Right now, there are only two places which call the pseudoInst function
directly, the ARM KVM CPU and the generic mmapped IPR. These two
callers currently use the generic "PseudoInstABI" which is just a
wrapper around the existing getArgument function.
In the future, this getArgument function will be disolved, and the
PseudoInstABI will be defined for each ABI. Since it currently mimics
the Linux ABI since gem5 can only handle one ABI at a time right now,
this implementation will probably be shared by linux system calls,
except that the pseudo inst implementation will eat return values since
those are returned through other means when the pseudo inst is based on
magic address ranges.

This expands those functions into code which extracts the virt proxy
and then uses the appropriate method on it. This has two benefits.
First, the Copy* functions where mostly redundant wrappers around the
methods the proxy port already had. Second, using them forced a
particular port which might not actually be what the user wanted.

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
and maintain its own stats.

This patch adds the ability for an application to request dist-gem5 to begin/
end synchronization using an m5 op. When toggling on sync, all nodes agree
on the next sync point based on the maximum of all nodes' ticks. CPUs are
suspended until the sync point to avoid sending network messages until sync has
been enabled. Toggling off sync acts like a global execution barrier, where
all CPUs are disabled until every node reaches the toggle off point. This
avoids tricky situations such as one node hitting a toggle off followed by a
toggle on before the other nodes hit the first toggle off.

The quiesce family of magic ops can be simplified by the inclusion of
quiesceTick() and quiesce() functions on ThreadContext. This patch also
gets rid of the FS guards, since suspending a CPU is also a valid
operation for SE mode.

This patch adds SMT support to the MinorCPU. Currently
RoundRobin or Random thread scheduling are supported.

This changeset adds support for changing the simulator output
directory. This can be useful when the simulation goes through several
stages (e.g., a warming phase, a simulation phase, and a verification
phase) since it allows the output from each stage to be located in a
different directory. Relocation is done by calling core.setOutputDir()
from Python or simout.setOutputDirectory() from C++.
This change affects several parts of the design of the gem5's output
subsystem. First, files returned by an OutputDirectory instance (e.g.,
simout) are of the type OutputStream instead of a std::ostream. This
allows us to do some more book keeping and control re-opening of files
when the output directory is changed. Second, new subdirectories are
OutputDirectory instances, which should be used to create files in
that sub-directory.

Distributed gem5 (abbreviated dist-gem5) is the result of the
convergence effort between multi-gem5 and pd-gem5 (from Univ. of
Wisconsin). It relies on the base multi-gem5 infrastructure for packet
forwarding, synchronisation and checkpointing but combines those with
the elaborated network switch model from pd-gem5.

There are cases where we want the Python world to handle work items
instead of the C++ world. However, that's currently not possible. This
changeset adds the forward_work_items option to the System class. Then
it is set to True, work items will generate workbegin/workend
simulation exists with the work item ID as the exit code and the old
C++ handling is completely bypassed.

The writefile pseudo instruction uses OutputDirectory::create and
OutputDirectory::openFile to create the output files. However, by
default these will check the file extention for .gz, and create a gzip
compressed stream if the file ending matches. When writing out files,
we want to write them out exactly as they are in the guest simulation,
and never want to compress them with gzio. Additionally, this causes
m5 writefile to fail when checking the error flags for the output
steam.
With this patch we add an additional no_gz argument to
OutputDirectory::create and OutputDirectory::openFile which allows us
to override the gzip compression. Therefore, for m5 writefile we
disable the filename check, and always create a standard ostream.

The O3CPU blocks the Fetch when it sees a quiesce instruction (IsQuiesce flag).
When the inst. is executed, a quiesce event is created to reactivate the
context and unblock the Fetch.
If the quiesceNs or quiesceCycles are called with a value of 0, the
QuiesceEvent will not be created and the Fetch stage will remain blocked.

This patch adds methods in KvmCPU model to handle KVM exits caused by syscall
instructions and page faults. These types of exits will be encountered if
KvmCPU is run in SE mode.

SimLoopExitEvents weren't serialized by default. Some benchmarks
utilize a delayed m5 exit pseudo op call to terminate the simulation
and this event was lost when resuming from a checkpoint generated
after the pseudo op call. This patch adds the capability to serialize
the SimLoopExitEvents and enable serialization for m5_exit and m5_fail
pseudo ops by default. Does not affect other generic
SimLoopExitEvents.

All architectures execute m5 pseudo instructions by setting up
arguments according to the ABI and executing a magic instruction that
contains an operation number. Handling of such instructions is
currently spread across the different ISA implementations. This
changeset introduces the PseudoInst::pseudoInst function which handles
most of this in an architecture independent way. This is function is
mainly intended to be used from KVM, but can also be used from the
simulated CPUs.

Used as a command in full-system scripts helps the user ensure the benchmarks have finished successfully.
For example, one can use:
/path/to/benchmark args || /sbin/m5 fail 1
and thus ensure gem5 will exit with an error if the benchmark fails.

This patch addresses the comments and feedback on the preceding patch
that reworks the clocks and now more clearly shows where cycles
(relative cycle counts) are used to express time.
Instead of bumping the existing patch I chose to make this a separate
patch, merely to try and focus the discussion around a smaller set of
changes. The two patches will be pushed together though.
This changes done as part of this patch are mostly following directly
from the introduction of the wrapper class, and change enough code to
make things compile and run again. There are definitely more places
where int/uint/Tick is still used to represent cycles, and it will
take some time to chase them all down. Similarly, a lot of parameters
should be changed from Param.Tick and Param.Unsigned to
Param.Cycles.
In addition, the use of curTick is questionable as there should not be
an absolute cycle. Potential solutions can be built on top of this
patch. There is a similar situation in the o3 CPU where
lastRunningCycle is currently counting in Cycles, and is still an
absolute time. More discussion to be had in other words.
An additional change that would be appropriate in the future is to
perform a similar wrapping of Tick and probably also introduce a
Ticks class along with suitable operators for all these classes.

This patch prevents not executed conditional instructions marked as
IsQuiesce from stalling the pipeline indefinitely. If the instruction
is not executed the quiesceSkip psuedoinst is called which schedules a
wakes up call to the fetch stage.

This step makes it easy to replace the accessor functions
(which still access a global variable) with ones that access
per-thread curTick values.

This follows the style rules and is more descriptive.

Avoid direct references to mainEventQueue in pseudo-insts
by indirecting through associated CPU object.
Made exitSimLoop() more flexible to enable some of these.
