This code is no longer needed because of the preceeding change which adds a
StaticInstPtr parameter to the fault's invoke method, obviating the only use
for this pair of functions.
Also move the "Fault" reference counted pointer type into a separate file,
sim/fault.hh. It would be better to name this less similarly to sim/faults.hh
to reduce confusion, but fault.hh matches the name of the type. We could change
Fault to FaultPtr to match other pointer types, and then changing the name of
the file would make more sense.
This is necessary because versions of swig older than 1.3.39 fail to
do the right thing and try to do relative imports for everything (even
with the package= option to %module). Instead of putting params in
the m5.internal.params package, put params in the m5.internal package
and make all param modules start with param_. Same thing for
m5.internal.enums.
Also, stop importing all generated params into m5.objects. They are
not necessary and now with everything using relative imports we wound
up with pollution of the namespace (where builtin-range got overridden).

Instead of putting all object files into m5/object/__init__.py, interrogate
the importer to find out what should be imported.
Instead of creating a single file that lists all of the embedded python
modules, use static object construction to put those objects onto a list.
Do something similar for embedded swig (C++) code.
It doesn't appear to be necessary and it is somewhat odd. I'm pretty
sure that the package parameter to %module does whatever this might
have been before. It's necessary in future revisions anyway.
Corrects an oversight in cset f97b62be544f. The fix there only
failed queued SCUpgradeReq packets that encountered an
invalidation, which meant that the upgrade had to reach the L2
cache. To handle pending requests in the L1 we must similarly
fail StoreCondReq packets too.
Allow lower-level caches (e.g., L2 or L3) to pass exclusive
copies to higher levels (e.g., L1). This eliminates a lot
of unnecessary upgrade transactions on read-write sequences
to non-shared data.
Also some cleanup of MSHR coherence handling and multiple
bug fixes.
Don't assert that the response packet is marked as a response
since it won't always be so for functional accesses.
Also cleanup code to refer to functional accesses rather
than "probes" (old terminology), and mention in the
DPRINTF which type of access we're doing.
Without this flag set, page-crossing requests were not split into two mem
request.
Depending on the alignment bit in the SCTLR, misaligned access could
raise a fault. However it seems unnecessary to implement that.
This fault can used to flush the pipe, not including the faulting instruction.
The particular case I needed this was for a self-modifying code. It needed to
drain the store queue and force the following instruction to refetch from
icache. DCCMVAC cp15 mcr instruction is modified to raise this fault.
When decoding a srs instruction, invalid mode encoding returns invalid instruction.
This can happen when garbage instructions are fetched from mispredicted path
Allow some loads that update the base register to use just two micro-ops. three
micro-ops are only used if the destination register matches the offset register
or the PC is the destination regsiter. If the PC is updated it needs to be
the last micro-op otherwise O3 will mispredict.
inUserMode now can take either a threadcontext or a CPSR value directly. If
given a thread context it just extracts the CPSR and calls the other version.
An inPrivelegedMode function was also implemented which just returns the
opposite of inUserMode.
This is to help tidy up arch/x86. These files should not be used external to
the ISA.

This single parameter replaces the collection of bools that set up various
flavors of microops. A flag parameter also allows other flags to be set like
the serialize before/after flags, etc., without having to change the
constructor.
Since miscellaneous registers bypass wakeup logic, force serialization
to resolve data dependencies through them

ARM: adding non-speculative/serialize flags for instructions change CPSR
THis allows the CPU to handle predicated-false instructions accordingly.
This particular patch makes loads that are predicated-false to be sent
straight to the commit stage directly, not waiting for return of the data
that was never requested since it was predicated-false.
This allows one two different OS requirements for the same ISA to be handled.
Some OSes are compiled for a virtual address and need to be loaded into physical
memory that starts at address 0, while other bare metal tools generate
images that start at address 0.
This was being done in read(), but if readBytes was called directly it
wouldn't happen. Also, instead of setting the memory blob being read to -1
which would (I believe) require using memset with -1 as a parameter, this now
uses bzero. It's hoped that it's more specialized behavior will make it
slightly faster.
bkt size isn't evenly divisible by max-min and it would round down,
it's possible to sample a distribution and have no place to put the sample.
When this case occured the simulator would assert.
This patch allows messages to be stalled in their input buffers and wait
until a corresponding address changes state. In order to make this work,
all in_ports must be ranked in order of dependence and those in_ports that
may unblock an address, must wake up the stalled messages. Alot of this
complexity is handled in slicc and the specification files simply
annotate the in_ports.
