TheISA::initCPU is basically an ISA specific implementation of reset
logic on architectural state. As such, it only needs to be called if
we're not going to load a checkpoint, ie in initState.
Also, since the implementation was the same across all CPUs, this
change collapses all the individual implementations down into the base
CPU class.

The logic that determines which syscall to call was built into the
implementation of faults/exceptions or even into the instruction
decoder, but that logic can depend on what OS is being used, and
sometimes even what version, for example 32bit vs. 64bit.
This change pushes that logic up into the Process objects since those
already handle a lot of the aspects of emulating the guest OS. Instead,
the ISA or fault implementations just notify the rest of the system
that a nebulous syscall has happened, and that gets propogated upward
until the process does something with it. That's very analogous to how
a system call would work on a real machine.
When a system call happens, the low level component which detects that
should call tc->syscall(&fault), where tc is the relevant thread (or
execution) context, and fault is a Fault which can ultimately be set
by the system call implementation.
The TC implementor (probably a CPU) will then have a chance to do
whatever it needs to to handle a system call. Currently only O3 does
anything special here. That implementor will end up calling the
Process's syscall() method.
Once in Process::syscall, the process object will use it's contextual
knowledge to determine what system call is being requested. It then
calls Process::doSyscall with the right syscall number, where doSyscall
centralizes the common mechanism for actually retrieving and calling
into the system call implementation.

There is a check on a global flag denoting that the simulator
has been configured to run in fullsystem mode. The check is
conducted at runtime during calls to syscall methods.
The high-level models are checking the flag when the check
could be conducted further down the call chain (nearer to the
actual Process invocation). Moving the checks should result
in less copy-pasta as new models are developed. It might be
argued that the checks should stay in place since an error
would detected earlier; that may be true, but the error
would be the same and the simulation should fail in either
case. This arrangement requires fewer lines of code.
The changeset also changes the check into a fatal error
instead of a panic since usage (in fs mode) should result
in immediate corruption.

It doesn't matter if the bytes are converted before or after they're
fed into the decoder. The ISA already knows what endianness to use
implicitly, and this frees the CPU which doesn't from having to worry

This was useful when transitioning away from the CPU based

This was initially added in 2003 and only supported in the simple CPUs.
It's oddly specific since there are no other similar event queues for,
for instance, stores, branches, system calls, etc.
Given that this seems like a historical oddity which is only partially
supported and would be very hard to support on more diverse CPU types
like KVM or fast model which don't generally have hooks for counts of
specific instruction types.

This queue was set up to allow triggering events based on the total
number of instructions executed at the system level, and was added in
a change which added a number of things to support McPAT. No code
checked into gem5 actually schedules an event on that queue, and no
code in McPAT (which seems to have gone dormant) either downloadable
from github or found in ext modify gem5 in a way that makes it use
the instEventQueue.
Also, the KVM CPU does not interact with the instEventQueue correctly.
While it does check the per-thread instruction event queue when
deciding how long to run, it does not check the instEventQueue. It will
poke it to run events when it stops for other reasons, but it may (and
likely will) have run beyond the point where it was supposed to stop.
Since this queue doesn't seem to actually be used for anything, isn't
being used properly in all cases anyway, and adds overhead to all the
CPU models, this change eliminates it.

This change creates a new type AtomicOpFunctor_ptr as a

No caller uses any of the MasterPort specific properties of these
function's return values, so we can instead return a reference to the
base Port class. This makes it possible for the data and inst ports
to be of any port type, not just gem5 style MasterPorts. This makes
life simpler for, for example, systemc based CPUs which might have TLM
ports.
It also makes it possible for any two CPUs which have compatible ports
to be switched between, as long as the ports they use support being
unbound. Unfortunately that does not include TLM or systemc ports which
are bound permanently.

