riscv: [Patch 7/5] Corrected LRSC semantics

Browse source 
RISC-V makes use of load-reserved and store-conditional instructions to
enable creation of lock-free concurrent data manipulation as well as
ACQUIRE and RELEASE semantics for memory ordering of LR, SC, and AMO
instructions (the latter of which do not follow LR/SC semantics). This
patch is a correction to patch 4, which added these instructions to the
implementation of RISC-V. It modifies locked_mem.hh and the
implementations of lr.w, sc.w, lr.d, and sc.d to apply the proper gem5
flags and return the proper values.

An important difference between gem5's LLSC semantics and RISC-V's LR/SC
ones, beyond the name, is that gem5 uses 0 to indicate failure and 1 to
indicate success, while RISC-V is the opposite. Strictly speaking, RISC-V
uses 0 to indicate success and nonzero to indicate failure where the
value would indicate the error, but currently only 1 is reserved as a
failure code by the ISA reference.

This is the seventh patch in the series which originally consisted of five
patches that added the RISC-V ISA to gem5. The original five patches added
all of the instructions and added support for more detailed CPU models and
the sixth patch corrected the implementations of Linux constants and
structs. There will be an eighth patch that adds some regression tests
for the instructions.

[Removed some commented-out code from locked_mem.hh.]
