Building gem5 binaries or regression test binaries needs to be done
from within the make_env function which builds an environment for each
flavor of build (opt, fast, debug, etc.). That makes it impossible to
add new types of binaries without modifying the central SConscript.
This change refactors how binaries are set up so that the class that
represents them handles the details of how the binary should be built.
Also, a metaclass and some lists track types of binaries and individual
instances of binaries so that they can be iterated over automatically
in make_env.
Each new executable class can define a declare_all class function which
calls declare() on individual instances. declare_all is a place to do
any processing that only has to happen once (for instance specializing
the environment) for a particular family of executables.

The original implementation of UnitTest forced all the output binaries
to live in the unittest directory, effectively forcing a flat
namespace, and seperating the tests from the things they were supposed
to be testing.
This changes makes them work more like the newer GTest tests in that
they can be based out of whatever directory makes sense, although
they're currently all still in unittest for the time being.
This change also gets rid of automatically tagging the sources
associated with a test with the tests name. The first reason for that
was that this also forced a flat namespace, since the tests names
didn't have any reference to the test's path. Second, this way of
pulling in additional files wasn't necessary any more, now that the
UnitTest sources could be source filters like they can be for GTests.

Starting with version 3, scons imposes using the print function instead
of the print statement in code it processes. To get things building
again, this change moves all python code within gem5 to use the
function version. Another change by another author separately made this
same change to the site_tools and site_init.py files.

There are some cases where scons incorrectly adds the same object
multiple times to the linker command line. This seems to be caused by
the test's source list being updated in place when determining test
framework dependencies. Fix this by explicitly copying the source list
and manipulate the copy.
Without this change, the following command fails:
scons ./build/ARM/unittests.opt/base/pixeltest.xml
Whereas this command succeeds:
scons ./build/ARM/base/pixeltest.opt

The GTest framework supports result generation in XML (JUnit). Enable
this by creating unit test specific targets in the
build/${BUILD_OPTS}/unittests.${VARIANT} directory. Targets in the
directory use the following naming convention:
${SRC_PATH}/${TEST_NAME}.xml
For example, the opt version of the bitunion test built for ARM would
have this path:

SCons currently scrubs the environment variables used by GTests too

This change introduces the idea of a SourceFilter which is an object
that can filter a SourceList and which can be composed with other
SourceFilters using | and & operators. This means a filter can be
constructed ahead of time, possibly before all sources have been
discovered, and then later applied to any SourceList necessary.
This change also modifies GTest so that it accepts SourceFilters in
addition to normal source files. These filters will be applied to the
final list of all sources, and the result included in the build for
that test.
By default, gtests will build in all sources tagged with 'gtest lib'.
This change also introduces the keyword argument "skip_lib" which will
exclude those files. They can then be left out entirely, or they can be
re-included as part of a more elaborate filter. That would be useful if
someone wanted to write a unit test for, for instance, the warn, etc.
macros which rely on the gtest logging support. Those classes could
be replaced by something under the control of the unit test, while
still including the rest of the gtest library.

Telling scons to build build/${BUILD_OPTS}/unittests.${VARIANT} will
get it to build and run all googletest based unit tests under the
${BUILD_OPTS} build options (ARM, ALPHA, X86, etc.), and compiled with
the flags, etc., for the ${VARIANT} variant (ie. opt, debug, etc.).
This will make it easy to run the unit tests without having to actually
know where they are, what tests are available, etc.
This target is called unittests* and not something based on gtest or
googletest since it's my intention for all unit tests to be based on
googletest, making the distinction unnecessary. Since the target is
essentially part of the external interface for scons, I wanted to name
it something general so it'll be less likely that we have to change it.

scons gets upset if two different environments are used to set up a
particular object file. This change adds two dicts to the SourceFile
class, one for static and one for shared object files, which are keyed
off of the appropriate suffix. If a suffix hasn't been set up yet,
a new node of the appropriate type is set up and stored in the cache,
and then whatever is in the cache (new or old) is returned.

