3e6da89419 ARM: add support for TEEHBR access
Thumb2 ARM kernels may access the TEEHBR via thumbee_notifier
in arch/arm/kernel/thumbee.c.  The Linux kernel code just seems
to be saving and restoring the register.  This patch adds support
for the TEEHBR cp14 register.  Note, this may be a special case
when restoring from an image that was run on a system that
supports ThumbEE.

be4aa2b6ba dev: Fix race conditions in IDE device on newer kernels
Newer linux kernels and distros exercise more functionality in the IDE device
than previously, exposing 2 races. The first race is the handling of aborted
DMA commands would immediately report the device is ready back to the kernel
and cause already in flight commands to assert the simulator when they returned
and discovered an inconsitent device state.  The second race was due to the
Status register not being handled correctly, the interrupt status bit would get
stuck at 1 and the driver eventually views this as a bad state and logs the
condition to the terminal.  This patch fixes these two conditions by making the
device handle aborted commands gracefully and properly handles clearing the
interrupt status bit in the Status register.

68dee58c38 arm: fix m5ops binary for ARM and add m5fail.
Changes to make m5ops work under virtualization seemed to break them working
with non-virtualized systems and the recently added m5 fail command makes
the m5op binary not compile.  For now remove the code for virtualization.

1e2a455a23 util: Streamline .apc project convertsion script
This Python script generates an ARM DS-5 Streamline .apc project based
on gem5 run. To successfully convert, the gem5 runs needs to be run
with the context-switch-based stats dump option enabled (The guest
kernel also needs to be patched to allow gem5 interrogate its task
information.) See help for more information.

fec2dea5c3 x86: Add support for m5ops through a memory mapped interface
In order to support m5ops in virtualized environments, we need to use
a memory mapped interface. This changeset adds support for that by
reserving 0xFFFF0000-0xFFFFFFFF and mapping those to the generic IPR
interface for m5ops. The mapping is done in the
X86ISA::TLB::finalizePhysical() which means that it just works for all
of the CPU models, including virtualized ones.

19a5b68db7 arch: Resurrect the NOISA build target and rename it NULL
This patch makes it possible to once again build gem5 without any
ISA. The main purpose is to enable work around the interconnect and
memory system without having to build any CPU models or device models.

The regress script is updated to include the NULL ISA target. Currently
no regressions make use of it, but all the testers could (and perhaps
should) transition to it.

--HG--
rename : build_opts/NOISA => build_opts/NULL
rename : src/arch/noisa/SConsopts => src/arch/null/SConsopts
rename : src/arch/noisa/cpu_dummy.hh => src/arch/null/cpu_dummy.hh
rename : src/cpu/intr_control.cc => src/cpu/intr_control_noisa.cc

cf56619b0c arm: use -march when compiling m5op_arm.S
Using arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc 4.7.3-1ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 13.04 to compiled
the m5 binary yields the error:

m5op_arm.S: Assembler messages:
m5op_arm.S:85: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `bxj lr'

For each of of the SIMPLE_OPs. Apparently, this compiler doesn't like the
interworking of these code types for the default arch. Adding -march=armv7-a
makes it compile. Another alternative that I found to work is replacing the
bxj lr instruction with mov pc, lr, but I don't know how that affects the
KVM stuff and if bxj is needed.

33ab8f735d kvm: Add support for pseudo-ops on ARM
This changeset adds support for m5 pseudo-ops when running in
kvm-mode. Unfortunately, we can't trap the normal gem5 co-processor
entry in KVM (it doesn't seem to be possible to trap accesses to
non-existing co-processors). We therefore use BZJ instructions to
cause a trap from virtualized mode into gem5. The BZJ instruction is
becomes a normal branch to the gem5 fallback code when running in
simulated mode, which means that this patch does not need to change
the ARM ISA-specific code.

Note: This requires a patched host kernel.

