The option allows to set SimObject params from the CLI.
The existing config scripts have a large number of options that simply set
a single SimObject parameter, and many still are not exposed.
This commit allows users to pass arbitrary parameters from the command
line to prevent the need for this kind of trivial option.

This is an old platform, and we haven't had official Linux kernel configs
for it in a while, so we've decided to deprecate it.
Furthermore, trying to use it fails with:
object 'RealViewEB' has no attribute 'pci_host'
and the last commit in the class happened two years ago, which indicates
that no one has been using it.

The AtomicSimpleCPU used to be able to access memory directly to speed
up simulation if no caches are used. This is fine as long as no
switching between CPU models is required. In order to switch to a new
CPU model that requires caches, we currently need to checkpoint the
system and restore it into a new configuration. The new
'atomic_noncaching' memory mode provides a solution that avoids this
issue since caches are bypassed in this mode. This changeset removes
the old fastmem option from the AtomicSimpleCPU and introduces a new
CPU, NonCachingSimpleCPU, which derives from the AtomicSimpleCPU.
The NonCachingSimpleCPU uses the same mechanism as the AtomicSimpleCPU
used to use when accessing memory in when fastmem was enabled.
This changeset also introduces a new switcheroo test that tests
switching between a NonCachingSimpleCPU and a TimingSimpleCPU with
caches.

Replacement policies (LRU, Random) are currently considered as array
indexing methods, but have completely different functionalities:
- Array indexers determine the possible locations for block allocation.
This information is used to generate replacement candidates when
conflicts happen.
- Replacement policies determine which of the replacement candidates
should be evicted to make room for new allocations.
For this reason, they were split into different classes. Advantages:
- Easier and more straightforward to implement other replacement
policies (RRIP, LFU, ARC, ...)
- Allow easier future implementation of cache organization schemes
As now we can't assure the use of sets, the previous way to create a
true LRU is not viable. Now a timestamp_bits parameter controls how
many bits are dedicated for the timestamp, and a true LRU can be
achieved through an infinite number of bits (although a few bits suffice
in practice).

These functions were already being treated as psuedo objects and had
properties assigned to them setting what their paths were. That's a bit
unusual and made it less obvious what the code was doing, but also
forced the "system" function to know what all the possible path
searching functions were so that they'd have their "path" property
initialized properly in a central location.
This change introduces a PathSearcFunc class which encapsulates the
mechanisms of the old code and makes it implicitly extensible so that
other path searching functions which might look in other directories
can be added in other places.

target ISA and the ISA assumptions made by the timing models.
Instead of unconditionally listing all CPU models in cores.arm, list
timing models from cores.generic and cores.${TARGET_ISA}. This ensures
that the listed timing models support the ISA that gem5 is targeting.

This patch adds some more functionality to the cpu model and the arch to
interface with the vector register file.
This change consists mainly of augmenting ThreadContexts and ExecContexts
with calls to get/set full vectors, underlying microarchitectural elements
or lanes. Those are meant to interface with the vector register file. All
classes that implement this interface also get an appropriate implementation.
This requires implementing the vector register file for the different
models using the VecRegContainer class.
This change set also updates the Result abstraction to contemplate the
possibility of having a vector as result.
The changes also affect how the remote_gdb connection works.
There are some (nasty) side effects, such as the need to define dummy
numPhysVecRegs parameter values for architectures that do not implement
vector extensions.

where n = The number of devices per rank on the channel
x = Device width
Total channel width can be calculated by n*w
Example:

n = 16
w = 4
The resulting configuration name is:

If the cache access mode is parallel, i.e. "sequential_access" parameter
is set to "False", tags and data are accessed in parallel. Therefore,
the hit_latency is the maximum latency between tag_latency and
data_latency. On the other hand, if the cache access mode is

tags and data are accessed sequentially. Therefore, the hit_latency

This patch adds the ability for an application to request dist-gem5 to begin/
end synchronization using an m5 op. When toggling on sync, all nodes agree
on the next sync point based on the maximum of all nodes' ticks. CPUs are
suspended until the sync point to avoid sending network messages until sync has
been enabled. Toggling off sync acts like a global execution barrier, where
all CPUs are disabled until every node reaches the toggle off point. This
avoids tricky situations such as one node hitting a toggle off followed by a
toggle on before the other nodes hit the first toggle off.

Modify the opClass assigned to AArch64 FP instructions from SimdFloat* to
Float*. Also create the FloatMemRead and FloatMemWrite opClasses, which
distinguishes writes to the INT and FP register banks.
Change the latency of (Simd)FloatMultAcc to 5, based on the Cortex-A72,
where the "latency" of FMADD is 3 if the next instruction is a FMADD and
has only the augend to destination dependency, otherwise it's 7 cycles.

Continue along the same line as the recent patch that made the
Ruby-related config scripts Python packages and make also the
configs/common directory a package.
All affected config scripts are updated (hopefully).
Note that this change makes it apparent that the current organisation
and naming of the config directory and its subdirectories is rather
chaotic. We mix scripts that are directly invoked with scripts that
merely contain convenience functions. While it is not addressed in
this patch we should follow up with a re-organisation of the
config structure, and renaming of some of the packages.

This patch moves the addition of network options into the Ruby module
to avoid the regressions all having to add it explicitly. Doing this
exposes an issue in our current config system though, namely the fact
that addtoPath is relative to the Python script being executed. Since
both example and regression scripts use the Ruby module we would end
up with two different (relative) paths being added. Instead we take a
first step at turning the config modules into Python packages, simply
by adding a __init__.py in the configs/ruby, configs/topologies and
configs/network subdirectories.
As a result, we can now add the top-level configs directory to the
Python search path, and then use the package names in the various
modules. The example scripts are also updated, and the messy
path-deducing variations in the scripts are unified.

This patch changes the default behaviour of the SystemXBar, adding a
snoop filter. With the recent updates to the snoop filter allocation
behaviour this change no longer causes problems for the regressions
without caches.

Ruby on ARM is currently very experimental. Fail with a fatal error
that explains this to make sure users are aware of the limitations (it
doesn't actually work yet!).

Add initial support for creating an ARM system with a Ruby-based
memory system. This support is currently experimental and limited to
the new VExpress_GEM5_V1 platform.

At the moment the SPARC FS machine configuration comes with a hardcoded
value for using the Solaris 10 disk image from the OpenSPARC tarball. The
--disk-image option is completely ignored for SPARC. This simple patch
modifies the behavior so that --disk-image option is both taken into
account and also required. This makes it possible to easily change SPARC FS
images without having to modify the configuration files.

In this new hmc configuration we have used the existing components in gem5
mainly [SerialLink] [NoncoherentXbar]& [DRAMCtrl] to define 3 different
architecture for HMC.
Highlights
1- It explores 3 different HMC architectures
2- It creates 4-HMC crossbars and attaches 16 vault controllers with it.
This will connect vaults to serial links
3- From the previous version, HMCController with round robin funtionality
is being removed and all the serial links are being accessible directly
from user ports
4- Latency incorporated by HMCController (in previous version) is being
added to SerialLink