Tags are just arbitrary strings which are attached to source files
which mark them as having some property. By default, all source files
have the "gem5 lib" tag added to them which marks them as part of the
gem5 library, the primary component of the gem5 binary but also a
seperable component for use in, for example, system C.
The tags can be completely overridden by setting the "tags" parameter
on Source, etc., functions, and can be augmented by setting "add_tags"
which are tags that will be added, or alternatively additional tags.
It's possible to specify both, in which case the tags will be set to
the union of tags and add_tags. add_tags is supposed to be a way to
add extra tags to the default without actually overriding the default.
Both tags and add_tags can be a list/tuple/etc of tags, or a single
string which will be converted into a set internally.
Other existing tags include:
1. "python" for files that need or are used with python and are
excluded when the --without-python option is set
2. "main" for the file(s) which implement the gem5 binary's main
function.
3. The name of a unit test to group its files together.
4. Tags which group source files for partial linking.
By grouping the "tags" into a single parameter instead of taking all
extra parameters as tags, the extra parameters can, in the future, be
passed to the underlying scons environment. Also, the tags are either
present or not. With guards, they could be present and True, present
and False, or not present at all.

gcc has had a lot of problems with incremental linking and partial linking
at the same time. Basically, the partial link assumes that it's the only
link that's going to happen, and it converts weak external symbols into
regular external symbols. Then when the real final link happens, those
symbols are duplicated and the link fails.
Versions of gcc 6 and greater add an option called -flinker-output which
lets you tell the linker to do an incremental link. Unfortunately, other
bugs make that fail, and so gcc 6 doesn't work either. Hopefully version
7 works better.
A --force-lto option was added so that, when only one of lto and partial
linking is available, you can switch from having partial linking to having
lto.

explicitly in the SConscript was redundant, except that it showed that the

converts those bits of code to use get_text_contents() and removes the

Use the PyBind11 wrapping infrastructure instead of SWIG to generate
wrappers for functionality that needs to be exported to Python. This
has several benefits:
* PyBind11 can be redistributed with gem5, which means that we have
full control of the version used. This avoid a large number of
hard-to-debug SWIG issues we have seen in the past.
* PyBind11 doesn't rely on a custom C++ parser, instead it relies on
wrappers being explicitly declared in C++. The leads to slightly
more boiler-plate code in manually created wrappers, but doesn't
doesn't increase the overall code size. A big benefit is that this
avoids strange compilation errors when SWIG doesn't understand
modern language features.
* Unlike SWIG, there is no risk that the wrapper code incorporates
incorrect type casts (this has happened on numerous occasions in
the past) since these will result in compile-time errors.
As a part of this change, the mechanism to define exported methods has
been redesigned slightly. New methods can be exported either by
declaring them in the SimObject declaration and decorating them with
the cxxMethod decorator or by adding an instance of
PyBindMethod/PyBindProperty to the cxx_exports class variable. The
decorator has the added benefit of making it possible to add a
docstring and naming the method's parameters.
The new wrappers have the following known issues:
* Global events can't be memory managed correctly. This was the
case in SWIG as well.

This patch changes how the embedded swig code is loaded to ensure that
gem5 works with swig 3.0.9. For Python 2.7 and above, swig 3.0.9 now
relies on importlib, and actually looks in the appropriate packages,
even for the wrapped C code. However, the swig wrapper does not
explicitly place the module in the right package (it just calls
Py_InitModule), and we have to take explicit action to ensure that the
swig code can be loaded. This patch adds the information to the
generated wrappers and the appropriate calls to set the context as
part of the swig initialisation.
Previous versions of swig used to fall back on looking in the global
namespace for the wrappers (and still do for Python 2.6), but
technically things should not work without the functionality in this
patch.

