A memory image can be described by an object file, but an object file
is more than a memory image. Also, it makes sense to manipulate a
memory image to, for instance, change how it's loaded into memory. That
takes on larger implications (relocations, the entry point, symbols,
etc.) when talking about the whole object file, and also modifies
aspects which may not need to change. For instance if an image needs
to be loaded into memory at addresses different from what's in the
object file, but other things like symbols need to stay unmodified.

The interpreter is a separate object file, and while it's convenient to
hide loading it in the code which loads the main object file, it breaks
the conceptual abstraction since you only asked it to load the main
object file.
Also, this makes every object file format reimplement the idea of
loading the interpreter. Admittedly only ELF recognizes and sets up
an interpreter, but other formats conceptually could too.
This does move that limitted hypothetical redundancy out of the object
file formats and moves it into the process objects, but I think
conceptually that's where it belongs. It would also probably be pretty
easy to add a method to the base Process class that would handle
loading an image and also the interpreter image.
This change does not (yet) separate reading symbol tables.

The ObjectFile class has hardcoded assumptions that there are three
segments, text, bss and data. There are some files which have one
"segment" like raw files, where the entire file's contents are
considered a single segment. There are also ELF files which can have
an arbitrary number of segments, and those segments can hold any
number of sections, including the text, data and/or bss sections.
Removing this assumption frees up some object file formats from having
to twist themselves to fit in that structure, possibly introducing
ambiguities when some segments may fulfill multiple roles.

of memory, and a single segment may contain multiple sections which

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.

These accessors can be implemented as helper functions within MIPS
without having to plumb them through a bunch of common interfaces.
There are a few problems with the way they were implemented which are
carried forward to this new implementation as well. That includes
hiding the register accesses from the ISA parser and therefore the
CPU's dependency tracking, potentially panicing or accessing a non
existent thread based on a possible set of input values, and modifying
register values even if an instruction is being executed speculatively.
Fixing these problems would be fairly involved and require changing how
dependencies are tracked in all the CPUs so that they can act across
threads, and also how registers are handled in the ISA description
itself.
The original implementation just punted on making this work in CPUs
other than the minor CPU (and potentially one or more CPU models that
were not and/or are not in the code base). Where as that implementation
might have paniced if these methods were called, this will attempt to
work, but may have incorrect behavior based on the limitations
described above. I'd consider this an acceptable tradeoff, at least for
the time being.

register, there's no reason to override the value to be signed. If the
value is expanded into a larger value, then extra bits may get set
unintentionally through sign extension. Even if an instruction
produces a value which should be interpreted as signed, it will still
only produce a value of a certain predefined width, even if that answer
ends up stored in a larger variable.

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.
