x86: revamp cmpxchg8b/cmpxchg16b implementation
The previous implementation did a pair of nested RMW operations,

it didn't require any new micro-ops, and supported cmpxchg16b using

atomicity was guaranteed by the core and not by the memory system.
It did not work with timing CPU models though.

of uint64_t, and specifically a 'u2qw' operand type for x86 that is an

memory accesses will also be rewritten to use this support.
Support for 128-bit accesses could also have been added using the gcc

although clang also supports __int128_t, it's still non-standard.

cpu. arch: add initiateMemRead() to ExecContext interface
For historical reasons, the ExecContext interface had a single
function, readMem(), that did two different things depending on
whether the ExecContext supported atomic memory mode (i.e.,
AtomicSimpleCPU) or timing memory mode (all the other models).
In the former case, it actually performed a memory read; in the
latter case, it merely initiated a read access, and the read
completion did not happen until later when a response packet
arrived from the memory system.
This led to some confusing things, including timing accesses
being required to provide a pointer for the return data even

This patch splits this interface, adding a new initiateMemRead()
function to the ExecContext interface to replace the timing-mode
use of readMem().
For consistency and clarity, the readMemTiming() helper function
in the ISA definitions is renamed to initiateMemRead() as well.

cpu: remove unnecessary data ptr from O3 internal read() funcs
The read() function merely initiates a memory read operation; the
data doesn't arrive until the access completes and a response packet
is received from the memory system. Thus there's no need to provide
a data pointer; its existence is historical.
Getting this pointer out of this internal o3 interface sets the
stage for similar cleanup in the ExecContext interface. Also
found that we were pointlessly setting the contents at this pointer
on a store forward (the useful memcpy happens just a few lines
below the deleted one).

arch: don't call *Timing functions from *Atomic versions
The readMemAtomic/writeMemAtomic helper functions were calling
readMemTiming/writeMemTiming respectively. This is functionally
correct, since the *Timing functions are doing the same access
initiation operation as the *Atomic functions (just that the
*Atomic versions also complete the access in line). It also
provides for some (very minimal) code reuse. Unfortunately,
it's potentially pretty confusing, since it makes it look like
the atomic accesses are somehow being converted to timing
accesses. It also gets in the way of specializing the timing
interface (as will be done in a future patch).

By ignoring SIG_TRAP, using --debug-break <N> when not connected to

If we don't ignore SIG_TRAP, then using --debug-break <N> when not
connected to a debugger causes the simulation process to terminate
at tick N. This is occasionally useful, e.g., if you just want to
collect a trace for a specific window of execution then you can combine
this with --debug-start to do exactly that.

the --debug-break help message and deletes a handful of unprotected

interrupt line from a device's configurtion space.
* ARM_PCI_INT_DEV: Use device number on the PCI bus to map to an

gic_int = int_base + (pci_dev % int_count)
* ARM_PCI_INT_PIN: Use device interrupt pin on the PCI bus to map to
an interrupt in the GIC. The PCI specification reserves pin ID 0
for devices without interrupts, the interrupt therefore computed
as:

arm: remote GDB: rationalize structure of register offsets
Currently, the wire format of register values in g- and G-packets is
modelled using a union of uint8/16/32/64 arrays. The offset positions
of each register are expressed as a "register count" scaled according
to the width of the register in question. This results in counter-
intuitive and error-prone "register count arithmetic", and some
formats would even be altogether unrepresentable in such model, e.g.
a 64-bit register following a 32-bit one would have a fractional index
in the regs64 array.
Another difficulty is that the array is allocated before the actual
architecture of the workload is known (and therefore before the correct
size for the array can be calculated).
With this patch I propose a simpler mechanism for expressing the
register set structure. In the new code, GdbRegCache is an abstract
class; its subclasses contain straightforward structs reflecting the
register representation. The determination whether to use e.g. the
AArch32 vs. AArch64 register set (or SPARCv8 vs SPARCv9, etc.) is made
by polymorphically dispatching getregs() to the concrete subclass.
The subclass is not instantiated until it is needed for actual
g-/G-packet processing, when the mode is already known.
This patch is not meant to be merged in on its own, because it changes
the contract between src/base/remote_gdb.* and src/arch/*/remote_gdb.*,
so as it stands right now, it would break the other architectures.
In this patch only the base and the ARM code are provided for review;
once we agree on the structure, I will provide src/arch/*/remote_gdb.*
for the other architectures; those patches could then be merged in
together.
