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.

(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).
Apply the gem5 namespace to the codebase.
Some anonymous namespaces could theoretically be removed,
but since this change's main goal was to keep conflicts
at a minimum, it was decided not to modify much the
general shape of the files.
A few missing comments of the form "// namespace X" that
occurred before the newly added "} // namespace gem5"
have been added for consistency.
std out should not be included in the gem5 namespace, so
they weren't.
ProtoMessage has not been included in the gem5 namespace,
since I'm not familiar with how proto works.
Regarding the SystemC files, although they belong to gem5,
they actually perform integration between gem5 and SystemC;
therefore, it deserved its own separate namespace.
Files that are automatically generated have been included
in the gem5 namespace.
The .isa files currently are limited to a single namespace.
This limitation should be later removed to make it easier
to accomodate a better API.
Regarding the files in util, gem5:: was prepended where
suitable. Notice that this patch was tested as much as
possible given that most of these were already not
previously compiling.

The create() method on Params structs usually instantiate SimObjects
using a constructor which takes the Params struct as a parameter
somehow. There has been a lot of needless variation in how that was
done, making it annoying to pass Params down to base classes. Some of
the different forms were:
const Params &
Params &
Params *
const Params *
Params const*
This change goes through and fixes up every constructor and every
create() method to use the const Params & form. We use a reference
because the Params struct should never be null. We use const because
neither the create method nor the consuming object should modify the
record of the parameters as they came in from the config. That would
make consuming them not idempotent, and make it impossible to tell what
the actual simulation configuration was since it would change from any
user visible form (config script, config.ini, dot pdf output).

This version of garnet includes HeteroGarnet which
supports heterogenous interconnect systems, flexible
router and link configurations, and better debugging
resources.
This patch changes the garnet directory structure
to not include the version number. The user will be
informed about the garnet version being used.