Changeset 02321b16685f added m5_writefile to m5op_x86.S a second time,
which causes a compilation error on when compiling for x86. This
changeset reverts that changeset and fixes the error.

e88e7d88b9 o3: fix tick used for renaming and issue with range selection
Fixes the tick used from rename:
- previously this gathered the tick on leaving rename which was always 1 less
  than the dispatch. This conflated the decode ticks when back pressure built
  in the pipeline.
- now picks up tick on entry.

Added --store_completions flag:
- will additionally display the store completion tail in the viewer.
- this highlights periods when large numbers of stores are outstanding (>16 LSQ
  blocking)

Allows selection by tick range (previously this caused an infinite loop)

807168a1de util: add m5_fail op.
Used as a command in full-system scripts helps the user ensure the benchmarks have finished successfully.

For example, one can use:

    /path/to/benchmark args || /sbin/m5 fail 1

and thus ensure gem5 will exit with an error if the benchmark fails.

38925ff621 arm: Remove the register mapping hack used when copying TCs
In order to see all registers independent of the current CPU mode, the
ARM architecture model uses the magic MISCREG_CPSR_MODE register to
change the register mappings without actually updating the CPU
mode. This hack is no longer needed since the thread context now
provides a flat interface to the register file. This patch replaces
the CPSR_MODE hack with the flat register interface.

17b47d35e1 arch: Move the ISA object to a separate section
After making the ISA an independent SimObject, it is serialized
automatically by the Python world. Previously, this just resulted in
an empty ISA section. This patch moves the contents of the ISA to that
section and removes the explicit ISA serialization from the thread
contexts, which makes it behave like a normal SimObject during
serialization.

Note: This patch breaks checkpoint backwards compatibility! Use the
cpt_upgrader.py utility to upgrade old checkpoints to the new format.

fdcfbda38d m5: Expose m5 pseudo-instructions to C/C++ via a static library
Updated the util/m5/Makefile.arm so that m5op_arm.S is used to create
a static library - libm5.a. Allowing users to insert m5
psuedo-instructions into their applications for fine-grained
checkpointing, switching cpus or dumping statistics. e.g.

#include <m5op.h>

void foo(){
	...
	m5_reset_stats(<delay>,<period>)
	m5_work_begin(<workid>,<threadid>);
	...
	m5_work_end(<workid>,<threadid>);
	m5_dump_stats(<delay>,<period>);

9baa35ba80 Mem: Separate the host and guest views of memory backing store
This patch moves all the memory backing store operations from the
independent memory controllers to the global physical memory. The main
reason for this patch is to allow address striping in a future set of
patches, but at this point it already provides some useful
functionality in that it is now possible to change the number of
memory controllers and their address mapping in combination with
checkpointing. Thus, the host and guest view of the memory backing
store are now completely separate.

With this patch, the individual memory controllers are far simpler as
all responsibility for serializing/unserializing is moved to the
physical memory. Currently, the functionality is more or less moved
from AbstractMemory to PhysicalMemory without any major
changes. However, in a future patch the physical memory will also
resolve any ranges that are interleaved and properly assign the
backing store to the memory controllers, and keep the host memory as a
single contigous chunk per address range.

Functionality for future extensions which involve CPU virtualization
also enable the host to get pointers to the backing store.

e4830ad2eb gem5ops: Implement Java JNI for gem5Ops
These ops allow gem5 ops to be called from within java programs like the following:
import jni.gem5Op;

public  class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        gem5Op gem5 = new gem5Op();
        System.out.println("Rpns0:" + gem5.rpns());
        System.out.println("Rpns1:" + gem5.rpns());
    }

    static {
        System.loadLibrary("gem5OpJni");
    }
}

When building you need to make sure classpath include gem5OpJni.jar:
javac -classpath $CLASSPATH:/path/to/gem5OpJni.jar HelloWorld.java

and when running you need to make sure both the java and library path are set:
java -classpath $CLASSPATH:/path/to/gem5OpJni.jar -Djava.library.path=/path/to/libgem5OpJni.so HelloWorld
