Adds the following hooks:
1. `check-ast`: Verifies all Python files have a AST indicating they are
valid Python.
2. `check-merge-conflict`: Checks to see if files have merge conflict
strings and blocks commits if so.
3. `check-symlinks`: Checks that symlinks in the repo still point to a
valid location.
4. `destroyed-symlinks`: Checks if symlink is replaced with a file and
if that file is identical to the file it was previously pointing too.
None of these commits change any code. They are all checks to ensure bad
code is not committed.
Misc Regs might contain rather important information about the state of
a core, e.g., information in CSR registers.
This patch enforces copying the CSR registers when switching cpus. The
bug and the proposed fix are reported here [1].

This PR adds the following the GitHub Actions runners:
1. Enables KVM to be run within docker containers within the VMs, if
permitted. Now, any Docker containers wanting to use KVM must create
containers with the `--device /dev/kvm` argument. This may make it hard
or impossible to utilize with GitHub Actions. Nonetheless it is enabled.
2. Improves the docker prune step (a cleanup step carried out after each
job) so it now removes all the Docker images in the VM.
3. Adds the "halt-helper.sh" script which automatically, and safely,
halts (shutsdown) all the VMs so maintenance tasks can be undertaken.
The return address stack (RAS) is restructured to be a separate SimObject.
This enables disabling the RAS and better separation of the functionality.
Furthermore, easier statistics and debugging.

This patch:
1. Adds setup scripting to "provision_root.sh" to setup and enable KVM,
for the 'vagrant' user, for VMs which are capable of this.
2. Runs a check on each VM to see if KVM can be run sucessfully within a
docker container. If so, the GitHub Actions runner is given a 'kvm'
label. It is unknown at this time if GitHub Runners can utlized KVM
but it is open to their processes.

Without `--all` `docker prune --force --volumes` will remove everything
exception non-dangling images. For an image to be considered dangling it
must be untagged and/or not used by a container at that time. As most of
the images we download are tagged (e.g., `:latest`) then most of our
images are never removed without the inclusion of `--all` which will
remove any image not currently used by a container.
Images were starting to accumulate on runners. This will ensure they do
not and are cleaned after each job run.

This is similar to [1] and [2].
Essentially, the VS bits of STATUS CSR keep track of the state of
the vector registers. (VS bits == DIRTY) means the content of vector
registers have been updated since the last time the VS bits were
updated.
This chain of changes is supposed to change the VS bits to DIRTY for if
any
vector register is potentially updated.

In commit bbc301f2f0 the generalized
`Exception` was changed back to the more specific `HTTPError`.
In this case we do not desire specific error handling. If the connection
to the database fails I want the exception handled in the way outlined:
i.e., i want the connection to be retried 4 times before giving up. With
`HTTPError`, only `HTTPError`s warrent a retry.
Changing this to `HTTPError` cause tests to fail due to a failure to
retry downloading of a resource. Here is an example:
https://github.com/gem5/gem5/actions/runs/6521543885/job/17710779784
In this case `request.urlopen` raised a `URLError`. I suspect this was
some issued to do with reaching the DNS servers. It likely would've
succeeded if it had just tried again.
THe `lvextend` command extends the logical volume. However, the
`resize2fs` command is needed to extend the filesystem to fill the
logical volume.
Prior to this patch the filesystem ran out of space despite there being
enough room in the volume. This was just wasted free space.
This only applies to pseudo instructions with their own encoding (m5
ops)... In other
words memory mapped m5 operations are not supported. This make sense as
they should
rather be treated as device accesses... Though it is something to take
into consideration
when relying on the flag
While it's plausible to define the cache_line_size as a 32-bit unsigned
int, the use of cache_line_size is way out of its original scope.
cache_line_size has been used to produce an address mask, which masking
out the offset bits from an address. For example, [1], [2], [3], and
[4]. However, since the cache_line_size is an "unsigned int", the type
of the value is not guaranteed to be 64-bit long. Subsequently, the bit
twiddling hacks in [1], [2], [3], and [4] produce 32-bit mask, i.e.,
0x00000000FFFFFFC0.
This behavior at least caused a problem in LLSC in RISC-V [5], where the
load reservation (LR) relies on the mask to produce the cache block
address. Two distinct 64-bit addresses can be mapped to the same cache
block using the above mask.
This patch explicitly defines cache_line_size as a 64-bit unsigned int
so the cache block mask can be produced correctly for 64-bit addresses.

