When calling a method in a superclass, you can/should use the super()
method to get a reference to that class. The python 2 version of that
method takes two parameters, the current class name, and the "self"
instance. The python 3 version takes no arguments. This is better for a
at least three reasons.
First, this version is less verbose because you don't have to specify
any arguments.
Second, you don't have to remember which argument goes where (I always
have to look it up), and you can't accidentally use the wrong class
name, or forget to update it if you copy code from a different class.
Third, this version will work correctly if you use a class decorator.
I don't know exactly how the mechanics of this work, but it is referred
to in a comment on this stackoverflow question:

This has been abstracted from the SimpleBoard.
The 'set_workload' function has been renamed 'set_se_binary_workload'.
This is clearer on its purpose and doesn't overlap with other

This patch moves 'connect_things' to the AbstractBoard constructor,
thereby meaning it does not need to be called directly in gem5
configuration scripts. This method has been changed to private as a
result.
As boards that inherit from AbstractBoard require certain things to be
setup prior to `connect_things` being called, a new abstract function,
`_setup_board` has been created. This is called in the AbstractBoard
constructor before `connect_things` and can be overridden by boards to
setup board properties as required.

The default value has been changed from False to True. We found in most
cases we want to re-download files if the md5 values have changes. Not
wanting to do so is the corner case. This allows us to remove a lot of

mean if `~/.cache/gem5` is not available then the resource is downloaded
to the current working directory of gem5.

These helpers will make it easier to cast a PCStatePtr into an ISA
specific class with less syntactic fluff. They are currently implemented
with a static_cast for performance reasons, but could be implemented
with a dynamic_cast and an assert for extra debugging if you were
willing to pay the performance overhead. In the future this might be
switched/enabled as an extra debugging mode, like how locking can have
extra checks enabled in the Linux kernel.

This class has a lot of common functionality which all PCState classes
use, but in order to make it a true base class which provides the
complete interface for PCState-s throughout gem5, all its methods would
need to become virtual. That doesn't have to be the case today because
we use the literal full ISA specific PC class directly, but we need to
move away from that.
This change leaves PCStateBase empty, since we don't know what will need
to be accessible in base classes through a common/virtual interface.
Also, move methods which do not depend on the InstWidth template
parameter out of SimplePCState and into PCStateCommon. This avoids
having duplicate methods with the same contents which don't depend on
InstWidth.

The setup() method of ScalarPrint, inherited from BasePrint, is not
called by its constructor, and is not called on the ScalarPrint "print"
in DistPrint::operator(). This sets most of the values in BasePrint.
Instead, this method sets these values itself based on the values of the
DistPrint itself.
Unfortunately it looks like this method forgot to set enableUnits, which
ends up otherwise uninitialized when the printUnits method is called.

When allocating memory with operator new(size_t), we should also delete
that memory with operator delete(). Note that this is a generic form of
new and delete which do not construct an object in the allocated space,
or delete the object when freeing the space.
There were a number of places where we were over-allocating a structure
so that there would be room after it for other data, at least sometimes
to allocate C structures which would have a trailing array of some other
structure with an undefined size. Those structures were then being
stored in a std::unique_ptr with the default deleter, which just calls
full blown delete and not operator delete.
It seems that this is often ok, and I was not able to find anything that
spelled out in bold letters that it isn't. I did find this sentence:
"If the pointer passed to the standard library deallocation function was
not obtained from the corresponding standard library allocation function,
the behavior is undefined."
On this webpage:
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/memory/new/operator_delete
This is a *little* vague, since they might mean you can't mix malloc and
delete, or new and free. Strictly interpretting it though, it could mean
you can't mix operator new with regular delete, or any other mismatched
combination.
I also found that exactly how this causes problems depends on what heap
allocator you're using. When I used tcmalloc, gem5 would segfault within
that library. When I disabled tcmalloc to run valgrind, the segfault
went away. I think this may be because sometimes you get lucky and
undefined behavior is what you actually wanted, and sometimes you don't.
To fix this problem, this change overrides the deleter on all of these
unique_ptr-s so that they use operator delete. Also, it refactors some
code in arch/x86/kvm/x86_cpu.cc so that the function that allocates
memory with operator new returns a std::unique_ptr instead of a raw
pointer. This raw pointer was always immediately put into a unique_ptr
anyway, and, in addition to tidying up the call sights slightly, also
avoids having to define a custom deleter in each of those locations
instead of once in the allocation function.

function has a flag to specify the difference. In the constructor of
InfoAccess, it sets correct flag to the setName function. However, if
you set the name later with the setter, it wouldn't set the flag for
you. This leads the name conflict in new style stats with same local

more important to ensure it works in the regressions. This commit

This was conditioned on the TARGET_ISA being x86 because the code it
replaced was, and that was because the x86 interrupts object had an
extra port that didn't appear for other ISAs. This inconsistency is not
present on either side of this connection, and so we don't need it to be
conditional.
We do, however, need to ensure that the port sends a range change even
if it doesn't have any ranges to send, to satisfy the bookkeeping of the
bus on the other side of the connection. We do that in init, like leaf

Also, this re-establishes the invariant that registers are indexed as

To make sure the KVM CPU sees the correct state, we need to sync over
