41b39b22cd mem: Tidy up packet
Some minor fixes and removal of dead code. Changing the flags to be
enums rather than static const (to avoid any linking issues caused by
the latter). Also adding a getBlockAddr member which hopefully can
slowly finds its way into caches, snoop filters etc.

608641e23c cpu: implements vector registers
This adds a vector register type.  The type is defined as a std::array of a
fixed number of uint64_ts.  The isa_parser.py has been modified to parse vector
register operands and generate the required code.  Different cpus have vector
register files now.

d5a7f09eb1 syscall_emul: standardized file descriptor name and add return checks.
The patch clarifies whether file descriptors are host file descriptors or
target file descriptors in the system call code.  (Host file descriptors
are file descriptors which have been allocated through real system calls
where target file descriptors are allocated from an array in the Process
class.)

b90711ea53 base: refactor process class (specifically FdMap and friends)
This patch extends the previous patch's alterations around fd_map.  It cleans
up some of the uglier code in the process file and replaces it with a more
concise C++11 version.  As part of the changes, the FdMap class is pulled out
of the Process class and receives its own file.

ef08046af4 syscall_emul: file descriptor interface changes
This patch gets rid of unused Process::dup_fd method and does minor
refactoring in the process class files.  The file descriptor max has been
changed to be the number of file descriptors since this clarifies the loop
boundary condition and cleans up the code a bit.  The fd_map field has been
altered to be dynamically allocated as opposed to being an array; the
intention here is to build on this is subsequent patches to allow processes
to share their file descriptors with the clone system call.

fc5bf6713f dev: add support for multi gem5 runs
Multi gem5 is an extension to gem5 to enable parallel simulation of a
distributed system (e.g. simulation of a pool of machines
connected by Ethernet links). A multi gem5 run consists of seperate gem5
processes running in parallel (potentially on different hosts/slots on
a cluster). Each gem5 process executes the simulation of a component of the
simulated distributed system (e.g. a multi-core board with an Ethernet NIC).

The patch implements the "distributed" Ethernet link device
(dev/src/multi_etherlink.[hh.cc]). This device will send/receive
(simulated) Ethernet packets to/from peer gem5 processes. The interface
to talk to the peer gem5 processes is defined in dev/src/multi_iface.hh and
in tcp_iface.hh.

There is also a central message server process (util/multi/tcp_server.[hh,cc])
which acts like an Ethernet switch and transfers messages among the gem5 peers.

A multi gem5 simulations can be kicked off by the util/multi/gem5-multi.sh
wrapper script.

Checkpoints are supported by multi-gem5. The checkpoint must be
initiated by a single gem5 process. E.g., the gem5 process with rank 0
can take a checkpoint from the bootscript just before it invokes
'mpirun' to launch an MPI test. The message server process will notify
all the other peer gem5 processes and make them take a checkpoint, too
(after completing a global synchronisation to ensure that there are no
inflight messages among gem5).

bfe7ee96ad ruby: replace global g_abs_controls with per-RubySystem var
This is another step in the process of removing global variables
from Ruby to enable multiple RubySystem instances in a single simulation.

The list of abstract controllers is per-RubySystem and should be
represented that way, rather than as a global.

Since this is the last remaining Ruby global variable, the
src/mem/ruby/Common/Global.* files are also removed.

f9a370f172 ruby: replace global g_system_ptr with per-object pointers
This is another step in the process of removing global variables
from Ruby to enable multiple RubySystem instances in a single simulation.

With possibly multiple RubySystem objects, we can no longer use a global
variable to find "the" RubySystem object.  Instead, each Ruby component
has to carry a pointer to the RubySystem object to which it belongs.

c38f5098b1 ruby: replace g_ruby_start with per-RubySystem m_start_cycle
This patch begins the process of removing global variables from the Ruby
source with the goal of eventually allowing users to create multiple Ruby
instances in a single simulation.  Currently, users cannot do so because
several global variables and static members are referenced by the RubySystem
object in a way that assumes that there will only ever be a single RubySystem.
These need to be replaced with per-RubySystem equivalents.