It's apparently not widely known that our scons scripts allow you to
put the build directory wherever you want; not only does it not have
to be immediately under the root of your repo, it doesn't even have
to be underneath the root at all. (For example, sometimes it's useful
to build on a local disk if your repo is on a slow NFS mount.)
I point this out because this functionality has been broken for close
to two years but no one seems to have noticed yet. This patch fixes
an assumption that crept in in changeset be0e1724eb39 (May 09 2014)
that the build dir would be immediately under the top level of the

This commit addresses gem5 checkpoints' linear versioning bottleneck.
Since development is distributed across many private trees, there exists
a sort of 'race' for checkpoint version numbers: internally a checkpoint
version may be used but then resynchronizing with the external tree causes
a conflict on that version. This change replaces the linear version number
with a set of unique strings called tags. Now the only conflicts that can
arise are of tag names, where collisions are much easier to avoid.
The checkpoint upgrader (util/cpt_upgrader.py) upgrades the version
representation, as one would expect. Each tag version implements its
upgrader code in a python file in the util/cpt_upgraders directory
rather than adding a function to the upgrader script itself.
The version tags are stored in the 'Globals' section rather than 'root'
(as the version was previously) because 'Globals' gets unserialized
first and can provide a warning before any other unserialization errors
can occur.

This patch updates the compiler minimum requirement to gcc 4.7 and
clang 3.1, thus allowing:
1. Explicit virtual overrides (no need for M5_ATTR_OVERRIDE)
2. Non-static data member initializers
3. Template aliases
4. Delegating constructors
This patch also enables a transition from --std=c++0x to --std=c++11.

Gcc and clang both provide an attribute that can be used to flag a
function as deprecated at compile time. This changeset adds a gem5
compiler macro for that compiler feature. The macro can be used to
indicate that a legacy API within gem5 has been deprecated and provide
a graceful migration to the new API.

This patch fixes the CompoundFlag constructor, ensuring that it does
not dereference NULL. Doing so has undefined behaviuor, and both clang
and gcc's undefined-behaviour sanitiser was rather unhappy.

This patch adds sorting based on the SimObject name or parameter name
for all situations where we iterate over dictionaries. This should
ensure a deterministic and consistent order across the host systems
and hopefully avoid regression results differing across python
versions.

This patch makes the memory system ISA-agnostic by enabling the Ruby
Sequencer to dynamically determine if it has to do a store check. To
enable this check, the ISA is encoded as an enum, and the system
is able to provide the ISA to the Sequencer at run time.

This patch adds the ability to load in config.ini files generated from
gem5 into another instance of gem5 built without Python configuration
support. The intended use case is for configuring gem5 when it is a
library embedded in another simulation system.
A parallel config file reader is also provided purely in Python to
demonstrate the approach taken and to provided similar functionality
for as-yet-unknown use models. The Python configuration file reader
can read both .ini and .json files.
C++ configuration file reading:
A command line option has been added for scons to enable C++ configuration
file reading: --with-cxx-config
There is an example in util/cxx_config that shows C++ configuration in action.
util/cxx_config/README explains how to build the example.
Configuration is achieved by the object CxxConfigManager. It handles
reading object descriptions from a CxxConfigFileBase object which
wraps a config file reader. The wrapper class CxxIniFile is provided
which wraps an IniFile for reading .ini files. Reading .json files
from C++ would be possible with a similar wrapper and a JSON parser.
After reading object descriptions, CxxConfigManager creates
SimObjectParam-derived objects from the classes in the (generated with this
patch) directory build/ARCH/cxx_config
CxxConfigManager can then build SimObjects from those SimObjectParams (in an
order dictated by the SimObject-value parameters on other objects) and bind
ports of the produced SimObjects.
A minimal set of instantiate-replacing member functions are provided by
CxxConfigManager and few of the member functions of SimObject (such as drain)
are extended onto CxxConfigManager.
Python configuration file reading (configs/example/read_config.py):
A Python version of the reader is also supplied with a similar interface to
CxxConfigFileBase (In Python: ConfigFile) to config file readers.
The Python config file reading will handle both .ini and .json files.
The object construction strategy is slightly different in Python from the C++
reader as you need to avoid objects prematurely becoming the children of other
objects when setting parameters.
Port binding also needs to be strictly in the same port-index order as the
original instantiation.

This patch adds the Undefined Behavior Sanitizer (UBSan) for clang and
gcc >= 4.9. Due to the performance impact, the usage is guarded by a
command-line option.

Reduces target count/compiler invocations by ~180.
