2018-07-25mem-cache: TempCacheBlk allocates and destroys its own dataRobert Kovacsics
This change is because I want to make CacheBlk::data private, so that I can track all the places which write to it. But to keep that commit smaller (it is pretty big, because of all the places which might change it), I have split this into a commit of its own.

2018-06-22mem-cache: Promote deferred targets on cache clean responsesNikos Nikoleris
While a cache clean operation is pending, all requests to the corresponding block get deferred. When the response of a cache clean operation is received, if the block is present and the response is not invalidating, we can service all deferred targets that didn't require writable. This change implements this functionality.

2018-06-22mem-cache: Fix promoting of targets that need writableNikos Nikoleris
There are cases where a request which does not need a writable copy gets an response upgraded reponse and fills in a writable copy. When this happens, we promote deferred MSHR targets that were deferred because they needed a writable copy to service them immediately. Previously, we would uncoditionally promote deferred targets. Since the deferred targets might contain a cache invalidation operation, we have to make sure that any targets following the cache invalidation is not promoted.

AtomicOpFunctor can be used to implement atomic memory operations. AtomicOpFunctor is captured inside a memory request and executed directly in the memory hierarchy in a single step. This patch enables AtomicOpFunctor pointers to be included in a memory request and executed in a single step in the classic cache system. This patch also makes the copy constructor of Request class do a deep copy of AtomicOpFunctor object. This prevents a copy of a Request object from accessing a deleted AtomicOpFunctor object.

2018-06-08mem-cache: Return evictions along with victimsDaniel R. Carvalho
For both sector and compressed caches multiple blocks may need to be evicted in order to make room for a new block. For example, when replacing a sector, all the blocks in this sector must be evicted. A replacement, however, does not always need to evict multiple blocks, as it is in the case of an insertion of a block whose sector is already present in the cache (i.e., its corresponding entry in the sector had not been brought in yet, so it was invalid). This patch creates the cache framework for that to happen.

2018-05-08mem-cache: Create block insertion functionDaniel R. Carvalho
Create a block insertion function to be used when inserting blocks. This resets the number of references to 1 (the insertion is taken into account), sets the insertion tick, and set secure state.

2018-05-03mem-cache: Create Second-Chance replacement policyDaniel R. Carvalho
Implementation of a Second-Chance replacement policy. Similar to FIFO, but every block is given a second chance if it has been touched.

2018-05-03mem-cache: ReplacementPolicy specific replacement dataDaniel R. Carvalho
Replacement data is specific for each replacement policy, and thus should be instantiated differently by each policy. Touch() and reset() do not need to be aware of CacheBlk, as they only update its ReplacementData. Invalidate() makes replacement policies independent of cache blocks, by removing the awareness of the valid state. An inheritable base ReplaceableEntry class was created to allow usage of replacement policies with any table-like structure.

2018-04-27sim,cpu,mem,arch: Introduced MasterInfo data structureGiacomo Travaglini
With this patch a gem5 System will store more info about its Masters. While it was previously keeping track of the Master name and Master ID only, it is now adding a per-Master pointer to the SimObject related to the Master. This will make it possible for a client to query a System for a Master using either the master's name or the master's pointer.

2018-04-26mem-cache: Use block iteration in BaseSetAssocDaniel R. Carvalho
Use block iteration instead of numSets and assoc in print(), cleanupRefs() and computeStats(). This makes these functions rely solely on what they are used for: printing and calculating stats of blocks. With the addition of Sectors an extra indirection level is added, and thus these functions would be skipping blocks.

2018-04-19mem-cache: Use findBlock in FALRU's block accessDaniel R. Carvalho
An access must perform a block search, which is done by findBlock. The tagHash is indexed by tags, so use extractTag instead of re- implementing its functionality.
