This change improves the functionality of strided generator to create
trace with better flexibility.
It allows the user to manually set offset and stride size instead of
calculating it based on a "gen_id".
This way different patterns could be created with the same SimObject.
In addition, this change adds stdlib components for strided generator.
This change adds support to use KVM cores on the ARM board. The board
simulates gic to enable KVM, similar to the gem5 ARM FS configs. The
limitation is that it only supports VExpress_GEM5_V1.

Due to a change introduced in https://github.com/gem5/gem5/pull/625, a
gem5 resource will not download any external files until
`get_local_path()` is called. In the construction of the Looppoint
Resources this function was not called, the `local_path` variable was
called directly. As such, an error occured.
The downside of this fix is the Looppoint resources external files are
downloaded when `obtain_resource` is called, thus the bandwidth savings
introduced with https://github.com/gem5/gem5/pull/625 will not occur for
Looppoint resources. However, https://github.com/gem5/gem5/issues/644
proposes a fix which would supercede the
https://github.com/gem5/gem5/pull/625 solution.

The value of a `WorkloadResource`'s additional parameter may not always
be a string. It can be any JSON value (integer, a list, a dict, ect.).
For Looppoint resources we have additional parameters such as a List of
region start points.
The assert inside workloads checking the type of the value breaks
certain usecase and is therefore removed in this commit.

RISCV full system workloads have the capability of exit the simulation loop
upon the guest's kernel panic/oops. This change adds more stdlib exit event types
to accommodate the corresponding gem5 exits upon the guest's kernel panic and
kernel oops.

`get_runtime_isa()` has been deprecated for some time. It is a leftover
piece of code from when gem5 was compiled to a single ISA and that ISA
used to configure the simulated system to use that ISA. Since multi-ISA
compilations are possible, `get_runtime_isa()` should not be used.
Unless the gem5 binary is compiled to a single ISA, a failure will
occur.
The new proceedure for specify which ISA to use is by the setting of the
correct `BaseCPU` implementation. E.g., `X86SimpleTimingCPU` of
`ArmO3CPU`.
This patch removes the remaining `get_runtime_isa()` instances and
removes the function itself. The `SimpleCore` class has been updated to
allow for it's CPU factory to return a class, needed by scripts in
"configs/common".
The deprecated functionality in the standard library, which allowed for
the specifying of an ISA when setting up a processor and/or core has
also been removed. Setting an ISA is now manditory.
Fixes#216.
The [PR](https://github.com/gem5/gem5/pull/390) adds support for new
bootloader and linux kernel. However after applying the changes the
arguments are not passed correctly to the kernel resulting in kernel
panic during simulations. This commit fixes the issue.
This change decouple's the downloading of a resource from it's data.
With this change the `obtain_resource` function returns the
`AbstractResource` implementation which contains the data. The resource
itself (e.g., the actual disk image, binary, file, etc.) is only
downloaded to the host system, if not already present, upon the
`get_local_path` call.
`get_local_path` is the function used by gem5 to ultimately load the
resource into a simulation, therefore this change ensures we only
download resources when they are loaded into a simulation.
This change is not ideal and comes with the following caveats:
1. The `downloader` function is created in `obtain_workload` and passed
to the `AbstractResource` implementation for later use. This function
comes with the following requirements:
* The function will download the resource to `local_path`.
* The function will not re-download the resources if already present
as this function is called _everytime_ `get_local_path` is called.
2. The directories needed to store `local_path` are created in
`obtain_workload` regardless. Ergo even if the resource is not used and
`get_local_path` is never called these directories are still created.
In keeping with this efficiency `ShadowResource` is introduced to allow
the storing of just the resource ID and Version of a resource with
additional information only obtained when requested.
This change does the following,
- Change the name of several python parameter names of the
RiscvBootloaderKernelWorkload. This is done to conform the expectation
from the stdlib, e.g., the kernel path must be `object_file`, and the
boot parameter must be `command_line`.
- Use RiscvBootloaderKernelWorkload by default for all full system
RISC-V simulations. RiscvBootloaderKernelWorkload is a superset of
RiscvFsWorkload.
The purpose of a `ShadowResource` is a resource which only contains the
ID and Version information, not any additional information about the
resource thus avoiding the `obtain_resource` call.
When attributes of the `ShadowResource` are accessed which can only be
obtained via `obtain_resource` the `ShowResource` calls the function and
returns what is required.
This is useful for `Suite` resources which contain several workloads
and resources which may not all be needed when the `Suite` object is
first instantiated.