Then cast to the ISA specific type when necessary. This removes
(mostly) an ISA specific aspect to some of the interfaces. The ISA
specific version of the kernel stats still needs to be constructed and
stored in a few places which means that kernel_stats.hh still needs to
be a switching arch header, for instance.
In the future, I'd like to make the kernel its own object like the
Process objects in SE mode, and then it would be able to instantiate

This patch enables all 4 CPU models (AtomicSimpleCPU, TimingSimpleCPU,
MinorCPU and DerivO3CPU) to issue atomic memory (AMO) requests to memory
system.
Atomic memory instruction is treated as a special store instruction in
all CPU models.
In simple CPUs, an AMO request with an associated AtomicOpFunctor is
simply sent to L1 dcache.
In MinorCPU, an AMO request bypasses store buffer and waits for any
conflicting store request(s) currently in the store buffer to retire
before the AMO request is sent to the cache. AMO requests are not buffered
in the store buffer, so their effects appear immediately in the cache.
In DerivO3CPU, an AMO request is inserted in the store buffer so that it
is delivered to the cache only after all previous stores are issued to
the cache. Data forwarding between between an outstanding AMO in the
store buffer and a subsequent load is not allowed since the AMO request
does not hold valid data until it's executed in the cache.
This implementation assumes that a target ISA implementation must insert
enough memory fences as micro-ops around an atomic instruction to
enforce a correct order of memory instructions with respect to its
memory consistency model. Without extra memory fences, this implementation
can allow AMOs and other memory instructions that do not conflict
(i.e., not target the same address) to reorder.
This implementation also assumes that atomic instructions execute within
a cache line boundary since the cache for now is not able to execute an
operation on two different cache lines in one single step. Therefore,
ISAs like x86 that require multi-cache-line atomic instructions need to
either use a pair of locking load and unlocking store or change the
cache implementation to guarantee the atomicity of an atomic
instruction.

(a 64 bit pointer vs. a 64 bit int) is being passed around.

These types are IntReg, FloatReg, FloatRegBits, and MiscReg. There are
some remaining types, specifically the vector registers and the CCReg.
I'm less familiar with these new types of registers, and so will look
at getting rid of them at some later time.

Summary: Usage of const DynInstPtr& when possible and introduction of
move operators to RefCountingPtr.
In many places, scoped references to dynamic instructions do a copy of
the DynInstPtr when a reference would do. This is detrimental to
performance. On top of that, in case there is a need for reference
tracking for debugging, the redundant copies make the process much more
painful than it already is.
Also, from the theoretical point of view, a function/method that
defines a convenience name to access an instruction should not be
considered an owner of the data, i.e., doing a copy and not a reference
is not justified.
On a related topic, C++11 introduces move semantics, and those are
useful when, for example, there is a class modelling a HW structure that
contains a list, and has a getHeadOfList function, to prevent doing a
copy to an internal variable -> update pointer, remove from the list ->
update pointer, return value making a copy to the assined variable ->
update pointer, destroy the returned value -> update pointer.

The AtomicSimpleCPU used to be able to access memory directly to speed
up simulation if no caches are used. This is fine as long as no
switching between CPU models is required. In order to switch to a new
CPU model that requires caches, we currently need to checkpoint the
system and restore it into a new configuration. The new
'atomic_noncaching' memory mode provides a solution that avoids this
issue since caches are bypassed in this mode. This changeset removes
the old fastmem option from the AtomicSimpleCPU and introduces a new
CPU, NonCachingSimpleCPU, which derives from the AtomicSimpleCPU.
The NonCachingSimpleCPU uses the same mechanism as the AtomicSimpleCPU
used to use when accessing memory in when fastmem was enabled.
This changeset also introduces a new switcheroo test that tests
switching between a NonCachingSimpleCPU and a TimingSimpleCPU with
caches.

In TimingSimpleCPU model, when a CPU is suspended by a syscall (e.g.,
futex(FUTEX_WAIT)), the CPU waits for another CPU to wake it up
(e.g., FUTEX_WAKE operation). While staying Idle, the suspended CPU
should not try to fetch next instructions after the syscall.
This patch added a status check before a CPU schedule a fetch event
after a fault is handled.

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.
