According to the original paper [1] the elastic trace generation process
requires a cpu with a big number of entries in the ROB, LQ and SQ, so
that there are no stalls due to resource limitation.
At the moment these numbers are copy pasted from the
CpuConfig.config_etrace method [2].

Modified the x86 KVM-in-SE syscall handler to flush the TLB following
each syscall, in case the page table has been modified. This is done by
reloading the value in %cr3. Doing this requires an intermediate GPR,
which we store in a new scratch buffer following the syscall code at
address `syscallDataBuf`.

The syscall emulation of brk() incorrectly did not ensure that newly
allocated memory was zero-initialized, which Linux guarantees and which
seems to be the expectation of glibc's malloc() and free()
implementation. This patch fixes the incorrect behavior by zero-
initalizing all memory allocations via brk().

1. All VMs are deployable from a single Vagrantfile (per host machine).
2. Runners within VMs are now ephemeral. They cease to exist after a job
is complete. After the VM cleans the workspace and creates a new runner.
This will reduce old data, scripts, and images causing space issues on
our VMs
3. No more 'vm_manager.sh' script. The standard `vagrant` command to
manage the VMs will work.
4. Adds Copyright notices where missing.
This patch removed the bespoke "vm_manager.sh" script in favor of a
Multi-Machine Vagrantfile.
With this the users needs to only change the variables in Vagrantfile
then use the standard `vagrant` commands to launch the VMs/Runners.

Prior to this change we were limited to a root partition with only 60GB
of space which caused issues when running larger simulations (see:
https://github.com/gem5/gem5/issues/165).
There are two factors in this issue which this patch resolves:
1. The root partition in the VM was capped at 60GB despite the virtual
machines size being capped at 128GB. This resulted in libvirt giving the
VM free space it couldn't use. To fix this `lvextend` was added to the
"provision_root.sh" script to resize the root partition to fill the
available space.
2. The virtual machine size can be set via the `machine_virtual_size`
parameter. The minimum and default value is 128GB. This wasn't exposed
previously. Now, if we required, we can increase the size of the VM/Root
partition if we require (though I believe 128GB is more than sufficient
for now).

The "action-run.sh" action replaces inline scripting in the Vagrantfile.
The major improvement is this script runs an infinite loop and
configures the runners to be ephemeral. This means they cease to exist
after a job is complete. The script then cleans the VM workspace and the
loop restarts by configuring and setting up another runner. This means
our VMs no longer accumulate files that eventually lead to the VM
running out of space.

There are two places self-hosted runners can exist on GitHub:
1. At the level of the repository: In this case the runners can only be
used by that repository and runners can only be distinguished from one
another by labels.
2. At the level of the organization: In this case the runners can be
used by any repository in the organization, thus increasing their
versatility. In addition to labels, runners in the level of the
organization can be organized into groups.
While we do not use our self-hosted runners on other repositories, there
may be future use for this, so we might as well enable it now.

gem5::MemState::updateBrkRegion(), which is called during the syscall
emulation of brk, did not unmap deallocated heap pages when the brk
region is receding. Instead, it kept it mapped for simplicity. This
introduced a bug where subequent expansions of the brk region reused
prior heap page mappings that were not zero-filled. This violates
the assumptions of glibc malloc, resulting in heap corruption and
crashes.
This patch fixes the bug by always unmapping pages that are deallocated
during a call to brk() that reduces the heap size. This makes the
gem5::MemState::_endBrkPoint field obsolete, so this patch removes it.

Added a new feature to CHI protocol (in collaboration with @tiagormk).
Here is the Jira Ticket
[https://gem5.atlassian.net/browse/GEM5-1326](https://gem5.atlassian.net/browse/GEM5-1326
). As described in CHI specs, far atomic transactions enable remote
execution of Atomic Memory Operations. This pull request incorporates
several changes:
* Fix Arm ISA definition of Swap instructions. These instructions should
return an operand, so their ISA definition should be Return Operation.
* Enable AMOs in Ruby Mem Test to verify that AMOs work
* Enable near and far AMO in the Cache Controler of CHI
Three configuration parameters have been used to tune this behavior:
* policy_type: sets the atomic policy to one of the described in [our
paper](https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3579371.3589065)
* atomic_op_latency: simulates the AMO ALU operation latency
* comp_anr: configures the Atomic No return transaction to split
CompDBIDResp into two different messages DBIDResp and Comp
Previously, the L1, L2 number of banks and L2 latencies were not
configurable through command line arguments. This commit adds support to
configure them through the arguments '--tcp-num-banks' for number of
banks in L1, '--tcc-num-banks' for number of banks in L2, and
'--tcc-tag-access-latency', and '--tcc-data-access-latency'

ROCm supports dynamically allocating scratch space, which resides in
framebuffer memory, to reduce the amount of memory allocated for kernels
that have not yet launched. The size of the scratch space allocated is
located in task->amdQueue.compute_tmpring_size_wavesize. This size is in
kilobytes. The AQL task contains the number of bytes requested *per work
item*, however we currently check if there is enough tmpring space by
comparing a single work item. This should instead check the size *per
wavefront*.
This causes problems in applications where multiple kernels use dynamic
scratch allocation and a later kernel requires more space than the
earlier kernel. The only application being tested that does this is
LULESH. This was resulting in the scratch space being too small,
resulting in workgroups clobbering each other's private memory leading
to some nasty bugs. It is fixed by this patch as task->amdQueue will be
re-read from the host and will contain the updated tmpring size. After
this there is enough scratch space and LULESH makes forward progress.

I believe the point of this binary was to allow people to use the m5
objects without the entire gem5 binary. However, without adding the
importer call, this did not work. Unfortunately, with the importer call
there is a circular dependence on the original gem5py.cc file.
Therefore, this change creates a new file that has the importer call.
Now, with the `gem5py_m5` binary you can run python code that references
modules in `src/python`. Note that `_m5` is not available, so anything
that depends on the gem5 SimObjects' implementation will not work.
However, this can still be useful for things like getting Resources,
processing stats, etc.
Adds the instruction size to all static instruction. x86, arm
and RISC-V decoders add the instruction size to every decoded
macro instruction. As microops should reflect the size of the
their parent macroop the set method is overwritten to pass the
size to all microops.
Furthermore, we add a set method to the PC state. It allows
setting a PC state to a certain address.
Both methods are required for the decoupled front-end.

This problem is similar to the problem described in [1]. This problem
produces symptoms as described in [2].
In short, the Linux kernel relies on the CSR_STATUS's FS bits to decide
whether to save the floating point registers. If the FS bits are set to
DIRTY, the floating point registers will be saved during context
switching / task switching.
Currently, with the patch in [1], we only change the FS bits upon every
floating arithmetic instruction. However, since floating load
instructions also mutate the state of floating point registers, the FS
bits should be updated to DIRTY.
The problem in [2] arose when the program populates the content of one
floating register to an array by repeatedly using `fld fa5, EA`. A
context switch occured upon a page fault, and while handling that page
fault, the kernel might have to handle an interrupt. This caused the
kernel to task switch between handling page fault and handling
interrupt. This caused __switch_to() to be called, which will save the
floating point registers only if the SD (indirectly set by FS) bits are
set to DIRTY, while restoring the floating point registers to the
switch-to task [3]. This caused the floating point registers to be
zeroed out when it was restored as it was never saved before.

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.
