64-bit vsyscall is different than 32-bit.
There are only two syscalls, time and gettimeofday.
On a real system, there is complicated code that implements these
without entering the kernel. That would be complicated to implement in m5.
Instead we just place code that calls the regular syscalls (this is how
tools such as valgrind handle this case).
This is needed for the perlbmk spec2k benchmark.
When accessing arguments for a syscall, the position of an argument depends on
the policies of the ISA, how much space preceding arguments took up, and the
"alignment" of the index for this particular argument into the number of
possible storate locations. This change adjusts getSyscallArg to take its
index parameter by reference instead of value and to adjust it to point to the
possible location of the next argument on the stack, basically just after the
current one. This way, the rules for the new argument can be applied locally
without knowing about other arguments since those have already been taken into
account implicitly.
All system calls have also been changed to reflect the new interface. In a
number of cases this made the implementation clearer since it encourages
arguments to be collected in one place in order and then used as necessary
later, as opposed to scattering them throughout the function or using them in
place in long expressions. It also discourages using getSyscallArg over and
over to retrieve the same value when a temporary would do the job.
SE. Process still keeps track of the tc's it owns, but registration occurs
with the System, this eases the way for system-wide context Ids based on
registration.
We should always refer to the specific ISA in that arch directory.
This is especially necessary if we're ever going to make it to the
point where we actually have heterogeneous systems.
The page table now stores actual page table entries. It is still a templated
class here, but this will be corrected in the near future.

Make instructions observe segment prefixes, default segment rules, segment
base addresses.
Also fix some microcode and add sib and riprel "keywords" to the x86
specialization of the microassembler.

After very carefully reading through the Linux source, I'm pretty confident I now know -exactly- how the initial stack frame is constructed, filled, and aligned.

R11 is just junk after the start of exectuion because we're "returning" from
an execve call and linux destroys the contents of rcx and r11 on system calls.

The initial stack frame for x86 is now substantially more correct. The fixes made here can be back ported to SPARC and possible the other ISAs as well. The auxiliary vector types were moved to the LiveProcess base class because they are independent of ISA. Some of the types may only apply to Linux, though, so they may have to be moved.

The stack base on my development machine starts one page below where it needs to. I don't know why it does, but I've duplicated it in m5.

The type constants should go into an architecture independent spot since they are universal to all Linux elf binaries. The right value for some of the vectors needs to be determined. Also, x86 does not store argc or argv_array_base in registers like some other architectures.

Code was assuming that all argument registers followed in order from ArgumentReg0. There is now an ArgumentReg array which is indexed to find the right index. There is a constant, NumArgumentRegs, which can be used to protect against using an invalid ArgumentReg.
