2e47aaabc0 Add hook to call map() on Process from python.
This enables configuration scripts to set up mappings
from process virtual addresses to specific physical
addresses in SE mode.  This feature is needed to
support modeling of user-accessible memories or
devices in SE mode, avoiding the complexities of FS
mode and the need to write a device driver.

86d6b788f6 ruby: banked cache array resource model
This patch models a cache as separate tag and data arrays.  The patch exposes
the banked array as another resource that is checked by SLICC before a
transition is allowed to execute.  This is similar to how TBE entries and slots
in output ports are modeled.

467093ebf2 ruby: tag and data cache access support
Updates to Ruby to support statistics counting of cache accesses.  This feature
serves multiple purposes beyond simple stats collection.  It provides the
foundation for ruby to model the cache tag and data arrays as physical
resources, as well as provide the necessary input data for McPAT power
modeling.

11b725c19d ruby: changes how Topologies are created
Instead of just passing a list of controllers to the makeTopology function
in src/mem/ruby/network/topologies/<Topo>.py we pass in a function pointer
which knows how to make the topology, possibly with some extra state set
in the configs/ruby/<protocol>.py file. Thus, we can move all of the files
from network/topologies to configs/topologies. A new class BaseTopology
is added which all topologies in configs/topologies must inheirit from and
follow its API.

745274cbd4 EventManager: Rename queue accessor and remove cast operator
This patch renames the queue() accessor to the less ambigious
eventQueue, and also removes the cast operator. The queue() member
function cause problems in derived classes that declare members with
the same name, e.g. a MemObject subclass that has a packet queue on
its own. The operator is not causing any harm at this point, but as it
is not used there is little point in keeping it.

67e257f442 Port: Hide the queue implementation in SimpleTimingPort
This patch makes the queue implementation in the SimpleTimingPort
private to avoid confusion with the protected member queue in the
QueuedSlavePort. The SimpleTimingPort provides the queue_impl to the
QueuedSlavePort and it can be accessed via the reference in the base
class. The use of the member name queue is thus no longer overloaded.

fda338f8d3 Stats: Updates due to bus changes
This patch bumps all the stats to reflect the bus changes, i.e. the
introduction of the state variable, the division into a request and
response layer, and the new default bus width of 8 bytes.

b265d9925c Port: Align port names in C++ and Python
This patch is a first step to align the port names used in the Python
world and the C++ world. Ultimately it serves to make the use of
config.json together with output from the simulation easier, including
post-processing of statistics.

Most notably, the CPU, cache, and bus is addressed in this patch, and
there might be other ports that should be updated accordingly. The
dash name separator has also been replaced with a "." which is what is
used to concatenate the names in python, and a separation is made
between the master and slave port in the bus.

1c2ee987f3 Bus: Make the default bus width 8 bytes instead of 64
This patch changes the default bus width to a more sensible 8 bytes
(64 bits), which is in line with most on-chip buses. Although there
are cases where a wider or narrower bus is useful, the 8 bytes is a
good compromise to serve as the default.

This patch changes essentially all statistics, and will be bundled
with the outstanding changes to the bus.

8caaac048a Bus: Split the bus into separate request/response layers
This patch splits the existing buses into multiple layers. The
non-coherent bus is split into a request and a response layer, and the
coherent bus adds an additional layer for the snoop responses. The
layer is modified to be templatised on the port type, such that the
different layers can have retryLists with either master or slave
ports. This patch also removes the dynamic cast from the retry, as
previously promised when moving the recvRetry from the port base class
to the master/slave port respectively.

Overall, the split bus more closely reflects any modern on-chip bus
and should be at step in the right direction. From this point, it
would be reasonable straight forward to add separate layers (and thus
contention points and arbitration) for each port and thus create a
true crossbar.

The regressions all produce the correct output, but have varying
degrees of changes to their statistics. A separate patch will be
pushed with the updates to the reference statistics.

995e6e4670 Bus: Add a notion of layers to the buses
This patch moves all flow control, arbitration and state information
into a bus layer. The layer is thus responsible for all the state
transitions, and for keeping hold of the retry list. Consequently the
layer is also responsible for the draining.

With this change, the non-coherent and coherent bus are given a single
layer to avoid changing any temporal behaviour, but the patch opens up
for adding more layers.

14f9c77dd3 Bus: Replace tickNextIdle and inRetry with a state variable
This patch adds a state enum and member variable in the bus, tracking
the bus state, thus eliminating the need for tickNextIdle and inRetry,
and fixing an issue that allowed the bus to be occupied by multiple
packets at once (hopefully it also makes it easier to understand the
code).

