This patch add support for generating wake-up events in the CPU when an address
that is currently in the exclusive state is hit by a snoop. This mechanism is required
for ARMv8 multi-processor support.
This patch unlocks the cpu-local monitor when the CPU sees a snoop to a locked
address. Previously we relied on the cache to handle the locking for us, however
some users on the gem5 mailing list reported a case where the cpu speculatively
executes a ll operation after a pending sc operation in the pipeline and that
makes the cache monitor valid. This should handle that case by invaliding the
local monitor.
and PhysicalMemory. *No* support for caches or O3CPU.
Note that properly setting cpu_id on all CPUs is now required
for correct operation.
