Distributed gem5 is the result of the convergence effort between
multi-gem5 and pd-gem5. It relies on the base multi-gem5 infrastructure
for packet forwarding, synchronisation and checkpointing but combines
those with the elaborated network switch model from pd-gem5.
The m5ops assembly library contains a lot of repetitive code. This
changeset adds two macros, FOREACH_M5OP and FOREACH_M5_ANNOTATION, to
m5ops.h that simplify architecture-specific implementations. The ARM
and ARMv8 m5op implementations have been updated to use the new
macros.

The old style guide used to mandate 78 characters as the maximum line
length to accommodate traditional diffs on 80-column terminals. This
is an uncommon use case and it has therefore been decided (see email
thread on gem5-dev [1]) that a maximum length of 79-characters makes
more sense.

The current style checker script, hgstyle.py, assumes that it is being
run from Mercurial. This means that it depends on the Mercurial Python
libraries, which aren't necessarily present if using git. This
changeset adds a new style checker script, style.py, that has
been designed to be run from the command line.
The script has support for detecting which revision control system is
used and is able to query both git and Mercurial for changes. This
enables the script to operate on modified regions and/or all of the
modified files in the repository.

This patch adds a config script that broadly replicates the behaviour
of lat_mem_rd. The test is based on traffic generators, and as such we
simply randomise addresses in increasingly large ranges, and play them
back using the trace functionality of the traffic generator.
The test script is accompanied by a post-processing and visualisation
script. At the moment no configurability is added to tweak the memory
hierarchy, but a follow on patch could easily extend the
functionality.
Bug fix for check on protobuf file frequency being different than
global frequency.
The ASCII encoder script is also fixed, and the example trace used in
the regressions is updated.
Added a new Verifier object to check for and fix spacing
between if/while/for and following paren.
Restructured Verifier class to make it easier to add
new subclasses, particularly by using a global list of
verifiers to auto-generate command line options and
simplify the invocation loop.
The functions in these scripts were apparently folded into style.py but the
old scripts were orphaned without being deleted. Get rid of them so their
existence is no longer confusing.

Previous ARM-based simulations were limited to 8 cores due to
limitations in GICv2 and earlier. This changeset adds a set of
gem5-specific extensions that enable support for up to 256 cores.
When the gem5 extensions are enabled, the GIC uses CPU IDs instead of
a CPU bitmask in the GIC's register interface. To OS can enable the
extensions by setting bit 0x200 in ICDICTR.
This changeset is based on previous work by Matt Evans.
This patch adds support to optionally capture the virtual address and asid
for load/store instructions in the elastic traces. If they are present in
the traces, Trace CPU will set those fields of the request during replay.
This patch replaces the booleans that specified the elastic trace record
type with an enum type. The source of change is the proto message for
elastic trace where the enum is introduced. The struct definitions in the
elastic trace probe listener as well as the Trace CPU replace the boleans
with the proto message enum.
The patch does not impact functionality, but traces are not compatible with
previous version. This is preparation for adding new types of records in
subsequent patches.
With clang there are systems without gcc being installed anymore and we should
not rely on that. This patch drops CC so that system's default compiler is
invoked.

Due to changes in Drain Manager, the lastest systemc coupling doesn't work. The
code for handling Checkpoint has been modified and it is now compatiable with
new drain manager.
Testing is being done on systemC coupling. It needs more testing to verify
checkpointing feature.

The DTRACE() macro tests both Trace::enabled and the specific flag. This
change uses the same administrative interface for enabling/disabling
tracing, but masks the SimpleFlags settings directly. This eliminates a
load for every DTRACE() test, e.g. DPRINTF.
If the terminal was used in the SystemC or TLM simulations the simulation gets
in a deadlock state. This is because of the Event queue gets locked while
servicing the async events leading to event queue deadlock. This was solved by
locking the queue at the beginning of service of async events.

Rewrite the HDLCD controller to use the new DMA engine and pixel
pump. This fixes several bugs in the current implementation:
* Broken/missing interrupt support (VSync, underrun, DMA end)
* Fragile resolution changes (changing resolutions used
to cause assertion errors).
* Support for resolutions with a width that isn't divisible by 32.
* The pixel clock can now be set dynamically.
This breaks checkpoint compatibility. Checkpoints can be upgraded with
the checkpoint conversion script. However, upgraded checkpoints won't
contain the state of the current frame. That means that HDLCD
controllers restoring from a converted checkpoint immediately start
drawing a new frame (i.e, expect timing differences).
This commit addresses gem5 checkpoints' linear versioning bottleneck.
Since development is distributed across many private trees, there exists
a sort of 'race' for checkpoint version numbers: internally a checkpoint
version may be used but then resynchronizing with the external tree causes
a conflict on that version. This change replaces the linear version number
with a set of unique strings called tags. Now the only conflicts that can
arise are of tag names, where collisions are much easier to avoid.
The checkpoint upgrader (util/cpt_upgrader.py) upgrades the version
representation, as one would expect. Each tag version implements its
upgrader code in a python file in the util/cpt_upgraders directory
rather than adding a function to the upgrader script itself.
The version tags are stored in the 'Globals' section rather than 'root'
(as the version was previously) because 'Globals' gets unserialized
first and can provide a warning before any other unserialization errors
can occur.
This patch enhances the functionality of the DRAM sweep script to not
only plot the bandwidth utilisation, but also total power and power
efficiency. To do so, a command-line switch is added, and a bit more
data extracted from the stats.
Transaction Level Modeling (TLM2.0) is widely used in industry for creating
virtual platforms (IEEE 1666 SystemC). This patch contains a standard compliant
implementation of an external gem5 port, that enables the usage of gem5 as a
TLM initiator component in SystemC based virtual platforms. Both TLM coding
paradigms loosely timed (b_transport) and aproximately timed (nb_transport) are
supported.
Compared to the original patch a TLM memory manager was added. Furthermore, the
transaction object was removed and for each TLM payload a PacketPointer that
points to the original gem5 packet is added as an TLM extension. For event
handling single events are now created.
