3e83f3ce4f scons,misc: Portable debug flag generation (#1666)
Modifies union construction in the debug directory so output is more
amenable to alternative compilers. Verified that this change produces
code that builds with clang, gcc, msvc, nvhpc, aocc, icc, openxl, and
cray hpc.

These were the kinds of errors seen in MSVC, which this patch fixes.

3fc6cc7763 sim: Make SignalSinkPort::set virtual (#1679)
We are implementing derived classes of SignalSinkPort that does some
additional logic after it's triggered (set() invoked by SignalSourcePort
peer), and before executing the callback that a device provides (in
onChange_). The logic is like additional logging, or providing debugging
features. However, set() itself directly calls the onChange_ callback.

Making the set() virtual could provide the flexibility to achieve this
feature.

f55a4ce989 arch-x86,arch-arm: Remove static variables in decoders (#1643)
There were a number of variables in the arm and x86 decoders that are
static (e.g., the decode cache). It's a bit interesting that this
doesn't cause problems with multiple cores since each core has its own
decoder.

However, this causes segfaults if you run different cores on different
*host* threads. We are experimenting with running gem5 with multiple
host thread (i.e., in parallel), and removing these static variables
resolves the segfault.

This change also adds const to any other static variables to ensure that
they cannot be modified.

deb8f983a1 arch-vega: Fix multi-dword setElem in PackedReg (#1664)
There are two issues related to setting an element in PackedReg where
the element spans multiple dwords. First, the mask value is wrong and is
clobbering both dwords. Second, a portion of the value is shifted out of
the narrower input type.

Fix this by using the correct mask to clear the bits where the value
will be placed and use a larger data type to shift the value into place.

a8f88abfb1 misc: Add 'ext' & 'tests' to vscode pythin extraPaths (#1652)
'ext' is set as a Python source path for gem5, like 'src/python'. It
helps vscode users to have vscode aware of this to better analytics and
reduce warnings (most comminly "unable to resolve import).

'tests' isn't in the Python source path when compiling gem5 but it is
when running `tests/main.py`. Though somewhat unideal as is lets vscode
think files in 'src' can import from files in 'test', adding this helps
vscode Python analytics parse the test files which reduces warnings and
aids in betters navigation of the testing code. This is particularly
helpful given the complexity of the testlib testing infrastructure.

3f42ab4ca9 stdlib,ruby: Enable resetting version numbers (#1649)
Ruby requires each machine type to have a continuous set of version
numbers starting at 0. We were hiding this from users/developers by
using a Python class variable in the stdlib. Unfortunately, with
multiple ruby systems this doesn't work anymore.

As a stop-gap this change adds "resetting" these versions to the
beginning of `incorporate_caches`. It would be better to fix this in the
C++ code (and assign these numbers in C++ probably via the RubySystem),
but that's a bigger change than is needed right now.

4f7b3ed827 mem-ruby: Remove static methods from RubySystem (#1453)
There are several parts to this PR to work towards #1349 .

(1) Make RubySystem::getBlockSizeBytes non-static by providing ways to
access the block size or passing the block size explicitly to classes.

The main changes are:
 - DataBlocks must be explicitly allocated. A default ctor still exists
   to avoid needing to heavily modify SLICC. The size can be set using a
   realloc function, operator=, or copy ctor. This is handled completely
   transparently meaning no protocol or config changes are required.
 - WriteMask now requires block size to be set. This is also handled
   transparently by modifying the SLICC parser to identify WriteMask
   types and call setBlockSize().
 - AbstractCacheEntry and TBE classes now require block size to be set.
   This is handled transparently by modifying the SLICC parser to
   identify these classes and call initBlockSize() which calls
   setBlockSize() for any DataBlock or WriteMask.
 - All AbstractControllers now have a pointer to RubySystem. This is
   assigned in SLICC generated code and requires no changes to protocol
   or configs.
 - The Ruby Message class now requires block size in all constructors.
   This is added to the argument list automatically by the SLICC parser.
   
