Most of these "rcS" scripts are only useful for specific disk images
that have long been lost to the gem5 community. This commit deletes all
of these scripts. It keeps the generally useful hack_back_cktp script
and the bbench scripts that work with the android images that are still
available.
In the future, these remaning scripts should be moved to the gem5
resources repository.

This commit does not make any functional changes but just rearranges
the existing code with regard to the power states. Previously, all
code regarding power states was in the ClockedObjects. However, it
seems more logical and cleaner to move this code into a separate
class, called PowerState. The PowerState is a now SimObject. Every
ClockedObject has a PowerState but this patch also allows for objects
with PowerState which are not ClockedObjects.

fs_power.py is an example script that demonstrates how power models
can be used with gem5. Previously, the formulas used to calculate the
dynamic and static power of the cores and the L2 cache were using
stats in equations as determined by their path relative to the
SimObject where the power model is attached to or full paths. This CL
changes these formulas to refer to the stats only by their full paths.

Before this change, running:
./build/NULL/gem5.opt configs/example/ruby_mem_test.py -m 20000000 \
--functional 10
would only print warning for memory errors such as:
warn: Read access failed at 0x107a00
and there was no way to make the simulation fail.
This commit makes those warnings into errors such as:
panic: Read access failed at 0x107a00
unless --suppress-func-errors is given.
This will be used to automate MemTest testing in later commits.

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.

The main applications are to run baremetal programs and initramfs Linux
kernel.
Before this patch, disks() calls in makeArmSystem would throw:
IOError: Can't find file 'linux-aarch32-ael.img' on M5_PATH.
In order to achieve this, this commit also removes the default hardcoded
disk image basenames.
For example, before this commit, running without a --disk-image in X86
would automatically search for an image with basename x86root.img in
M5_PATH, which means we would either have to ignore any disk image error,
or else running without disk images would fail.
After this commit, you would have to pass --disk-image x86root.img to
achieve the old behaviour.

This simplifies the SPARC FS workload significantly, and removes
assumptions about what ROMs exist, where they go, etc. It removes
other components from the loop which don't have anything to contribute
as far as setting up the ROMs.
One side effect of this is that there isn't specialized support for
adding PC based events which would fire in the ROMs, but that was never
done and the files that were being used were flat binary blobs with no
symbols in the first place.
This also necessitates building a unified image which goes into the single
8MB ROM that is located at address 0xfff0000000. That is simply done
with the following commands:
dd if=/dev/zero of=t1000_rom.bin bs=1024 count=8192
dd if=reset_new.bin of=t1000_rom.bin
dd if=q_new.bin of=t1000_rom.bin bs=1024 seek=64
dd if=openboot_new.bin of=t1000_rom.bin bs=1024 seek=512
This results in an 8MB blob which can be loaded verbatim into the ROM.
Alternatively, and with some extra effort, an ELF file could be
constructed which had each of these components as segments, offset to the
right location in the ELF header. That would be slightly more work to set up,
but wouldn't waste space on regions of the image that are all zeroes.

This change includes:
1) Verify available command bandwidth
2) Add support for multi-cycle commands
3) Add new timing parameters
4) Add ability to interleave bursts
5) Add LPDDR5 configurations
The DRAM controller historically does not verify contention on the
command bus and if there is adaquate command bandwidth to issue a
new command. As memory technologies evolve, multiple cycles are becoming
a requirement for some commands. Depending on the burst length, this
can stress the command bandwidth. A check was added to verify command
issue does not exceed a maximum value within a defined window. The
default window is a burst, with the maximum value defined based on the
burst length and media clocking characteristics. When the command bandwidth
is exceeded, commands will be shifted to subsequent burst windows.
Added support for multi-cycle commands, specifically Activate, which
requires a larger address width as capacities grow. Additionally,
added support for multi-cycle Read / Write bursts for low power
DRAM cases in which additional CLK synchronization may be required
to run at higher speeds.
To support emerging memories, added the following new timing parameters.
1) tPPD -- Precharge-to-Precharge delay
2) tAAD -- Max delay between Activate-1 and Activate-2 commands
I/O data rates are continuing to increase for DRAM but the core frequency
is still fairly stagnant for many technologies. As we increase the burst
length, either the core prefetch needs to increase (for a seamless burst)
or the burst will be transferred with gaps on the data bus. To support
the latter case, added the ability to interleave 2 bursts across bank
groups.
Using the changes above, added an initial set of LPDDR5 configurations.

