When the `statistics::nozero` flag is set gem5 does not output that stat
if its value is zero. This was not the case for SimStats which output in
this case. This patch correct this behavior.
These can either be set to an integer, in which case it's interpreted
as a TCP port, or a string, in which case it's treated as a unix domain
socket. If the unix domain socket is prefixed with a "@", it will be
treated as an abstract socket.
When stored in the ini file, there is always a prefix added to make
parsing the string more systematic and less ambiguous. A port number is
prefixed with "#", an abstract socket with "@", and a socket file with
the prefix "P" for "path".

This commit adds the following functions to the `m5` python module:
- setMaxTick(tick) -> None
- getMaxTick() -> int
- getTicksUntilMax() -> int
- scheduleTickExitFromCurrent(tick, exit_string) -> None
- scheduleTickExitAbsolute(tick, exit_string) -> None
Until this patch the only way to set an exit at a particular tick was
via `simulate.run` which would reschedule the maximum tick. This
functionality has been explicity exposed via the new `setMaxTick`
function. However, as this is only rescheduling the maximum tick, it
stops scheduling exits at multiple different ticks.
To get around this problem the `scheduleTickExit` functions have been
added. These allow a user to schedule multiple exit events. The
functions contain a `exit_string` parameter that provides the string
the simulator is to return when the specified tick is met. By default
this string is "Tick exit reached" which is used by the stdlib
Simulator module to declare a new `SCHEDULED_TICK` exit event (Note:
this has been deliberatly kept seperate from the `MAX_TICK` exit event.
This commit serves as an attempt to decouple these are two concepts).
Tests are provided in this patch to ensure these new functions work as
intended.
Additional notes:
- The `simulate` function has been fixed to match the documentation. If
the `num_cycles` is -1 then the maximum ticks is set to MaxTicks.
Otherwise the max ticks is set to `curTicks() + num_cycles`. The
functionality of this function will remain unchanged to the end-user.
- Full integration into the Simulator module is not complete as of this
patch. Users must us the m5 python module to set these exit events.

We go through the trouble of defining an AddrRangeList typedef, but then
we don't use it consistently and use std::vector<AddrRange> instead.
This change converts the exclude method from using
std::vector<AddrRange> to AddrRangeList, and also adds a constructor
which takes an AddrRangeList.
Because there is a lot of code which uses the std::vector based
constructor, this change does not remove that method.

It is currently not possible to call m5.fork when the simulator is
running in with multiple parallel event queues. The POSIX standard
have very weak guarantees when forking a process with multiple
threads. In order to use fork correctly, we need to ensure that all
helper threads servicing event queues have terminated before the fork
system call is invoked.
There are two ways this could be implemented: 1) Always terminate
helper threads when taking a global simulator exit event, or 2)
terminate helper threads just before fork is called from Python.
This change implements the second strategy since the KVM-based CPUs
currently assume that TIDs don't change unless there is a fork event.

Create an AllFlagsFlag class which inherits from the CompoundFlag class.
This class is a singleton, and the SimpleFlags install themselves in it
instead of having SCons collect them.
The allFlagsVersion global variable was supposed to be for debugging
according to a comment, but was actually an important part of the "All"
flags inner workings. It was not exposed in the header, but was
redefined/pulled through in src/python/pybind11/debug.cc. The
AllFlagsFlag class now tracks that value, and it can be accessed without
reaching behind the curtain.
This also somewhat decentralizes the debug flag building process in
SCons. The debug/flags.cc still includes all flags at once which
centralizes them, but at least now the "All" flag won't also.

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.

These are HDF5, PNG, FENV, and TUNTAP support, all of which add
capabilities to gem5 which can be ignored if not wanted. It could be
argued that FENV changes behavior because it makes setting the FP
rounding mode work or not as used by SPARC, but since the difference is
trivial and in a niche area, that (along with the other options) doesn't
seem to justify having a top level control in the build system.
Since these are no longer options which say whether to *use* a
particular feature, and are instead flags which say whether we *have* a
particular feature, change their names from USE_* to HAVE_*, to stay
consistent with other variables.
Most of the remaining USE_* flags, KVM, FASTMODEL, SYSTEMC, and
(indirectly) USE_PYTHON, toggle on and off major systems which can have
a significant effect on boot time, or, in the case of FASTMODEL, even
consume external resources which may not be available and which may
break the build.
USE_POSIX_TIMER was also left alone since it selects between two
implementations of some functions. By forcing it to be on or off
depending on the host, we would be forcing some code to be excluded in
either case. That would make that other code impossible to test without
hacking up scons or modifying the host machine.

Compound debug flags are intended to be a way to enable or disable a
group of simple debug flags at once, so that you don't need to enumerate
every more specialized flag in an area to get a broad amount of
debugging, nor do you give up the ability to select a general area
easily by making more specific flags.
It doesn't, however, make a lot of sense to check the value of a
compound debug flag, since it could be enabled but then have individual
subflags disabled. Exactly whether that means the compound flag should
be enabled or not is not clear, and figuring it out takes a fair amount
of work since each member simple flag needs to be visited.
Also, by having different behavior depending on the flag type, the
"enabled" method needed to be virtual.
This change eliminates the virtual method and moves the _tracing bool
member into the base class. If a subclass (only SimpleFlag currently)
wants to start or stop tracing based on itself, it should set or clear
this flag. Also, the "enabled" method has been renamed to "tracing",
since that's actually what it tracked. Being enabled by itself is not
sufficient to be tracing since there is also a global enable.
Finally, rather than duplicate the logic to convert a flag to bool in
the python wrapper, we can just use a cast to bool and take advantage of
the version in C++.

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.
