mem-ruby: Fix fast-forward when using the backing store.
While the up-to-date data may reside in any agent of Ruby's memory
hierarchy, there's an optional backing store in Ruby that provides
a 'correct' view of the physical memory. When it is enabled by the
user, every Ruby memory access will update this global memory view
as well upon finishing.
The issue is that Ruby's atomic access, used in fast-forward, does
not currently access the backing store, leading to data
incorrectness. More specifically, at the very beginning stage of the
simulation, a loader loads the program into the backing store using
functional accesses. Then the program starts execution with
fast-forward enabled, using atomic accesses for faster simulation. But
because atomic access only accesses the real memory hierarchy, the CPU
fetches incorrect instructions.
The fix is simple. Just make Ruby's atomic access update the backing
store as well as the real physical memory.

sim: Generalize the GuestABI Result::allocate() mechanism.
This change generalizes the GuestABI Result template family's
allocate() mechanism so that it can also be used with arguments. This
is useful in cases like the 32 bit ARM ISA which says that variadic
functions treat their floating point arguments differently than
non-variadic functions do. This mechanism will give the ABI a chance
to detect that the function is variadic (by checking for VarArgs) and
then to behave differently in that case.
This also makes the GuestABI mechanism a little more regular by
supporting allocate() on both arguments and return values instead of
just return values.

arm: Implement the AAPCS64 ABI.
This implementation has been tested a tiny bit by intercepting a call
which passed an argument of this type to a function.
struct Test
{
int32_t a;
float *b;
};
The gem5 intercept printed out the value of a, the value of b, and the
value of the float it pointed to.
I was able to get things to work by commenting out the panic in
fixFuncEventAddr and making it return its argument unmodified, and by
calling addFuncEvent instead of addKernelFuncEvent which injects the
kernel symbol table. I substitured the Process's debugSymbolTable which
had the right symbols.
Note that this implementation is not completely correct. First of all,
I used a dummy type in place of the Short Vector type which is just
a byte array with the appropriate alignment forced on it. It sounds
like this type would be something the compiler would need an intrinsic
and architecture specific type for to behave correctly, and so in
gem5 we'd have to define our own type for ARM which could feed in here.
Also, strictly speaking, it sounds like HVA and HFA category of types,
the Homogeneous Short-Vector Aggregates and Homogeneous Floating-point
Aggregates, are supposed to apply to any type which is an aggregate of
all the same type (short vector for one, floating point for the other)
with 4 or fewer members.
In this implementation, I capture any *array* of 4 or fewer elements of
the appropriate type as an HVA or HFA, but I believe these structures
would also count and are not included in my implementation.
struct {
float a;
float b;
float c;
};
struct {
ShortVector a;
ShortVector b;
};
This only matters if those sorts of structures are passed by value as
top level arguments to a function, ie they are not included in some
larger structure.
Also, rule B.6 talks about what to do with an "aignment adjusted type",
and I have no idea what that's supposed to be. Those may not be handled
correctly either.

sim: Remove ISA specific KVM handling of the return from clone.
When the new thread context ctc is created, it should have a copy of
all the state in the original tc, including the original PC. This code
used to specially handle the KVM case by explicitly making this new
context return from the system call immediately by jumping right to
RCX which (assuming a particular instruction was used) is where user
mode should resume.
The first problem with this approach as far as I can tell is that the
CPU will still be in CPL0, ie supervisor mode, and will not have been
forced back into CPL3, ie user mode. This may not have any immediately
visible effect, but may down the line.
Second, this seems unnecessary. The non-special case code will advance
the PC beyond the instruction which triggered the system call. Then
once the new thread starts executing again, it will execute sysret and
return to rcx naturally, just like the original thread will.
The only observed difference is that when executing a gem5 instruction,
the IP is set to the currently executing instruction, and so to avoid
the new context from re-executing the system call, the PC needs to be
advanced. When calling in from KVM, the instruction has already been
"completed", and so the IP should *not* be advanced.
Also note that when reading the PCState object in KVM, it doesn't

