ language standard for both Clang 9 and Clang 10 is gnu++14 [1][2][3]. Default C Mode: The default C language standard for both Clang 9 and Clang 10 is gnu11 (except on PS4, where it is gnu99) [1][2][3]. For further verification, you can check the official documentation for your specific version at releases.llvm.org [4][5].

The compiler flag -std=c++20 is used to specify that the source code should be compiled according to the C++20 language standard [1]. When provided to compilers like GCC or Clang, this flag enables support for language features defined in the C++20 specification [1]. In some compiler versions, particularly those released while the C++20 standard was still under development, the flag -std=c++2a was used to enable features that eventually became part of the final C++20 standard [1]. Modern compilers now typically recognize -std=c++20 as the standard way to invoke these features [1]. To use this flag, you include it in your compiler command line: g++ -std=c++20 main.cpp -o main clang++ -std=c++20 main.cpp -o main

Clang 11 command guide -std=c++20 -std=c++2a aliases
💡 Result:
In Clang, including version 11, command line options often have aliases to maintain compatibility with other compilers, particularly GCC, and to provide more intuitive or shorter syntax [1][2]. Key aspects of Clang command aliases include: Functional Aliases: Many command-line flags have equivalent forms. For example, some options support both a short form and a long form (e.g., -I and --include-directory) [1]. Other flags act as aliases for specific actions, such as -mcpu=? and -mtune=? serving as aliases for --print-supported-cpus [1][2]. Compiler Compatibility: Clang is designed to be highly compatible with GCC and, on Windows, with the MSVC-style command-line interface (cl.exe) [3][4]. - GCC Compatibility: Many standard GCC flags are supported directly as aliases or equivalent options within the Clang driver [3]. - MSVC Compatibility (CL Compatibility): When using Clang in compatibility mode (often triggered by the driver name or specific flags), Clang recognizes MSVC-style options. These are internally implemented as aliases to standard Clang command-line arguments. For example, common flags like /c, /D, /I, and /O are mapped to their Clang equivalents [4]. Driver-Level Handling: Aliases are managed within the Clang driver (the program that processes command-line arguments and invokes the compiler). In the Clang source code, these are often defined in table-driven files (e.g.,.td files) that specify the mapping from an alias to the canonical flag [4]. For developers needing to list or understand specific argument mappings for a given version, the Clang Command Line Argument Reference provides the most authoritative, version-specific documentation [1][5]. Users should consult the documentation corresponding to their specific Clang version (e.g., Clang 11.x) to ensure accuracy regarding supported aliases in their environment [6][1].

GCC 11 C++ dialect options -std=c++20 GCC 10 C++ dialect options -std=c++2a
💡 Result:
Both GCC 10 and GCC 11 utilize the -std= command-line option to specify the C++ language dialect [1][2]. While the -std= option is documented under the Options Controlling C Dialect section in GCC documentation, it remains the primary mechanism for selecting C++ standards [2]. Available C++ dialect values for these versions include: -std=c++98 or -std=c++03: ISO C++98 with amendments [1]. -std=c++11: ISO C++11 standard [1]. -std=c++14: ISO C++14 standard [1]. -std=c++17: ISO C++17 standard [1]. -std=c++20: ISO C++20 standard [1]. In addition to standard versions, GCC supports GNU extensions (e.g., -std=gnu++17, -std=gnu++20), which enable the selected C++ standard plus GNU-specific extensions [1]. Beyond the -std= flag, both versions provide numerous options to control specific C++ language features, categorized under Options Controlling C++ Dialect [3][2]. Common options include: -faligned-new: Enables support for C++17 aligned allocation [2]. -fsized-deallocation: Enables C++14 sized deallocation [2]. -fstrong-eval-order: Implements C++17 strong evaluation order for expressions [2]. -fno-rtti: Disables Run-Time Type Information [4]. -fno-exceptions: Disables exception handling [4]. For a complete list of these fine-grained control flags, you can refer to the Options Controlling C++ Dialect section in the official documentation for your specific GCC version [3][2].

