mem: Add a stack distance calculator
This patch adds a stand-alone stack distance calculator. The stack distance calculator is a passive SimObject that observes the addresses passed to it. It calculates stack distances (LRU Distances) of incoming addresses based on the partial sum hierarchy tree algorithm described by Alamasi et al. http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/773039.773043. For each transaction a hashtable look-up is performed. At every non-unique transaction the tree is traversed from the leaf at the returned index to the root, the old node is deleted from the tree, and the sums (to the right) are collected and decremented. The collected sum represets the stack distance of the found node. At every unique transaction the stack distance is returned as numeric_limits<uint64>::max(). In addition to the basic stack distance calculation, a feature to mark an old node in the tree is added. This is useful if it is required to see the reuse pattern. For example, Writebacks to the lower level (e.g. membus from L2), can be marked instead of being removed from the stack (isMarked flag of Node set to True). And then later if this same address is accessed (by L1), the value of the isMarked flag would be True. This gives some insight on how the Writeback policy of the lower level affect the read/write accesses in an application. Debugging is enabled by setting the verify flag to true. Debugging is implemented using a dummy stack that behaves in a naive way, using STL vectors. Note that this has a large impact on run time.

+/**
+ * The stack distance calculator is a passive object that merely
+ * observes the addresses pass to it. It calculates stack distances
+ * of incoming addresses based on the partial sum hierarchy tree
+ * algorithm described by Alamasi et al.
+ * http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/773039.773043.
+ *
+ * A tree structure is maintained and updated at each transaction
+ * (unique or non-unique). The tree is implemented as an STL vector
+ * with layers of the form <map> Each layer in this tree is an
+ * ordered map <uint64_t, Node*>. Nodes are structs which take form
+ * of leaf, intermediate and root nodes. For example, in a tree with 3
+ * layers, tree[0][5] gives a leaf node pointer for key=5 tree[1][1]
+ * gives an intermediate node pointer for key=1 tree[2][0] gives the
+ * root node in the tree.
+ *
+ * At every transaction a hash-map (aiMap) is looked up to check if
+ * the address was already encountered before. Based on this lookup a
+ * transaction can be termed as unique or non-unique.
+ *
+ * In addition to the normal stack distance calculation, a feature to
+ * mark an old node in the tree is added. This is useful if it is
+ * required to see the reuse pattern. For example, BackInvalidates
+ * from a lower level (e.g. membus to L2), can be marked (isMarked
+ * flag of Node set to True). Then later if this same address is
+ * accessed (by L1), the value of the isMarked flag would be
+ * True. This would give some insight on how the BackInvalidates
+ * policy of the lower level affect the read/write accesses in an
+ * application.
+ *
+ * There are two functions provided to interface with the calculator:
+ * 1. pair<uint64_t, bool> calcStackDistAndUpdate(Addr r_address,
+ * bool addNewNode)
+ * At every unique transaction a new leaf node is added at tree[0](leaf layer)
+ * and linked to the layer above (if addNewNode is True). The sums of all
+ * the intermediate nodes is updated till the root. The stack-distance is
+ * returned as a Constant representing INFINITY.
+ *
+ * At every non-unique transaction the tree is traversed from the
+ * leaf at the returned index to the root, the old node is deleted
+ * from the tree, and the sums (to the right are collected) and
+ * decremented. The collected sum represets the stack distance of the
+ * found node. If this node was marked then a bool flag set to True
+ * is returned with the stack_distance. During this operation a node
+ * is discarded at the leaf layer always. Moreover during the
+ * traversal upwards using the updateSum() method, if an intermediate
+ * node is found with no children connected to it, then that is
+ * discarded too.
+ *
+ * The return value of this function is a pair representing the
+ * stack_distance and the value of the marked flag.
+ *
+ * 2. pair<uint64_t , bool> calcStackDist(Addr r_address, bool mark)
+ * This is a stripped down version of the above function which is used to
+ * just inspect the tree, and mark a leaf node (if mark flag is set). The
+ * functionality to add a new node is removed.
+ *
+ * At every unique transaction the stack-distance is returned as a constant
+ * representing INFINITY.
+ *
+ * At every non-unique transaction the tree is traversed from the
+ * leaf at the returned index to the root, and the sums (to the right)
+ * are collected. The collected sum represets the stack distance of
+ * the found node.
+ *
+ * This function does NOT Modify the stack. (No node is added or
+ * deleted). It is just used to mark a node already created and get
+ * its stack distance.
+ *
+ * The return value of this function is a pair representing the stack
+ * distance and the value of the marked flag.
+ *
+ * The table below depicts the usage of the Algorithm using the functions:
+ * pair<uint64_t Stack_dist, bool isMarked> calcStackDistAndUpdate
+ * (Addr r_address, bool addNewNode)
+ * pair<uint64_t Stack_dist, bool isMarked> calcStackDist
+ * (Addr r_address, bool mark)
+ *
+ * | Function | Arguments |Return Val |Use For|
+ * |calcStackDistAndUpdate|r_address, True|I/SD,False |A,GD,GM|
+ * |calcStackDistAndUpdate|r_address,False|SD,prevMark|D,GD,GM|
+ * |calcStackDist |r_address,False|SD,prevMark| GD,GM|
+ * |calcStackDist |r_address, True|SD,prevMark| GD,GM|
+ *
+ * (*A: Allocate an address in stack, if old entry present then it is deleted,
+ * *U: Delete old-address from stack, no new entry is added
+ * *GD: Get-Stack distance of an address,
+ * *GM: Get value of Mark flag, indicates if that address has been touched
+ * before,
+ * *I: stack-distance = infinity,
+ * *SD: Stack Distance
+ * *r_address: address to be added, *prevMark: value of isMarked flag
+ * of the Node)
+ *
+ * Invalidates refer to a type of packet that removes something from
+ * a cache, either autonoumously (due-to cache's own replacement
+ * policy), or snoops from other caches which invalidate something
+ * inside our cache.
+ *
+ * Usage | Function to use |Typical Use |
+ * Add new entry |calcStackDistAndUpdate|Read/Write Allocate |
+ * Delete Old Entry |calcStackDistAndUpdate|Writebacks/Cleanevicts|
+ * Dist.of Old entry|calcStackDist |Cleanevicts/Invalidate|
+ *
+ * Node Balancing: The tree structure is maintained by an
+ * updateTree() operation called when an intermediate node is
+ * required. The update operation is roughly categorized as a root
+ * update or intermediate layer update. When number of leaf nodes
+ * grow over a power of 2 then a new layer is added at the top of the
+ * tree and a new root node is initialized. The old node at the lower
+ * layer is connected to this. In an intermediate node update
+ * operation a new intermediate node is added to the required layer.
+ *
+ * Debugging: Debugging can be enabled by setting the verifyStack flag
+ * true. Debugging is implemented using a dummy stack that behaves in
+ * a naive way, using STL vectors (i.e each unique address is pushed
+ * on the top of an STL vector stack, and SD is returned as
+ * Infinity. If a non unique address is encountered then the previous
+ * entry in the STL vector is removed, all the entities above it are
+ * pushed down, and the address is pushed at the top of the stack).
+ *
+ * A printStack(int numOfEntitiesToPrint) is provided to print top n entities
+ * in both (tree and STL based dummy stack).
