PR #367 adds an option to configs/ruby/GPU_VIPER.py that was not added
to the corresponding dGPU equal for GPUFS and thus all GPUFS runs are
failing. Fixed in this patch.
Added checks to ensure that atomics are not performed in the TCC when it
is configured as a write-through cache. Also added SLC bit overwrite to
ensure directory preforms atomics when there is a write-through TCC.

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'

Added a GLC atomic latency parameter (glc-atomic-latency) used when
enqueueing response messages regarding atomics directly performed in
the TCC. This latency is added in addition to the L2 response latency
(TCC_latency). This represents the latency of performing an atomic
within the L2.
With this change, the TCC response queue will receive enqueues with
varying latencies as GLC atomic responses will have this added GLC
atomic latency while data responses will not. To accommodate this in
light of the queue having strict FIFO ordering (which would be violated
here), this change also adds an optional parameter bypassStrictFIFO to
the SLICC enqueue function which allows overriding strict FIFO
requirements for individual messages on a case-by-case basis. This
parameter is only being used in the TCC's atomic response enqueue call.

The TARGET_ISA variable would let you select one ISA from a list of
possible ISAs. That has now been replaced with USE_ARM_ISA, USE_X86_ISA,
etc, variables which are boolean on or off. That will allow any number
of ISAs to be enabled or disabled individually. Enabling something other
than exactly one of these will probably prevent you from getting a
working gem5 binary, but those problems are being addressed in other,
parallel change series.
I decided to use the USE_ prefix since it was consistent with most other
on/off variables we have in gem5. One noteable exception is the
BUILD_GPU setting which, you could convincingly argue, is a better
prefix than USE_. Another option would be to use CONFIG_, in
anticipation of using a kconfig style config mechanism in gem5.
It seemed premature to start using a CONFIG_ prefix here, and if we
decide to switch to some other prefix like BUILD_, it should be a
purposeful choice and not something somebody just starts using.

Update the TCP_latency input arg to reflect what it does -- in
combination with the number of banks, it determines the number of
accesses that can happen in the L1 (TCP) in a given cycle. It does
not directly affect the L1 latency as the name implies. Instead,
the mandatory_queue_latency does this.

The VIPER configuration uses the MOESI_AMD_Base protocol's directory.
This protocol does not wait for memory ACKs. As a result, this can lead
to read requests being pulled out of the MessageBuffer between the
directory and DRAMCtrl before a write request to the same address. This
leads to inconsistent data. To fix this, make the MessageBuffers
ordered. Since these MessageBuffers are essentially just an interface
between SLICC and DRAMCtrl, and DRAMCtrl can reorder requests properly,
this should not cause any large impact on performance due to the
constraint.
Also remove the duplicate instantiation of these MessageBuffers.

In order to fix several regression failures [1] the master/slave
terminology in src/cpu/BaseCPU.py was reintroduced [2].
This patch is addressing the issue by providing 2 different
ways of connecting cpu ports:
*) connectBus: The method assumes an object with a bus interface is
passed as an argument, therefore it tries to bind cpu ports to the
bus.mem_side_ports and bus.cpu_side_ports
*) connectAllPorts: No assumption on the port owning device is made.
The method simply accepts ports as arguments which will be directly
connected to the peer cpu ports
This will be used for example by ruby Sequencers

In order to have more fine grained control over which SLICC controllers
are part of which Ruby network in a disjoint configuration, the
create_system function in GPU_VIPER is broken up into multiple construct
calls for each SLICC machine type in the protocol. By default this does
not change anything functionally. A future config will use the construct
calls to explicitly set which network (CPU or GPU) the controller is in.

Viper is checking for the dma's type before making the port assignment.
In FullSystem mode the IDE device is a PortRef and does not have an
attribute 'type.' This handles the various types a bit better and
ensures that IDE device, the protocol tester, and upcoming DMA devices
related to FullSystem can be added.

GPUCoalescers in FullSystem mode should not be connected to the piobus
since they reside on a completely different RubyPort. There is also no
concept of IO requests from GPU so any request attempting to use the
default port (pio) should fatal. Further, coalescers do not implement
the connectIOPorts function.
This avoids coalescers by checking is_cpu_sequencer, which I believe is
the purpose of that boolean.

This patch is adding an extra parameter to the Ruby.create_system
function. The idea is to remove any assumption about cpu configuration
in the ruby scripts.
At the moment the scripts are assuming a flat list of cpu assigned
to the system object. Unfortunately this is not standardized, as
some systems might empoloy a different layout of cpus, like grouping
them in cluster objects.
With this patch we are allowing client scripts to provide the cpu list
as an extra argument
This has the extra benefit of removing the indexing hack
if len(system.cpu) == 1:
which was present in most scripts

Changed format from yaml to plain python. The new py configuration
file, when provided, must specialize the CHI node types defined in
configs/ruby/CHI_config.py (moved from configs/ruby/CHI.py). This
is required in order to setup the node->router bindings when the
CustomMesh topology is used.
See configs/example/noc_config/2x4.py (replaces
configs/example/noc_config/2x4.yaml) for an example.
--noc-config was also renamed to --chi-config, since the CHI node types
can be fully specialized in the configuration file.

This patch add a new Ruby cache coherence protocol based on Arm' AMBA5
CHI specification. The CHI protocol defines and implements two state
machine types:
- Cache_Controller: generic cache controller that can be configured as:
- Top-level L1 I/D cache
- A intermediate level (L2, L3, ...) private or shared cache
- A CHI home node (i.e. the point of coherence of the system and
has the global directory)
- A DMA requester
- Memory_Controller: implements a CHI slave node and interfaces with
gem5 memory controller. This controller has the functionality of a
Directory_Controller on the other Ruby protocols, except it doesn't
have a directory.
The Cache_Controller has multiple cache allocation/deallocation
parameters to control the clusivity with respect to upstream caches.
Allocation can be completely disabled to use Cache_Controller as a
DMA requester or as a home node without a shared LLC.
The standard configuration file configs/ruby/CHI.py provides a
'create_system' compatible with configs/example/fs.py and
configs/example/se.py and creates a system with private L1/L2 caches
per core and a shared LLC at the home nodes. Different cache topologies
can be defined by modifying 'create_system' or by creating custom
scripts using the structures defined in configs/ruby/CHI.py.
This patch also includes the 'CustomMesh' topology script to be used
with CHI. CustomMesh generates a 2D mesh topology with the placement
of components manually defined in a separate configuration file using
the --noc-config parameter.
The example in configs/example/noc_config/2x4.yaml creates a simple 2x4
mesh. For example, to run a SE mode simulation, with 4 cores,
4 mem ctnrls, and 4 home nodes (L3 caches):
build/ARM/gem5.opt configs/example/se.py \
--cmd 'tests/test-progs/hello/bin/arm/linux/hello' \
--ruby --num-cpus=4 --num-dirs=4 --num-l3caches=4 \
--topology=CustomMesh --noc-config=configs/example/noc_config/2x4.yaml
If one doesn't care about the component placement on the interconnect,
the 'Crossbar' and 'Pt2Pt' may be used and they do not require the
--noc-config option.

Only the protocol-agnostic scripts were updated. Scripts that assume
a specific protocol (e.g. configs/example/apu_se.py, gpu tests, etc)
and scripts in which the obj connected to the RubySequencer is not a
BaseCPU (e.g. the tests scripts) were not changed as they require a
