7d7ab73862 sim: Add the notion of clock domains to all ClockedObjects
This patch adds the notion of source- and derived-clock domains to the
ClockedObjects. As such, all clock information is moved to the clock
domain, and the ClockedObjects are grouped into domains.

The clock domains are either source domains, with a specific clock
period, or derived domains that have a parent domain and a divider
(potentially chained). For piece of logic that runs at a derived clock
(a ratio of the clock its parent is running at) the necessary derived
clock domain is created from its corresponding parent clock
domain. For now, the derived clock domain only supports a divider,
thus ensuring a lower speed compared to its parent. Multiplier
functionality implies a PLL logic that has not been modelled yet
(create a separate clock instead).

The clock domains should be used as a mechanism to provide a
controllable clock source that affects clock for every clocked object
lying beneath it. The clock of the domain can (in a future patch) be
controlled by a handler responsible for dynamic frequency scaling of
the respective clock domains.

All the config scripts have been retro-fitted with clock domains. For
the System a default SrcClockDomain is created. For CPUs that run at a
different speed than the system, there is a seperate clock domain
created. This domain incorporates the CPU and the associated
caches. As before, Ruby runs under its own clock domain.

The clock period of all domains are pre-computed, such that no virtual
functions or multiplications are needed when calling
clockPeriod. Instead, the clock period is pre-computed when any
changes occur. For this to be possible, each clock domain tracks its
children.

7846f59d0d arch: Create a method to finalize physical addresses
in the TLB

Some architectures (currently only x86) require some fixing-up of
physical addresses after a normal address translation. This is usually
to remap devices such as the APIC, but could be used for other memory
mapped devices as well. When running the CPU in a using hardware
virtualization, we still need to do these address fix-ups before
inserting the request into the memory system. This patch moves this
patch allows that code to be used by such CPUs without doing full
address translations.

0acd2a96e5 scons: Add warning for overloaded virtual functions
A derived function with a different signature than a base class
function will result in the base class function of the same name being
hidden. The parameter list and return type for the member function in
the derived class must match those of the member function in the base
class, otherwise the function in the derived class will hide the
function in the base class and no polymorphic behaviour will occur.

This patch addresses these warnings by ensuring a unique function name
to avoid (unintentionally) hiding any functions.

fc57ae6401 x86, cpu: corrects 270c9a75e91f, take over decoder on cpu switch
The changes made by the changeset 270c9a75e91f do not work well with switching
of cpus. The problem is that decoder for the old thread context holds state
that is not taken over by the new decoder.

This patch adds a takeOverFrom() function to Decoder class in each ISA. Except
for x86, functions in other ISAs are blank. For x86, the function copies state
from the old decoder to the new decoder.

25ec278a0b x86: Changes to decoder, corrects 9376
The changes made by the changeset 9376 were not quite correct. The patch made
changes to the code which resulted in decoder not getting initialized correctly
when the state was restored from a checkpoint.

This patch adds a startup function to each ISA object. For x86, this function
sets the required state in the decoder. For other ISAs, the function is empty
right now.

17b47d35e1 arch: Move the ISA object to a separate section
After making the ISA an independent SimObject, it is serialized
automatically by the Python world. Previously, this just resulted in
an empty ISA section. This patch moves the contents of the ISA to that
section and removes the explicit ISA serialization from the thread
contexts, which makes it behave like a normal SimObject during
serialization.

Note: This patch breaks checkpoint backwards compatibility! Use the
cpt_upgrader.py utility to upgrade old checkpoints to the new format.

3db3f83a5e arch: Make the ISA class inherit from SimObject
The ISA class on stores the contents of ID registers on many
architectures. In order to make reset values of such registers
configurable, we make the class inherit from SimObject, which allows
us to use the normal generated parameter headers.

This patch introduces a Python helper method, BaseCPU.createThreads(),
which creates a set of ISAs for each of the threads in an SMT
system. Although it is currently only needed when creating
multi-threaded CPUs, it should always be called before instantiating
the system as this is an obvious place to configure ID registers
identifying a thread/CPU.

