Generating dependency/build product information in the isa parser breaks scons
idea of how a build is supposed to work. Arm twisting it into working forced

ARM systems require the coordination of the global and local
monitors. When the system is run without caches the global monitor is
implemented in the abstract memory object. This change adds a callback
from the abstract memory that notifies the local monitor when the
global monitor is cleared.
Additionally, for ARM systems the local monitor signals the event
register and wakes the thread context up. Subsequent wait-for-event
(WFE) instructions will be immediately signaled.

The MuxingKvmGic class defined a few functions related to checkpointing which
did nothing other than call the underlying Pl390 implementation. These are
unnecessary in general, and are particularly unnecessary for the loadState
function which is a very lightly used part of the checkpointing interface.
It's not actually defined in Pl390 either, and falls through to the
underlying implementation.

ISA devices typically run in the device event queue. Previously, we
assumed that devices would perform their own EQ migrations as
needed. This isn't ideal since it means we have different conventions
for IO devices and ISA devices. Switch to doing migrations in the KVM
CPU instead to make the behavior consistent.

If an interrupt was pending according to Kvm state during a drain,
the Pl390 model would create an interrupt event that could not be
serviced, preventing the system from draining. The proper behavior
is for the Pl390 not actively being used for simulation to just skip
the GIC state machine that delivers interrupts.

The BaseArmKvmCPU is responsible for forwarding the IRQ and FIQ
signals from gem5's simulated GIC to KVM. However, these signals
shouldn't be used when the in-kernel GIC emulator is used.
Instead of delivering the interrupts to the guest, we should just
ignore them since any such pending interrupts are likely to be an
artifact of CPU switching or incorrect draining.

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.
Nathanael Premillieu's work with an increasing number of fixes and
improvements of mine.

The idea behind the simplification is that instead of having the regId,
telling which kind of register read/write/rename/lookup/etc. and then
the function panic_if'ing if the regId is not of the appropriate type,
we provide an interface that decides what kind of register to read
depending on the register type of the given regId.

The ARM MiscRegs implementation has two interfaces: 'normal'
and 'no effect'. The latter acts as a way to access the
backing store without architectural 'effects'. For instance,
a normal write to a timer compare value would call into the
timer model to emulate the device. The 'no effect' interface,
however, would just write the value into the register backing
store and do nothing else.
For Kvm execution, a delicate balance must be struck for the
timer device specifically. We need the code in the model
to be run, because it contains state other than the register
backing store that must stay in sync. On the other hand, we
don't necessarily want the timer model to schedule gem5
events when this happens.
In this commit, we ensure that we use the 'effectful'
MiscReg interface when copying the CP15 timer registers
from Kvm back into gem5. The prior commit makes sure
that this doesn't generate unnecessary timer events
or interrupts.

32bit and 64bit Linux have different arguments passed to the
__switch_to() function that gem5 hooks into in order to collect context
switch statistics. 64bit Linux provides the task_struct pointer to the
next task that will be switched to, which means we don't have to look
up the task_struct from thread_info as we do in 32bit ARM Linux.
This patch adds a second set of accessors to ThreadInfo to extract
details such as the pid, tgid, task name, etc., directly from a
task_struct. The existing accessors maintain their existing behavior by
first looking up the task_struct and then calling these new accessors.
A 64-bit variant of the DumpStatsPCEvent class is added that uses these
new accessors to get the task details for the context switch dumps
directly from the task_struct passed to __switch_to().

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.

Instructions that use the coprocessor interface check the current
program status to determine whether the current context has the
priviledges to read from/write to the coprocessor. Some modes allow
the execution of coprocessor instructions, some others do not allow it,
while some other modes are unexpected (e.g., executing an AArch32
instruction while being in an AArch64 mode).
Previously we would unconditionally trigger a panic if we were in an
unexpected mode. This change removes the panic and replaces it
with an Undefined Instruction fault that triggers if and when a
coprocessor instruction commits in an unexpected mode. This allows
speculative coprocessor instructions from unexpected modes to execute
but prevents them from gettting committed.

Modifies the clone system call and adds execve system call. Requires allowing
processes to steal thread contexts from other processes in the same system
object and the ability to detach pieces of process state (such as MemState)
to allow dynamic sharing.

This changeset adds functionality that allows system calls to retry without
affecting thread context state such as the program counter or register values
for the associated thread context (when system calls return with a retry
fault).
This functionality is needed to solve problems with blocking system calls
in multi-process or multi-threaded simulations where information is passed
between processes/threads. Blocking system calls can cause deadlock because
the simulator itself is single threaded. There is only a single thread
servicing the event queue which can cause deadlock if the thread hits a
blocking system call instruction.
To illustrate the problem, consider two processes using the producer/consumer
sharing model. The processes can use file descriptors and the read and write
calls to pass information to one another. If the consumer calls the blocking
read system call before the producer has produced anything, the call will
block the event queue (while executing the system call instruction) and
deadlock the simulation.
The solution implemented in this changeset is to recognize that the system
calls will block and then generate a special retry fault. The fault will
be sent back up through the function call chain until it is exposed to the
cpu model's pipeline where the fault becomes visible. The fault will trigger
the cpu model to replay the instruction at a future tick where the call has
a chance to succeed without actually going into a blocking state.
In subsequent patches, we recognize that a syscall will block by calling a
non-blocking poll (from inside the system call implementation) and checking
for events. When events show up during the poll, it signifies that the call
would not have blocked and the syscall is allowed to proceed (calling an
underlying host system call if necessary). If no events are returned from the
poll, we generate the fault and try the instruction for the thread context
at a distant tick. Note that retrying every tick is not efficient.
As an aside, the simulator has some multi-threading support for the event
queue, but it is not used by default and needs work. Even if the event queue
was completely multi-threaded, meaning that there is a hardware thread on
the host servicing a single simulator thread contexts with a 1:1 mapping
between them, it's still possible to run into deadlock due to the event queue
barriers on quantum boundaries. The solution of replaying at a later tick
is the simplest solution and solves the problem generally.

CPU models (e.g., O3CPU) issue instruction fetches for the whole cache
block rather than a specific instruction. Consequently the TLB lookups
translate the cache block virtual address. When the TLB lookup fails,
however, the Prefetch Abort must be raised for the PC of the
instruction that caused the fault rather than for the address of the
block.
This change fixes the way we instantiate the PrefetchAbort faults to
use the PC of the request rather the address of the instruction fetch
request.

Moves aux_vector into its own .hh and .cc files just to get it out of the
already crowded Process files. Arguably, it could stay there, but it's
probably better just to move it and give it files.
The changeset looks ugly around the Process header file, but the goal here is
to move methods and members around so that they're not defined randomly
throughout the entire header file. I expect this is likely one of the reasons
why I several unused variables related to this class. So, the methods are
declared first followed by members. I've tried to aggregate them together
so that similar entries reside near one another.
There are other changes coming to this code so this is by no means the
final product.

The EIOProcess class was removed recently and it was the only other class
which derived from Process. Since every Process invocation is also a
LiveProcess invocation, it makes sense to simplify the organization by
combining the fields from LiveProcess into Process.

KvmGic functionality has been subsumed within the new MuxingKvmGic
model, which has Pl390 fallback when not using KVM for fast emulation.
This simplifies configuration and will enable checkpointing between
KVM emulation and full-system simulation.

This device allows us to, when KVM support is detected and compiled in,
instantiate the same Gic device whether the actual simulation is with
KVM cores or simulated cores. Checkpointing is not yet supported.

A KVM VM is typically a child of the System object already, but for
solving future issues with configuration graph resolution, the most
logical way to keep track of this object is for it to be an actual
parameter of the System object.
