7e25052fee Partly revert [4f54b0f229b5] and move draining to m5.changeToTiming
Changeset 4f54b0f229b5 removed the call to doDrain in changeToTiming
based on the assumption that the system does not need draining when
running in atomic mode. This is a false assumption since at least the
System class requires the system to be drained before it allows
switching of memory modes. This patch reverts that part of the
changeset.

234fa4cf7e Standard Switch: Drain the system before switching CPUs
When switching from an atomic CPU to any of the timing CPUs, a drain is
unnecessary since no events are scheduled in atomic mode. However, when
trying to switch CPUs starting with a timing CPU, there may be events
scheduled. This change ensures that all events are drained from the system
by calling m5.drain before switching CPUs.

9ad7e23e9e Checkpoint: Pass maxtick to avoid undefined variable
This patch fixes a bug in scriptCheckpoints, where maxtick was used
undefined. The bug caused checkpointing by means of --take-checkpoints
to fail.

4ebefc145a Checkpoint: Fix broken checkpointing functionality
This patch fixes the checkpointing by ensuring that the directory is
passer to the scriptCheckpoints function, and that the num_checkpoints
is not used before it is initialised.

5a648f2074 configs: add option for repeatedly switching back-and-forth between cpu types.
This patch adds a --repeat-switch option that will enable repeat core
switching at a user defined period (set with --switch-freq option).
currently, a switch can only occur between like CPU types. inorder CPU
switching is not supported.

*note*
this patch simply allows a config that will perform repeat switching, it
does not fix drain/switchout functionality. if you run with repeat switching
you will hit assertion failures and/or your workload with hang or die.

62425b7a07 Simulation.py: move code related to checkpointing to functions
This patch moves the code related to checkpointing from the run() function to
several different functions. The aim is to make the code more manageable. No
functionality changes are expected, but since the code is kind of unruly, it
is possible that some change might have creeped in.

d81a51a4c8 Config: change how cpu class is set
This changes the way in which the cpu class while restoring from a checkpoint
is set. Earlier it was assumed if cpu type with which to restore is not same
as the cpu type with the which to run the simulation, then the checkpoint
should be restored with the atomic cpu. This assumption is being dropped. The
checkpoint can now be restored with any cpu type, the default being atomic cpu.

ae6ab7c03c Config: Use clock option in se/fs script and pass to switch_cpus
This patch changes the se and fs script to use the clock option and
not simply set the CPUs clock to 2 GHz. It also makes a minor change
to the assignment of the switch_cpus clock to allow different clocks.

03229f2575 Config: Add support for restoring using a timing CPU
Currently there is an assumption that restoration from a checkpoint will
happen by first restoring to an atomic CPU and then switching to a timing
CPU. This patch adds support for directly restoring to a timing CPU. It
adds a new option '--restore-with-cpu' which is used to specify the type
of CPU to which the checkpoint should be restored to. It defaults to
'atomic' which was the case before.

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.

This patch moves the assignment of testsys.switch_cpus, testsys.switch_cpus_1,
switch_cpu_list, and switch_cpu_list1 outside of the for loop so they are
assigned only once, after switch_cpus and switch_cpus_1 are constructed.

4876e0c92b Config: Change misleading "cycle" message to say "tick".
Most of the messages in the config scripts that report a time value already
print "@ tick" followed by the current tick value, but a few were printing
"@ cycle". Since this is a distinction that's frequently confusing to new
users, this changes those message to the more accurate and consistent "@ tick".

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.

0ba2cc6571 Clean up config scripts to not have to worry about attaching a cache only to the TimingCPU. Now the Atomic CPU works with caches.
configs/common/Simulation.py:
    Atomic CPU now works properly with caches, so we don't have to do extra parsing to hook up caches only to the timing CPU.

    However the O3CPU must always use caches, so a check for that must still exist.

    Also change the switch_cpus to be placed at the system level, now that Steve changed how the IntrController gets its CPU.
configs/example/fs.py:
configs/example/se.py:
    Atomic CPU now handles caches.
