The sandbox module is providing a sandbox environment for
a specific TestCase via the multiprocessing package.
This isolation/complexity is not strictly needed as testlib is already
forking a new process via subprocess. As it is now, a TestRunner will
generate:
TestRunner -> multiprocessing.Process -> subprocess.Popen
(2 generated procs)
With this patch we are removing the intermediate layer
TestRunner -> subprocess.Popen
(1 generated proc)

These are the stats in the base class, not in any derived classes. Only
Alpha has an additional stats. These were not really "kernel"
statistics, they were just applicable primarily in FS. They are
potentially applicable to any simulation, but will probably not be
incremented in SE simulations.
Also this merges these stats from being per thread to being per
workload, ie operating system instance. This is probably more relevant
since exactly what thread within a workload runs which particular
instruction is not very important/predictable, but the aggregate
behavior is. If necessary, this could be adjusted in the future to
split things back out again into stats per thread while keeping them
inside the single workload object.

There was an add-hoc check added to getAddrRanges, but the other methods
would just segfault if they tried to talk to their peers. This change
wraps all the calls in try blocks and catches the exception which the
peer will throw if it's the default and the port is not actually
connected to anything.

If a port is unbound, trying to call its peer will likely cause a
segfault. Rather than check if a port is bound every time you go to use
it, we can instead bind to a default peer which just throws an exception
back to the caller. The caller can catch the exception and report the
error.
This change adds a common new class to throw as the exception, and also
a small utility function which reports the error and dies.

The XBar uses the concept of Layers to model throughput and
instantiates one Layer per master. As it forwards a packet to and from
master, the corresponding Layer is marked as occupied for a number of
cycles. Requests/responses to/from a master are blocked while the
corresponding Layer is occupied. Previously the delay would be
calculated based on the formula 1 + size / width, which assumes that
the Layer is always occupied for 1 cycle while processing the packet
header. This changes makes the header latency a parameter which
defaults to 1.

Setting disable_partial part way through the checks for various build
targets is incorrect and will affect targets based on the order they're
checked.
This change moves the check earlier, makes it consistent across all
builds whether fast is included or not, and stops passing it in as an
option to makeEnv since it now applies universally.
By disabling partial linking consistently, we avoid missing bugs where
only the "fast" version of gem5 doesn't build correctly because of the
multitude of g++ bugs having to do with combining LTO and partial
linking.
This also simplifies the logic in the SConscript by having fewer
independently moving parts.

The ThreadContext can be used to access the cpu if needed, and is a
more representative interface to various pieces of state than the CPU
itself. Also convert some of the methods in Interupts to use the
locally stored ThreadContext pointer instead of taking one as an
argument. This makes calling those methods simpler and less error
prone.

The System class has a few different arrays of values which each
correspond to a thread of execution based on their position. This
change collects them together into a single class to make managing them
easier and less error prone. It also collects methods for manipulating
those threads as an API for that class.
This class acts as a collection point for thread based state which the
System class can look into to get at all its state. It also acts as an
interface for interacting with threads for other classes. This forces
external consumers to use the API instead of accessing the individual
arrays which improves consistency.

Instead of calling into object files after the fact and asking them to
put symbols into a target symbol table, this change makes object files
fill in a symbol table themselves at construction. Then, that table can
be retrieved and used to fill in aggregate tables, masked, moved,
and/or filtered to have only one type of symbol binding.
This simplifies the symbol management API of the object file types
significantly, and makes it easier to deal with symbol tables alongside
binaries in the FS workload classes.

When the write buffer is full, it still has space to store an additional
number of entries (reserve) equal to the number of MSHRs so that if any
of them requires a writeback this can be handled. Even if the slave port
is blocked, a prefetcher can generate new MSHR entries that may lead to
additional writebacks and eventually saturate the reserve space. This is
solved by checking if the cache is blocked for accesses before
prefetching data.

All other considerations aside, DTRACE probably fits best in trace.hh
where it is now, but unfortunately that creates an awkward dependence
between that file and eventq.hh and eventq_impl.hh. DTRACE only depends
on flags in the Debug namespace and a universal macro TRACING_ON, so
even though it won't be alongside the things it's most logically
associated with, it will be alongside all of its dependencies.
An alternative would be to re-implement DTRACE in eventq_impl.hh which
wouldn't be too big of a problem because it's so simple, but it's
cleaner and less error prone to still keep a single definition.
Because base/trace.hh includes base/debug.hh, any consumers expecting to
find DTRACE in base/trace.hh will still get that definition, even though
it's no longer direct.

makeLineAddress function uses m_block_size_bits to create
masked addresses. m_block_size_bits is used to specify
cache, directory, and memory controller interleaving,
and it can be larger than the cache line size.
To generate addresses that can align with the cache line
rather than the interleaving granularity, a version of
makeLineAddress is created to specify bits that need to
be masked.

This changeset allows setting a variable for interleaving.
That value is used together with the number of directories to
calculate numa_high_bit, which is in turn used to set up
cache, directory, and memory controller interleaving.
A similar approach is used to set xor_low_bit, and calculate
xor_high_bit for address hashing.