The bus, in its current form, uses tickNextIdle and inRetry to keep
track of the state of the bus. However, it only updates tickNextIdle
_after_ forwarding a packet using sendTiming, and the result is that
the bus is still seen as idle, and a module that receives the packet
and starts transmitting new packets in zero time will still see the
bus as idle (and this is done by a number of DMA devices). The issue
can also be seen in isOccupied where the bus calls reschedule on an
event instead of schedule.

This patch addresses the problem by marking the bus as _not_ idle
already by the time we conclude that the bus is not occupied and we
will deal with the packet.

As a result of not allowing multiple packets to occupy the bus, some
regressions have slight changes in their statistics. A separate patch
updates these accordingly.

Further ahead, a follow-on patch will introduce a separate state
variable for request/responses/snoop responses, and thus implement a
split request/response bus with separate flow control for the
different message types (even further ahead it will introduce a
multi-layer bus).

46d9adb68c Port: Make getAddrRanges const
This patch makes getAddrRanges const throughout the code base. There
is no reason why it should not be, and making it const prevents adding
any unintentional side-effects.

830391cad9 Port: Add getAddrRanges to master port (asking slave port)
This patch adds getAddrRanges to the master port, and thus avoids
going through getSlavePort to be able to ask the slave. Similar to the
previous patch that added isSnooping to the SlavePort, this patch aims
to introduce an additional level of hierarchy in the ports (base port
being protocol-agnostic) and getSlave/MasterPort will return port
pointers to these base classes.

The function is named getAddrRanges also on the master port, but does
nothing besides asking the connected slave port. The slave port, as
before, has to provide an implementation and actually produce a list
of address ranges. The initial design used the name getSlaveAddrRanges
for the new function, but the more verbose name was later changed.

49407d76aa Port: Add isSnooping to slave port (asking master port)
This patch adds isSnooping to the slave port, and thus avoids going
through getMasterPort to be able to ask the master. Over the course of
the next few patches, all getMasterPort/getSlavePort in Port and
MemObject are to be protocol agnostic, and the snooping is part of the
protocol layer.

The function is already present on the master port, where it is
implemented by the module itself, e.g. a cache. On the slave side, it
is merely asking the connected master port. The same name is used by
both functions despite their difference in behaviour. The initial
design used isMasterSnooping on the slave port side, but the more
verbose function name was later changed.

17f9270dad Port: Move retry from port base class to Master/SlavePort
This patch is the last part of moving all protocol-related
functionality out of the Port base class. All the send/recv functions
are already moved, and the retry (which still governs all the timing
transport functions) is the only part that remained in the base class.

The only point where this currently causes a bit of inconvenience is
in the bus where the retry list is global and holds Port pointers (not
Master/SlavePort). This is about to change with the split into a
request/response bus and will soon be removed anyway.

The patch has no impact on any regressions.

ff5718f042 Fix: Address a few benign memory leaks
This patch is the result of static analysis identifying a number of
memory leaks. The leaks are all benign as they are a result of not
deallocating memory in the desctructor. The fix still has value as it
removes false positives in the static analysis.

d2ebade5a5 Cache: Fix the LRU policy for classic memory hierarchy
The LRU policy always evicted the least recently touched way, even if it
contained valid data and another way was invalid, as can happen if a block has
been invalidated by coherance.  This can result in caches never warming up even
though they are replacing blocks.  This modifies the LRU policy to move blocks
to LRU position on invalidation.

579047c76d Mem: Fix a livelock resulting in LLSC/locked memory access implementation.
Currently when multiple CPUs perform a load-linked/store-conditional sequence,
the loads all create a list of reservations which is then scanned when the
stores occur.  A reservation matching the context and address of the store is
sought, BUT all reservations matching the address are also erased at this point.

The upshot is that a store-conditional will remove all reservations even if the
store itself does not succeed.  A livelock was observed using 7-8 CPUs where a
thread would erase the reservations of other threads, not succeed, loop and put
its own reservation in again only to have it blown by another thread that
unsuccessfully now tries to store-conditional -- no forward progress was made,
hanging the system.

The correct way to do this is to only blow a reservation when a store
(conditional or not) actually /occurs/ to its address.  One thread always wins
(the one that does the store-conditional first).

npc in PCState for ARM was being calculated before the current flags were
