This expands those functions into code which extracts the virt proxy

First, the Copy* functions where mostly redundant wrappers around the
methods the proxy port already had. Second, using them forced a

Set the default release to that single value for all ISAs.
glibc has checks for the kernel version based on uname, and refuses
to start any syscall emulation programs if those checks don't pass with
error:
FATAL: kernel too old
The ideal solution to this problem is to actually implement all missing
system calls for the required kernel version and bumping the release
accordingly.
However, it is very hard to implement all missing syscalls and verify
compliance.
Previously, we have simply bumped the version manually from time to
time when major glibc versions started breaking.
This commit alleviates the problem in two ways.
Firstly, having a single kernel version for all versions means that it is
easier to bump all versions at once.
Secondly, it makes it is possible to set the release with a parameter,
which in turn can be set from the command line with:
se.py --param 'system.cpu[:].workload[:].release = "4.18.0"'

The system calls had four parameters. One of the parameters
is ThreadContext and another is Process. The ThreadContext
holds the value of the current process so the Process parameter
is redundant since the system call functions already have
indirect access.
With the old API, it is possible to call into the functions with
the wrong supplied Process which could end up being a confusing
error.
This patch removes the redundancy by forcing access through the
ThreadContext field within each system call.

specific version of the kernel stats still needs to be constructed and

Also, the AuxVector doesn't need to handle endianness flips itself. We

The AuxVector class is responsible for holding Process data.
The data that it holds is normally setup by an OS kernel in
the process address space. The purpose behind doing this is
to pass in information that the process will need for various
reasons. (Check out the enum in the header file for an idea of
what the AuxVector holds.)
The AuxVector struct was changed into a class and encapsulation
methods were added to protect access to the member variables.
The host ISA may have a different endianness than the simulated
ISA. Since data is passed between the process address space and
the simulator for auxiliary vectors, we need to worry about
maintaining endianness for the right context.

This function takes a pointer to a buffer and the current size of the
buffer as a pass by reference argument. If the size of the buffer is
sufficient, the function stores a binary representation of itself
(generally the ISA defined instruction encoding) in the buffer, and
sets the size argument to how much space it used. This could be used
by ISAs which have two instruction sizes (ARM and thumb, for example).
If the buffer size isn't sufficient, then the size parameter should be
set to what size is required, and then the function should return
without modifying the buffer.
The buffer itself should be aligned to the same standard as memory
returned by new, specifically "The pointer returned shall be suitably
aligned so that it can be converted to a pointer of any complete object
type and then used to access the object or array in the storage
allocated...". This will avoid having to memcpy buffers to avoid
unaligned accesses.
To standardize the representation of the data, it should be stored in
the buffer as little endian. Since most hosts (including ARM and x86
hosts) will be little endian, this will almost always be a no-op.

Rather than store the actual TLB entry that corresponds to a mapping,
we can just store some abstracted information (address, a few flags)
and then let the caller turn that into the appropriate entry. There
could potentially be some small amount of overhead from creating
entries vs. storing them and just installing them, but it's likely
pretty minimal since that only happens on a TLB miss (ideally rare),
and, if it is problematic, there could be some preallocated TLB
entries which are just minimally filled in as necessary.
This has the nice effect of finally making the page tables ISA
agnostic.

This constant is, first, a #define, and second only used in one place.
In that one place, it appears that the code it guards is no longer
necessary in general. It was originally written to avoid refetching a
block of data that you're still in, even if you've moved slightly
farther in it because you're skipping the next instruction due to an
annulled branch delay slot. In reality however, in SPARC, the one ISA
I'm aware of which has this sort of branching behavior, the PC state
object will correctly determine that no branch is happening in these
cases. Code lower down in the loop will then recompute where fetching
should continue based on the next PC, automatically skipping the
annulled branch slot without misinterpretting the gap as a branch.
This change therefore also removes this block of code.

CPUs have historically instantiated the architecture specific version
of the TLBs to avoid a virtual function call, making them a little bit
more dependent on what the current ISA is. Some simple performance
measurement, the x86 twolf regression on the atomic CPU, shows that
there isn't actually any performance benefit, and if anything the
simulator goes slightly faster (although still within margin of error)
when the TLB functions are virtual.
This change switches everything outside of the architectures themselves
to use the generic BaseTLB type, and then inside the ISA for them to
cast that to their architecture specific type to call into architecture
specific interfaces.
The ARM TLB needed the most adjustment since it was using non-standard
translation function signatures. Specifically, they all took an extra
"type" parameter which defaulted to normal, and translateTiming
returned a Fault. translateTiming actually doesn't need to return a
Fault because everywhere that consumed it just stored it into a
structure which it then deleted(?), and the fault is stored in the
Translation object when the translation is done.
A little more work is needed to fully obviate the arch/tlb.hh header,
so the TheISA::TLB type is still visible outside of the ISAs.
Specifically, the TlbEntry type is used in the generic PageTable which
lives in src/mem.