Calls to queueMemoryRead and queueMemoryWrite do not consider the size
of the queue between ruby directories and DRAMCtrl which causes infinite
buffering in the queued port between the two. This adds a MessageBuffer
in between which uses enqueues in SLICC and is therefore size checked
before any SLICC transaction pushing to the buffer can occur, removing
the infinite buffering between the two.

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:

The requirement to have an environment variable exported to run a program
is not common, and many new users trip up on it.
Before this commit, M5_PATH was a requirement to run those scripts, or
else simulation would fail with:
IOError: Can't find a path to system files.
After this patch, as long as users indicate all required files with
command line options, M5_PATH is not needed.
This patch changes the M5_PATH semantics slightly to more closely match
PATH and so be more intuitive to users: after this commit, if the
given path contains a slash /, then the path is not searched for inside
M5_PATH, which is exactly how PATH works. Users can then select images
in the CWD with a leading ./ just as done for executables.
This is backwards incompatible if users were already specifying their paths
as ./, but this interface feels saner, because otherwise writing on the CLI
e.g.:
--disk-image path/to/my.disk
would previously fail to find the disk, even if it existed, which is very
counter-intuitive. The following will still fail however:
--disk-image my.disk
which is not ideal, but for now is a comprise between backwards
compatibility of having an M5_PATH and what users expect from CLI
interfaces.

All ISAs except SPARC can now take multiple disk images by passing
the --disk-image option multiple times.
Before this patch, several ISAs automatically mounted a secondary disk
called "linux-bigswap2.img", which had to be in M5_PATH even if the end
user did not want more than one disk. This was the case for for example
for X86 but not ARM.
This change was done to:
* allow ARM to have a second disk image in fs.py, which was not possible,
and allow other ISAs like X86 and ARM to take any number of disk images
* provide a simpler, more intuitive CLI interface that does not require
magic disk images to be present in M5_PATH to work for ISAs such as X86.
Linux does not need that secondary image to boot correctly, so it is
more friendly to support a minimal setup that requires the least amount
of binaries to boot, and let supply the second image manually only if
they need it.
* make fs.py --disk-image work more similarly across all ISAs
SPARC was left with a single disk only because its setup was a bit more
complex and would require further testing.

It is *not* true that a kernel is required in FS mode. For example,
in SPARC, gem5 is set up to run actual system firmware which will load
a kernel from the disk image. Other systems can run in a bare metal
mode where they also have no kernel.
If a configuration requires a kernel, it should check for it in C++
where there context lives, not globally in fs.py.

Other scripts (like se.py) blindly try to apply the indirect predictor
if one is set. Because this option defaults to something, there's no
way (as far as I know) to purposefully select nothing, and so the
simulator crashes. Users shouldn't have to proactively prevent gem5
from killing itself regardless, so the default was changed to "None".

9p allows the guest Linux kernel to mount a host directory into the guest.
This allows to very easily modify test programs after a run at the end of
boot, without the need to re-insert the changes into a disk image.
It is enabled on both fs.py and fs_bigLITTLE.py with the --vio-9p
option.
Adapted from code originally present on the wiki: http://gem5.org/WA-gem5
As documented in the CLI option help, the current setup requires the guest
to know the full path to the host share, which is annoying, but overcoming
that would require actually parsing a bit of the protocol rather than just
forwarding everything to diod.
