Added power-down state transitions to the DRAM controller model.
Added per rank parameter, outstandingEvents, which tracks the number
of outstanding command events and is used to determine when the
controller should transition to a low power state.
The controller will only transition when there are no outstanding events
scheduled and the number of command entries for the given rank is 0.
The outstandingEvents parameter is incremented for every RD/WR burst,
PRE, and REF event scheduled. ACT is implicitly covered by RD/WR
since burst will always issue and complete after a required ACT.
The parameter is decremented when the event is serviced (completed).
The controller will automatically transition to ACT power down,
PRE power down, or SREF.
Transition to ACT power down state scheduled from:
1) The RespondEvent, where read data is received from the memory.
ACT power-down entry will be scheduled when one or more banks is
open, all commands for the rank have completed (no more commands
scheduled), and there are no commands in queue for the rank
Transition to PRE power down scheduled from:
1) respondEvent, when all banks are closed, all commands have
completed, and there are no commands in queue for the rank
2) prechargeEvent when all banks are closed, all commands have
completed, and there are no commands in queue for the rank
3) refreshEvent, after the refresh is complete when the previous
state was ACT power-down
4) refreshEvent, after the refresh is complete when the previous
state was PRE power-down and there are commands in the queue.
Transition to SREF will be scheduled from:
1) refreshEvent, after the refresh is completes when the previous
state was PRE power-down with no commands in queue
Power-down exit commands are scheduled from:
1) The refreshEvent, prior to issuing a refresh
2) doDRAMAccess, to wake-up the rank for RD/WR command issue.
Self-refresh exit commands are scheduled from:
1) The next request event, when the queue has commands for the rank
in the readQueue or there are commands for the rank in the
writeQueue and the bus state is WRITE.

The per rank statistics are periodically updated based on
state transition and refresh events.
Add a method to update these when a dump event occurs to
ensure they reflect accurate values.
Specifically, need to ensure that the low-power state
durations, power, and energy are logged correctly.

Add constraint that all ranks have to be in PWR_IDLE
before signaling drain complete
This will ensure that the banks are all closed and the rank
has exited any low-power states.
On suspend, update the power stats to sync the DRAM power logic
The logic maintains the location of the signalDrainDone
method, which is still triggered from either:
1) Read response event
2) Next request event
This ensures that the drain will complete in the READ bus
state and minimizes the changes required.

Add local variable to stores commands to be issued.
These commands are in order within a single bank but will be out
of order across banks & ranks.
A new procedure, flushCmdList, sorts commands across banks / ranks,
and flushes the sorted list, up to curTick() to DRAMPower.
This is currently called in refresh, once all previous commands are
guaranteed to have completed. Could be called in other events like
the powerEvent as well.
By only flushing commands up to curTick(), will not get out of sync
when flushed at a periodic stats dump (done in subsequent patch).

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.
The generic timer needs a pointer to an ArmSystem to wire itself to the
system register handler. This was previously specified as an instance
of System that was later cast to ArmSystem. Make this more robust by
specifying it as an ArmSystem in the Python interface and add a check
to make sure that it is non-NULL.

This patch adds port direction names to the links during topology
creation, which can be used for better printed names for the links
or for users to code up their own adaptive routing algorithms.
It also adds support for every router to have an independent latency
value to support heterogeneous topologies with the subsequent
garnet2.0 patch.
This patch makes the internal links within the network topology
unidirectional, thus allowing any deadlock-free routing algorithms to
be specified from the topology itself using weights.
This patch also renames Mesh.py and MeshDirCorners.py to
Mesh_XY.py and MeshDirCorners_XY.py (Mesh with XY routing).
It also adds a Mesh_westfirst.py and CrossbarGarnet.py topologies.
networktest is essentially a collection of synthetic traffic patterns
for the network. The protocol name and the tester having the same name
led to multiple python configuration files with the same name, adding
confusion. This patch renames networktest to garnet_synthetic_traffic,
and also adds more synthetic traffic patterns.
Over the past 6 years, we realized that the protocol is essentially used
to run the garnet network in a standalone manner, and feed standard synthetic
traffic patterns through it.
Instead of scheduling another event, this patch adds a warning in case gdb
is attached multiple times and the first attachement event has not been
processed yet.
This patch adds a method to the Wavefront class to compute the actual workgroup
size. This can be different from the maximum workgroup size specified when
launching the kernel through the NDRange object. Current solution is still not
optimal, as we are computing these for each wavefront and the dispatcher also
needs to have this information and can't actually call
Wavefront::computeActuallWgSz before the wavefronts are being created. A long
term solution would be to have a Workgroup class that deals with all these
details.
Adjust the traffic generator time-out so that the script works out of

When loading a checkpoint, it's sometimes desirable to be able to test
whether an entry within a secion exists. This is currently done
automatically in the UNSERIALIZE_OPT_SCALAR macro, but it isn't
possible to do for arrays, containers, or enums. Instead of adding
even more macros, add a helper function (CheckpointIn::entryExists())

The drain did not wait until stages were ready again. Therefore, as a
result of messages in the TimeBuffer being drain, the state after the
drain was not consistent and asserts fired in some places when the
draining happened after a stage got blocked, but before the notification
arrived to the previous stages.

This patch adds methods to serialize the context of a particular wavefront
to the simulated system memory. Context serialization is used when a wavefront
is preempeted (i.e. context switch).
std::stack has no iterators, therefore the reconvergence stack can't be
iterated without poping elements off. We will be using std::list instead to be
able to iterate for saving and restoring purposes.
WFContext struct is currently unused and it has been rendered not useful in
saving and restoring the context of a Wavefront. Wavefront class should be
sufficient for that purpose and the runtime can figure out the memory size
it will need to allocate for a Wavefront through an IOCTL.
Switcheroo and checkpoint tests should generally be considered to be
successful if they run to completion. Remove all reference output
files from the switcheroo and checkopint tests to make them purely
functional.

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.

This change subtracts the time offset present in the trace from
all the event times when nodes and request are sent so that the
replay starts immediately when the simulation starts. This makes
the stats accurate when the time offset in traces is large, for
example when traces are generated in the middle of a workload
execution. It also solves the problem of unnecessary DRAM
refresh events that would keep occuring during the large time
offset before even a single request is replayed into the system.

This patch enables timing accesses for KVM cpu. A new state,
RunningMMIOPending, is added to indicate that there are outstanding timing
requests generated by KVM in the system. KVM's tick() is disabled and the
simulation does not enter into KVM until all outstanding timing requests have
completed. The main motivation for this is to allow KVM CPU to perform MMIO
in Ruby, since Ruby does not support atomic accesses.
