Starting with version 3, scons imposes using the print function instead
of the print statement in code it processes. To get things building
again, this change moves all python code within gem5 to use the
function version. Another change by another author separately made this
same change to the site_tools and site_init.py files.

This patch adds an extra layer to the pyfdt library such that usage
gets easier and device tree nodes can be specified in less code,
without limiting original usage. Note to not import both the pyfdt
and fdthelper in the same namespace (but generally fdthelper is all
you need, because it supplies the same classes even when they are not
extended in any way)
Also, this patch lays out the primary functionality for generating a
device tree, where every SimObject gets an empty generateDeviceTree
method and ArmSystems loop over their children in an effort to merge
all the nodes. Devices are implemented in other patches.

This patch adds pyfdt.py to the m5.ext module. This is used in
succeeding patches for generating and editing dtb files and flat
device trees for DT autogeneration.
The file is in the m5_root/src/python/m5/ext directory, as opposed to
the m5_root/ext, because this library is part of the m5 object space
and linking to the m5_root/ext directory from the SConscript file
in src/python can not be done reliably. Linking from the root level
SConscript is also not an option, because it doesn't have the PySource
method defined.

The python conversion module was really repetitive and fragmented,
where some types of conversions use common code, and some use hand
written case statements which did something very similar. Also, some
types like Voltage could only handle V and mV but no other scaling
prefix.
This change restructures the module to centralize a lot of the unit
handling code into toFloat, and makes the various other functions use
it.

The existing code was essentially doing the same thing, but in a more
roundabout and obscure way. One difference between the two versions is that
I believe this will stop as soon as it encounters an element without a
parent, where the original version would call has_parent() on all the
elements regardless.

NullSimObject doesn't have a has_parent function, and it's not clear what its
return value should be if one were added. The appropriate value seems to
depend on why some other bit of code is checking if there's a parent in the
first place.
In SimObjectVector, the has_parent function is checking whether all of its
elements have a parent. In this particular case, the most reasonable thing
to do seems to be to just skip those elements.

Previously proxy vector parameters would resolve correctly only for
Parent.all. Any other proxy such as Parent.any, or exact ones such as
Parent.addr_range would resolve to a *vector* of the right value
resulting into a vector of a vector. For example if we set:
DirectoryController0.addr_range = [0x100000-0x1fffff, 0x200000-0x2fffff]
DirectoryMemory0.addr_range = Parent.addr_range
where DirectoryController0 is the parent SimObject of DirectoryMemory0
after unproxying the Parent.addr_range VectorParam we would get
DirectoryMemory0.addr_range = [[0x100000-0x1fffff, 0x200000-0x2fffff]]
This change unifies handling of all three proxies to the same correct
unproxy mechanism.

The current implementation of reference counting for PyEvents only
partially works. The native object is currently kept alive while it is
in the event queue. However, if the Python object goes out of scope,
the Python side of this object is garbage collected which leaves a
"dangling" native object. This results in confusing error messages
where PyBind is unable to find the Python implementation of an event
when it is triggered.
Implement reference counting using the generalized reference counting
API instead.

The PyBind wrappers could potentially delete SimObjects if they don't
have any references. This is not desirable since there could be
pointers to such objects within the C++ world. This problem doesn't
normally occur since Python typically holds a pointer to the root node
as long as the simulator is running.
Prevent SimObject and Param deletion by using a PyBind-prescribed
unique_ptr with a dummy deleter as the pointer wrapper for the Python
world.

There is a weird issue with the PyBind wrapper of
vector<AddrRange>. Assigning new values to a param that is a vector of
AddrRange sometimes results in an out-of-bounds memory access.
We work around this issue by treating AddrRange vectors as opaque
types. This slightly changes the semantics of the wrapper since Python
now manipulates the real object rather than a copy that has been
converted to a list.

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.

Add a mechanism to configure the stat output format using a URL-like
syntax. This makes it possible to specify both an output format
(currently, only text is supported) and override default
parameters.
On the Python-side, this is implemented using a helper function
(m5.stats.addStatVisitor) that adds a visitor to the list of active
stat visitors. The helper function parses a URL-like stat
specification to determine the stat output type. Optional parameters
can be specified to change how stat visitors behave.
For example, to output stats in text format without stat descriptions:
m5.stats.addStatVisitor("text://stats.txt?desc=False")
From the command line:
gem5.opt --stats-file="text://stats.txt?desc=False"
Internally, the stat framework uses the _url_factory decorator
to wrap a Python function with the fn(path, **kwargs) signature in a
function that takes a parsed URL as its only argument. The path and
keyword arguments are automatically derived from the URL in the
wrapper function.
New output formats can be registered in the m5.stats.factories
dictionary. This dictionary contains a mapping between format names
(URL schemes) and factory methods.
To retain backwards compatibility, the code automatically assumes that
the user wants text output if no format has been specified (i.e., when
specifying a plain path).

This patch adds a secondary dot output file which shows the DVFS domains. This

This changeset adds forking capabilities to the gem5 python scripts. A fork
method is added to simulate.py. This method is responsible for forking the
simulator itself, and will direct all output files to a new output directory
based on the fork sequence number. The default name of the output directory is
the same as the parent with the suffix ".fN" added where N is the fork sequence
number. The fork method provides the option to specify if the system should be
drained prior to forking, or not. By default the system is drained to ensure
that there are no in-flight transactions.
When forking the simulator, the fork method returns the PID of the child
process, or returns 0 if running in the child. This is in line with the standard
Python forking interface.

comment "must be in ticks" is now redundant.

By ignoring SIG_TRAP, using --debug-break <N> when not connected to
a debugger becomes a no-op. Apparently this was intended to be a
feature, though the rationale is not clear.
If we don't ignore SIG_TRAP, then using --debug-break <N> when not
connected to a debugger causes the simulation process to terminate
at tick N. This is occasionally useful, e.g., if you just want to
collect a trace for a specific window of execution then you can combine
this with --debug-start to do exactly that.
In addition to not ignoring the signal, this patch also updates
the --debug-break help message and deletes a handful of unprotected
calls to Debug::breakpoint() that relied on the prior behavior.

The gem5 option '--list-sim-objects' is supposed to list all available
SimObjects and their parameters. It currently chokes on SimObjects
with parameters that have an object instance as their default
value. This is caused by __str__ in SimObject trying to resolve its
complete path. When the path resolution method reaches the parent
object (a MetaSimObject since it hasn't been instantiated), it dies
with a Python exception.
This changeset adds a guard to stop path resolution if the parent
object is a MetaSimObject.

Added the missing types EthernetAddr and Current to the JSON/INI file
reader example configs/example/read_config.py.
Also added __str__ to EthernetAddr to make values appear in the same form
in JSON an INI files.

This information is useful if you have a bunch of simulations running
and want to know which one to kill, but you've neglected to take
advantage of the previous patch and embed the pid in your output path.
