This patch adds the ability for an application to request dist-gem5 to begin/
end synchronization using an m5 op. When toggling on sync, all nodes agree
on the next sync point based on the maximum of all nodes' ticks. CPUs are
suspended until the sync point to avoid sending network messages until sync has
been enabled. Toggling off sync acts like a global execution barrier, where
all CPUs are disabled until every node reaches the toggle off point. This
avoids tricky situations such as one node hitting a toggle off followed by a
toggle on before the other nodes hit the first toggle off.
Used as a command in full-system scripts helps the user ensure the benchmarks have finished successfully.
For example, one can use:
/path/to/benchmark args || /sbin/m5 fail 1
and thus ensure gem5 will exit with an error if the benchmark fails.
Updated the util/m5/Makefile.arm so that m5op_arm.S is used to create
a static library - libm5.a. Allowing users to insert m5
psuedo-instructions into their applications for fine-grained
checkpointing, switching cpus or dumping statistics. e.g.
#include <m5op.h>
void foo(){
...
m5_reset_stats(<delay>,<period>)
m5_work_begin(<workid>,<threadid>);
...
m5_work_end(<workid>,<threadid>);
m5_dump_stats(<delay>,<period>);
}
Usage: m5 writefile <filename>
File will be created in the gem5 output folder with the identical filename.
Implementation is largely based on the existing "readfile" functionality.
Currently does not support exporting of folders.

This changeset removes a check that prevents quiescing when an
interrupt is pending. *** You should only call quiesce if that
isn't a problem. ***
arch/alpha/isa/decoder.isa:
sim/pseudo_inst.cc:
sim/pseudo_inst.hh:
Add quiesceNs, quiesceCycles, quisceTime and m5panic pseudo ops.
These quiesce for a number of ns, cycles, report how long
we were quiesced for, and panic the simulator respectively.
The latter is added to the panic() function in the console and linux
kernel instead of executing an infinite loop until someone notices.
cpu/exec_context.cc:
cpu/exec_context.hh:
Add a quiesce end event to the execution contexted which upon
executing wakes up a CPU for quiesceCycles/quiesceNs.
util/m5/Makefile:
Make the makefile more reasonable
util/m5/m5.c:
update the m5op executable to use the files from the linux tree
util/m5/m5op.S:
update m5op.S from linux tree
util/m5/m5op.h:
update m5op.h from linux tree

to tell the simulator to do something.
exit -> exit_old (deprecated
exit now takes an optional parameter that tells it to execute at a
specified time in the future
The next four functions have two optional parameters. The first
specifies a delay for how long to wait to issue the instruction.
The second will tell the simulator to repeat that command
at the specified interval.
checkpoint will trigger a checkpoint
dumpstats will cause the simulator to dump stats
resetstats will cause all stats to be reset
dumpreset will dump and reset stats
all times are in nanoseconds
util/m5/Makefile:
Clean up to make it a bit easier to muck with
util/m5/m5.c:
Add a bunch of new commands and clean up the command parsing path
Convert atoi to strtoul so that we can use 64bit numbers and even
hex if we want to. (this runs on alpha, so a long is 64bit)
util/m5/m5op.h:
add prototypes for new m5 instructions
use uint64_t since it's nicer

m5 and installed in /usr/local/bin
This command uses opcodes that are invalid on a normal system, so
don't expect it to do anything on a real system.
