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).
This commit changes metric units (e.g. kB, MB, and GB) to binary units
(KiB, MiB, GiB) in various files. This PR covers files that were missed
by a previous PR that also made these changes.
This commit contains the rest of the base 2 vs base 10 cache/memory
size clarifications. It also changes the warning message to use
warn(). With these changes, the warning message should now no
longer show up during a fresh compilation of gem5.

Remove the line "For use for simulation and test purposes only" in files
were AMD is the only copyright holder listed in the header. This happens
to be the case for all files where this line exists, removing it
completely from gem5.

This patch is adding an extra parameter to the Ruby.create_system
function. The idea is to remove any assumption about cpu configuration
in the ruby scripts.
At the moment the scripts are assuming a flat list of cpu assigned
to the system object. Unfortunately this is not standardized, as
some systems might empoloy a different layout of cpus, like grouping
them in cluster objects.
With this patch we are allowing client scripts to provide the cpu list
as an extra argument
This has the extra benefit of removing the indexing hack
if len(system.cpu) == 1:
which was present in most scripts

Add a DMA thread tester to the Ruby GPU tester to test the DMA state
machine in the protocol. Currently creates a dummy DMA device to pass
through Ruby.py and scans for the DMA sequencers due to opaqueness of
Ruby.py.
DMA atomics not yet supported as there is no protocol that implements
atomic transitions in the DMA state machine file.
Example run command:
build/GCN3_X86/gem5.opt configs/example/ruby_gpu_random_test.py \

Python 2.7 used to return lists for operations such as map and range,
this has changed in Python 3. To make the configs Python 3 compliant,
add explicit conversions from iterators to lists where needed, replace
xrange with range, and fix changes to exec syntax.
This change doesn't fix import paths since that might require us to
restructure the configs slightly.

This patch breaks out the most basic configuration options into a set
of base options, to allow them to be used also by scripts that do not
involve any ISA, and thus no actual CPUs or devices.
The patch also fixes a few modules so that they can be imported in a
NULL build, and avoid dragging in FSConfig every time Options is
imported.
Continue along the same line as the recent patch that made the
Ruby-related config scripts Python packages and make also the
configs/common directory a package.
All affected config scripts are updated (hopefully).
Note that this change makes it apparent that the current organisation
and naming of the config directory and its subdirectories is rather
chaotic. We mix scripts that are directly invoked with scripts that
merely contain convenience functions. While it is not addressed in
this patch we should follow up with a re-organisation of the
config structure, and renaming of some of the packages.
This patch moves the addition of network options into the Ruby module
to avoid the regressions all having to add it explicitly. Doing this
exposes an issue in our current config system though, namely the fact
that addtoPath is relative to the Python script being executed. Since
both example and regression scripts use the Ruby module we would end
up with two different (relative) paths being added. Instead we take a
first step at turning the config modules into Python packages, simply
by adding a __init__.py in the configs/ruby, configs/topologies and
configs/network subdirectories.
As a result, we can now add the top-level configs directory to the
Python search path, and then use the package names in the various
modules. The example scripts are also updated, and the messy
path-deducing variations in the scripts are unified.
