This avoids having a copy in the lookup function itself, and the
declaration of a lot of temporary TLB entry pointers in callers. The
gpu TLB seems to have had the most dependence on the original signature
of the lookup function, partially because it was relying on a somewhat
unsafe copy to a TLB entry using a base class pointer type.

CPUs have historically instantiated the architecture specific version
of the TLBs to avoid a virtual function call, making them a little bit
more dependent on what the current ISA is. Some simple performance
measurement, the x86 twolf regression on the atomic CPU, shows that
there isn't actually any performance benefit, and if anything the
simulator goes slightly faster (although still within margin of error)
when the TLB functions are virtual.
This change switches everything outside of the architectures themselves
to use the generic BaseTLB type, and then inside the ISA for them to
cast that to their architecture specific type to call into architecture
specific interfaces.
The ARM TLB needed the most adjustment since it was using non-standard
translation function signatures. Specifically, they all took an extra
"type" parameter which defaulted to normal, and translateTiming
returned a Fault. translateTiming actually doesn't need to return a
Fault because everywhere that consumed it just stored it into a
structure which it then deleted(?), and the fault is stored in the
Translation object when the translation is done.
A little more work is needed to fully obviate the arch/tlb.hh header,
so the TheISA::TLB type is still visible outside of the ISAs.
Specifically, the TlbEntry type is used in the generic PageTable which
lives in src/mem.

Used cppclean to help identify useless includes and removed them. This
involved erroneously included headers, but also cases where forward
declarations could have been used rather than a full include.

This patch moves away from using M5_ATTR_OVERRIDE and the m5::hashmap
(and similar) abstractions, as these are no longer needed with gcc 4.7
and clang 3.1 as minimum compiler versions.

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.

The TLB-related code is generally architecture dependent and should
live in the arch directory to signify that.

This patch takes quite a large step in transitioning from the ad-hoc
RefCountingPtr to the c++11 shared_ptr by adopting its use for all
Faults. There are no changes in behaviour, and the code modifications
are mostly just replacing "new" with "make_shared".

The ARM TLBs have a bootUncacheability flag used to make some loads
and stores become uncacheable when booting in FS mode. Later the
flag is cleared to let those loads and stores operate as normal. When
doing a takeOverFrom(), this flag's state is not preserved and is
momentarily reset until the CPSR is touched. On single core runs this
is a non-issue. On multi-core runs this can lead to crashes on the O3
CPU model from the following series of events:
1) takeOverFrom executed to switch from Atomic -> O3
2) All bootUncacheability flags are reset to true
3) Core2 tries to execute a load covered by bootUncacheability, it
is flagged as uncacheable
4) Core2's load needs to replay due to a pipeline flush
3) Core1 core does an action on CPSR
4) The handling code for CPSR then checks all other cores
to determine if bootUncacheability can be set to false
5) Asynchronously set bootUncacheability on all cores to false
6) Core2 replays load previously set as uncacheable and notices
it is now flagged as cacheable, leads to a panic.
This patch implements takeOverFrom() functionality for the ARM TLBs
to preserve flag values when switching from atomic -> detailed.

This patch adds checkpointing support to x86 tlb. It upgrades the
cpt_upgrader.py script so that previously created checkpoints can
be updated. It moves the checkpoint version to 6.

in the TLB
Some architectures (currently only x86) require some fixing-up of
physical addresses after a normal address translation. This is usually
to remap devices such as the APIC, but could be used for other memory
mapped devices as well. When running the CPU in a using hardware
virtualization, we still need to do these address fix-ups before
inserting the request into the memory system. This patch moves this
patch allows that code to be used by such CPUs without doing full
address translations.

This patch adds support for the memInvalidate() drain method. TLB
flushing is requested by calling the virtual flushAll() method on the
TLB.
Note: This patch renames invalidateAll() to flushAll() on x86 and
SPARC to make the interface consistent across all supported
architectures.

This patch adds an additional level of ports in the inheritance
hierarchy, separating out the protocol-specific and protocl-agnostic
parts. All the functionality related to the binding of ports is now
confined to use BaseMaster/BaseSlavePorts, and all the
protocol-specific parts stay in the Master/SlavePort. In the future it
will be possible to add other protocol-specific implementations.
The functions used in the binding of ports, i.e. getMaster/SlavePort
now use the base classes, and the index parameter is updated to use
the PortID typedef with the symbolic InvalidPortID as the default.

This change also adjusts the TlbEntry class so that it stores the number of
address bits wide a page is rather than its size in bytes. In other words,
instead of storing 4K for a 4K page, it stores 12. 12 is easy to turn into 4K,
but it's a little harder going the other way.

This patch introduces the notion of a master and slave port in the C++
code, thus bringing the previous classification from the Python
classes into the corresponding simulation objects and memory objects.
The patch enables us to classify behaviours into the two bins and add
assumptions and enfore compliance, also simplifying the two
interfaces. As a starting point, isSnooping is confined to a master
port, and getAddrRanges to slave ports. More of these specilisations
are to come in later patches.
The getPort function is not getMasterPort and getSlavePort, and
returns a port reference rather than a pointer as NULL would never be
a valid return value. The default implementation of these two
functions is placed in MemObject, and calls fatal.
The one drawback with this specific patch is that it requires some
code duplication, e.g. QueuedPort becomes QueuedMasterPort and
QueuedSlavePort, and BusPort becomes BusMasterPort and BusSlavePort
(avoiding multiple inheritance). With the later introduction of the
port interfaces, moving the functionality outside the port itself, a
lot of the duplicated code will disappear again.

Making the CheckerCPU a runtime time option requires the code to be compatible

This patch adds a function to X86 tlb that returns the
walker port. This port is required for correctly connecting
the walker ports for the cpu just switched in

Move page table walker state to its own object type, and make the
walker instantiate state for each outstanding walk. By storing the
states in a queue, the walker is able to handle multiple outstanding
timing requests. Note that functional walks use separate state
elements.

Also move the "Fault" reference counted pointer type into a separate file,
sim/fault.hh. It would be better to name this less similarly to sim/faults.hh
to reduce confusion, but fault.hh matches the name of the type. We could change
Fault to FaultPtr to match other pointer types, and then changing the name of
the file would make more sense.

The page table now stores actual page table entries. It is still a templated