69d419f313 o3: Fix issue with LLSC ordering and speculation
This patch unlocks the cpu-local monitor when the CPU sees a snoop to a locked
address. Previously we relied on the cache to handle the locking for us, however
some users on the gem5 mailing list reported a case where the cpu speculatively
executes a ll operation after a pending sc operation in the pipeline and that
makes the cache monitor valid. This should handle that case by invaliding the
local monitor.

e17c375ddd Decoder: Remove the thread context get/set from the decoder.
This interface is no longer used, and getting rid of it simplifies the
decoders and code that sets up the decoders. The thread context had been used
to read architectural state which was used to contextualize the instruction
memory as it came in. That was changed so that the state is now sent to the
decoders to keep locally if/when it changes. That's significantly more
efficient.

c0ab52799c sim: Include object header files in SWIG interfaces
When casting objects in the generated SWIG interfaces, SWIG uses
classical C-style casts ( (Foo *)bar; ). In some cases, this can
degenerate into the equivalent of a reinterpret_cast (mainly if only a
forward declaration of the type is available). This usually works for
most compilers, but it is known to break if multiple inheritance is
used anywhere in the object hierarchy.

This patch introduces the cxx_header attribute to Python SimObject
definitions, which should be used to specify a header to include in
the SWIG interface. The header should include the declaration of the
wrapped object. We currently don't enforce header the use of the
header attribute, but a warning will be generated for objects that do
not use it.

ac161c1d72 ISA: generic Linux thread info support
This patch takes the Linux thread info support scattered across
different ISA implementations (currently in ARM, ALPHA, and MIPS), and
unifies them into a single file.

Adds a few more helper functions to read out TGID, mm, etc.

ISA-specific information (e.g., ALPHA PCBB register) is now moved to
the corresponding isa_traits.hh files.

d7ad8dc608 Checkpoint: Make system serialize call children
This patch changes how the serialization of the system works. The base
class had a non-virtual serialize and unserialize, that was hidden by
a function with the same name for a number of subclasses (most likely
not intentional as the base class should have been virtual). A few of
the derived systems had no specialization at all (e.g. Power and x86
that simply called the System::serialize), but MIPS and Alpha adds
additional symbol table entries to the checkpoint.

Instead of overriding the virtual function, the additional entries are
now printed through a virtual function (un)serializeSymtab. The reason
for not calling System::serialize from the two related systems is that
a follow up patch will require the system to also serialize the
PhysicalMemory, and if this is done in the base class if ends up being
between the general parts and the specialized symbol table.

With this patch, the checkpoint is not modified, as the order of the
segments is unchanged.

0cacf7e817 Clock: Add a Cycles wrapper class and use where applicable
This patch addresses the comments and feedback on the preceding patch
that reworks the clocks and now more clearly shows where cycles
(relative cycle counts) are used to express time.

Instead of bumping the existing patch I chose to make this a separate
patch, merely to try and focus the discussion around a smaller set of
changes. The two patches will be pushed together though.

This changes done as part of this patch are mostly following directly
from the introduction of the wrapper class, and change enough code to
make things compile and run again. There are definitely more places
where int/uint/Tick is still used to represent cycles, and it will
take some time to chase them all down. Similarly, a lot of parameters
should be changed from Param.Tick and Param.Unsigned to
Param.Cycles.

In addition, the use of curTick is questionable as there should not be
an absolute cycle. Potential solutions can be built on top of this
patch. There is a similar situation in the o3 CPU where
lastRunningCycle is currently counting in Cycles, and is still an
absolute time. More discussion to be had in other words.

An additional change that would be appropriate in the future is to
perform a similar wrapping of Tick and probably also introduce a
Ticks class along with suitable operators for all these classes.

b6aa6d55eb clang/gcc: Fix compilation issues with clang 3.0 and gcc 4.6
This patch addresses a number of minor issues that cause problems when
compiling with clang >= 3.0 and gcc >= 4.6. Most importantly, it
avoids using the deprecated ext/hash_map and instead uses
unordered_map (and similarly so for the hash_set). To make use of the
new STL containers, g++ and clang has to be invoked with "-std=c++0x",
and this is now added for all gcc versions >= 4.6, and for clang >=
3.0. For gcc >= 4.3 and <= 4.5 and clang <= 3.0 we use the tr1
unordered_map to avoid the deprecation warning.

The addition of c++0x in turn causes a few problems, as the
compiler is more stringent and adds a number of new warnings. Below,
the most important issues are enumerated:

1) the use of namespaces is more strict, e.g. for isnan, and all
   headers opening the entire namespace std are now fixed.

2) another other issue caused by the more stringent compiler is the
   narrowing of the embedded python, which used to be a char array,
   and is now unsigned char since there were values larger than 128.

3) a particularly odd issue that arose with the new c++0x behaviour is
   found in range.hh, where the operator< causes gcc to complain about
   the template type parsing (the "<" is interpreted as the beginning
   of a template argument), and the problem seems to be related to the
   begin/end members introduced for the range-type iteration, which is
   a new feature in c++11.