(2) Relax dependence on common functions in
src/mem/ruby/common/Address.hh
so that RubySystem::getBlockSizeBits is no longer static. Many classes
already have a way to get block size from the previous commit, so they
simply multiple by 8 to get the number of bits. For handling SLICC and
reducing the number of changes, define makeCacheLine, getOffset, etc. in
RubyPort and AbstractController. The only protocol changes required are
to change any "RubySystem::foo()" calls with "m_ruby_system->foo()".

For classes which do not have a way to get access to block size but
still used makeLineAddress, getOffset, etc., the block size must be
passed to that class. This requires some changes to the SimObject
interface for two commonly used classes: DirectoryMemory and
RubyPrefecther, resulting in user-facing API changes

User-facing API changes:
 - DirectoryMemory and RubyPrefetcher now require the cache line size as
   a non-optional argument.
 - RubySequencer SimObjects now require RubySystem as a non-optional
   argument.
 - TesterThread in the GPU ruby tester now requires the cache line size
   as a non-optional argument.

(3) Removes static member variables in RubySystem which control
randomization, cooldown, and warmup. These are mostly used by the Ruby
Network. The network classes are modified to take these former static
variables as parameters which are passed to the corresponding method
(e.g., enqueue, delayHead, etc.) rather than needing a RubySystem object
at all.

Change-Id: Ia63c2ad5cf0bf9d1cbdffba5d3a679bb4d3b1220

(4) There are two major SLICC generated static methods:
getNumControllers()
on each cache controller which returns the number of controllers created
by the configs at run time and the functions which access this method,
which are MachineType_base_count and MachineType_base_number. These need
to be removed to create multiple RubySystem objects otherwise NetDest,
version value, and other objects are incorrect.

To remove the static requirement, MachineType_base_count and
MachineType_base_number are moved to RubySystem. Any class which needs
to call these methods must now have a pointer to a RubySystem. To enable
that, several changes are made:
 - RubyRequest and Message now require a RubySystem pointer in the
   constructor. The pointer is passed to fields in the Message class
   which require a RubySystem pointer (e.g., NetDest). SLICC is modified
   to do this automatically.
 - SLICC structures may now optionally take an "implicit constructor"
   which can be used to call a non-default constructor for locally
   defined variables (e.g., temporary variables within SLICC actions). A
   statement such as "NetDest bcast_dest;" in SLICC will implicitly
   append a call to the NetDest constructor taking RubySystem, for
   example.
 - RubySystem gets passed to Ruby network objects (Network, Topology).

CPU was executing an instruction even if it did not have the required
functional unit in the FU pool.

We are adding the crypto descriptors to the Default FU pool in the O3
cpu so that no panic is encountered upon executing of a crypto
instruction

3fc21da13c learning-gem5,tests: Update learning-gem5 Ruby Test ref (#1635)
The Daily tests have been failing as the learning-gem5 Ruby test now
exits at tick 9831 instead of tick 9981.

**Note**: The cause of this change is currently unknown. I'm not sure if
this is symptomatic of something bigger but for now I only observe this
bug failure and this patch at least silences the error.

6ff3821c9d arch-riscv: Enable clone3 syscall in riscv64 (#1620)
The clone3 syscall, implemented in commit 87e774c, is currently only
handled for x86-64 in gem5 SE mode. Clone3 is employed by modern glibc
versions instead of clone for processes/threads generation (e.g. issue
#1204). This commit enables the clone3 syscall in riscv64 by adding the
corresponding handler call, as well as its arguments struct.

f5858fe81f dev-amdgpu: Deprecate rom and mmio trace params (#1633)
The ROM field was originally intended as a future alternate way to load
VBIOS without the ROM being on the disk image. This code path is never
taken for the devices gem5 supports and there is no gem5 implementation.
Deprecate the rom_binary field for this reason.

Similarly, MMIO traces were only used for Vega10. Deprecate this as
Vega10 is now deprecated. The MMIO trace reader is kept as it may still
be useful in the future. It is still the primary way to handle devies
which have graphics capability. None of the devices supported by gem5
have graphics now that Vega10 is deprecated.
