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.

Some of the functions in the Linux toolchain that allocate memory make
use of paired LR and SC instructions, which didn't work properly for
that toolchain. This patch fixes that so attempting to use those
functions doesn't cause an endless loop of failed SC instructions.

RISC-V makes use of load-reserved and store-conditional instructions to
enable creation of lock-free concurrent data manipulation as well as
ACQUIRE and RELEASE semantics for memory ordering of LR, SC, and AMO
instructions (the latter of which do not follow LR/SC semantics). This
patch is a correction to patch 4, which added these instructions to the
implementation of RISC-V. It modifies locked_mem.hh and the
implementations of lr.w, sc.w, lr.d, and sc.d to apply the proper gem5
flags and return the proper values.
An important difference between gem5's LLSC semantics and RISC-V's LR/SC
ones, beyond the name, is that gem5 uses 0 to indicate failure and 1 to
indicate success, while RISC-V is the opposite. Strictly speaking, RISC-V
uses 0 to indicate success and nonzero to indicate failure where the
value would indicate the error, but currently only 1 is reserved as a
failure code by the ISA reference.
This is the seventh patch in the series which originally consisted of five
patches that added the RISC-V ISA to gem5. The original five patches added
all of the instructions and added support for more detailed CPU models and
the sixth patch corrected the implementations of Linux constants and
structs. There will be an eighth patch that adds some regression tests
for the instructions.
[Removed some commented-out code from locked_mem.hh.]

Last of five patches adding RISC-V to GEM5. This patch adds support for
timing, minor, and detailed CPU models that was missing in the last four,
which basically consists of handling timing-mode memory accesses and
telling the minor and detailed models what a no-op instruction should
be (addi zero, zero, 0).
Patches 1-4 introduced RISC-V and implemented the base instruction set,
RV64I, and added the multiply, floating point, and atomic memory
extensions, RV64MAFD.
[Fixed compatibility with edit from patch 1.]
[Fixed compatibility with hg copy edit from patch 1.]
[Fixed some style errors in locked_mem.hh.]

First of five patches adding RISC-V to GEM5. This patch introduces the
base 64-bit ISA (RV64I) in src/arch/riscv for use with syscall emulation.
The multiply, floating point, and atomic memory instructions will be added
in additional patches, as well as support for more detailed CPU models.
The loader is also modified to be able to parse RISC-V ELF files, and a
"Hello world\!" example for RISC-V is added to test-progs.
Patch 2 will implement the multiply extension, RV64M; patch 3 will implement
the floating point (single- and double-precision) extensions, RV64FD;
patch 4 will implement the atomic memory instructions, RV64A, and patch 5
will add support for timing, minor, and detailed CPU models that is missing
from the first four patches (such as handling locked memory).
[Removed several unused parameters and imports from RiscvInterrupts.py,
RiscvISA.py, and RiscvSystem.py.]
[Fixed copyright information in RISC-V files copied from elsewhere that had
ARM licenses attached.]
[Reorganized instruction definitions in decoder.isa so that they are sorted
by opcode in preparation for the addition of ISA extensions M, A, F, D.]
[Fixed formatting of several files, removed some variables and
instructions that were missed when moving them to other patches, fixed
RISC-V Foundation copyright attribution, and fixed history of files
copied from other architectures using hg copy.]
[Fixed indentation of switch cases in isa.cc.]
[Reorganized syscall descriptions in linux/process.cc to remove large
number of repeated unimplemented system calls and added implmementations
to functions that have received them since it process.cc was first
created.]
[Fixed spacing for some copyright attributions.]
[Replaced the rest of the file copies using hg copy.]
[Fixed style check errors and corrected unaligned memory accesses.]
[Fix some minor formatting mistakes.]
