2018-10-09systemc: Change how the scheduler orders processes.Gabe Black
The Accellera implementation looks like it does all the methods, then all the threads, and then loops back and tries again, and there are even comments in the code that suggests that. What it actually does, however, is runs all the methods, then runs a single thread if one is waiting, and then starts over. The effect is that the scheduler will run any methods first, then run threads until a method might have become ready, and then repeat. This will actually result in more mixing of threads and methods, more context switches, and worse performance, but it makes the regressions pass more.

2018-10-09systemc: Rework how delayed sensitivities are handled.Gabe Black
Make BindInfo into a more general purpose Port class which mirrors sc_module and Module, sc_object and Object, etc. This tracks multiple bindings internally, and also pending sensitivities. Keep a global list of ports which are added in reverse order to match Accellera, and which is iterated over to finalize binding and for phase callbacks. This is as opposed to doing it one module at a time, and is to better match Accellera's ordering for the regressions. Also the sensitivity classes are now built with factory functions, which gets around problems calling virtual functions from their constructors or forgetting to having to have extra boilerplate each place they're constructed. The port class also now finalizes port or event finder sensitivities when its binding is completed, unless it's already complete in which case it does so immediately.

2018-10-09systemc: Refactor sensitivities.Gabe Black
Dynamic and Static sensitivities used to be represented by the same classes, even though they're (almost) disjoint in how they worked. Also timeouts, which can be used alongside dynamic sensitivities, were handled by the sensitivities themselves. That meant that the sensitivity mechanism had to mix in more types of behaviors, increasing complexity. Also, the non-standard timed_out function Accellera includes is harder to implement if the path for timeouts and regular sensitivities are mixed together. This change splits up dynamic and static sensitivities and splits out timeouts. It also immitates the ordering Accellera uses when going through sensitivities for an event. Static sensitivities are triggered first in reverse order (why?), and then dynamic sensitivities are triggered in what amounts to reverse order. To delete a sensitivity which has been handled, it's swapped with the one in the last position, and then the vector is truncated to drop it at the end. This has the net effect of stirring the dynamic sensitivities, and isn't easily immitated using a different approach, even if other approaches would be more straightforward.

We were keeping track of processes which should be initialized and those which shouldn't on two different lists, and then processing each list one after the other.

2018-10-09systemc: Match how Accellera schedules processes even more closely.Gabe Black
The Accellera implementation runs processes in a cycle where it first runs all the methods it has, then all the threads, and then starts again in case any new methods have been scheduled. This keeps methods and processes in the order they were marked ready (what a prior change made this scheduler do), but also keeps the methods together and the threads together (something it used to do, but that change made it stop doing). This change should make the gem5 scheduler match in both respects. Note that its correct to run the processes in whatever order we want, it's just that if we're going to compare against the "golden" output from the Accellera tests, we need to match the order to get sensible results.

2018-10-03systemc: Store timed notifications in a list instead of a set.Gabe Black
This has three advantages. First, the data structure doesn't have to try to keep track of whether or not an event is already listed there. Second, it's easier to delete an item by storing an iterator for it when it gets inserted. Third, the ordering of events is not dependent on the arbitrary ordering of the set, it's bsaed on the fixed order the events get added to the list. One part of this change makes ScEvent-s keep track of what list they're on, and handle their own insertion and deletion when they're scheduled or descheduled. A side effect of that is that it's no longer safe to simply use a range based for loop to loop over all of an ScEvent and deschedule all its events or to run then (which deschedules them internally once they execute). That can be avoided by looping until the list is empty, and operating on the first element. As the first element is processed and removed from the list, the next element will become first and will get picked up in the next iteration.

2018-10-03systemc: Make sure children of processes are recorded as such.Gabe Black
The process was treated as the parent of the object, but the object wasn't being installed as a child of the process.

2018-10-03systemc: Clamp the time of events to the present.Gabe Black
If systemc attempts to schedule an event in the past, schedule it for right now instead. Still preserve the difference between delta and timed events. This scheme doesn't really make a lot of sense (why not just disallow scheduling events in the past?) but this will approximate what I think the correct behavior is. What's probably supposed to happen is that events in the past are executed from most past to most present until they catch up with now, and then now advances as normal. Our approach is simpler, but won't preserve ordering between multiple events scheduled in the past.
