1c233ee9d2 scons: Add sim_object and enums arguments to SimObject().
This will explicitly declare what SimObject and Enum types need to be set
up in C++, which will make importing all the SimObject modules during
the setup phase of SCons uneccessary.

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

"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.

8633802c3e mem-ruby: alternative interface for func. reads
A single functionalRead may not be able to get the whole latest
copy of the block in protocols that have features such as:

- a cache line can be partially present and dirty in a controller
- a cache line can be transferred over the network using multiple
  protocol-level messages

To support these cases, this patch adds an alternative function:

bool functionalRead(PacketPtr, WriteMask&)

Protocols that implement this function can partially update
the packet and use the WriteMask to mark updated bytes.
The top-level RubySystem:functionalRead then issues functionalRead
to controllers until the whole block is read.
This patch implements functionalRead(PacketPtr, WriteMask&) for all the
common messages and SimpleNetwork. A protocol-specific implementation
will be provided in a future patch.

The new interface is compiled only if required by the protocol (see
src/mem/ruby/system/SConscript). Otherwise the original interface is
used thus maintaining compatibility with previous protocols.

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).

14e349c729 mem-ruby,mem-garnet: Multiple networks per RubySystem
Add support for multiple networks per RubySystem. This is done by
introducing local IDs to each network and translating from a global ID
passed around through Ruby and SLICC code. The local IDs represents the
NodeID of a MachineType in the network and are ordered the same way
that NodeIDs are ordered using MachineType_base_number. If there are
not multiple networks in a RubySystem the local and global IDs are the
same value.

This is useful in cases where multiple isolated networks are needed to
support devices with Ruby caches which do not interact with other
networks. For example, a dGPU device will have a cache hierarchy that
will not interact with the CPU cache hierachy.

cd9e445813 ruby: message buffer, timer table: significant changes
This patch changes MessageBuffer and TimerTable, two structures used for
buffering messages by components in ruby.  These structures would no longer
maintain pointers to clock objects.  Functions in these structures have been
changed to take as input current time in Tick.  Similarly, these structures
will not operate on Cycle valued latencies for different operations.  The
corresponding functions would need to be provided with these latencies by
components invoking the relevant functions.  These latencies should also be
in Ticks.

I felt the need for these changes while trying to speed up ruby.  The ultimate
aim is to eliminate Consumer class and replace it with an EventManager object in
the MessageBuffer and TimerTable classes.  This object would be used for
scheduling events.  The event itself would contain information on the object and
function to be invoked.

In hindsight, it seems I should have done this while I was moving away from use
of a single global clock in the memory system.  That change led to introduction
of clock objects that replaced the global clock object.  It never crossed my
mind that having clock object pointers is not a good design.  And now I really
don't like the fact that we have separate consumer, receiver and sender
pointers in message buffers.

b6b972da99 ruby: rename System.{hh,cc} to RubySystem.{hh,cc}
The eventual aim of this change is to pass RubySystem pointers through to
objects generated from the SLICC protocol code.

Because some of these objects need to dereference their RubySystem pointers,
they need access to the System.hh header file.

In src/mem/ruby/SConscript, the MakeInclude function creates single-line header
files in the build directory that do nothing except include the corresponding
header file from the source tree.

However, SLICC also generates a list of header files from its symbol table, and
writes it to mem/protocol/Types.hh in the build directory. This code assumes
that the header file name is the same as the class name.

The end result of this is the many of the generated slicc files try to include
RubySystem.hh, when the file they really need is System.hh. The path of least
resistence is just to rename System.hh to RubySystem.hh.

--HG--
rename : src/mem/ruby/system/System.cc => src/mem/ruby/system/RubySystem.cc
rename : src/mem/ruby/system/System.hh => src/mem/ruby/system/RubySystem.hh

25cd13dbf1 ruby: simple network: store Switch* in PerfectSwitch and Throttle
There are two reasons for doing so:

a. provide a source of clock to PerfectSwitch. A follow on patch removes sender
and receiver pointers from MessageBuffer means that the object owning the
buffer should have some way of providing timing info.

b. schedule events.  A follow on patch removes the consumer class.  So the
PerfectSwitch needs some EventManager object to schedule events on its own.

number of virtual networks it requires.

Additionally, the patch also refactors some of the code used for computing the
virtual channel next in the round robin order.

581bae9ecb ruby: Expose MessageBuffers as SimObjects
Expose MessageBuffers from SLICC controllers as SimObjects that can be
manipulated in Python. This patch has numerous benefits:
1) First and foremost, it exposes MessageBuffers as SimObjects that can be
manipulated in Python code. This allows parameters to be set and checked in
Python code to avoid obfuscating parameters within protocol files. Further, now
as SimObjects, MessageBuffer parameters are printed to config output files as a
way to track parameters across simulations (e.g. buffer sizes)

2) Cleans up special-case code for responseFromMemory buffers, and aligns their
instantiation and use with mandatoryQueue buffers. These two special buffers
are the only MessageBuffers that are exposed to components outside of SLICC
controllers, and they're both slave ends of these buffers. They should be
exposed outside of SLICC in the same way, and this patch does it.

3) Distinguishes buffer-specific parameters from buffer-to-network parameters.
Specifically, buffer size, randomization, ordering, recycle latency, and ports
are all specific to a MessageBuffer, while the virtual network ID and type are
intrinsics of how the buffer is connected to network ports. The former are
specified in the Python object, while the latter are specified in the
controller *.sm files. Unlike buffer-specific parameters, which may need to
change depending on the simulated system structure, buffer-to-network
parameters can be specified statically for most or all different simulated
systems.

bfe7ee96ad ruby: replace global g_abs_controls with per-RubySystem var
This is another step in the process of removing global variables
from Ruby to enable multiple RubySystem instances in a single simulation.

The list of abstract controllers is per-RubySystem and should be
represented that way, rather than as a global.

Since this is the last remaining Ruby global variable, the
src/mem/ruby/Common/Global.* files are also removed.

f9a370f172 ruby: replace global g_system_ptr with per-object pointers
This is another step in the process of removing global variables
from Ruby to enable multiple RubySystem instances in a single simulation.

With possibly multiple RubySystem objects, we can no longer use a global
variable to find "the" RubySystem object.  Instead, each Ruby component
has to carry a pointer to the RubySystem object to which it belongs.

c38f5098b1 ruby: replace g_ruby_start with per-RubySystem m_start_cycle
This patch begins the process of removing global variables from the Ruby
source with the goal of eventually allowing users to create multiple Ruby
instances in a single simulation.  Currently, users cannot do so because
several global variables and static members are referenced by the RubySystem
object in a way that assumes that there will only ever be a single RubySystem.
These need to be replaced with per-RubySystem equivalents.

This specific patch replaces the global var g_ruby_start, which is used
to calculate throughput statistics for Throttles in simple networks and
links in Garnet networks, with a RubySystem instance var m_start_cycle.

2ccdfc547d ruby: network: revert some of the changes from ad9c042dce54
The changeset ad9c042dce54 made changes to the structures under the network
directory to use a map of buffers instead of vector of buffers.
The reasoning was that not all vnets that are created are used and we
needlessly allocate more buffers than required and then iterate over them
while processing network messages.  But the move to map resulted in a slow
down which was pointed out by Andreas Hansson.  This patch moves things
back to using vector of message buffers.
