DRAMSys requires cmake 3.24 or greater. By default neither Ubuntu 22.04
or 20.04 delevery this by APT.
In both cases wget is required. In 20.04 OpenSSL is required.
Then ext/dramsys README file has been updated to state this requirement.
This patch adds supports for using the "classic" prefetchers with ruby
cache controllers.
This pull request includes a few commits making the changes in this
order:
- Refactor decouples the classic cache and prefetchers interfaces
- Extras probes for later integration with ruby
- General ruby-side support
- Adds support for the CHI protocol
Commit [mem-ruby: support prefetcher in CHI
protocol](2bdb65653b)
may be used as example on how to add support for other protocols.

The change will only add include and library path if the fastmodel is
required to build. The change will benefit for most of gem5 build.

Currently, if you try to use ctrl-c while python code is running nothing
happens. This is not ideal. This change enables users to use ctrl-c
while python is running (e.g., when a large disk image is downloading).
To do this, we moved the `initSignals` function in gem5 from `main` to
the simulate loop. Thus, every time the simulate loop starts (i.e., is
called from python) gem5 will install its signal handlers. Also, when
the control is returned to python, we put python's default SIGINT
handler back.

- The resources field in workload now changed to a dict of id and
version from a string with just the id.
There was an if statement added to support both versions in develop.
Removing the if statement so that 23.1 supports the new changes only.

Solves #226
Linking the gem5 binary consists of linking numerous object files. By
default, ld optimizes for speed over for memory consumption [1]. This
leads to the huge memory consumption of gem5 at the linking stage.
This patch adds an option to add the `--no-keep-memory` flag to ld.
According to the documentation [1], this flag optimizes the memory usage
of ld.

With the use of large RVV vectors (i.e., 8K or 16K bits) and a limited
number of cacheLoadPorts, some loads take multiple cycles to execute.
This triggered certain conditions when store-to-load forwarding happens
in the middle of the execution of a load that already has outstanding
packets.
First, after store-to-load forwarding the request is marked as discarded
and the load is immediately writtenback, which triggers a writebackDone
that tries to delete the request, triggering an assert as it still has
outstanding packets. This patch avoid deleting the request leaving it
self owned, it will be deleted when the last packet arrives in
packetReplied.
Second, this patch avoid checking snoops on discarded requests by
checking if the request exists.

This patch adds RubyPrefetcherProxy, which provides means to inject
requests generated by the "classic" prefetchers into a SLICC prefetch
queue. It defines defines notifyPf* functions to be used by protocols
to notify a prefetcher. It also includes the probes required to
interface with the classic implementation.
AbstractController defines the accessor needed to snoop the caches.
A followup patch will add support for RubyPrefetcherProxy in the
CHI protocol.

hasBeenPrefetched can now take a requestor id and returns true only if
the block was prefetched by a prefetcher with the same id. This may be
necessary to properly train multiple prefetchers attached to the same
cache. If returns true if the block was prefetched by any prefetcher
when the id is not provided.

This patches decouples the prefetchers from the cache implementation
as the first step to allow using the classic prefetchers with ruby
caches. The prefetchers that need do cache lookups can do so using
the accessor object provided when the probes are notified. This may
also facilitate connecting the same prefetcher to multiple caches.

MOV instructions 8C and 8E can be prefixed with a REX prefix to extend
the source/destination register.
However, the R bit in REX will be applied to the segment register.
The decoder file checks for valid segment registers, checking the
MODRM_REG only, however, later this will be extended with the REX_R when
adding the register to the sources/destinations of the instruction.
This will trigger an assert.
Additionally, MOV instructions of various miscelaneous registers are
also not check for being valid when taking into account the REX_R bit.
This patch checks that the REX_R is not set, otherwise, UD2 will be
generated.
In a high performance CPU there is no other way than a BTB hit
to know about a branch instruction and its type. For low-end CPU's
pre-decoding might sit in from of the BPU to provide this information.
Currently, the BPU models only low-end behavior and updates the
RAS and the indirect branch prediction even without a BTB hit.
This patch adds three things to model the correct behavior for high-end
CPUs.
1. A check before the RAS and indirect predictor wheather there was
a BTB hit or not. Only for BTB hits the BPU will consolidate RAS, and
indirect predictor.
2. Since, this check requires a BTB hit for indirect branches they must
also be installed into the BTB. For returns this was already done.
3. Finally, the BTB update previously happened at squash (decode
or commit). Since this can be out-of-order that means branches from
the false path can get installed without ever been retired.
The memory translation require supervisor mode implement. If the
supervisor mode is not implemented, the satp CSR is not exists and
should not do address translation

The GPU device keeps a local copy of each ring buffers read pointer
(rptr) to avoid constant DMAs to/from host memory. This means it needs
to be periodically updated on the host side as the driver uses this to
determine how much space is left in the queue and may hang if it believe
the queue is full. For user-mode queues, this already happens when
queues are unmapped. For kernel mode queues (e.g., HIQ, KIQ) the rptr is
never updated leading to a hang.
In this patch the rptr for *all* queues is reported back to the kernel
whenever the queue reaches an empty state (rptr == wptr). Additionally
to handle PM4 queue wrap-around, the queue processing function checks if
the queue is not empty instead of rptr < wptr. This is state because the
driver fills PM4 queues with NOP packets on initialization and when wrap
around occurs.

#525 Updated DRAMSys to v5.0. This PR further improves v5.0
inforporation into gem5 by better managing its new dependencies and
updating the DRAMSys tests to use v5.0.
This PR:
1. Adds a check which throws warning if DRAMSys cannot be build due to a
missing `cmake` instead of failing with a build error. `cmake` is not a
hard gem5 requirement. It is only required to build DRAMSys in the cases
it is required. It is therefore prudent to not fail a build in cases
`cmake` is not present on the host system.
2. Updates the "all-dependency" Docker images to include the optional
dependencies `git-lfs` (needed to clone the DRAMSys repo when running
the command outlined in ext/dramsys/README -- introduced in #525) and
`cmake` (needed to build DRAMSys).
3. Updates the Weekly workflow's `dramsys-tests`' `Checkout DRAMSys` job
to clone DRAMSys in the same manner as outlined in ext/dramsys/README.
This ensures the `dram-systests` test the instructions we give users.
4. `.gitignore` is added to ext/dramsys to ignore the
ext/dramsys/DRAMSys directory when cloned for building and integration
into gem5.
(2.) Should fix our failing weekly tests:
https://github.com/gem5/gem5/actions/runs/6912511984/job/18808339821 and
(3.) will ensure the changes introduced in #525 are tested.
The V_PERM_B32 instruction is selecting the correct byte, but is
shifting into place moving by bits instead of bytes. The V_OR3_B32
instruction is calling the wrong instruction implementation in the
decoder.
This patch fixes both issues plus a bonus fix for GCN3's V_PERM_B32.
(GCN3 does not have V_OR3_B32).

This PR is fixing remaining issues in the ArmISA::Interrupt class; more
specifically it is enabling
virtual interrupts in secure mode (when FEAT_SEL2 is present). Previous
version was assuming no
virtual interrupt was possible in secure mode. We fix this assumption by
replacing the security check
with the EL2Enabled helper which closely matches the Arm pseudocode
