According to page 57 in the RISC-V manual, CSR accesses "need to be
performed in program order with respect to those instructions whose
execution behavior is affected by the state of the accessed CSR".
Thus, we need to make them SerializeAfter to ensure that the following
instructions are executed with the potential changes to the CSR. In
theory, we could be smarter here by only considering write accesses to
CSRs and considering the following instructions, but for now we simply
serialize for every CSR access.

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.

This is specialized per arch, and the Workload class is the only thing
actually using it. It doesn't make any sense to dispatch those calls
over to the System object, especially since that was, in most cases,
the only reason an ISA specific system class even still existed.
After this change, only ARM still has an architecture specific System
class.

This generalized Workload SimObject is not geared towards FS or SE
simulations, although currently it's only used in FS. This gets rid
of the ARM specific highestELIs64 property (from the workload, not the
system) and replaces it with a generic getArch.
The old globally accessible kernel symtab has been replaced with a
symtab accessor which takes a ThreadContext *. The parameter isn't used
for anything for now, but in cases where there might be multiple
symbol tables to choose from (kernel vs. current user space?) the
method will now be able to distinguish which to use. This also makes
it possible for the workload to manage its symbol table with whatever
policy makes sense for it.
That method returns a const SymbolTable * since most of the time the
symbol table doesn't need to be modified. In the one case where an
external entity needs to modify the table, two pseudo instructions,
the table to modify isn't necessarily the one that's currently active.
For instance, the pseudo instruction will likely execute in user space,
but might be intended to add a symbol to the kernel in case something
like a module was loaded.
To support that usage, the workload has a generic "insertSymbol" method
which will insert the symbol in the table that "makes sense". There is
a lot of ambiguity what that means, but it's no less ambiguous than
today where we're only saved by the fact that there is generally only
one active symbol table to worry about.
This change also introduces a KernelWorkload SimObject class which
inherits from Workload and adds in kernel related members for cases
where the kernel is specified in the config and loaded by gem5 itself.
That's the common case, but the base Workload class would be used
directly when, for instance, doing a baremetal simulation or if the
kernel is loaded by software within the simulation as is the case for
SPARC FS.
Because a given architecture specific workload class needs to inherit
from either Workload or KernelWorkload, this change removes the
ability to boot ARM without a kernel. This ability should be restored
in the future.
To make having or not having a kernel more flexible, the kernel
specific members of the KernelWorkload should be factored out into
their own object which can then be attached to a workload through a
(potentially unused) property rather than inheritance.

Extend the MemState API to handle tracking dynamically sized memory
regions of a Process class which may be added, moved, removed, or
change in size during the course of simulation. This utilizes the
virtual memory areas (VMA) class to track individual regions and
provides a fixup method to handle physical page allocation in case of
a page fault. This allows for lazy allocation of the stack, heap, and
mmap regions of memory.

When handling a system call, external code would call Process::syscall
which would extract the syscall number, that would call the base
class' doSyscall method, that would call into the subclass' getDesc
to get the appropriate descriptor, and then doSyscall would check
that a syscall was found and call into it.
Instead, we can just make the SyscallDescTable optionally check for
missing syscalls (in case we want to check multiple tables), and
make syscall look up the appropriate descriptor and call it. The base
implementation of syscall would then do the only bit of doSyscall that
is no longer being handled, incrementing the numSyscalls stat.

Also add the syscall number into the SyscallDesc class.
The common table structure is basically just a map that extracts its
key value from the SyscallDesc class using a new num() accessor. By
using a map instead of an array (like RISCV was already doing), it's
easy to support gaps of arbitrary size and non-zero offsets of groups
of system calls without lots of filler or additional logic. This
simplified the ARM system call tables in particular which had a lot
of filler entries.
Also, both the 32 and 64 bit ARM syscall tables had entries for a
syscall at 123456 which was the "Angel SWI system call". This value
is actually the immediate constant passed to the SWI system call
instruction and is not interpreted as the system call number in linux.
This constant can be intercepted by hardware or a simulator to, for
instance, implement ARM semihosting.
Also, that constant in combination with the SWI instruction is only
used for semihosting in 32 bit ARM mode, not in 64 bit mode or in
thumb.
Since checking for that system call number was very likely a mistake
from misinterpreting how the semihosting calls work, this change
drops those checks.

Information about what kernel to load and how to load it was built
into the System object and its subclasses. That overloaded the System
object and made it responsible for too many things, and also was
somewhat awkward when working with SE mode which doesn't have a kernel.
This change extracts the kernel and information related to it from the
System object and puts into into a OsKernel or Workload object.
Currently the idea of a "Workload" to run and a kernel are a bit
muddled, an unfortunate carry-over from the original code. It's also an
implication of trying not to make too sweeping of a change, and to
minimize the number of times configs need to change, ie avoiding
creating a "kernel" parameter which would shortly thereafter be
renamed to "workload".
In future changes, the ideas of a kernel and a workload will be
disentangled, and workloads will be expanded to include emulated
operating systems which shephard and contain Process-es for syscall
emulation.
This change was originally split into pieces to make reviewing it
easier. Those reviews are here:
