ext: Include SystemC 2.3.1 into gem5

In the past it happened several times that some changes in gem5 broke the
SystemC coupling. Recently Accelera has changed the licence for SystemC
from their own licence to Apache2.0, which is compatible with gem5.
However, SystemC usually relies on the Boost library, but I was able to
exchange the boost calls by c++11 alternatives. The recent SystemC version
is placed into /ext and is integrated into gem5's build system. The goal is
to integrate some SystemC tests for the CI in some following patches.

+The handling of varargs is platform-dependent.  Assar Westerlund
+stared at the problem for a while and deduces the following table:

+vers / compiler         cc              gcc
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+1.3                     a0, offset      __base, __offset
+2.0                     _a0, _offset    __base, __offset
+
+The current code should handle both cc and gcc versions, provided
+you configure for the correct compiler.

+/* Varargs is harder on the AXP.  Parameters are saved on the stack as
+   something like (stack grows down to low memory; low at bottom of

+
+	|  :
+	| arg6
+	+---
+	| iarg5
+	|  :
+	| iarg3		<-- va_list._a0 + va_list._offset

+
+   When some of the arguments have known type, there is no need to
+   save all of them in the struct.  So, for example, if the routine is
+   called
+
+	zork (int a0, float a1, int a2, ...)
+	{
+	  va_list ap;
+	  va_start (ap, a2);
+	  qt_vargs (... &ap ...);
+	}
+
+   then offset is set to 3 * 8 (8 === sizeof machine word) = 24.
+
+   What this means for us is that the user's routine needs to be
+   called with an arg list where some of the words in the `any type'
+   parameter list have to be split and moved up in to the int/fp
+   region.
+
+   Ways in which this can fail:
+    - The user might not know the size of the pushed arguments anyway.
+    - Structures have funny promotion rules.
+    - Probably lots of other things.
+
+   All in all, we never promised varargs would work reliably. */

+   Stack layout:
+
+   Registers are saved in strictly low to high order, FPU regs first 
+   (only if qt_block is called), CEU regs second, IPU regs next, with no
+   padding between the groups.
+
+   Callee-save:  f16..f63; c15..c30; i12..i30.
+   Args passed in i2..i5.
+
+   Note: c31 is a private data pointer.  It is not changed on thread
+   swaps with the assumption that it represents per-processor rather
+   than per-thread state.
+
+   Note: i31 is an instruction count register that is updated by the
+   context switch routines.  Like c31, it is not changed on context
+   switches.
+
+   This is what we want on startup:
+
+
+   +------		<-- BOS: Bottom of stack (grows down)
+   | 80 (128 - 48) bytes of padding to a 128-byte boundary
+   +---
+   | only
+   | userf
+   | t
+   | u
+   | qt_start$TXT
+   | (empty)     	<-- qt.sp
+   +------		<-- (BOS - 128)
+
+   This is why we want this on startup:
+   
+   A thread begins running when the restore procedure switches thread stacks
+   and pops a return address off of the top of the new stack (see below
+   for the reason why we explicitly store qt_start$TXT).  The
+   block procedure pushes two jump addresses on a thread's stack before
+   it switches stacks.  The first is the return address for the block
+   procedure, and the second is a restore address.  The return address
+   is used to jump back to the thread that has been switched to;  the
+   restore address is a jump within the block code to restore the registers.
+   Normally, this is just a jump to the next address.  However, on thread
+   startup, this is a jump to qt_start$TXT.  (The block procedure stores
+   the restore address at an offset of 8 bytes from the top of the stack,
+   which is also the offset at which qt_start$TXT is stored on the stacks
+   of new threads.  Hence, when the block procedure switches to a new
+   thread stack, it will initially jump to qt_start$TXT; thereafter,
+   it jumps to the restore code.)
+
+   qt_start$TXT, after it has read the initial data on the new thread's
+   stack and placed it in registers, pops the initial stack frame
+   and gives the thread the entire stack to use for execution.
+
+   The KSR runtime system has an unusual treatment of pointers to
+   functions.  From C, taking the `name' of a function yields a
+   pointer to a _constant block_ and *not* the address of the
+   function.  The zero'th entry in the constant block is a pointer to
+   the function.
+
+   We have to be careful: the restore procedure expects a return
+   address on the top of the stack (pointed to by qt.sp).  This is not
+   a problem when restoring a thread that has run before, since the
+   block routine would have stored the return address on top of the
+   stack.  However, when ``faking up'' a thread start (bootstrapping a
+   thread stack frame), the top of the stack needs to contain a
+   pointer to the code that will start the thread running.
+
+   The pointer to the startup code is *not* `qt_start'.  It is the
+   word *pointed to* by `qt_start'.  Thus, we dereference `qt_start',
+   see QUICKTHREADS_ARGS_MD below.
+
+   On varargs startup (still unimplemented):
+
+   | padding to 128 byte boundary
+   | varargs		<-- padded to a 128-byte-boundary
+   +---
+   | caller's frame, 16 bytes

+
+   BUG: doubleword register arguments must be double-aligned.  If
+   something is passed as an even # arg and used as an odd # arg or
+   vice-versa, the code in the called routine (in the new thread) that
+   decides how to adjust the index will get it wrong, because it will

+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *
+ * This is the QuickThreads switching module implementation for PowerPC 
+ * running under Mach kernel. It was developed and tested under MacOS X, that
+ * is under Darwin (the UNIX-BSD fundation of MacOS X).
+ *
+ * Notice that the Mach PowerPC ABI (Application Binary Interface) [1] is
+ * not the same than System V ABI [2] used by most of the LINUX PowerPC
+ * implementations.
+ *
+ * IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
+ *
+ * 1) Porting on System V ABI
+ * Excluding the variant argument calling convention, Mach and System V ABI
+ * are enough similar and it could be possible to use some simple macro, to
+ * adapt the code for both the ABIs. Actually, the only relevant difference 
+ * is in the linkage area structure and in the position where the Link and
+ * the Condition registers are saved. As to the calling conventions, there
+ * are differences with floating points argument passing and with variant
+ * argument lists. Notice that, on Mach, the caller's stack frame allocates
+ * space to hold all arguments ([1] p.51), while on System V, the caller's
+ * stack frame allocates space to hold just the arguments that don't fit into
+ * registers ([2] p.3.18).
+ *
+ * 2) Variant argument list implementation
+ * Variant argument calling on a RISC machine is not easy to implement since
+ * parameters are passed via registers instead of via stack. In a general
+ * variant argument implementation, the caller's stack must map the whole
+ * parameter list following the rules related to the use of the GPR and FPR
+ * parameter registers and the stack alignment ([1] p.54). 
+ * This implementation is quite simple and not general. It works under the
+ * hypothesis that arguments are 4-bytes aligned integers.
+ *
+ * 3) This heather file organisation
+ * I preferred to not make confusion between macros that are needed (i.e.
+ * directly used) by QuickThreads and internal "implementation" macros. You
+ * will find QuickThreds macros in the end of this header. Sometime they just
+ * refer to an analogous "internal" macro. On the top, there are the macros
+ * that I used to make more clean (I hope) the implementation. I could include
+ * some system heather (as to stack layout definitions, prologs and epilogs,
+ * etc.), but I preferred to have a self-contained heather in order to make
+ * all more clear for mantaining and for possible porting on another ABI.

+* will use for their own calls.
+*  Be aware of the fact that, during a call, the caller's parameter area is,
+* in a certain sense, volatile. In facts, the callee can save parameter
+* registers on the caller's parameter area.

+ * 
+ * IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
+ *
+ *
+ * 1) Condition register saving
+ * On most machines, the condition code register is caller-save.
+ * On the PPC, the condition code register is callee-save, so the
+ * thread context switch must preserve it.
+ * 
+ * 
+ * 2) Floating point registers saving
+ * On resuming a thread, floating point registers are or not restored just
+ * depending on which block routine suspended the thread (i.e. regardless
+ * whether "qt_block", "qt_blocki" or "qt_abort" is used to resume it). 
+ * This behaviour is obtained by implementing "qt_block" by means af a nested
+ * call to "qt_blocki". As a result, the blocking of a thread always goes
+ * and returns through "qt_blocki and, if a thread was blocked by "qt_block",
+ * its execution resumes from the floating point restoring code on exit
+ * of "qt_block".
+ *
+ * Thanks to David Keppel that explained me this "simple" trick.
+ *
+ *
+ * 3) C languace code debugging
+ * This software was developed and debugged using the Metrowerks
+ * Code Warrior PPC integrated assembler. It can be still used with the 
+ * Code Warrior compiler by means of the file "powerpc_mach_asm_debug.c"
+ * that include it.
+ * In order to avoid "copy and paste" bugs, and make easyer the maintaining,
+ * I made the minimal changes, so you can find some strange code as:
+ * 
+ *   #if 0
+ *   .if 0
+ *      C code here
+ *   .endif

+ * Constants used in the assembly code are generated by running 
+ * the C code in the sequel (commented). It uses the C macros declared in
+ * the C heather in order to guarantee that the C interface and the assebly
+ * code are "aligned". I avoided the use of an assebler preprocessor since
+ * they are not so standard and moreover using macro espressions makes the

