* plugins/cache: supported multicore cache modellingMahmoud Mandour2021-09-021-44/+132
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Multicore L1 cache modelling is introduced and is supported for both full system emulation and linux-user. For full-system emulation, L1 icache and dcache are maintained for each available core, since this information is exposed to the plugin through `qemu_plugin_n_vcpus()`. For linux-user, a static number of cores is assumed (default 1 core, and can be provided as a plugin argument `cores=N`). Every memory access goes through one of these caches, this approach is taken as it's somewhat akin to what happens on real setup, where a program that dispatches more threads than the available cores, they'll thrash each other Signed-off-by: Mahmoud Mandour <ma.mandourr@gmail.com> Message-Id: <20210803151301.123581-2-ma.mandourr@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Bennée <alex.bennee@linaro.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | It's not necessary to lock the address translation portion of the vcpu_mem_access callback.

* plugins/cache: Fixed a bug with destroying FIFO metadataMahmoud Mandour2021-07-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | This manifests itself when associativity degree is greater than the number of sets and FIFO is used, otherwise it's also a memory leak whenever FIFO was used.

* plugins/cache: Added FIFO and LRU eviction policiesMahmoud Mandour2021-07-141-13/+190
| | | | | | | | | | | Implemented FIFO and LRU eviction policies. Now one of the three eviction policies can be chosen as an argument. On not specifying an argument, LRU is used by default.

* plugins: Added a new cache modelling pluginMahmoud Mandour2021-07-141-0/+419
Added a cache modelling plugin that uses a static configuration used in many of the commercial microprocessors and uses random eviction policy. The purpose of the plugin is to identify the most cache-thrashing instructions for both instruction cache and data cache.