Recent breaking changes in the DRAMSys API require user code to be
updated. These updates have been applied to the gem5 integration.
Furthermore, as DRAMSys started to use CMake dependency management,
it is no longer sensible to maintain two separate build systems for
DRAMSys. The use of the DRAMSys integration in gem5 will therefore
from now on require that CMake is installed on the target machine.
Additionally, support for snapshots have been implemented into DRAMSys
and coupled with gem5's checkpointing API.
arch-riscv: Fix implementation of CMO extension instructions
This change introduces a template for store instruction's mem access.
The new template is called CacheBlockBasedStore.
The reasons for not reusing the current Store's mem access template
are as follows,
- The CMO extension instructions operate on cache block size
granularity,
while regular load/store instructions operate on data of size 64 bits or
fewer.
- The writeMemAtomicLE/writeMemTimingLE interfaces do not allow passing
nullptr as data. However, CPUs in gem5 rely on (data == NULL) to detect
CACHE_BLOCK_ZERO instructions. Setting `Mem = 0;` to `uint64_t Mem;`
does not solve the problem as the reference is allocated and thus,
it's always true that `&Mem != NULL`. This change uses the
writeMemAtomic/writeMemTiming interfaces instead.
- Per CMO v1.0.1, the instructions in the spec do not generate
address misaligned faults.
- The CMO extension instructions do not use IMM.

arch-riscv: Fix generateDisassembly for Store with 1 source reg
Currently, store instructions are assumed to have two source registers.
However, since we are supporting the RISC-V CMO instructions, which
are Store instructions in gem5 but they only have one source register.
This change allows printing disassembly of Store instructions with
one source register.

arch-riscv: Make Zicbom/Zicboz extensions optional in FS mode
Currently, we're enable Zicbom/Zicboz by default. Since those
extensions might be buggy as they are not well-tested, making
those entensions optional allows running simulation where
the performance implication of the instructions do not matter.
Effectively, by turning off the extensions, we simply remove
those extensions from the device tree, so the OS would not
use them. It doesn't prohibit the userspace application to
use those instructions, however.

arch-riscv: Add all supporting Z extensions to RISC-V isa string
Previously, opening a config file (such as
`configs/example/hmc_hello.py`) containing non-ASCII characters causes
UnicodeDecodeError.
Also switch to use more an more idiomatic context manager for handling
files.

Currently, we are hardcoding the ISA string in the device tree
generator. The ISA string from the device tree affects which
ISA extensions will be used by the bootloader/kernel.
This function allows generating the ISA string from the gem5's
ISA object rather than using hardcoded values.
This series of changes also correct a couple of hardcoded
RISC-V ISA strings in the standard library, as well as not
enable RVV instructions for the U74 core model.

In commit bbc301f2f0 the generalized
`Exception` was changed back to the more specific `HTTPError`.
In this case we do not desire specific error handling. If the connection
to the database fails I want the exception handled in the way outlined:
i.e., i want the connection to be retried 4 times before giving up. With
`HTTPError`, only `HTTPError`s warrent a retry.
Changing this to `HTTPError` cause tests to fail due to a failure to
retry downloading of a resource. Here is an example:
https://github.com/gem5/gem5/actions/runs/6521543885/job/17710779784
In this case `request.urlopen` raised a `URLError`. I suspect this was
some issued to do with reaching the DNS servers. It likely would've
succeeded if it had just tried again.
With -m, you can now run a module from the command line that is embedded
in the gem5 binary.
This will allow us to put some common "scripts" in the stdlib instead of
in the "configs" directory.
Now:
* The Atlas Client will attempt a connection 4 times, using an
exponential backoff approach between attempts.
* When a failure does arise a rich output is given so problems can be
easily diagnosed.
