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.

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.

Splitting hw_prefetches into prefetch_hits and prefetch_misses so both
events can be tracked separately. Also added appropriate functions to
increment stats. Renamed m_prefetches for consistency.
sw_prefetches is not used and has been removed. The sequencer converts
SW prefetch requests into a RubyRequestType_LD/RubyRequestType_ST
which are handled as demand requests by the all current protocols.

This commit makes move stats from several classes in mem/ruby
to corresponding Stats::Group's.
For ruby's Profiler, additional changes are made: there are stats that
are profiled for each of RequestType, for each of MachineType, and for
each of combinations of RequestType and MachineType. The current naming
scheme is ...<stat_name>.<request_type_name>.<machine_type_name>. To make
it easier for stats parser to know whether the stat is of RequestType, or
is of MachineType, or is of (RequestType, MachineType), a prefix is added
as follows,
...<meta>.<stat_name>.<request_type_name>.<machine_type_name>
where <meta> is one of {RequestType, MachineType, RequestTypeMachineType}.
Another point of using this naming scheme is that the parser doesn't
need to know all of RequestType and MachineType.

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 patch augments the MESI_Three_Level Ruby protocol with hardware
transactional memory support.
The HTM implementation relies on buffering of speculative memory updates.
The core notifies the L0 cache controller that a new transaction has
started and the controller in turn places itself in transactional state
(htmTransactionalState := true).
When operating in transactional state, the usual MESI protocol changes
slightly. Lines loaded or stored are marked as part of a transaction's
read and write set respectively. If there is an invalidation request to
cache line in the read/write set, the transaction is marked as failed.
Similarly, if there is a read request by another core to a speculatively
written cache line, i.e. in the write set, the transaction is marked as
failed. If failed, all subsequent loads and stores from the core are
made benign, i.e. made into NOPS at the cache controller, and responses
are marked to indicate that the transactional state has failed. When the
core receives these marked responses, it generates a HtmFailureFault
with the reason for the transaction failure. Servicing this fault does
two things--
(a) Restores the architectural checkpoint
(b) Sends an HTM abort signal to the cache controller
The restoration includes all registers in the checkpoint as well as the
program counter of the instruction before the transaction started.
The abort signal is sent to the L0 cache controller and resets the
failed transactional state. It resets the transactional read and write
sets and invalidates any speculatively written cache lines. It also
exits the transactional state so that the MESI protocol operates as
usual.
Alternatively, if the instructions within a transaction complete without
triggering a HtmFailureFault, the transaction can be committed. The core
is responsible for notifying the cache controller that the transaction
is complete and the cache controller makes all speculative writes
visible to the rest of the system and exits the transactional state.
Notifting the cache controller is done through HtmCmd Requests which are
a subtype of Load Requests.

Add support in Ruby to use all replacement policies in Classic.
Furthermore, if new replacement policies are added to the
Classic system, the Ruby system will recognize new policies
without any other changes in Ruby system. The following list
all the major changes:
* Make Ruby cache entries (AbstractCacheEntry) inherit from
Classic cache entries (ReplaceableEntry). By doing this,
replacement policies can use cache entries from Ruby caches.
AccessPermission and print function are moved from
AbstractEntry to AbstractCacheEntry, so AbstractEntry is no
longer needed.
* DirectoryMemory and all SLICC files are changed to use
AbstractCacheEntry as their cache entry interface. So do the
python files in mem/slicc/ast which check the entry
interface.
* "main='false'" argument is added to the protocol files where
the DirectoryEntry is defined. This change helps
differentiate DirectoryEntry from CacheEntry because they are
both the instances of AbstractCacheEntry now.
* Use BaseReplacementPolicy in Ruby caches instead of
AbstractReplacementPolicy so that Ruby caches will recognize
the replacement policies from Classic.
* Add getLastAccess() and useOccupancy() function to Classic
system so that Ruby caches can use them. Move lastTouchTick
to ReplacementData struct because it's needed by
getLastAccess() to return the correct value.
* Add a 2-dimensional array of ReplacementData in Ruby caches
to store information for different replacement policies. Note
that, unlike Classic caches, where policy information is
stored in cache entries, the policy information needs to be
stored in a new 2-dimensional array. This is due to Ruby
caches deleting the cache entry every time the corresponding
cache line get evicted.

This patch moves away from using M5_ATTR_OVERRIDE and the m5::hashmap
(and similar) abstractions, as these are no longer needed with gcc 4.7
and clang 3.1 as minimum compiler versions.
Currently the sequencer calls the function setMRU that updates the replacement
policy structures with the first level caches. While functionally this is
correct, the problem is that this requires calling findTagInSet() which is an
expensive function. This patch removes the calls to setMRU from the sequencer.
All controllers should now update the replacement policy on their own.
The set and the way index for a given cache entry can be found within the
AbstractCacheEntry structure. Use these indicies to update the replacement
policy structures.
The sequencer takes care of llsc accesses by calling upon functions
from the CacheMemory. This is unnecessary once the required CacheEntry object
is available. Thus some of the calls to findTagInSet() are avoided.

This patch eliminates the type Address defined by the ruby memory system.
This memory system would now use the type Addr that is in use by the
rest of the system.
The RubyCache (CacheMemory) latency parameter is only used for top-level caches
instantiated for Ruby coherence protocols. However, the top-level cache hit
latency is assessed by the Sequencer as accesses flow through to the cache
hierarchy. Further, protocol state machines should be enforcing these cache hit
latencies, but RubyCaches do not expose their latency to any existng state
machines through the SLICC/C++ interface. Thus, the RubyCache latency parameter
is superfluous for all caches. This is confusing for users.
As a step toward pushing L0/L1 cache hit latency into the top-level cache
controllers, move their latencies out of the RubyCache declarations and over to
their Sequencers. Eventually, these Sequencer parameters should be exposed as
parameters to the top-level cache controllers, which should assess the latency.
NOTE: Assessing these latencies in the cache controllers will require modifying
each to eliminate instantaneous Ruby hit callbacks in transitions that finish
accesses, which is likely a large undertaking.
This patch adds support that allows the replacement policy to identify each
cache block's access permission. This information can be useful when making
replacement decisions.
The Ruby banked array resource checks (initiated from SLICC) did a check and
allocate at the same time. If a transition needs more than one resource, then
it might check/allocate resource #1, then fail to get resource #2. Another
transition might then try to get the same resources, but in reverse order.
Deadlock.
This patch separates resource checking and resource reservation into two
steps to avoid deadlock.
This patch adds a few helpful functions that allow .sm files to directly
invalidate all cache blocks using a trigger queue rather than rely on each
individual cache block to be invalidated via requests from the mandatory
queue.
This patch exposes the tag and data array latencies to the SLICC state machines
so that it can be used to determine the correct enqueue latency for response
messages.
The Index type defined as typedef int64 does not really provide any help
since in most places we use primitive types instead of Index. Also, the name
Index is very generic that it does not merit being used as a typename.