config,arch,cpu,kern,sim: Extract kernel information from System.
Information about what kernel to load and how to load it was built
into the System object and its subclasses. That overloaded the System
object and made it responsible for too many things, and also was
somewhat awkward when working with SE mode which doesn't have a kernel.
This change extracts the kernel and information related to it from the
System object and puts into into a OsKernel or Workload object.
Currently the idea of a "Workload" to run and a kernel are a bit
muddled, an unfortunate carry-over from the original code. It's also an
implication of trying not to make too sweeping of a change, and to
minimize the number of times configs need to change, ie avoiding
creating a "kernel" parameter which would shortly thereafter be
renamed to "workload".
In future changes, the ideas of a kernel and a workload will be
disentangled, and workloads will be expanded to include emulated
operating systems which shephard and contain Process-es for syscall
emulation.
This change was originally split into pieces to make reviewing it
easier. Those reviews are here:

dev-arm: Refactor GenericTimer
The GenericTimer specification includes a global component for
a universal view of time: the System Counter.
If both per-PE architected and memory-mapped timers are instantiated
in a system, they must both share the same counter. SystemCounter is
promoted to be an independent SimObject, which is now shared by
implementations.
The SystemCounter may be controlled/accessed through the memory-mapped
counter module in the system level implementation. This provides
control (CNTControlBase) and status (CNTReadBase) register frames. The
counter module is now implemented as part of GenericTimerMem.
Frequency changes occur through writes to an active CNTFID or to
CNTCR.EN as per the architecture. Low-high and high-low transitions are
delayed until suitable thresholds, where the counter value is a divisor
of the increment given the new frequency.
Due to changes in frequency, timers need to be notifies to be
rescheduled their counter limit events based on CompareValue/TimerValue.
A new SystemCounterListener interface is provided to achieve
correctness.
CNTFRQ is no longer able to modify the global frequency. PEs may
use this to modify their register view of the former, but they should
not affect the global value. These two should be consistent.
With frequency changes, counter value needs to be stored to track
contributions from different frequency epochs. This is now handled
on epoch change, counter disable and register access.
References to all GenericTimer model components are now provided as
part of the documentation.
VExpress_GEM5_Base is updated with the new model configuration.

arch-arm: Speedup ARM execution by avoiding expensive RTTI check
getArmSystem is the building block for a lot of ArmSystem getters
a client can use to check for a specific feature.
This method is called very often during simulation and it is basically
casting a System pointer into an ArmSystem pointer.
To do so, it is using dynamic casting to check if the system is really
an ArmSystem. This is very expensive and usually not needed.
The only chance arm code would use a non ArmSystem is when in SE mode.
But if that's the case, we can just replace the assertion with a
assert(FullSystem).
Testing Linux boot with this patch provides a speedup of nearly 2x!
(atomic mode).

The assertion was triggered in params.CheckedInt and params.Enum. It

This avoids having to have bunches of uninteresting initializers in the
Request constructors, and accidentally forgetting to initialize any of
them.

base: Disable a warning in hdf5.cc which comes from an external header.
This warning comes from an external header which we don't have the
ability to fix directly. We can disable it in hdf5.cc specifically
which should keep things building without defeating the warning in
cases where we could fix it.

base: Optimize and otherwise fix a couple of functions in intmath.hh.
As described in the Jira issue, this replaces the implementation of
isPowerOf2() and power(). It also revamps floorLog2 so that there only
needs to be one implementation and no assumptions about how big certain
types are.
The way power() used to work was to raise a number n to an exponent e
by multiplying n times itself e times. As a warning in this function
explains, this can be quite slow for large e. A much more efficient
way to raise a number to an exponent is to square n over and over, and
to multiply in the current square if that bit of e is set.
n ^ 15 = (n^1) * (n^2) * (n^4) * (n^8)
n^8 = (n^4)^2
n^4 = (n^2)^2
n^2 = n^2
n^1 = n
So that takes 6 multiplications, n^2, (n^2)^2, (n^4)^2, and then each
multipy to compute the final result, instead of 14.
The difference is more pronounced for larger exponents, although you'd
quickly start to overflow a uint64_t.
