Change the definition of PMU events in order to integrate events not
cannot easily be represented by probe points. The software
increment event is now defined as a special type with its separate
implementation in pmu.cc and pmu.hh.

Events were not being attached to counters after a checkpoint resume.
By not storing the enable private variable from the stored state the
recreation of the event to counter association is automatically carried.
The enable state is stored in the reg_pmcnten.

When writing a bitmask of counters to PMSWINC, the PMU currently
increments the corresponding counters regardless of what they are
configured to count. According to the ARM ARM (D5.10.4), counters
should only be updated if they have been configured to count
software events (event type 0).

ARMv8.1 added a second architected event range, 0x4000-0x4040. Events
in this range are discovered using the high word of PMCEID{0,1}_EL0

The PMU model currently doesn't calculate the PMU event counter index
correctly for writes to the PMEVTYPER[0-5]_EL0 registers. Fix this
obvious mistake.

Remve the assertion that we always need to add a delta larger than
zero as that does not seem to be true when we hit it in the
'PMU reset cycle counter to zero' case.

Objects that are can be serialized are supposed to inherit from the
Serializable class. This class is meant to provide a unified API for
such objects. However, so far it has mainly been used by SimObjects
due to some fundamental design limitations. This changeset redesigns
to the serialization interface to make it more generic and hide the
underlying checkpoint storage. Specifically:
* Add a set of APIs to serialize into a subsection of the current
object. Previously, objects that needed this functionality would
use ad-hoc solutions using nameOut() and section name
generation. In the new world, an object that implements the
interface has the methods serializeSection() and
unserializeSection() that serialize into a named /subsection/ of
the current object. Calling serialize() serializes an object into
the current section.
* Move the name() method from Serializable to SimObject as it is no
longer needed for serialization. The fully qualified section name
is generated by the main serialization code on the fly as objects
serialize sub-objects.
* Add a scoped ScopedCheckpointSection helper class. Some objects
need to serialize data structures, that are not deriving from
Serializable, into subsections. Previously, this was done using
nameOut() and manual section name generation. To simplify this,
this changeset introduces a ScopedCheckpointSection() helper
class. When this class is instantiated, it adds a new /subsection/
and subsequent serialization calls during the lifetime of this
helper class happen inside this section (or a subsection in case
of nested sections).
* The serialize() call is now const which prevents accidental state
manipulation during serialization. Objects that rely on modifying
state can use the serializeOld() call instead. The default
implementation simply calls serialize(). Note: The old-style calls
need to be explicitly called using the
serializeOld()/serializeSectionOld() style APIs. These are used by
default when serializing SimObjects.
* Both the input and output checkpoints now use their own named
types. This hides underlying checkpoint implementation from
objects that need checkpointing and makes it easier to change the
underlying checkpoint storage code.

This patch adds support for filtering events in the PMU. In order to
do so, it updates the ISADevice base class to forward an ISA pointer
to ISA devices. This enables such devices to access the MiscReg file
to determine the current execution level.

Another churn to clean up undefined behaviour, mostly ARM, but some
parts also touching the generic part of the code base.
Most of the fixes are simply ensuring that proper intialisation. One
of the more subtle changes is the return type of the sign-extension,
which is changed to uint64_t. This is to avoid shifting negative
values (undefined behaviour) in the ISA code.

This class implements a subset of the ARM PMU v3 specification as
described in the ARMv8 reference manual. It supports most of the
features of the PMU, however the following features are known to be
missing:
* Event filtering (e.g., from different privilege levels).
* Access controls (the PMU currently ignores the execution level).
* The chain counter (event no. 0x1E) is unimplemented.
The PMU itself does not implement any events, it merely provides an
interface for the configuration scripts to hook up probes that drive
events. Configuration scripts should call addEventProbe() to configure
custom events or high-level methods to configure architected
events. The Python implementation of addEventProbe() automatically
delays event type registration until after instantiation.
In order to support CPU switching and some combined counters (e.g.,
memory references synthesized from loads and stores), the PMU allows
multiple probes per event type. When creating a system that switches
between CPU models that share the same PMU, PMU events for all of the
CPU models can be registered with the PMU.
Kudos to Matt Horsnell for the initial gem5 implementation of the PMU.
