The latest version of DRAMSys required several API changes which were
applied in this commit.
Also, the README for the usage of DRAMSys has been updated.
The updated version fixes a bug in DRAMSys that caused some full-system
simulations to loop endlessly.
GitHub Issue: https://github.com/gem5/gem5/issues/1452
This commit changes the fs/linux/arm and learning_gem5 tests as
they were previously failing with the Ruby change. The
fs/linux/arm long tests require the addition of a new gem5 build,
ARM_X86, which builds the ARM and X86 ISAs with the
MESI_Two_Level cache hierarchy.
This commit renames NULL_All_Ruby to NULL_ALL_RUBY and adds a
tag for this build for testlib. These changes were made so the
NULL_All_Ruby build could be used with testlib.
There is a compiler error with GCC 12 discussed here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=115824
This Pybind code triggers the bug and was causing our compiler tests to
fail.
To fix gem5 compilation for gcc 12 these warnings/errors have been
suppressed for this code.
This is a copy and paste of:

A new host tag `gcn_gpu` has been added. This allows for selection of
those GPU tests which depend upon the gcn-gpu docker image to run.
In addition to this, the square GPU tests has been moved to the CI
tests. This ensures some GPU code is compiled and run on every PR.
Fixed the issue that did not allow building TLM.
Build commands:
```bash
scons build/ARM/gem5.opt
scons setconfig build/ARM USE_SYSTEMC=n
scons --with-cxx-config --without-python --without-tcmalloc build/ARM/libgem5_opt.so
cd util/tlm
scons
```
Following this README, I tested it successfully with the simple examples:

Add support for the following two extensions:
[Zvfh](https://github.com/riscv/riscv-v-spec/blob/master/v-spec.adoc#185-zvfh-vector-extension-for-half-precision-floating-point):
Vector Extension for Half-Precision Floating-Point
[Zvfhmin](https://github.com/riscv/riscv-v-spec/blob/master/v-spec.adoc#184-zvfhmin-vector-extension-for-minimal-half-precision-floating-point):
Vector Extension for Minimal Half-Precision Floating-Point
For instructions (`vfncvt[.rtz].x[u].f.w`) and (`vfwcvt.f.x[u].v`) which
will become defined when `SEW = 8`, a new template
`VectorFloatWideningAndNarrowingCvtDecodeBlock` is added and 8-bit
floating point type (`float8_t`) is defined.
The data type `float8_t` is introduced in the newer `3e` version of the
SoftFloat Package, however, the current version in use is `3d` which
does not include this definition. Despite this, `float8_t` is utilized
solely for constructing the `vfncvt[.rtz].x[u].f.w` and
`vfwcvt.f.x[u].v` instructions when `SEW = 8`. There are no operations
that directly manipulate data of the `float8_t` type.
DRAMSys requires cmake 3.24 or greater. By default neither Ubuntu 22.04
or 20.04 delevery this by APT.
In both cases wget is required. In 20.04 OpenSSL is required.
Then ext/dramsys README file has been updated to state this requirement.
CMake is not required to build gem5. It is only required to build
and link the optional DRAMSysm library. Therefore, if the DRAMSys repo
has been cloned but CMake is not present this patch ensures no attempt
at building or linking DRAMSysm is made. A warning is thrown
inform the user of the missing CMake.

Recent breaking changes in the DRAMSys API require user code to be
updated. These updates have been applied to the gem5 integration.
Furthermore, as DRAMSys started to use CMake dependency management,
it is no longer sensible to maintain two separate build systems for
DRAMSys. The use of the DRAMSys integration in gem5 will therefore
from now on require that CMake is installed on the target machine.
Additionally, support for snapshots have been implemented into DRAMSys
and coupled with gem5's checkpointing API.
SST SimpleMem will be deprecated in SST 14. PR 396 updated the
bridge to use StandardMem, which is the new memory interface in
SST. This change removes all references to SimpleMem.

This change updates the gem5 SST bridge to call m5.instantiate()
in the gem5 config script instead of in the SST component. This
allows more flexibility for the gem5-SST setup, as we can now write
traffic generators using the bridge.

This change updates the gem5 SST Bridge to use SST 13.0.0. Changes are
made to replace SimpleMem class to StandardMem class as SimpleMem will
be deprecated in SST 14 and above. In addition, the translator.hh is
updated to translate more types of gem5 packets. A new parameter `ports`
was added on SST's side when invoking the gem5 component which does not
require recompiling the gem5 component whenever a new outgoing bridge is
added in a gem5 config.

`std::binary_function` was deprecated in C++11 and officially
removed in CPP-17.
This caused a compilation error on some systems. Fortunately it can be
safely removed. It was unecessary. The commandItemSorter was compliant
witih the `sort` regardless.

By default, the `--stderr-file` and `--stdout-file` arguments were
directing the simulator to output files named "simerr" and "simout"
respectively if an output redirect was requested.
A small annoyance is these files lack an extension meaning programs
refuse to open them, or don't do so withou additional effort. On many
systems they are assumed to scripts.
This patch adds the `.txt` extension to both, thus clearly indicating to
other programs these are text files and can be opened and read as such.

This fixes:
1. Most importantly: The submodule recursive update was incorrect. This
adds the recursive obtaining of submodules as a seperate explicity step.
2. Changes the `git clone` to use https.

Also increase maximum enum supported value to 0x100
This library is courtesy of Daniil Goncharov and hosted at
https://github.com/Neargye/magic_enum/tree/master. It enables
compile-time and runtime string to/from enum value conversion as well
as other fancy enum introspection-like things.
The MIT lincence should not conflict with gem5 in any way.
Copying the file for now but a submodule might be more suitable if
gem5 uses them in the future.

Unfortunately the building of SST (in "ext/sst") depends on generated
header files. Therefore it adds the build directory to the include path.
For this to work the libgem5.so must be build with
"--duplicate-sources".

This adds a new scons flag --no-duplicate-sources to build without
linking source files to the build directory.
I find this very helpful when using CLion, since I can now generate a
compilation database using
`bear scons build/ALL/gem5.debug --no-duplicate-sources` and CLion will
now correctly semantically analyze all the files inside src/.
It also ensures that clicking on a build warning/error now opens the
real source file rather than a symlink.
This is not enabled by default since it's possible that certain use
cases are not working correctly, but the basic testing I've done so
far appears to work just fine.
It appears that with this change the `<root>/src` directory is no longer
added to `PYTHONPATH` when running `tests/main.py`, so this change
depends on https://gem5-review.git.corp.google.com/c/public/gem5/+/68757

* Add all softfloat source files without any change.
* Remove useless file softfloat.mk.in, since gem5 use Scons.
* Add `use_fast_int64` in SConscript to distinguish src of two strategies for data
larger than 64 bits.
* The SoftFloat library uses two strategies to handle data larger than 64bit. One is
spliting data into `fast_int64`, and the other is using pointer. Two strategies
are distinguished by macro `SOFTFLOAT_FAST_INT64`. But not all "*.c" files are
guarded by this macro, which leads to including useless files in compiling progress
and compiling error. `use_fast_int64` used in SConscript can exclude unnecessary
files.