This specific patch replaces the global var g_ruby_start, which is used
to calculate throughput statistics for Throttles in simple networks and
links in Garnet networks, with a RubySystem instance var m_start_cycle.

a0cbf55411 stats: Update pc-switcheroo stats

ed38e3432c sim: Refactor and simplify the drain API
The drain() call currently passes around a DrainManager pointer, which
is now completely pointless since there is only ever one global
DrainManager in the system. It also contains vestiges from the time
when SimObjects had to keep track of their child objects that needed
draining.

This changeset moves all of the DrainState handling to the Drainable
base class and changes the drain() and drainResume() calls to reflect
this. Particularly, the drain() call has been updated to take no
parameters (the DrainManager argument isn't needed) and return a
DrainState instead of an unsigned integer (there is no point returning
anything other than 0 or 1 any more). Drainable objects should return
either DrainState::Draining (equivalent to returning 1 in the old
system) if they need more time to drain or DrainState::Drained
(equivalent to returning 0 in the old system) if they are already in a
consistent state. Returning DrainState::Running is considered an
error.

Drain done signalling is now done through the signalDrainDone() method
in the Drainable class instead of using the DrainManager directly. The
new call checks if the state of the object is DrainState::Draining
before notifying the drain manager. This means that it is safe to call
signalDrainDone() without first checking if the simulator has
requested draining. The intention here is to reduce the code needed to
implement draining in simple objects.

f16c0a4a90 sim: Decouple draining from the SimObject hierarchy
Draining is currently done by traversing the SimObject graph and
calling drain()/drainResume() on the SimObjects. This is not ideal
when non-SimObjects (e.g., ports) need draining since this means that
SimObjects owning those objects need to be aware of this.

This changeset moves the responsibility for finding objects that need
draining from SimObjects and the Python-side of the simulator to the
DrainManager. The DrainManager now maintains a set of all objects that
need draining. To reduce the overhead in classes owning non-SimObjects
that need draining, objects inheriting from Drainable now
automatically register with the DrainManager. If such an object is
destroyed, it is automatically unregistered. This means that drain()
and drainResume() should never be called directly on a Drainable
object.

While implementing the new functionality, the DrainManager has now
been made thread safe. In practice, this means that it takes a lock
whenever it manipulates the set of Drainable objects since SimObjects
in different threads may create Drainable objects
dynamically. Similarly, the drain counter is now an atomic_uint, which
ensures that it is manipulated correctly when objects signal that they
are done draining.

A nice side effect of these changes is that it makes the drain state
changes stricter, which the simulation scripts can exploit to avoid
redundant drains.

d5f5fbb855 sim: Move mem(Writeback|Invalidate) to SimObject
The memWriteback() and memInvalidate() calls used to live in the
Serializable interface. In this series of patches, the Serializable
interface will be redesigned to make serialization independent of the
object graph and always work on the entire simulator. This means that
the Serialization interface won't be useful to perform maintenance of
the caches in a sub-graph of the entire SimObject graph. This
changeset moves these memory maintenance methods to the SimObject
interface instead.

e9c3d59aae sim: Make the drain state a global typed enum
The drain state enum is currently a part of the Drainable
interface. The same state machine will be used by the DrainManager to
identify the global state of the simulator. Make the drain state a
global typed enum to better cater for this usage scenario.

1dc5e63b88 python: Remove redundant drain when changing memory modes
When the Python helper code switches CPU models, it sometimes also
needs to change the memory mode of the simulator. When this happens,
it accidentally tried to drain the simulator despite having done so
already. This changeset removes the redundant drain.

Serialize pixels as unsigned 32 bit integers by adding the required
to_number() and stream operators. This is used by the FrameBuffer,

buffers are expected to serialize it into its own section by calling
serializeSection().

