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.

Add basic support for Arm Semihosting 2.0 simulation calls [1]. These
calls let the guest system call a simulator or debugger to request
OS-like support when running bare metal code.
With the exception of SYS_SYSTEM, this implementation supports all of
the Semihosting 2.0 specification in aarch64.

Add an option to automatically set the aarch64 reset vector to the
entry point of the kernel. This is useful when running bare metal

This patch adds an extra layer to the pyfdt library such that usage
gets easier and device tree nodes can be specified in less code,
without limiting original usage. Note to not import both the pyfdt
and fdthelper in the same namespace (but generally fdthelper is all
you need, because it supplies the same classes even when they are not
extended in any way)
Also, this patch lays out the primary functionality for generating a
device tree, where every SimObject gets an empty generateDeviceTree
method and ArmSystems loop over their children in an effort to merge
all the nodes. Devices are implemented in other patches.

Recent Linux kernels for AArch64 have changed their start addresses
but we still want to relocate the kernel to 0x80080000 which
required hacking the load_addr_mask in Realview.py to be 0x7ffffff
from 0xfffffff to mask off the proper number of MSBs to load the
kernel in the desired location. To avoid having to make this change
in the future again, we auto-calculate the load_addr_mask if it is
specified as 0x0 in the System sim-object to find the most restrictive
address mask instead of having the configuration specify it. If the
configuration does specify the address mask, we use it instead of
auto-calculating.

Old ARM systems used to pass the machine type in the ATAGS list passed
to the kernel. This has been largely deprecated by the introduction of
device trees. Switch to the DTOnly machine type by default in gem5
since all new platforms and kernel will require this behavior.

Add support for a memory mapped m5op interface. When enabled, the TLB
intercepts accesses in the 64KiB region designated by the
ArmTLB.m5ops_base parameter. An access to this range maps to a
specific m5op call. The upper 8 bits of the offset into the range
denote the m5op function to call and the lower 8 bits denote the
subfunction.

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.

Add helper functions to dump the guest kernel's dmesg buffer to a text
file in m5out. This functionality is split into two parts. First, a
dmesg dump function that can be used in other places:
void Linux::dumpDmesg(ThreadContext *, std::ostream &)
This function is used to implement two PCEvents: DmesgDumpEvent and
KernelPanic event. The only difference between the two is that the
latter produces a gem5 panic instead of a warning in addition to
dumping the kernel log.

Add support for automatically discover available platforms. The
Python-side uses functionality similar to what we use when
auto-detecting available CPU models. The machine IDs have been updated
to match the platform configurations. If there isn't a matching
machine ID, the configuration scripts default to -1 which Linux uses
for device tree only platforms.

Add support for automatically selecting a boot loader that matches the
guest system's kernel. Instead of accepting a single boot loader, the
ArmSystem class now accepts a vector of boot loaders. When
initializing a system, the we now look for the first boot loader with
an architecture that matches the kernel.
This changeset makes it possible to use the same system for both
64-bit and 32-bit kernels.

The ArmSystem class has a parameter to indicate whether it is
configured to use the generic timer extension or not. This parameter
doesn't affect any feature flags in the current implementation and is
therefore completely unnecessary. In fact, we usually don't set it
even if a system has a generic timer. If we ever need to check if
there is a generic timer present, we should just request a pointer and
check if it is non-null instead.

This changes the default ARM system to a Versatile Express-like system that supports
2GB of memory and PCI devices and updates the default kernels/file-systems for
AArch64 ARM systems (64-bit) to support up to 32GB of memory and PCI devices. Some
platforms that are no longer supported have been pruned from the configuration files.
In addition a set of 64-bit ARM regressions have been added to the regression system.

When passed from a configuration script with a hexadecimal value (like
"0x80000000"), gem5 would error out. This is because it would call
"toMemorySize" which requires the argument to end with a size specifier (like
1MB, etc).
This modification makes it so raw hex values can be passed through Addr
parameters from the configuration scripts.

Note: AArch64 and AArch32 interworking is not supported. If you use an AArch64
kernel you are restricted to AArch64 user-mode binaries. This will be addressed
in a later patch.
Note: Virtualization is only supported in AArch32 mode. This will also be fixed
in a later patch.

This patch makes the values of ID_ISARx, MIDR, and FPSID configurable

When casting objects in the generated SWIG interfaces, SWIG uses
classical C-style casts ( (Foo *)bar; ). In some cases, this can
degenerate into the equivalent of a reinterpret_cast (mainly if only a
forward declaration of the type is available). This usually works for
most compilers, but it is known to break if multiple inheritance is
used anywhere in the object hierarchy.
This patch introduces the cxx_header attribute to Python SimObject
definitions, which should be used to specify a header to include in
the SWIG interface. The header should include the declaration of the
wrapped object. We currently don't enforce header the use of the
header attribute, but a warning will be generated for objects that do
not use it.

This change allows designating a system as MP capable or not as some

register.

Symbol tables masked with the loadAddrMask create redundant entries
that could conflict with kernel function events that rely on the
original addresses. This patch guards the creation of those masked
symbol tables by default, with an option to enable them when needed
(for early-stage kernel debugging, etc.)

This patch removes the assumption on having on single instance of
PhysicalMemory, and enables a distributed memory where the individual
memories in the system are each responsible for a single contiguous
address range.
All memories inherit from an AbstractMemory that encompasses the basic
behaviuor of a random access memory, and provides untimed access
methods. What was previously called PhysicalMemory is now
SimpleMemory, and a subclass of AbstractMemory. All future types of
memory controllers should inherit from AbstractMemory.
To enable e.g. the atomic CPU and RubyPort to access the now
distributed memory, the system has a wrapper class, called
PhysicalMemory that is aware of all the memories in the system and
their associated address ranges. This class thus acts as an
infinitely-fast bus and performs address decoding for these "shortcut"
accesses. Each memory can specify that it should not be part of the
global address map (used e.g. by the functional memories by some
testers). Moreover, each memory can be configured to be reported to
the OS configuration table, useful for populating ATAG structures, and
any potential ACPI tables.
Checkpointing support currently assumes that all memories have the
same size and organisation when creating and resuming from the
checkpoint. A future patch will enable a more flexible
re-organisation.
