Add the constructors for the Vega TLB and TLB coalescers in the python
config. These need a pointer to the gpu device which is added as a
parameter. The last level TLB's page table walker is added as a dma
device to the system so that the port is connected to the GPU device
memory in the disjoint VIPER configuration file.
A portion of the the GPUFS system configuration file needs to be
shuffled around so that the shader CPU is created before the TLBs are
created so they can be connected to the shader's ports. This means the
real CPU init code needs to break once reaching the shader. The vendor
string must also be set after createThreads is called on real CPUs.

When using fast forwarding, createThreads() is not
called upon FutureCPUs. This causes segment fault
as the decoder is initialized in createThreads() and
needed when instantiating CPUs.
This commit basically fixes this by invoking
createThreads() on FutureCPUs after they are created.

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.

In order to fix several regression failures [1] the master/slave
terminology in src/cpu/BaseCPU.py was reintroduced [2].
This patch is addressing the issue by providing 2 different
ways of connecting cpu ports:
*) connectBus: The method assumes an object with a bus interface is
passed as an argument, therefore it tries to bind cpu ports to the
bus.mem_side_ports and bus.cpu_side_ports
*) connectAllPorts: No assumption on the port owning device is made.
The method simply accepts ports as arguments which will be directly
connected to the peer cpu ports
This will be used for example by ruby Sequencers

rely on that being a property of BaseCPU. This ensures
that the property is now set via the current Workload

Also, owing to its boolean nature, the argument should
ideally not expect any additional values. Hence, it is
associated with the "store_true" action.

Before the commit, the bootloader had a hardcoded entry point that it
would jump to.
However, the Linux kernel arm64 v5.8 forced us to change the kernel
entry point because the required memory alignment has changed at:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/
commit/?h=v5.8&id=cfa7ede20f133cc81cef01dc3a516dda3a9721ee
Therefore the only way to have a single bootloader that boots both
pre-v5.8 and post-v5.8 kernels is to pass that information from gem5
to the bootloader, which we do in this patch via registers.
This approach was already used by the 32-bit bootloader, which passed
that value via r3, and we try to use the same register x3 in 64-bit.
Since we are now passing this information, the this patch also removes
the hardcoding of DTB and cpu-release-addr, and also passes those
values via registers.
We store the cpu-release-addr in x5 as that value appears to have a
function similar to flags_addr, which is used only in 32-bit arm and
gets stored in r5.
This commit renames atags_addr to dtb_addr, since both are mutually
exclusive, and serve a similar purpose, DTB being the newer recommended
approach.
Similarly, flags_addr is renamed to cpu_release_addr, and it is moved
from ArmSystem into ArmFsWorkload, since it is not an intrinsic system
property, and should be together with dtb_addr instead.
Before this commit, flags_addr was being set from FSConfig.py and
configs/example/arm/devices.py to self.realview.realview_io.pio_addr
+ 0x30. This commit moves that logic into RealView.py instead, and
sets the flags address 8 bytes before the start of the DTB address.

Add NVM interface to memory controller.
This can be used with or instead of the existing
DRAM interface. Therefore, a single controller can interface
to either DRAM or NVM, or both.
Specifically, a memory channel can be configured as:
- Memory controller interfacing to DRAM only
- Memory controller interfacing to NVM only
- Memory controller interfacing to both DRAM and NVM
How data is placed or migrated between media types is outside
of the scope of this change.
The NVM interface incorporates new static delay parameters
for read and write completion. The interface defines a 2
stage read to manage non-deterministic read delays while
enabling deterministic data transfer, similar to NVDIMM-P.
The NVM interface also includes parameters to define
read and write buffers on the media side (on-DIMM). These are
utilized to quickly offload commands and write data, mitigating
the effects of lower latency and bandwidth media characteristics.
