sim,arch: Move code that waits for a GDB connection to startup().

Currently the System class has a mechanism to wait for a GDB connection
for each CPU which has requested it through one of its parameters.
Unfortunately, not every thread context/CPU will be ready for GDB at
that point, particularly considering that in an FS simulation the
kernel won't have been read so there will be no symbols, none of the
registers or the entry point will have been set.

Also in the fast models, the CPUs haven't had a chance to initialize
themselves enough by that point to respond to the API calls which are
used to implement GDB support.

arch: Convert the static constexpr SIZE in vec_reg to a function.

When defining a static constexpr variable in C++11, it is still
required to have a separate definition someplace, something that can
be particularly problematic in template classes. C++17 fixes this
problem by adding inline variables which don't, but in the mean time
having a static constexpr value with no backing store will, if the
compiler decides to not fold away the storage location, cause linking
errors.

This happened to me when trying to build the debug build of ARM just
now.

By turning these expressions into static inline functions, then they
no longer need definitions elsewhere, still fold away to nothing, and
are compliant with C++11 which is currently the standard gem5 expects
to be using.

Recent changes in the setupBootloader method didn't take into account
that the VExpress_GEM5_Base class does require "loc" to be passed
to the bootloader setup method:

setupBootLoader(self, cur_sys, loc, boot_loader=None)

However VExpress_GEM5_V2_Base was just passing cur_sys and boot_loader

passed as None (default parameter):

super(VExpress_GEM5_V2_Base, self).setupBootLoader(

This patch is fixing this by removing loc from the VExpress_GEM5_Base
interface: the bootloader defaults (usinbg loc) are being set in the
derived classes (V1 and V2)

fastmodel: Use a shared pointer to track PC events.

When the last event is removed from a breakpoint, then the breakpoint
itself is uninstalled from IRIS, and the list is deleted. Even though
the list has been traversed and so we don't lose track of any other

overwritten, then we won't see the end and will wander right off the

This change modifies the breakpoint info tracking structure to keep a

manage the list's memory so that it doesn't leak, and it won't get

arch-arm: Fix CNTFRQ_EL0 permission bits

The register is marked as being writable at EL3 only (mon).  However the
arm arm states the register is accessible at the highest implemented EL.
Which means that if EL1 is the highest EL, EL1 code should be able to
modify the register value.

base: Use a int to store fgetc return value

The stdio fgetc returns the character read as an unsigned char cast to
an int.
The reason why it gets casted from unsigned char to int is because EOF
is defined as a negative value (usually -1).

At the moment in the atomicio.test we store the int in a char.

However the C standard states that the sign of a char is implementation
specific. This makes the test non portable: an architecture/ABI which
which is considering a char as a unsigned char won't compile since a
unsigned value will always be != -1 (EOF).

This is the error message you would get on a aarch64 host /w gcc/5.4.0

arm: Don't checkpoint the SystemCounter's "_period" value.

This value is just a cached inverse of _freq and can be recalculated
easily once the checkpoint is restored. The actual value of _period
actually depends on the global resolution of time (ie how much time a
Tick represents), and so saving the value of _period is also not
technically correct, even though in practice that will very rarely
cause a problem.

arch,cpu: Make the CPU's ISA parameter type BaseISA.

This is mostly only a superficial change since the isa parameter is
then dynamic cast to the ISA specific version inside the various
consumers, currently the SimpleThread, O3CPU and Decoder classes. If
those aren't being used, for instance in the fast model CPUs, then you
can use a different ISA implementation without any type clashes.

ext: Add failure node to JUnit xml file

"failure" is a child of the testcase node:

https://llg.cubic.org/docs/junit/

It allows xml parsers to understand which testcase failed the run.
Otherwise CI frameworks like jenkins wouldn't be able to classify every
single testcase. Prior to this patch testlib was using
testsuites.failures and testsuite.failures only. These are simply
reporting the number of failures.