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔴 Critical | ⚡ Quick win
Apply w.error to the write data path.
serviceWrite computes txn.error for a WRAP burst, an oversized beat, or an out-of-window address, but the W-beat handler ignores it. Two consequences follow.
- The bridge performs the line read-modify-write into gem5 memory even for a denied burst. For an out-of-window
aw->Addr, this writes memory outside the fabric address ranges while the B response still reportsDECERR. - When
beatBytes(w.aw.Size) > portBytes, the loop at Line 118 indexesbeat->Strbandbeat->Datapast the port width.serviceReadsizes its buffer fromportBytes, so the same beat buffers hold onlyportBytesbytes.
serviceRead already guards its data path with if (!r.error). Use the same guard here, and place the panic_if line-straddle check inside the guard so a denied address cannot abort the simulation.

Guard both 64-byte line-relative copies.
CCHIL1Agent hard-codes 64-byte lines, but init() does not reject a non-64-byte cache-line configuration. A cache miss packet uses the connected cache's blkSize, so a non-64-byte L1 can send a packet that exceeds the 64-byte snapshot. fillFromEntry then reads past fillData, and performAtomicOp passes an unchecked pointer to Packet::setData. Reject incompatible configurations during setup and guard both copy sites with panic_if(offset + size > 64, ...).

Align the CCHI memory window with system.mem_ranges.
CCHIFabric defaults to [0x80000000, 0xA0000000), but CacheConfig.py does not override these parameters. CCHIL1Agent sends requests outside this window through its non-coherent bypass port. Memory beyond the 512 MiB window can therefore bypass CCHI without a configuration error.
Derive the window from system.mem_ranges, or reject configurations that are not fully covered.

🌐 Web query:
GitHub CHIron "CommonFlitConfigurationType1" "dataWidth"
💡 Result:
In the context of the RISMicroDevices/CHIron GitHub repository, which provides open-source AMBA CHI infrastructure, the term CommonFlitConfigurationType1 is not a standard, publicly documented identifier. Based on repository source code analysis, CHIron utilizes a C++ template-based configuration system for CHI protocol flits [1][2][3]. While specific references to a type named "CommonFlitConfigurationType1" do not appear in the repository's public code, the project makes extensive use of flit configuration concepts (e.g., REQFlitConfigurationConcept, SNPFlitConfigurationConcept) to define field widths and LSB (Least Significant Bit) positions for various CHI flit types [1][2]. Recent development in the repository (e.g., commit 6d26e6e) has explicitly introduced support for "Data width" and "DataID" fields within these flit specifications [4]. These configurations are managed through template parameters that allow for the dynamic definition of field characteristics, which are then used in field patching and validation utilities [1][2][5]. If you are encountering this specific name in a localized or downstream branch of the project, it is likely a user-defined template parameter or alias used to aggregate common CHI flit field widths (such as dataWidth) into a single configuration structure for protocol modeling [4][1].

Fix MergeBeat for the 512-bit CCHI data width.
Flits::UpDAT::BE is a 32-bit field, so the uint32_t casts do not truncate it. CCHI permits dataWidth == 512, which makes WORDS_PER_BEAT == 8. EarthModel::MergeBeat then shifts uint32_t(1) by 32–63. These shifts are undefined, and the loop cannot select the upper payload bytes. Align MergeBeat with the CCHI byte-enable encoding, or reject dataWidth == 512 for this Earth model. Do not widen BE to uint64_t without changing the protocol contract.

Move only gem5 global options before the configuration script.
gem5.opt consumes --debug-flags before configs/example/kmhv3.py. The script currently appends it after the configuration script, so kmhv3.py receives it as a configuration argument and can reject it. However, -I is registered by configs/common/Options.py as a configuration-script option and must remain after kmhv3.py.

Add an alternative to the classic tol2bus/L2/L3 hierarchy: each core's L1I/L1D (+ walker caches) attaches to a CCHIL1Agent (CHIron Taurus node) wired to a per-system CCHIFabric hosting the downstream home and bridging to membus/DRAM via AXI4. Fully opt-in; stock builds/configs are bit-identical (verified on coremark and linux boot).
Downstream endpoints (--cchi-downstream):

OpenLLC + OpenNCB -> AXI4)
Build-time (sticky scons vars, compile-time toggles only):
Runtime: --cchi, --cchi-downstream={earth,rtl}, --no-cchi-l2-pf (downstreams without stash support, e.g. XSCache RTL), --cchi-flit-trace. The L2 prefetch engine is preserved on the agent and the L1->L2 pf-hint wire targets it as before.
