The InstResult class is always used to store a register value, and also
only used to store a RegVal and not any more complex type like a
VecRegContainer. This is partially because the methods that *would*
store a complex result only have a pointer to work with, and don't have
a type to cast to to store the result in the InstResult.
This change reworks the InstResult class to hold the RegClass the
register goes with, and also either a standard RegVal, or a pointer to a
blob of memory holding the actual value if RegVal isn't appropriate. If
the InstResult has no RegClass, it is considered invalid.
To make working with InstResult easier, it also now has an "asString"
method which will just call into the RegClass's valString method with
the appropriate pointer.
By removing the ultimately unnecessary generality of the original class,
this change also simplifies InstResult significantly.

These registers used to be accessed with a two dimensional index, with
one dimension specifying the register, and the second index specifying
the element within that register. This change linearizes that index down
to one dimension, where the elements of each register are laid out one
after the other in sequence.

The BaseCPU type had been specializing itself based on the value of
TARGET_ISA, which is not compatible with building more than one ISA at a
time.
This change refactors the CPU models so that the BaseCPU is more
general, and the ISA specific components are added to the CPU when the
CPU types are fully specialized. For instance, The AtomicSimpleCPU has a
version called X86AtomicSimpleCPU which installs the X86 specific
aspects of the CPU.
This specialization is done in three ways.
1. The mmu parameter is assigned an instance of the architecture
specific MMU type. This provides a reasonable default, but also avoids
having having to use the ISA specific type when the parameter is
created.
2. The ISA specific types are made available as class attributes, and
the utility functions (including __init__!) in the BaseCPU class can
refer to them to get the types they need to set up the CPU at run time.
Because SimObjects have strange, unhelpful semantics as far as assigning
to their attributes, these types need to be set up in a non-SimObject
class, which is then brought in as a base of the actual SimObject type.
Because the metaclass of this other type is just "type", things work
like you would expect. The SimObject doesn't do any special processing
of base classes if they aren't also SimObjects, so these attributes
survive and are accessible using normal lookup in the BaseCPU class.
3. There are some methods like addCheckerCPU and properties like
needsTSO which have ISA specific values or behaviors. These are set in
the ISA specific subclass, where they are inherently specific to an ISA
and don't need to check TARGET_ISA.
Also, the DummyChecker which was set up for the BaseSimpleCPU which
doesn't actually do anything in either C++ or python was not carried
forward. The CPU type still exists, but it isn't installed in the
simple CPUs.
To provide backward compatibility, each ISA implements a .py file which
matches the original .py for a CPU, and the original is renamed with a
Base prefix. The ISA specific version creates an alias with the old CPU
name which maps to the ISA specific type. This way, old scripts which
refer to, for example, AtomicSimpleCPU, will get the X86AtomicSimpleCPU
if the x86 version was compiled in, the ArmAtomicSimpleCPU on arm, etc.
Unfortunately, because of how tags on PySource and by extension SimObjects
are implemented right now, if you set the tags on two SimObjects or
PySources which have the same module path, the later will overwrite the
former whether or not they both would be included. There are some
changes in review which would revamp this and make it work like you
would expect, without this central bookkeeping which has the conflict.
Since I can't use that here, I fell back to checking TARGET_ISA to
decide whether to tell SCons about those files at all.
In the long term, this mechanism should be revamped so that these
compatibility types are only available if there is exactly one ISA
compiled into gem5. After the configs have been updated and no longer
assume they can use AtomicSimpleCPU in all cases, then these types can
be deleted.
Also, because ISAs can now either provide subclasses for a CPU or not,
the CPU_MODELS variable has been removed, meaning the non-ISA
specialized versions of those CPU models will always be included in
gem5, except when building the NULL ISA.
In the future, a more granular config mechanism will hopefully be
implemented for *all* of gem5 and not just the CPUs, and these can be
conditional again in case you only need certain models, and want to
reduce build time or binary size by excluding the others.

This was originally intended to make it more efficient to get the
microPC without making a copy of the entire PCState object to return.
Now that the PCState is returned through a pointer without a copy and
the microPC can be accessed with an inline accessor, we don't need to
create a special accessor for it.

Use templates to delegate knowing what these types are to whatever is using
InstResult. This will need to be even more generalized at these call
sights so that we don't just push around the dependencies, but that will
have to be handled later.

These methods are all identical now. The O3 versions can all be
consolidated into a single method. For the checker CPU, they can
actually be eliminated entirely, and the result queue's "emplace()"
method can be used to add items using less text than just calling the
original helper method.

Currently, compiling CheckerCPU uses the dyn_inst.hh header from
O3CPU. However, including this header is not required and it
causes gem5 failed to build when O3CPU is not part of CPU_MODELS.
This change also involves moving the the dependency on
src/cpu/o3/dyn_inst.hh to src/cpu/o3/cpu.cc and src/cpu/lsq_unit.cc,
which previously includes src/cpu/o3/dyn_inst.hh implicitly through
src/cpu/checker/cpu.hh.

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.

The O3CPU, which supports transactional memory (HTM), is using
the inHtmTransactionalState and getHtmCheckpointPtr methods
to check if we are in the middle of a transaction and return
false or a nullptr if that's not the case.
We need to avoid aborting simulation (panic) when those methods are
called in the O3CPU + Checker simulation.
This patch is providing the minimal support to re-enable O3 + Checker
runs and it is not providing HTM support in the CheckerCPU (meaning, we
won't be able to use the Checker in a transactional simulation)
