09c3a97a4c This patch adds the network tester for simple and garnet networks.
The tester code is in testers/networktest.
The tester can be invoked by configs/example/ruby_network_test.py.
A dummy coherence protocol called Network_test is also addded for network-only simulations and testing. The protocol takes in messages from the tester and just pushes them into the network in the appropriate vnet, without storing any state.

5103c6fe88 se.py: Modify script to make multiprogramming much easier.
Now, instead of --bench benchname, you can do --bench bench1-bench2-bench3 and it will
set up a simulation that instantiates those three workloads.  Only caveat is that now,
for sanity checking, your -n X must match the number of benches in the list.

79dac89552 ARM: Clarifies creation of Linux and baremetal ARM systems.
makeArmSystem creates both bare-metal and Linux systems more cleanly.
machine_type was never optional though listed as an optional argument; a system
such as "RealView_PBX" must now be explicitly specified.  Now that it is a
required argument, the placement of the arguments has changed slightly
requiring some changes to calls that create ARM systems.

a fake object to carry in inert values.

00f24ae92c Config: Keep track of uncached and cached ports separately.
This makes sure that the address ranges requested for caches and uncached ports
don't conflict with each other, and that accesses which are always uncached
(message signaled interrupts for instance) don't waste time passing through
caches.

a368fba7d4 Time: Add a mechanism to prevent M5 from running faster than real time.
M5 skips over any simulated time where it doesn't have any work to do. When
the simulation is active, the time skipped is short and the work done at any
point in time is relatively substantial. If the time between events is long
and/or the work to do at each event is small, it's possible for simulated time
to pass faster than real time. When running a benchmark that can be good
because it means the simulation will finish sooner in real time. When
interacting with the real world through, for instance, a serial terminal or
bridge to a real network, this can be a problem. Human or network response time
could be greatly exagerated from the perspective of the simulation and make
simulated events happen "too soon" from an external perspective.

This change adds the capability to force the simulation to run no faster than
real time. It does so by scheduling a periodic event that checks to see if
its simulated period is shorter than its real period. If it is, it stalls the
simulation until they're equal. This is called time syncing.

A future change could add pseudo instructions which turn time syncing on and
off from within the simulation. That would allow time syncing to be used for
the interactive parts of a session but then turned off when running a
benchmark using the m5 utility program inside a script. Time syncing would
probably not happen anyway while running a benchmark because there would be
plenty of work for M5 to do, but the event overhead could be avoided.

29c45ccd23 ruby: Reduced ruby latencies
The previous slower ruby latencies created a mismatch between the faster M5
cpu models and the much slower ruby memory system.  Specifically smp
interrupts were much slower and infrequent, as well as cpus moving in and out
of spin locks.  The result was many cpus were idle for large periods of time.

These changes fix the latency mismatch.

1fbe466345 sim: make Python Root object a singleton
Enforce that the Python Root SimObject is instantiated only
once.  The C++ Root object already panics if more than one is
created.  This change avoids the need to track what the root
object is, since it's available from Root.getInstance() (if it
exists).  It's now redundant to have the user pass the root
object to functions like instantiate(), checkpoint(), and
restoreCheckpoint(), so that arg is gone.  Users who use
configs/common/Simulate.py should not notice.

1d3228481f cache: Make caches sharing aware and add occupancy stats.
On the config end, if a shared L2 is created for the system, it is
parameterized to have n sharers as defined by option.num_cpus. In addition to
making the cache sharing aware so that discriminating tag policies can make use
of context_ids to make decisions, I added an occupancy AverageStat and an occ %
stat to each cache so that you could know which contexts are occupying how much
cache on average, both in terms of blocks and percentage. Note that since
devices have context_id -1, having an array of occ stats that correspond to
each context_id will break here, so in FS mode I add an extra bucket for device
blocks. This bucket is explicitly not added in SE mode in order to not only
avoid ugliness in the stats.txt file, but to avoid broken stats (some formulas
break when a bucket is 0).

2c9ca672df ruby: Memory Controller Profiler with new config system
This patch includes a rather substantial change to the memory controller
profiler in order to work with the new configuration system.  Most
noteably, the mem_cntrl_profiler no longer uses a string map, but instead
a vector.  Eventually this support should be removed from the main
profiler and go into a separate object.  Each memory controller should have
a pointer to that new mem_cntrl profile object.

98c94cfe3c ruby: Convert most Ruby objects to M5 SimObjects.
The necessary companion conversion of Ruby objects generated by SLICC

Conversion of Garnet network models is also handled in a separate
patch; that code is temporarily disabled from compiling to allow
