Currently the System class has a mechanism to wait for a GDB connection
for each CPU which has requested it through one of its parameters.
Unfortunately, not every thread context/CPU will be ready for GDB at
that point, particularly considering that in an FS simulation the
kernel won't have been read so there will be no symbols, none of the
registers or the entry point will have been set.
Also in the fast models, the CPUs haven't had a chance to initialize
themselves enough by that point to respond to the API calls which are
used to implement GDB support.

Change the guest ABI for x86 pseudo instructions to explictly write rax.
This is required because for some reason, the KVM CPU overwrites rax
after the KVM MMIO sets the value.
Note: This is hacky. It will only work for the current implementations
of x86 m5 ops which have their return value in RAX. A comment is added
to the m5ops file to make this clear.

The _on_chip_memory member function is utilised at RealView level, but
it does not provide a default implementation. This assumes all platforms
extending RealView have on-chip memory. This patch provides a default
implementation for safeness.

When defining a static constexpr variable in C++11, it is still
required to have a separate definition someplace, something that can
be particularly problematic in template classes. C++17 fixes this
problem by adding inline variables which don't, but in the mean time
having a static constexpr value with no backing store will, if the
compiler decides to not fold away the storage location, cause linking
errors.
This happened to me when trying to build the debug build of ARM just
now.
By turning these expressions into static inline functions, then they
no longer need definitions elsewhere, still fold away to nothing, and
are compliant with C++11 which is currently the standard gem5 expects
to be using.

gem5 does not historically distinguish between address spaces when
interacting with gdb, and gdb doesn't really give it any address space
information to work with. To ensure we catch whatever address space
we might be in by the time we get to the interesting address, we'll set
a breakpoint in all possible address spaces simultaneously with the
expectation that we'll hit one of them.

Recent changes in the setupBootloader method didn't take into account
that the VExpress_GEM5_Base class does require "loc" to be passed
to the bootloader setup method:
setupBootLoader(self, cur_sys, loc, boot_loader=None)
However VExpress_GEM5_V2_Base was just passing cur_sys and boot_loader
so that the bootloader was being passed as loc and boot_loader was
passed as None (default parameter):
super(VExpress_GEM5_V2_Base, self).setupBootLoader(
cur_sys, boot_loader)
This patch is fixing this by removing loc from the VExpress_GEM5_Base
interface: the bootloader defaults (usinbg loc) are being set in the
derived classes (V1 and V2)

When the last event is removed from a breakpoint, then the breakpoint
itself is uninstalled from IRIS, and the list is deleted. Even though
the list has been traversed and so we don't lose track of any other
events that need to be processed, we also still need to check against
end() to see that we're done. If that now freed memory gets
overwritten, then we won't see the end and will wander right off the
end of the list into nonsense.
This change modifies the breakpoint info tracking structure to keep a
shared pointer to the event list. The pointer will still automatically
manage the list's memory so that it doesn't leak, and it won't get
deleted out from under us as we're iterating through it.

This only seems to be used from outside of the CPU when resetting state
at the start of execution. Since this state is already reset in
fast model, we can mostly ignore that call for now.
When more accessors are implemented, this function can be use them to
clear registers like it would on other thread contexts.

not updated correctly. The position needs to be incremented (at least)
once per argument.
Note: `position++` must be outside of the function call because of a GCC

ArmISA::clear resets the value of the architecture registers. Some of
these are cached in ArmTLB, including SCTLR. This patch invalidates the
cached copies on clear; this fixes a bug when resetting CPU cores by which
the cached SCTLR was used and SCTLR.M was set, resulting in non-arch
compliant reset behaviour and a PA being treated as a VA on translation.

I've arbitrarily chosen to make ARM the default ISA for now, since I
think it's the best supported ISA with X86 somewhere a little behind
it. As a compromise, I change all mention of ALPHA (or even ALPHA_SE!)
in comments to be X86 instead, so it gets some attention too.