888ec455cb sim: Fix broken event unserialization
Events expected to be unserialized using an event-specific
unserializeEvent call. This call was never actually used, which meant
the events relying on it never got unserialized (or scheduled after
unserialization).

Instead of relying on a custom call, we now use the normal
serialization code again. In order to schedule the event correctly,
the parrent object is expected to use the
EventQueue::checkpointReschedule() call. This happens automatically
for events that are serialized using the AutoSerialize mechanism.

76cd4393c0 sim: Refactor the serialization base class
Objects that are can be serialized are supposed to inherit from the
Serializable class. This class is meant to provide a unified API for
such objects. However, so far it has mainly been used by SimObjects
due to some fundamental design limitations. This changeset redesigns
to the serialization interface to make it more generic and hide the
underlying checkpoint storage. Specifically:

  * Add a set of APIs to serialize into a subsection of the current
    object. Previously, objects that needed this functionality would
    use ad-hoc solutions using nameOut() and section name
    generation. In the new world, an object that implements the
    interface has the methods serializeSection() and
    unserializeSection() that serialize into a named /subsection/ of
    the current object. Calling serialize() serializes an object into
    the current section.

  * Move the name() method from Serializable to SimObject as it is no
    longer needed for serialization. The fully qualified section name
    is generated by the main serialization code on the fly as objects
    serialize sub-objects.

  * Add a scoped ScopedCheckpointSection helper class. Some objects
    need to serialize data structures, that are not deriving from
    Serializable, into subsections. Previously, this was done using
    nameOut() and manual section name generation. To simplify this,
    this changeset introduces a ScopedCheckpointSection() helper
    class. When this class is instantiated, it adds a new /subsection/
    and subsequent serialization calls during the lifetime of this
    helper class happen inside this section (or a subsection in case
    of nested sections).

  * The serialize() call is now const which prevents accidental state
    manipulation during serialization. Objects that rely on modifying
    state can use the serializeOld() call instead. The default
    implementation simply calls serialize(). Note: The old-style calls
    need to be explicitly called using the
    serializeOld()/serializeSectionOld() style APIs. These are used by
    default when serializing SimObjects.

  * Both the input and output checkpoints now use their own named
    types. This hides underlying checkpoint implementation from
    objects that need checkpointing and makes it easier to change the
    underlying checkpoint storage code.

31f901b69d mem: Update DRAM command scheduler for bank groups
This patch updates the command arbitration so that bank group timing
as well as rank-to-rank delays will be taken into account. The
resulting arbitration no longer selects commands (prepped or not) that
cannot issue seamlessly if there are commands that can issue
back-to-back, minimizing the effect of rank-to-rank (tCS) & same bank
group (tCCD_L) delays.

The arbitration selects a new command based on the following priority.
Within each priority band, the arbitration will use FCFS to select the
appropriate command:

1) Bank is prepped and burst can issue seamlessly, without a bubble

2) Bank is not prepped, but can prep and issue seamlessly, without a
bubble

3) Bank is prepped but burst cannot issue seamlessly. In this case, a
bubble will occur on the bus

Thus, to enable more parallelism in subsequent selections, an
unprepped packet is given higher priority if the bank prep can be
hidden. If the bank prep cannot be hidden, the selection logic will
choose a prepped packet that cannot issue seamlessly if one exist.
Otherwise, the default selection will choose the packet with the
minimum bank prep delay.

b56167b682 mem: Avoid DRAM write queue iteration for merging and read lookup
This patch adds a simple lookup structure to avoid iterating over the
write queue to find read matches, and for the merging of write
bursts. Instead of relying on iteration we simply store a set of
currently-buffered write-burst addresses and compare against
these. For the reads we still perform the iteration if we have a
match. For the writes, we rely entirely on the set. Note that there
are corner-cases where sub-bursts would actually not be mergeable
without a read-modify-write. We ignore these cases and opt for speed.
