f85286b3de MEM: Add port proxies instead of non-structural ports
Port proxies are used to replace non-structural ports, and thus enable
all ports in the system to correspond to a structural entity. This has
the advantage of accessing memory through the normal memory subsystem
and thus allowing any constellation of distributed memories, address
maps, etc. Most accesses are done through the "system port" that is
used for loading binaries, debugging etc. For the entities that belong
to the CPU, e.g. threads and thread contexts, they wrap the CPU data
port in a port proxy.

The following replacements are made:
FunctionalPort      > PortProxy
TranslatingPort     > SETranslatingPortProxy
VirtualPort         > FSTranslatingPortProxy

a88ec980a4 Config: Add an option of type 'choice' for cpu type
This patch adds a new option for cpu type. This option is of type 'choice'
which is similar to a C++ enum, except that it takes string values as
possible choices. Following options are being removed -- detailed, timing,
inorder.

9aea847f58 VNC: Add support for capturing frame buffer to file each time it is changed.
When a change in the frame buffer from the VNC server is detected, the new
frame is stored out to the m5out/frames_*/ directory.  Specifiy the flag
"--frame-capture" when running configs/example/fs.py to enable this behavior.

1b49c56679 Scons: Drop RUBY as compile time option.
This patch drops RUBY as a compile time option. Instead the PROTOCOL option
is used to figure out whether or not to build Ruby. If the specified protocol
is 'None', then Ruby is not compiled.

c86f849d5a Ruby: Add support for functional accesses
This patch rpovides functional access support in Ruby. Currently only

functional through the PioPort will be added as a separate patch.

8a652f9871 config: tweak ruby configs to clean up hierarchy
Re-enabling implicit parenting (see previous patch) causes current
Ruby config scripts to create some strange hierarchies and generate
several warnings.  This patch makes three general changes to address
these issues.

1. The order of object creation in the ruby config files makes the L1
   caches children of the sequencer rather than the controller; these
   config ciles are rewritten to assign the L1 caches to the
   controller first.

2. The assignment of the sequencer list to system.ruby.cpu_ruby_ports
   causes the sequencers to be children of system.ruby, generating
   warnings because they are already parented to their respective
   controllers.  Changing this attribute to _cpu_ruby_ports fixes this
   because the leading underscore means this is now treated as a plain
   Python attribute rather than a child assignment. As a result, the
   configuration hierarchy changes such that, e.g.,
   system.ruby.cpu_ruby_ports0 becomes system.l1_cntrl0.sequencer.

3. In the topology classes, the routers become children of some random
   internal link node rather than direct children of the topology.
   The topology classes are rewritten to assign the routers to the
   topology object first.

1267ff5949 NetworkTest: added sim_cycles parameter to the network tester.
The network tester terminates after injecting for sim_cycles
(default=1000), instead of having to explicitly pass --maxticks from the
command line as before. If fixed_pkts is enabled, the tester only
injects maxpackets number of packets, else it keeps injecting till sim_cycles.
The tester also works with zero command line arguments now.

09c3a97a4c This patch adds the network tester for simple and garnet networks.
The tester code is in testers/networktest.
The tester can be invoked by configs/example/ruby_network_test.py.
A dummy coherence protocol called Network_test is also addded for network-only simulations and testing. The protocol takes in messages from the tester and just pushes them into the network in the appropriate vnet, without storing any state.

79dac89552 ARM: Clarifies creation of Linux and baremetal ARM systems.
makeArmSystem creates both bare-metal and Linux systems more cleanly.
machine_type was never optional though listed as an optional argument; a system
such as "RealView_PBX" must now be explicitly specified.  Now that it is a
required argument, the placement of the arguments has changed slightly
requiring some changes to calls that create ARM systems.

a368fba7d4 Time: Add a mechanism to prevent M5 from running faster than real time.
M5 skips over any simulated time where it doesn't have any work to do. When
the simulation is active, the time skipped is short and the work done at any
point in time is relatively substantial. If the time between events is long
and/or the work to do at each event is small, it's possible for simulated time
to pass faster than real time. When running a benchmark that can be good
because it means the simulation will finish sooner in real time. When
interacting with the real world through, for instance, a serial terminal or
bridge to a real network, this can be a problem. Human or network response time
could be greatly exagerated from the perspective of the simulation and make
simulated events happen "too soon" from an external perspective.

This change adds the capability to force the simulation to run no faster than
real time. It does so by scheduling a periodic event that checks to see if
its simulated period is shorter than its real period. If it is, it stalls the
simulation until they're equal. This is called time syncing.

A future change could add pseudo instructions which turn time syncing on and
off from within the simulation. That would allow time syncing to be used for
the interactive parts of a session but then turned off when running a
benchmark using the m5 utility program inside a script. Time syncing would
probably not happen anyway while running a benchmark because there would be
plenty of work for M5 to do, but the event overhead could be avoided.

29c45ccd23 ruby: Reduced ruby latencies
The previous slower ruby latencies created a mismatch between the faster M5
cpu models and the much slower ruby memory system.  Specifically smp
interrupts were much slower and infrequent, as well as cpus moving in and out
of spin locks.  The result was many cpus were idle for large periods of time.

These changes fix the latency mismatch.

1fbe466345 sim: make Python Root object a singleton
Enforce that the Python Root SimObject is instantiated only
once.  The C++ Root object already panics if more than one is
created.  This change avoids the need to track what the root
object is, since it's available from Root.getInstance() (if it
exists).  It's now redundant to have the user pass the root
object to functions like instantiate(), checkpoint(), and
restoreCheckpoint(), so that arg is gone.  Users who use
configs/common/Simulate.py should not notice.

1d3228481f cache: Make caches sharing aware and add occupancy stats.
On the config end, if a shared L2 is created for the system, it is
parameterized to have n sharers as defined by option.num_cpus. In addition to
making the cache sharing aware so that discriminating tag policies can make use
of context_ids to make decisions, I added an occupancy AverageStat and an occ %
stat to each cache so that you could know which contexts are occupying how much
cache on average, both in terms of blocks and percentage. Note that since
devices have context_id -1, having an array of occ stats that correspond to
each context_id will break here, so in FS mode I add an extra bucket for device
blocks. This bucket is explicitly not added in SE mode in order to not only
avoid ugliness in the stats.txt file, but to avoid broken stats (some formulas
break when a bucket is 0).
