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.

This patch adds two regression tests that execute the script in the
configs dir for triggering low power mode transitions. A separate
test is required for each page policy because for close-adaptive
page policy the DRAM goes into the Precharge Power-down mode while
for open-adaptive page policy it goes into the Activate Power-down
mode.

We currently fail the stat diff stage of tests if there are new
stats. This is usually undesirable since this would require any change
that adds a stat to also update the regressions.

Previously ARM binaries were by default compiled with the MI_example
protocol. The MI_example protocol cannot properly support load/store
exclusive instructions and therefore it cannot be used to simulate
multicore ARM systems. This change changes to MOESI_CMP_directory as
the default ruby protocol for ARM systems.

Don't output verbose text descriptions in stat files when running
tests. This saves a lot of space when storing reference data.

Modify the ClassicTest class to only emit a stat verification test
unit if there is a reference stat file. This makes it possible to
design tests that don't care about stat changes.
To generate purely functional tests, we need to be able to create
empty test reference directories. This does not work well with many
revision control systems. As a workaround, add a file named EMPTY to
the list of ignored files in the test harness. This file can be used
as a placeholder in otherwise empty test directories.

There are cases where we need to ignore files with specific extensions
(e.g., when Mercurial litters the file system with patch
rejects). Implement this functionality using a helper class
(FileIgnoreList) that supports both regular expressions and basic
string comparisons.

The test base class already assumes that test cases consists of a run
stage and a verification stage. Reflect this in the results class to
make it possible to detect cases where a run was successful, but
didn't verify.

Limit the test configs to Ruby-only configs when testing a Ruby target
that isn't MI_example. This avoids re-running configs that has already
been tested by the generic (non-Ruby) ISA target. This behavior was
the expected behavior prior to switching to the new test framework.

ClassicTest was incorrectly ignoring stats.txt when updating reference
statistics. This was caused by ignore rules being applied too
aggressively when listing reference files. This changeset splits the
ignore rules into two different lists: 1) diff_ignore_files that lists
the files that shouldn't be diff:ed using the normal diff tool, and 2)
ref_ignore_files which lists files that should be ignored by the test
system.

Implement gem5's test infrastructure as a Python module and a run
script that can be used without scons. The new implementation has
several features that were lacking from the previous test
infrastructure such as support for multiple output formats, automatic
runtime tracking, and better support for being run in a cluster
environment.
Tests consist of one or more steps (TestUnit). Units are run in two
stages, the first a run stage and then a verify stage. Units in the
verify stage are automatically skipped if any unit run stage wasn't
run. The library currently contains TestUnit implementations that run
gem5, diff stat files, and diff output files.
Existing tests are implemented by the ClassicTest class and "just
work". New tests can that don't rely on the old "run gem5 once and
diff output" strategy can be implemented by subclassing the Test base
class or ClassicTest.
Test results can be output in multiple formats. The module currently
supports JUnit, text (short and verbose), and Python's pickle
format. JUnit output allows CI systems to automatically get more
information about test failures. The pickled output contains all state
necessary to reconstruct a tests results object and is mainly intended
for the build system and CI systems.
Since many JUnit parsers parsers assume that test suite names look
like Java package names. We currently output path-like names with
slashes separating components. Test names are translated according to
these rules:
* '.' -> '-"
* '/' -> '.'
The test tool, tests.py, supports the following features:
* Test listing. Example: ./tests.py list arm/quick
* Running tests. Example:
./tests.py run -o output.pickle --format pickle \
../build/ARM/gem5.opt \
quick/se/00.hello/arm/linux/simple-timing
* Displaying pickled results. Example:
./tests.py show --format summary *.pickle