With -m, you can now run a module from the command line that is embedded
in the gem5 binary.
This will allow us to put some common "scripts" in the stdlib instead of
in the "configs" directory.
PR #367 adds an option to configs/ruby/GPU_VIPER.py that was not added
to the corresponding dGPU equal for GPUFS and thus all GPUFS runs are
failing. Fixed in this patch.
Added checks to ensure that atomics are not performed in the TCC when it
is configured as a write-through cache. Also added SLC bit overwrite to
ensure directory preforms atomics when there is a write-through TCC.

This PR updates cache recorder to use a vector of RubyPorts for cache
cooldown and warmup instead of Sequencer or GPUCoalescer vectors (refer
to issue #403 for more details). It also removes the extra guards that
were added in #377 to prevent compile-time failures in non-GPU builds.
PR https://github.com/gem5/gem5/pull/396 updates the gem5 SST bridge to

13.0.0 instead of SST 11.1.0. It also updates the dockerfile.

Every AArch32 implementation must still support the
"Trivial Jazelle implementation", which means that while

for privileged software to access some Jazelle registers

A previous commit added BUILD_GPU guards to gpu coalescer models since
a related cache recorder commit added GPU support. This is no longer
needed since the cache recorder moved to using a vector of RubyPorts
instead of Sequencer/GPUCoalescer pointers. This commit removes
BUILD_GPU guards from the Ruby coalescer models

Previously, the cache recorder used a vector of sequencer pointers to
access Ruby objects. A recent commit updated the cache recorder to also
maintain a vector of GPUCoalescer pointers in order for GPUs to support
flushin. This added redundant code to the cache recorder. This commit
replaces the sequencer and GPUCoalescer vectors with a vector of
RubyPort pointers so that the code does not contain redundant lines

This is a standard compare and swap but implemented on vector memory
buffer instructions (i.e., it is the same as FLAT_ATOMIC_CMPSWAP with
MUBUF's special address calculation).
This was tested using a Tensile kernel, a backend for rocBLAS, which is
used by PyTorch and Tensorflow. Prior to this patch both ML frameworks
crashed. With this patch they both make forward progress.

This instruction is used by ML frameworks to prioritize certain
wavefronts. Since gem5 does not have any support for wavefront
scheduling based on priority (besides wavefront age), we ignore this
instruction and warn_once rather than calling panic. Since hardware can
override this priority anyways, we can be sure that ignoring the value
will not inhibit forward progress resulting in application hangs.

This change updates the gem5 SST Bridge to use SST 13.0.0. Changes are
made to replace SimpleMem class to StandardMem class as SimpleMem will
be deprecated in SST 14 and above. In addition, the translator.hh is
updated to translate more types of gem5 packets. A new parameter `ports`
was added on SST's side when invoking the gem5 component which does not
require recompiling the gem5 component whenever a new outgoing bridge is
added in a gem5 config.
This adds the [pyupgrade](https://github.com/asottile/pyupgrade) hook to
pre-commit.
This hook automatically upgrades the syntax to the recommended standards
for the newer version of the language.
Memory instructions acquire coalescer tokens in the schedule stage.
Currently this is only done for buffer and flat instructions, but not
flat global or flat scratch. This change now acquires tokens for flat
global and flat scratch instructions. This provides back-pressure to the
CUs and helps to avoid deadlocks in Ruby.
The change also handles returning tokens for buffer, flat global, and
flat scratch instructions. This was previously only being done for
normal flat instructions leading to deadlocks in some applications when
the tokens were exhausted.
To simplify the logic, added a needsToken() method to GPUDynInst which
return if the instruction is buffer or any flat segment.
The waitcnts were also incorrect for flat global and flat scratch. We
should always decrement vmem and exp count for stores and only normal
flat instructions should decrement lgkm. Currently vmem/exp are not
decremented for flat global and flat scratch which can lead to deadlock.
This change set fixes this by always decrementing vmem/exp and lgkm only
for normal flat instructions.
