This change replaces the mkblankimage.sh script, used for creating new disk
images, with a new gem5img.py script. The new version is written in python
instead of bash, takes its parameters from command line arguments instead of
prompting for them, and finds a free loopback device dynamically instead of
hardcoding /dev/loop1. The file system used is now optionally configurable,
and the blank image is filled by a "hole" left by lseek and write instead of
literally filling it with zeroes.
The functionality of the new script is broken into subcommands "init",
"mount", "umount", "new", "partition", and "format". "init" creates a new file
of the appropriate size, partitions it, and then formats the first (and only)
new parition. "mount" attaches a new loopback device to the first parition of
the image file and mounts it to the specified mount point. "umount" unmounts
the specified mount point and identifies and cleans up the underlying loopback
device. "new", "partition", and "format" are the individual stages of "init"
but broken out so they can be run individually. That's so an image can be
reinitialized in place if needed.
Two features of the original script are being dropped. The first is the
ability to specify a source directory to copy into the new file system. The
second is the ability to specify a list of commands to run which are expected
to (but not required to) update the permissions of the files in the new fs.
Both of these seem easy enough to do manually, especially given the "mount"
and "umount" commands, that removing them would meaningfully simplify the
script without making it less useful.
I didn't realize that the perl version existed when I started this,
this version has a lot more features than the previous one since it will
sort and separate python, system, and m5 headers in separate groups, it
will remove duplicates, it will also convert c headers to stl headers
I've renamed the check_whitespace operation to check_style. You're going to
need to change your .hg/hgrc file. While you're at it, add a pre-qrefresh
hook please.
clean up the code a little bit while we're at it.
I recommend that everyone adds the pre-qrefresh hook below since it
will make qref run the style hook and not just commit/qpush
[extensions]
style = <m5 path>/util/style.py
[hooks]
pretxncommit.style = python:style.check_whitespace
pre-qrefresh.style = python:style.check_whitespace
break it up into reading one page at a time. Also, avoid redoing a aggregating a checkpoint that's
already done.

rename : util/checkpoint-aggregator.py => util/checkpoint_aggregator.py
add -n/--no-exec which doesn't execute scons, but just prints the command line
add -j0 which tries to calculate how many cpus you have
add -D/--build-dir to specify a build directory other than ./build
This patch includes the necessary regression updates to test the new ruby
configuration system. The patch includes support for multiple ruby protocols
and adds the ruby random tester. The patch removes atomic mode test for
ruby since ruby does not support atomic mode acceses. These tests can be
added back in when ruby supports atomic mode for real.

rename : tests/quick/50.memtest/test.py => tests/quick/60.rubytest/test.py
1) Move alpha-specific code out of page_table.cc:serialize().
2) Begin serializing M5_pid and unserializing it, but adding an function to do optional paramIn so that old checkpoints don't need to be fixed up.
3) Fix up alpha startup code so that the unserialized M5_pid value is properly written to DTB_IPR_ASN.
4) Fix the memory unserialize that I forgot somehow in the last changeset.
5) Add in an agg_se.py to handle aggregated checkpoints. --bench foo-bar plus positional arguments foo bar are the only changes in usage from se.py.
Note this aggregation stuff has only been tested for Alpha and nothing else, though it should take a very minimal amount of work to get it to work with another ISA.
