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).

aed8050824 ARM: Fix issue with predicted next pc being wrong because of advance() ordering.
npc in PCState for ARM was being calculated before the current flags were
updated with the next flags. This causes an issue as the npc is incremented by
two or four depending on the current flags (thumb or not) and was leading to
branches that were predicted correctly being identified as mispredicted.

c80cd4136e mem: Delay deleting of incoming packets by one call.
This patch is a temporary fix until Andreas' four-phase patches
get reviewed and committed. Removing FastAlloc seems to have exposed
an issue which previously was reasonable rare in which packets are freed
before the sending cache is done with them. This change puts incoming packets
no a pendingDelete queue which are deleted at the start of the next call and
thus breaks the dependency between when the caller returns true and when the
packet is actually used by the sending cache.

Running valgrind on a multi-core linux boot and the memtester results in no
valgrind warnings.

35fa5074aa X86: Ensure that the CPUID instruction always writes its outputs.
The CPUID instruction was implemented so that it would only write its results
if the instruction was successful. This works fine on the simple CPU where
unwritten registers retain their old values, but on a CPU like O3 with
renaming this is broken. The instruction needs to write the old values back
into the registers explicitly if they aren't being changed.

7b73c36f5d X86: Ensure that the decoder's internal ExtMachInst is completely initialized.
There are some bits of some fields of the ExtMachInst which are not actually
used for anything but are included in the hash of an ExtMachInst for
simplicity and efficiency. This change makes sure the decoder's internal
working ExtMachInst is completely initialized, even these unused bits, so that
there isn't any nondeterministic behavior, no valgrind messages about
uninitialized variables, and no potential false misses/redundant entries in
the decode cache.

0d32940711 Bus: Split the bus into a non-coherent and coherent bus
This patch introduces a class hierarchy of buses, a non-coherent one,
and a coherent one, splitting the existing bus functionality. By doing
so it also enables further specialisation of the two types of buses.

A non-coherent bus connects a number of non-snooping masters and
slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the
address. The request packets issued by the master connected to a
non-coherent bus could still snoop in caches attached to a coherent
bus, as is the case with the I/O bus and memory bus in most system
configurations. No snoops will, however, reach any master on the
non-coherent bus itself. The non-coherent bus can be used as a
template for modelling PCI, PCIe, and non-coherent AMBA and OCP buses,
and is typically used for the I/O buses.

A coherent bus connects a number of (potentially) snooping masters and
slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the
address, and also forwards all requests to the snoopers and deals with
the snoop responses. The coherent bus can be used as a template for
modelling QPI, HyperTransport, ACE and coherent OCP buses, and is
typically used for the L1-to-L2 buses and as the main system
interconnect.

The configuration scripts are updated to use a NoncoherentBus for all
peripheral and I/O buses.

A bit of minor tidying up has also been done.

b8cf48accc Bus: Remove redundant packet parameter from isOccupied

5880fbe96d Bus: Turn the PortId into a transport function parameter
The main aim of this patch is to arrive at a suitable port interface
for vector ports, including both the packet and the port id. This
patch changes the bus transport functions
(recvFunctional/Atomic/Timing) to require a PortId parameter
indicating the source port. Previously this information was passed by
setting the source field of the packet, and this is only required in
the case of a timing request.

With this patch, the use of the source and destination field is also
more restrictive, as they are only needed for timing accesses. The
modifications to these fields for atomic snoops is now removed
entirely, also making minor modifications to the cache.

cad802761a Packet: Unify the use of PortID in packet and port
This patch removes the Packet::NodeID typedef and unifies it with the
Port::PortId. The src and dest fields in the packet are used to hold a
port id (e.g. in the bus), and thus the two should actually be the
same.

The typedef PortID is now global (in base/types.hh) and aligned with
the ThreadID in terms of capitalisation and naming of the
InvalidPortID constant.

Before this patch, two flags were used for valid destination and
source, rather than relying on a named value (InvalidPortID), and
this is now redundant, as the src and dest field themselves are
sufficient to tell whether the current value is a valid port
identifier or not. Consequently, the VALID_SRC and VALID_DST are
removed.

As part of the cleaning up, a number of int parameters and local
variables are updated to use PortID.

Note that Ruby still has its own NodeID typedef. Furthermore, the
MemObject getMaster/SlavePort still has an int idx parameter with a
default value of -1 which should eventually change to PortID idx =
InvalidPortID.

3b367db42c Bridge: Split deferred request, response and sender state
This patch splits the PacketBuffer class into a RequestState and a
DeferredRequest and DeferredResponse. Only the requests need a
SenderState, and the deferred requests and responses only need an
associated point in time for the request and the response queue.

Besides the cleaning up, the goal is to simplify the transition to a
new port handshake, and with these changes, the two packet queues are
starting to look very similar to the generic packet queue, but
currently they do a few unique things relating to the NACK and
counting of requests/responses that the packet queue cannot be
conveniently used. This will be addressed in a later patch.

1d96135087 X86: Truncate addresses to 32 bits except in 64 bit mode, not long mode.
A small change was added a while ago to keep addresses from overflowing 32
bits when larger addresses shouldn't be accessible to software. That change
truncated when not in long mode, but really it should have truncated when not
in 64 bit mode. The difference is whether compatibility mode is included, a
mode that's supposed to act like a legacy 32 bit mode.
