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.

98ac080ec4 base-stats,misc: Rename Stats namespace as statistics
As part of recent decisions regarding namespace
naming conventions, all namespaces will be changed
to snake case.

::Stats became ::statistics.

"statistics" was chosen over "stats" to avoid generating
conflicts with the already existing variables (there are
way too many "stats" in the codebase), which would make
this patch even more disturbing for the users.

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).

ebc9e1d426 sim: Fix clock_domain unserialization
This patch addresses an issue with the unserialization of clock
domains. Previously, the previous performance level was not restored
due to a bug in the code, which detected the post-unserialize update
as superfluous. This patch splits the setting of the clock domain into
two parts. The original interface of perfLevel is retained, but the
actual update takes place in signalPerfLevelUpdate, which is private
to the class. The perfLevel method checks that if the new performance
level is different to the previous performance level, and will only
call signalPerfLevelUpdate if there is a change. Therefore, the
performance level is only updated, and voltage domains notified, if
there is an actual change. The split functionality allows
signalPerfLevelUpdate to be called by startup() to explicitly force an
update post unserialization.

2ac04c11ac misc: Add explicit overrides and fix other clang >= 3.5 issues
This patch adds explicit overrides as this is now required when using
"-Wall" with clang >= 3.5, the latter now part of the most recent
XCode. The patch consequently removes "virtual" for those methods
where "override" is added. The latter should be enough of an
indication.

As part of this patch, a few minor issues that clang >= 3.5 complains
about are also resolved (unused methods and variables).

76cd4393c0 sim: Refactor the serialization base class
Objects that are can be serialized are supposed to inherit from the
Serializable class. This class is meant to provide a unified API for
such objects. However, so far it has mainly been used by SimObjects
due to some fundamental design limitations. This changeset redesigns
to the serialization interface to make it more generic and hide the
underlying checkpoint storage. Specifically:

  * Add a set of APIs to serialize into a subsection of the current
    object. Previously, objects that needed this functionality would
    use ad-hoc solutions using nameOut() and section name
    generation. In the new world, an object that implements the
    interface has the methods serializeSection() and
    unserializeSection() that serialize into a named /subsection/ of
    the current object. Calling serialize() serializes an object into
    the current section.

  * Move the name() method from Serializable to SimObject as it is no
    longer needed for serialization. The fully qualified section name
    is generated by the main serialization code on the fly as objects
    serialize sub-objects.

  * Add a scoped ScopedCheckpointSection helper class. Some objects
    need to serialize data structures, that are not deriving from
    Serializable, into subsections. Previously, this was done using
    nameOut() and manual section name generation. To simplify this,
    this changeset introduces a ScopedCheckpointSection() helper
    class. When this class is instantiated, it adds a new /subsection/
    and subsequent serialization calls during the lifetime of this
    helper class happen inside this section (or a subsection in case
    of nested sections).

  * The serialize() call is now const which prevents accidental state
    manipulation during serialization. Objects that rely on modifying
    state can use the serializeOld() call instead. The default
    implementation simply calls serialize(). Note: The old-style calls
    need to be explicitly called using the
    serializeOld()/serializeSectionOld() style APIs. These are used by
    default when serializing SimObjects.

  * Both the input and output checkpoints now use their own named
    types. This hides underlying checkpoint implementation from
    objects that need checkpointing and makes it easier to change the
    underlying checkpoint storage code.

65cea4708e power: Add basic DVFS support for gem5
Adds DVFS capabilities to gem5, by allowing users to specify lists for
frequencies and voltages in SrcClockDomains and VoltageDomains respectively.
A separate component, DVFSHandler, provides a small interface to change
operating points of the associated domains.

Clock domains will be linked to voltage domains and thus allow separate clock,
but shared voltage lines.

Currently all the valid performance-level updates are performed with a fixed
transition latency as specified for the domain.

Config file example:
...
vd = VoltageDomain(voltage = ['1V','0.95V','0.90V','0.85V'])
tsys.cluster1.clk_domain.clock = ['1GHz','700MHz','400MHz','230MHz']
tsys.cluster2.clk_domain.clock = ['1GHz','700MHz','400MHz','230MHz']
tsys.cluster1.clk_domain.domain_id = 0
tsys.cluster2.clk_domain.domain_id = 1
tsys.cluster1.clk_domain.voltage_domain = vd
tsys.cluster2.clk_domain.voltage_domain = vd
tsys.dvfs_handler.domains = [tsys.cluster1.clk_domain,
                             tsys.cluster2.clk_domain]
tsys.dvfs_handler.enable = True

1d85e914a6 sim: Expose the current clock period as a stat
This patch adds observability to the clock period of the clock domains
by including it as a stat.

As a result of adding this, the regressions will be updated in a
separate patch.

b4b03a60b1 sim: Add support for dynamic frequency scaling
This patch provides support for DFS by having ClockedObjects register
themselves with their clock domain at construction time in a member list.
Using this list, a clock domain can update each member's tick to the
curTick() before modifying the clock period.

e7e17f92db power: Add voltage domains to the clock domains
This patch adds the notion of voltage domains, and groups clock
domains that operate under the same voltage (i.e. power supply) into
domains. Each clock domain is required to be associated with a voltage
domain, and the latter requires the voltage to be explicitly set.

A voltage domain is an independently controllable voltage supply being
provided to section of the design. Thus, if you wish to perform
dynamic voltage scaling on a CPU, its clock domain should be
associated with a separate voltage domain.

The current implementation of the voltage domain does not take into
consideration cases where there are derived voltage domains running at
ratio of native voltage domains, as with the case where there can be
on-chip buck/boost (charge pumps) voltage regulation logic.

The regression and configuration scripts are updated with a generic
voltage domain for the system, and one for the CPUs.

7d7ab73862 sim: Add the notion of clock domains to all ClockedObjects
This patch adds the notion of source- and derived-clock domains to the
ClockedObjects. As such, all clock information is moved to the clock
domain, and the ClockedObjects are grouped into domains.

The clock domains are either source domains, with a specific clock
period, or derived domains that have a parent domain and a divider
(potentially chained). For piece of logic that runs at a derived clock
(a ratio of the clock its parent is running at) the necessary derived
clock domain is created from its corresponding parent clock
domain. For now, the derived clock domain only supports a divider,
thus ensuring a lower speed compared to its parent. Multiplier
functionality implies a PLL logic that has not been modelled yet
(create a separate clock instead).

The clock domains should be used as a mechanism to provide a
controllable clock source that affects clock for every clocked object
lying beneath it. The clock of the domain can (in a future patch) be
controlled by a handler responsible for dynamic frequency scaling of
the respective clock domains.

All the config scripts have been retro-fitted with clock domains. For
the System a default SrcClockDomain is created. For CPUs that run at a
different speed than the system, there is a seperate clock domain
created. This domain incorporates the CPU and the associated
caches. As before, Ruby runs under its own clock domain.

The clock period of all domains are pre-computed, such that no virtual
functions or multiplications are needed when calling
clockPeriod. Instead, the clock period is pre-computed when any
changes occur. For this to be possible, each clock domain tracks its
children.
