444cbe6250 cpu: Add a branch_prediction namespace
Encapsulate all branch-prediction-related files
in a branch_prediction namespace. This will allow
these files to be renamed to drop the BP suffix.

974a47dfb9 misc: Adopt the gem5 namespace
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.

98ac080ec4 base-stats,misc: Rename Stats namespace as statistics
As part of recent decisions regarding namespace
naming conventions, all namespaces will be changed
to snake case.

::Stats became ::statistics.

"statistics" was chosen over "stats" to avoid generating
conflicts with the already existing variables (there are
way too many "stats" in the codebase), which would make
this patch even more disturbing for the users.

2922f763e1 misc: Fix coding style for struct's opening braces
The systemc dir was not included in this fix.

First it was identified that there were only occurrences
at 0, 1, 2 and 3 levels of indentation (and a single
occurrence of 2 and 3 spaces), using:

    grep -nrE --exclude-dir=systemc \
        "^ *struct [A-Za-z].* {$" src/

Then the following commands were run to replace:

<indent level>struct X ... {

by:

<indent level>struct X ...
<indent level>{

Level 0:
    grep -nrl --exclude-dir=systemc
        "^struct [A-Za-z].* {$" src/ | \
        xargs sed -Ei \
        's/^struct ([A-Za-z].*) \{$/struct \1\n\{/g'

Level 1:
    grep -nrl --exclude-dir=systemc \
        "^    struct [A-Za-z].* {$" src/ | \
        xargs sed -Ei \
        's/^    struct ([A-Za-z].*) \{$/    struct \1\n    \{/g'

and so on.

eb9e11ad96 base: Move Named class to its own file
Named can be useful in instances where trace is not required.
Because of that it has been moved to its own file.

Named is intended for public inheritance; thus it should have
a virtual destructor.

Added a unit test for the Named class.

91d83cc8a1 misc: Standardize the way create() constructs SimObjects.
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).

25dc765889 cpu: support atomic memory request type with AtomicOpFunctor
This patch enables all 4 CPU models (AtomicSimpleCPU, TimingSimpleCPU,
MinorCPU and DerivO3CPU) to issue atomic memory (AMO) requests to memory
system.

Atomic memory instruction is treated as a special store instruction in
all CPU models.

In simple CPUs, an AMO request with an associated AtomicOpFunctor is
simply sent to L1 dcache.

In MinorCPU, an AMO request bypasses store buffer and waits for any
conflicting store request(s) currently in the store buffer to retire
before the AMO request is sent to the cache. AMO requests are not buffered
in the store buffer, so their effects appear immediately in the cache.

In DerivO3CPU, an AMO request is inserted in the store buffer so that it
is delivered to the cache only after all previous stores are issued to
the cache. Data forwarding between between an outstanding AMO in the
store buffer and a subsequent load is not allowed since the AMO request
does not hold valid data until it's executed in the cache.

This implementation assumes that a target ISA implementation must insert
enough memory fences as micro-ops around an atomic instruction to
enforce a correct order of memory instructions with respect to its
memory consistency model. Without extra memory fences, this implementation
can allow AMOs and other memory instructions that do not conflict
(i.e., not target the same address) to reorder.

This implementation also assumes that atomic instructions execute within
a cache line boundary since the cache for now is not able to execute an
operation on two different cache lines in one single step. Therefore,
ISAs like x86 that require multi-cache-line atomic instructions need to
either use a pair of locking load and unlocking store or change the
cache implementation to guarantee the atomicity of an atomic
instruction.

02dafc5498 cpu: fix how a thread starts up in MinorCPU
When a thread is activated by another thread calling a clone system
call, the child thread's context is initialized in the middle of the
clone system call and before the context is fully initialized.
Therefore, the child thread starts fetching an unitialized PC, which
could lead to a page fault.

This patch adds a pipeline wakeup event that is scheduled later in the
cycle when the thread is activated. This event ensures that the first
fetch only happens after the thread context is fully initialized
(e.g., in case of clone syscall, it is when the parent thread copies
its context over to the child thread).

When a thread first starts or wakes up, input queue to the Fetch2 stage
needs to be drained since the execution flow is likely to change and
previously fetched instructions in the queue may no longer be in the
correct flow. This patch dumps/drains all inputs in the input queue
of a thread context in the Fetch2 stage when the associated thread wakes
up.

0e8a90f06b cpu: `Minor' in-order CPU model
This patch contains a new CPU model named `Minor'. Minor models a four
stage in-order execution pipeline (fetch lines, decompose into
macroops, decompose macroops into microops, execute).

The model was developed to support the ARM ISA but should be fixable
to support all the remaining gem5 ISAs. It currently also works for
Alpha, and regressions are included for ARM and Alpha (including Linux
boot).

Documentation for the model can be found in src/doc/inside-minor.doxygen and
its internal operations can be visualised using the Minorview tool
utils/minorview.py.

Minor was designed to be fairly simple and not to engage in a lot of
instruction annotation. As such, it currently has very few gathered
stats and may lack other gem5 features.

Minor is faster than the o3 model. Sample results:
