ClassicTest was incorrectly ignoring stats.txt when updating reference
statistics. This was caused by ignore rules being applied too
aggressively when listing reference files. This changeset splits the
ignore rules into two different lists: 1) diff_ignore_files that lists
the files that shouldn't be diff:ed using the normal diff tool, and 2)
ref_ignore_files which lists files that should be ignored by the test
system.

Disable the default snoop filter in the SystemXBar so that the
typical membus does not have a snoop filter by default. Instead,
add the snoop filter only when there are caches added to the system
(with the caches / l2cache options).
The underlying problem is that the snoop filter grows without
bounds (for now) if there are no caches to tell it that lines have
been evicted. This causes slow regression runs for all the atomic
regressions. This patch fixes this behaviour.

Implement gem5's test infrastructure as a Python module and a run
script that can be used without scons. The new implementation has
several features that were lacking from the previous test
infrastructure such as support for multiple output formats, automatic
runtime tracking, and better support for being run in a cluster
environment.
Tests consist of one or more steps (TestUnit). Units are run in two
stages, the first a run stage and then a verify stage. Units in the
verify stage are automatically skipped if any unit run stage wasn't
run. The library currently contains TestUnit implementations that run
gem5, diff stat files, and diff output files.
Existing tests are implemented by the ClassicTest class and "just
work". New tests can that don't rely on the old "run gem5 once and
diff output" strategy can be implemented by subclassing the Test base
class or ClassicTest.
Test results can be output in multiple formats. The module currently
supports JUnit, text (short and verbose), and Python's pickle
format. JUnit output allows CI systems to automatically get more
information about test failures. The pickled output contains all state
necessary to reconstruct a tests results object and is mainly intended
for the build system and CI systems.
Since many JUnit parsers parsers assume that test suite names look
like Java package names. We currently output path-like names with
slashes separating components. Test names are translated according to
these rules:
* '.' -> '-"
* '/' -> '.'
The test tool, tests.py, supports the following features:
* Test listing. Example: ./tests.py list arm/quick
* Running tests. Example:
./tests.py run -o output.pickle --format pickle \
../build/ARM/gem5.opt \
quick/se/00.hello/arm/linux/simple-timing
* Displaying pickled results. Example:
./tests.py show --format summary *.pickle

The learning gem5 scripts currently assumes that the current working
directory is the root of gem5's source tree. This isn't necessarily
the case when running the tests using gem5's new test runner.

Remove test reference files that are not generated any more:
* chair.cook.ppm: This file should be generated by eon and not
mcf, so it shouldn't be included as an output from mcf.
* system.pc.terminal: The terminal device has been renamed so this
file is no longer generated.

Update stats to match current behaviour. As a result of the earlier
conflict check we are seeing a few prefetch requests being ignored
before being sent as upward snoops.

summary: gpu: fix bugs with MemFence, Flat Instrs and Resource utilization
Writes to locked memory addresses (LLSC) did not wake up the locking
CPU. This can lead to deadlocks on multi-core runs. In AtomicSimpleCPU,
recvAtomicSnoop was checking if the incoming packet was an invalidation
(isInvalidate) and only then handled a locked snoop. But, writes are
seen instead of invalidates when running without caches (fast-forward
configurations). As as simple fix, now handleLockedSnoop is also called
even if the incoming snoop packet are from writes.
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.
The fs/80.solaris-boot/sparc/solaris/t1000-simple-atomic test was
broken for so long that, now that it's working again, the stats
output is out of date. This changeset updates the outputs, on
the assumption that the stats changes are all valid differences
due to other changes made while it was broken.
A couple of the long regressions have been showing as CHANGED
since 11244:a2af58a06c4e despite the updates in 11245:1c5102c0a7a9.
The x86 regression looks like it was just missed, but it's not clear
why the ARM one is giving different results (perhaps a non-determinism
between zizzer and wherever the updated results were run?).
The 01.hello-2T-smt test case for the O3 CPU didn't correctly setup
the number of threads before creating interrupt controllers, which
confused the constructor in BaseCPU. This changeset adds SMT support
to the test configuration infrastructure.

Adds SMT support to the "simple" CPU models so that they can be
used with other SMT-supported CPUs. Example usage: this enables
the TimingSimpleCPU to be used to warmup caches before swapping to
detailed mode with the in-order or out-of-order based CPU models.
These tests will ensure that Learning gem5 scripts are always up to date with
the changes in the mainline of gem5.
