2fbbdad618 base: Add encapsulation to the loader::Symbol class
This commit converts `gem5::loader::Symbol` to a full class with
private members, enforcing encapsulation. Until now client code has
been able to (and does) access members directly.

This change will enable class invariants to be enforced via accessor
methods.

974a47dfb9 misc: Adopt the gem5 namespace
Apply the gem5 namespace to the codebase.

Some anonymous namespaces could theoretically be removed,
but since this change's main goal was to keep conflicts
at a minimum, it was decided not to modify much the
general shape of the files.

A few missing comments of the form "// namespace X" that
occurred before the newly added "} // namespace gem5"
have been added for consistency.

std out should not be included in the gem5 namespace, so
they weren't.

ProtoMessage has not been included in the gem5 namespace,
since I'm not familiar with how proto works.

Regarding the SystemC files, although they belong to gem5,
they actually perform integration between gem5 and SystemC;
therefore, it deserved its own separate namespace.

Files that are automatically generated have been included
in the gem5 namespace.

The .isa files currently are limited to a single namespace.
This limitation should be later removed to make it easier
to accomodate a better API.

Regarding the files in util, gem5:: was prepended where
suitable. Notice that this patch was tested as much as
possible given that most of these were already not
previously compiling.

9f55bb8478 base: Rename Loader namespace as loader
As part of recent decisions regarding namespace
naming conventions, all namespaces will be changed
to snake case.

::Loader became ::loader.

a70dc125d1 sim: Add a copied symbol table for the kernel on physical address
In fs simulation, the kernel is loaded to physical address first and
then it would relocate itself to virtual address. The address which
using by kernel symbol table is virtual address. To debug the process
before kernel relocated to virutal memory, we need another copy of
symbol table for physical address.

92ba3ba843 misc: Use PARAMS
The patch is using the newly defined PARAMS macro to replace
custom params() getters in derived class.

The patch is also removing redundant _params:
Instead of creating yet another _params field, SimObject descendants
should use params() to expose the real type of SimObject::_params they
already have.

Most create() methods are no longer necessary. This change deletes them,

91d83cc8a1 misc: Standardize the way create() constructs SimObjects.
The create() method on Params structs usually instantiate SimObjects
using a constructor which takes the Params struct as a parameter
somehow. There has been a lot of needless variation in how that was
done, making it annoying to pass Params down to base classes. Some of
the different forms were:

const Params &
Params &
Params *
const Params *
Params const*

This change goes through and fixes up every constructor and every
create() method to use the const Params & form. We use a reference
because the Params struct should never be null. We use const because
neither the create method nor the consuming object should modify the
record of the parameters as they came in from the config. That would
make consuming them not idempotent, and make it impossible to tell what
the actual simulation configuration was since it would change from any
user visible form (config script, config.ini, dot pdf output).

5da62e6331 arch,base,cpu,kerm,sim: Build a symbol table for object files.
Instead of calling into object files after the fact and asking them to
put symbols into a target symbol table, this change makes object files
fill in a symbol table themselves at construction. Then, that table can
be retrieved and used to fill in aggregate tables, masked, moved,
and/or filtered to have only one type of symbol binding.

This simplifies the symbol management API of the object file types
significantly, and makes it easier to deal with symbol tables alongside
binaries in the FS workload classes.

337c586eab arch,base,cpu,sim: Statically allocate debugSymbolTable.
This singleton object is used thruoughout the simulator. There is
really no reason not to have it statically allocated, except that
whether it was allocated seems to sometimes be used as a signal that
something already put symbols in it, specifically in SE mode.

To keep that functionality for the moment, this change adds an "empty"
method to the SymbolTable class to make it easy to check if the symbol
table is empty, or if someone already populated it.

9884641603 base,arch,sim,cpu: Move object file loader components into a namespace.
The components in base/loader were moved into a namespace called
Loader. This will make it easier to add loader components with fairly
short natural names which don't invite name collisions.

gem5 should use namespaces more in general for that reason and to make
it easier to write independent components without having to worry about
name collisions being added in the future.

Unfortunately this namespace has the same name as a class used to load
an object file into a process object. These names can be disambiguated
because the Process loader is inside the Process scope and the Loader
namespace is at global scope, but it's still confusing to read.

Fortunately, this shouldn't last for very long since the responsibility
for loading Processes is going to move to a fake OS object which will
expect to load a particular type of Process, for instance, fake 64 bit
x86 linux will load either 32 or 64 bit x86 processes.

That means that the capability to feed any binary that matches the
current build into gem5 and have gem5 figure out what to do with it
will likely be going away in the future. That's likely for the best,
since it will force users to be more explicit about what they're trying
to do, ie what OS they want to try to load a given binary, and also
will prevent loading two or more Processes which are for different OSes
to the same system, something that's possible today as far as I know
since there are no consistency checks.

da4f5726be arch,sim,kern,dev,cpu: Create a Workload SimObject.
This generalized Workload SimObject is not geared towards FS or SE
simulations, although currently it's only used in FS. This gets rid
of the ARM specific highestELIs64 property (from the workload, not the
system) and replaces it with a generic getArch.

The old globally accessible kernel symtab has been replaced with a
symtab accessor which takes a ThreadContext *. The parameter isn't used
for anything for now, but in cases where there might be multiple
symbol tables to choose from (kernel vs. current user space?) the
method will now be able to distinguish which to use. This also makes
it possible for the workload to manage its symbol table with whatever
policy makes sense for it.

That method returns a const SymbolTable * since most of the time the
symbol table doesn't need to be modified. In the one case where an
external entity needs to modify the table, two pseudo instructions,
the table to modify isn't necessarily the one that's currently active.
For instance, the pseudo instruction will likely execute in user space,
but might be intended to add a symbol to the kernel in case something
like a module was loaded.

To support that usage, the workload has a generic "insertSymbol" method
which will insert the symbol in the table that "makes sense". There is
a lot of ambiguity what that means, but it's no less ambiguous than
today where we're only saved by the fact that there is generally only
one active symbol table to worry about.

This change also introduces a KernelWorkload SimObject class which
inherits from Workload and adds in kernel related members for cases
where the kernel is specified in the config and loaded by gem5 itself.
That's the common case, but the base Workload class would be used
directly when, for instance, doing a baremetal simulation or if the
kernel is loaded by software within the simulation as is the case for
SPARC FS.

Because a given architecture specific workload class needs to inherit
from either Workload or KernelWorkload, this change removes the
ability to boot ARM without a kernel. This ability should be restored
in the future.

To make having or not having a kernel more flexible, the kernel
specific members of the KernelWorkload should be factored out into
their own object which can then be attached to a workload through a
(potentially unused) property rather than inheritance.
