This vestigial device provides a thin layer of indirection between
devices and the CPUs in a system. It's basically a collection of helper
functions, but since it's a SimObject it needs to be instantiated in
python and added to configurations.

This patch is adding an extra parameter to the Ruby.create_system
function. The idea is to remove any assumption about cpu configuration
in the ruby scripts.
At the moment the scripts are assuming a flat list of cpu assigned
to the system object. Unfortunately this is not standardized, as
some systems might empoloy a different layout of cpus, like grouping
them in cluster objects.
With this patch we are allowing client scripts to provide the cpu list
as an extra argument
This has the extra benefit of removing the indexing hack
if len(system.cpu) == 1:
which was present in most scripts

If supported this will compress the debug information in object files,
libraries, and binaries. This decreases the size of the build/ARM
directory from 11GB to 7.2GB.
Because the benefit of this mechanism depends on the performance and
capacity of the build machine's storage, it can be disabled with the
--no-compress-debug scons flag. For instance if your storage is very
fast, writing out a larger binary may take less time than compressing
that same number of bytes, plus the time to write out the smaller
file.
This feature seems to make our presubmit test machine run out of memory
when trying to build gem5, and so is disabled in the testing scripts.

The 32-bit POWER reference test binary was removed in c1ebdf66f
(as a nasty surprise for POWER users).
The remaining platforms split between two approaches:
MIPS rebuilds "hello" from source.
This fails for two reasons:
1) The trivial reason is that on POWER make abends due to no makefile.
2) The more fundamental reason is that gem5 is not completely bug-free
(especially the Decoder on POWER in this case), therefore regression
testing is only possible if we have not just some hello program, but
a very particular bit sequence to serve as an immutable reference.
ARM and X86 follow the reference-bit-sequence approach. POWER will
be consistent with same. Including the sha1 for hello32,
77b27b67393311546e768b5ff35202490bad71aa, as a simple immutability
assurance. I have also renamed hello to hello32 in anticipation to
merge Sandipan's e52dbcb.

We compile GCN3_X86 for the 'quick' tests, as a substitute for X86. We
compile X86 as part of our nightly tests, along with the running of the
'long' tests. This leads to a needless duplicate compilation of the X86
isa during our nightly tests. Therefore, this commit removes GCN3_X86
for the 'long' tests (only the x86 boot tests are affected).

This patch updates Ruby configuration scripts to use the functions
defined in the RubySequencer python object to connect to cpu ports.
Only the protocol-agnostic scripts were updated. Scripts that assume
a specific protocol (e.g. configs/example/apu_se.py, gpu tests, etc)
and scripts in which the obj connected to the RubySequencer is not a
BaseCPU (e.g. the tests scripts) were not changed as they require a
non-standard port wireup.

Inside the code of cloneFunc(…) //syscall_emul.hh
cp->initState(); //line 1483
p->clone(tc, ctc, cp, flags); //line 1484
…
ctc->clearArchRegs(); //line 1503
OS::archClone(flags, p, cp, tc, ctc, newStack, tlsPtr); //line 1505
…
At line 1483, initState() is called and the activateContext() of the
corresponding MinorCPU is eventually called. The actual architecture
clone happens at line 1505 where PC of the new thread could have a
correct value.
In the existing implementation of MinorCPU::activateContext(ThreadID
thread_id), the below line 275 is called
pipeline->wakeupFetch(thread_id);
to start fetching instruction with current value of PC, which is 0x0,
leading to panic “Page table fault when accessing virtual address 0”.
This is because the OS::archClone() is not yet called. So, the below bug
fix handles the wakeup fetch for a thread for two scenarios:
...
if (!threads[thread_id]->getUseForClone())
{ //the thread is not cloned
pipeline->wakeupFetch(thread_id);
} else {//the thread from clone
if (fetchEventWrapper != NULL)
delete fetchEventWrapper;
fetchEventWrapper = new EventFunctionWrapper([this, thread_id]
{pipeline->wakeupFetch(thread_id);}, "wakeupFetch");
schedule(*fetchEventWrapper, clockEdge(Cycles(0)));
}
...
If a thread is not cloned, pipeline->wakeupFetch() is called
immediately.
For the cloned thread, the above bug fix delays the execution of
pipeline->wakeupFetch()
after the OS::archClone is done. ThreadContext::getUseForClone() return
true if a thread is cloned.
A member variable fetchEventWrapper is added to MinorCPU class for
delayed fetch event.
A member variable useForClone and its corresponding get/set methods are
added to ThreadContext class. This approach allows future reuse of this
useForClone variable by other CPU models if needed and also avoid lots
of changes resulted by modifying parameters of activateContext () and
activate() which are defined as override.
Inside the syscall cloneFunc, the useForClone member of a ThreadContext
object is set via its set method right before Process's initState() is
called, shown as below.
ctc->setUseForClone(true);
cp->initState();
p->clone(tc, ctc, cp, flags);
A few previously failed RISC-V ASM tests have been open in tests.py file
after the bug fix works.

Occasionally gem5's stdout/stderr, when run within the TestLib
framework, will be shuffled. This is resolved by flushing the
stdout/stderr buffer before and after simulation.
In addition to this, the verifier.py has been improved to remove
boilerplate gem5 code from the stdout comparison.

The log_call helper is now accepting a time parameter (dictionary). If
the param is not None, the function will fill the timing indications
(user and system time) for the TestCase.
There are some TestCases whose user time is not of our interest; for
example we don't really care about the cpu time of a stdout diff
(MatchStdout tests). In those cases the resulting cpu time in the
generated JUnit file (results.xml) will be 0.

The workload object is still optional for the sake of compatibility,
even though it probably shouldn't be in the long term. If a simulation
is just a collection of components with nothing in particular running on
it, for instance driven by a traffic generator, should it even have a
System object in the first place?

This commit adds a procedure copying those files to
testing-results/SuiteUID/TestUID/ folder, where SuiteUID and

This procedure is triggered after a test is complete and before

We were downloading resources to various different locations, for no
real reason. This standardizes the process. From this commit onwards,
all testing resources are downloaded to `tests/gem5/resources` by
default. This may be overriden via the `--bin-path` TestLib argument.
Note: In order to do this I have changed the meaning of the `bin-path`
TestLib argument slightly. Previously the `bin-path` assumed a flat
(non-existant) hierarchy. A simple directory of local resources. This
new bin-path functionality maintains logical sub-directories. This is
technically an API change and will be noted in the release notes.
