3886c4a8f2 syscall_emul: [patch 5/22] remove LiveProcess class and use Process instead
The EIOProcess class was removed recently and it was the only other class
which derived from Process. Since every Process invocation is also a
LiveProcess invocation, it makes sense to simplify the organization by
combining the fields from LiveProcess into Process.

ca0fd665dc mem: Update DRAM configuration names
Names of DRAM configurations were updated to reflect both
the channel and device data width.

Previous naming format was:
	<DEVICE_TYPE>_<DATA_RATE>_<CHANNEL_WIDTH>

The following nomenclature is now used:
	<DEVICE_TYPE>_<DATA_RATE>_<n>x<w>
where n = The number of devices per rank on the channel
      x = Device width

Total channel width can be calculated by n*w

Example:
A 64-bit DDR4, 2400 channel consisting of 4-bit devices:
	n = 16
	w = 4
The resulting configuration name is:
	DDR4_2400_16x4

Updated scripts to match new naming convention.

Added unique configurations for DDR4 for:
1) 16x4
2) 8x8
3) 4x16

e9311a59ed riscv: Remove ECALL tests from insttest
The system calls tested in rv64i.cpp in RISC-V's insttest suite have
different behavior depending on the operating system and file system they
are run on. This patch ignores the output of those tests and only
ensures that the instructions in RV64I complete successfully.

[Change deletion of ECALL test to block comment.]
[Restore ECALL test but remove test output to test only for completion
without error.]
[Update patch description and again try to push EMPTY files for rv64i
tests.]

2974dc7a37 python: Move native wrappers to the _m5 namespace
Swig wrappers for native objects currently share the _m5.internal name
space with Python code. This is undesirable if we ever want to switch
from Swig to some other framework for native binding (e.g., PyBind11
or Boost::Python). This changeset moves all of such wrappers to the
_m5 namespace, which is now reserved for native code.

33683bd087 riscv: [Patch 8/5] Added some regression tests to RISC-V
This patch is the eighth patch in a series adding RISC-V to gem5, and
third of the bonus patches to the original series of five. It adds some
regression tests to RISC-V.

Regression tests included:
- se/00.hello
- se/02.insttest (split into several binaries which are not included due
  to large size)

The tests added to 00.insttest will need to be build manually; to
facilitate this, a Makefile is included. The required toolchain and
compiler (riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc) can be built from the riscv-tools
GitHub repository at https://github.com/riscv/riscv-tools.

Note that because EBREAK only makes sense when gdb is running or while in
FS mode, it is not included in the linux-rv64i insttest. ERET is not
included because it does not make sense in SE mode and, in fact, causes
a panic by design.

Note also that not every system call is tested in linux-rv64i; of the ones
defined in linux/process.hh, some have been given numbers but not
definitions for the toolchain, or are merely stubs that always return 0. Of
the ones that do work properly, only a subset are tested due to similar
functionality.

4cf7f6c4ca tests, ruby: Move rubytests from ALPHA (linux) to NULL (none)
This patch avoids compiling ALPHA six times as part of running
'util/regress', and instead relis on NULL with different protocols to
run the rubytest. All we need is the memory system, so there is really
no need to compile the ISA over and over again.

The one downside is the removal of running 'hello' for the variuos
ALPHA and protocol combinations, but if this is a concern we should
rather beef up the synthetic tests for the variuos protocols.

2f5262eb67 config: Make configs/common a Python package
Continue along the same line as the recent patch that made the
Ruby-related config scripts Python packages and make also the
configs/common directory a package.

All affected config scripts are updated (hopefully).

Note that this change makes it apparent that the current organisation
and naming of the config directory and its subdirectories is rather
chaotic. We mix scripts that are directly invoked with scripts that
merely contain convenience functions. While it is not addressed in
this patch we should follow up with a re-organisation of the
config structure, and renaming of some of the packages.

68fdccb30b ruby: Fix regressions and make Ruby configs Python packages
This patch moves the addition of network options into the Ruby module
to avoid the regressions all having to add it explicitly. Doing this
exposes an issue in our current config system though, namely the fact
that addtoPath is relative to the Python script being executed. Since
both example and regression scripts use the Ruby module we would end
up with two different (relative) paths being added. Instead we take a
first step at turning the config modules into Python packages, simply
by adding a __init__.py in the configs/ruby, configs/topologies and
configs/network subdirectories.

As a result, we can now add the top-level configs directory to the
Python search path, and then use the package names in the various
modules. The example scripts are also updated, and the messy
path-deducing variations in the scripts are unified.

1ecc3628a8 tests: Add support for functional only tests
Modify the ClassicTest class to only emit a stat verification test
unit if there is a reference stat file. This makes it possible to
design tests that don't care about stat changes.

To generate purely functional tests, we need to be able to create
empty test reference directories. This does not work well with many
revision control systems. As a workaround, add a file named EMPTY to
the list of ignored files in the test harness. This file can be used
as a placeholder in otherwise empty test directories.

dd0f54fed6 tests: Add a test command to get test status as an exit code
Add a "test" command to tests.py that queries a test pickle file and
returns different exit codes depending on the outcome of the tests in
the file. The following exit codes can currently be returned:

  * 0: All tests were successful or skipped.

  * 1: General fault in the script such as incorrect parameters or
    failing to parse a pickle file.

  * 2: At least one test failed to run. This is what the summary
    formatter usually shows as a 'FAILED'.

  * 3: All tests ran correctly, but at least one failed to verify
    its output. When displaying test output using the summary
    formatter, such a test would show up as 'CHANGED'.

The command can be invoked like this:

./tests/tests.py test `find build/ARM/tests/opt/ -name status.pickle`

44e9b81f74 scons: Use the new test framework from scons
Rewrite the SCons script responsible for launching tests to use the
new test framework. The biggest visible change after this changeset is
that SCons no longer produces a "status" file in test build
directories. Instead, it creates a status.pickle file. That file can
be inspected using the new tests.py script. Another visible change is
that timed out tests are now reported as failed rather than a using a
separate summary message.

Since the pickle file will remain in the build directory after running
tests, it's now possible to convert the test results into other
formats. For example:

./tests/tests.py show --format junit -o junit.xml \
    `find build/ -name status.pickle`

To better facilitate running outside of scons, there is now a set of
targets that generate test listings that can be used by the test
script. There are currently three targets, quick.list, long.list, and
all.list. For example:

scons build/ARM/tests/opt/all.list
for F in `cat build/ARM/tests/opt/all.list`; do
    ./tests/tests.py run build/ARM/gem5.opt $F
done

add the snoop filter only when there are caches added to the system
(with the caches / l2cache options).

The underlying problem is that the snoop filter grows without
bounds (for now) if there are no caches to tell it that lines have
been evicted. This causes slow regression runs for all the atomic
regressions. This patch fixes this behaviour.

f385adc8af tests: Add test infrastructure as a Python module
Implement gem5's test infrastructure as a Python module and a run
script that can be used without scons. The new implementation has
several features that were lacking from the previous test
infrastructure such as support for multiple output formats, automatic
runtime tracking, and better support for being run in a cluster
environment.

Tests consist of one or more steps (TestUnit). Units are run in two
stages, the first a run stage and then a verify stage. Units in the
verify stage are automatically skipped if any unit run stage wasn't
run. The library currently contains TestUnit implementations that run
gem5, diff stat files, and diff output files.

Existing tests are implemented by the ClassicTest class and "just
work". New tests can that don't rely on the old "run gem5 once and
diff output" strategy can be implemented by subclassing the Test base
class or ClassicTest.

Test results can be output in multiple formats. The module currently
supports JUnit, text (short and verbose), and Python's pickle
format. JUnit output allows CI systems to automatically get more
information about test failures. The pickled output contains all state
necessary to reconstruct a tests results object and is mainly intended
for the build system and CI systems.

Since many JUnit parsers parsers assume that test suite names look
like Java package names. We currently output path-like names with
slashes separating components. Test names are translated according to
these rules:

  * '.' -> '-"
  * '/' -> '.'

The test tool, tests.py, supports the following features:

  * Test listing. Example: ./tests.py list arm/quick

  * Running tests. Example:
    ./tests.py run -o output.pickle --format pickle \
        ../build/ARM/gem5.opt \
        quick/se/00.hello/arm/linux/simple-timing

  * Displaying pickled results. Example:
    ./tests.py show --format summary *.pickle