As a minor update, this patch also fixes the build flags for the clang
debug target that used to be shared with gcc and incorrectly use
"-ggdb".

b00949d88b MEM: Enable multiple distributed generalized memories
This patch removes the assumption on having on single instance of
PhysicalMemory, and enables a distributed memory where the individual
memories in the system are each responsible for a single contiguous
address range.

All memories inherit from an AbstractMemory that encompasses the basic
behaviuor of a random access memory, and provides untimed access
methods. What was previously called PhysicalMemory is now
SimpleMemory, and a subclass of AbstractMemory. All future types of
memory controllers should inherit from AbstractMemory.

To enable e.g. the atomic CPU and RubyPort to access the now
distributed memory, the system has a wrapper class, called
PhysicalMemory that is aware of all the memories in the system and
their associated address ranges. This class thus acts as an
infinitely-fast bus and performs address decoding for these "shortcut"
accesses. Each memory can specify that it should not be part of the
global address map (used e.g. by the functional memories by some
testers). Moreover, each memory can be configured to be reported to
the OS configuration table, useful for populating ATAG structures, and
any potential ACPI tables.

Checkpointing support currently assumes that all memories have the
same size and organisation when creating and resuming from the
checkpoint. A future patch will enable a more flexible
re-organisation.

adb8621031 clang: Fix recently introduced clang compilation errors
This patch makes the code compile with clang 2.9 and 3.0 again by
making two very minor changes. Firt, it maintains a strict typing in
the forward declaration of the BaseCPUParams. Second, it adds a
FullSystemInt flag of the type unsigned int next to the boolean
FullSystem flag. The FullSystemInt variable can be used in
decode-statements (expands to switch statements) in the instruction
decoder.

9e3c8de30b MEM: Make port proxies use references rather than pointers
This patch is adding a clearer design intent to all objects that would
not be complete without a port proxy by making the proxies members
rathen than dynamically allocated. In essence, if NULL would not be a
valid value for the proxy, then we avoid using a pointer to make this
clear.

The same approach is used for the methods using these proxies, such as
loadSections, that now use references rather than pointers to better
reflect the fact that NULL would not be an acceptable value (in fact
the code would break and that is how this patch started out).

Overall the concept of "using a reference to express unconditional
composition where a NULL pointer is never valid" could be done on a
much broader scale throughout the code base, but for now it is only
done in the locations affected by the proxies.

7d4f187700 clang: Enable compiling gem5 using clang 2.9 and 3.0
This patch adds the necessary flags to the SConstruct and SConscript
files for compiling using clang 2.9 and later (on Ubuntu et al and OSX
XCode 4.2), and also cleans up a bunch of compiler warnings found by
clang. Most of the warnings are related to hidden virtual functions,
comparisons with unsigneds >= 0, and if-statements with empty
bodies. A number of mismatches between struct and class are also
fixed. clang 2.8 is not working as it has problems with class names
that occur in multiple namespaces (e.g. Statistics in
kernel_stats.hh).

clang has a bug (http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=7247) which
causes confusion between the container std::set and the function
Packet::set, and this is currently addressed by not including the
entire namespace std, but rather selecting e.g. "using std::vector" in
the appropriate places.

f85286b3de MEM: Add port proxies instead of non-structural ports
Port proxies are used to replace non-structural ports, and thus enable
all ports in the system to correspond to a structural entity. This has
the advantage of accessing memory through the normal memory subsystem
and thus allowing any constellation of distributed memories, address
maps, etc. Most accesses are done through the "system port" that is
used for loading binaries, debugging etc. For the entities that belong
to the CPU, e.g. threads and thread contexts, they wrap the CPU data
port in a port proxy.

FunctionalPort      > PortProxy
TranslatingPort     > SETranslatingPortProxy

37a437893e System: Push boot_cpu_frequency down into the subclasses that actually use it.
This parameter depends on a number of coincidences to work properly. First,
there must be an array assigned to system called "cpu" even though there's no
parameter called that. Second, the items in the "cpu" array have to have a
"clock" parameter which has a "frequency" member. This is true of the normal
CPUs, but isn't true of the memory tester CPUs. This happened to work before
because the memory tester CPUs were only used in SE mode where this parameter
was being excluded. Since everything is being pulled into a common binary,
this won't work any more. Since the boot_cpu_frequency parameter is only used
by Alpha's Linux System object (and Mips's through copy and paste), the
definition of that parameter is moved down to those objects specifically.