+/*****************************************************************************
+ *
+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *
+ * This is the QuickThreads switching module implementation for PowerPC 
+ * running under System V ABI (Application Binary Interface) [2]. It was
+ * developed by porting the MacOS X version and tested under LinuxPPC.
+ *
+ * Notice that this is not the same than the PowerPC Mach  ABI used by MacOSX
+ * [1].
+ *
+ * IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
+ *
+ * 1) Porting on System V ABI
+ * Excluding the variant argument calling convention, Mach and System V ABI
+ * are enough similar and it could be possible to use some simple macro, to
+ * adapt the code for both the ABIs. Actually, the only relevant difference 
+ * is in the linkage area structure and in the position where the Link and
+ * the Condition registers are saved. As to the calling conventions, there
+ * are differences with floating points argument passing and with variant
+ * argument lists. Notice that, on Mach, the caller's stack frame allocates
+ * space to hold all arguments ([1] p.51), while on System V, the caller's
+ * stack frame allocates space to hold just the arguments that don't fit into
+ * registers ([2] p.3.18).
+ *
+ * 2) Variant argument list implementation
+ * Variant argument calling on a RISC machine is not easy to implement since
+ * parameters are passed via registers instead of via stack. In a general
+ * variant argument implementation, the caller's stack must map the whole
+ * parameter list following the rules related to the use of the GPR and FPR
+ * parameter registers and the stack alignment ([2] p.3-21). 
+ * This implementation is quite simple and not general. It works under the
+ * hypothesis that arguments are 4-bytes aligned integers.
+ *
+ * 3) This heather file organisation
+ * I preferred to not make confusion between macros that are needed (i.e.
+ * directly used) by QuickThreads and internal "implementation" macros. You
+ * will find QuickThreds macros in the end of this header. Sometime they just
+ * refer to an analogous "internal" macro. On the top, there are the macros
+ * that I used to make more clean (I hope) the implementation. I could include
+ * some system heather (as to stack layout definitions, prologs and epilogs,
+ * etc.), but I preferred to have a self-contained heather in order to make
+ * all more clear for mantaining and for possible porting on another ABI.

+ *
+ * 
+ * IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
+ *
+ *
+ * 1) Condition register saving
+ * On most machines, the condition code register is caller-save.
+ * On the PPC, the condition code register is callee-save, so the
+ * thread context switch must preserve it.
+ * 
+ * 
+ * 2) Floating point registers saving
+ * On resuming a thread, floating point registers are or not restored just
+ * depending on which block routine suspended the thread (i.e. regardless
+ * whether "qt_block", "qt_blocki" or "qt_abort" is used to resume it). 
+ * This behaviour is obtained by implementing "qt_block" by means af a nested
+ * call to "qt_blocki". As a result, the blocking of a thread always goes
+ * and returns through "qt_blocki and, if a thread was blocked by "qt_block",
+ * its execution resumes from the floating point restoring code on exit
+ * of "qt_block".
+ *
+ * Thanks to David Keppel that explained me this "simple" trick.
+ *
+ *
+ * 3) C languace code debugging
+ * The original version of this software was developed and debugged under
+ * MacOS X using the Metrowerks Code Warrior PPC integrated assembler.
+ * It could be still used with a C inline assembler by means of a suitable
+ * file to include it.
+ * In order to avoid "copy and paste" bugs, and make easyer the maintaining,
+ * I made the minimal changes, so you can find some strange code as:
+ * 
+ *   #if 0
+ *   .if 0
+ *      C code here
+ *   .endif
+ *   #endif
+ *
+ * This is just to embed some C code that is needed by the Code Warrior 
+ * integrated assembler.
+ *
+ *
+ * 4) Assembly constants generation
+ * Constants used in the assembly code are generated by running 
+ * the C code in the sequel (commented). It uses the C macros declared in
+ * the C heather in order to guarantee that the C interface and the assebly
+ * code are "aligned". I avoided the use of an assebler preprocessor since
+ * they are not so standard and moreover using macro espressions makes the 
+ * assembly debugging more difficult.

+Solaris 2.x is like System V (maybe it *is* System V?) and is different
+from older versions in that it uses no leading underscore for variable
+and function names.  That is, the old convention was:
+
+	foo(){}
+
+got compiled as
+
+		.globl	_foo
+	_foo:
+
+and is now compiled as
+
+		.globl	foo

+The `config' script should fix up the older (leading underscore) versions
+of the machine-dependent files to use the newer (no leading underscore)
+calling conventions.

+// Aborting a thread is easy if there are no cached register window

+// cached register window frames they must all be written back to the
+// old stack before we move to the new stack.  If we fail to do the
+// writeback then the old stack memory can be written with register
+// window contents e.g., after the stack memory has been freed and
+// reused.  
+//
+// If you don't believe this, try setting the frame pointer to zero
+// once we're on the new stack.  This will not affect correctnes
+// otherwise because the frame pointer will eventually get reloaded w/
+// the new thread's frame pointer.  But it will be zero briefly before
+// the reload.  You will eventually (100,000 cswaps later on a small
+// SPARC machine that I tried) get an illegal instruction trap  from
+// the kernel trying to flush a cached window to location 0x0.
+//
+// Solution: flush windows before switching stacks, which invalidates
+// all the other register windows.  We could do the trap
+// conditionally: if we're in the lowest frame of a thread, the fp is
+// zero already so we know there's nothing cached.  But we expect most
+// aborts will be done from a first function that does a `save', so we
+// will rarely save anything and always pay the cost of testing to see
+// if we should flush.

+// All floating-point registers are caller-save, so this routine
+// doesn't need to do anything to save and restore them.

+// `qt_block' and `qt_blocki' return the same value as the value
