Currently, taking a checkpoint with a ruby cache involves moving all
the dirty data in cache to memory. This is done by keeping **only**
simulating the cache until all dirty data are flushed to the memory
before taking the checkpoint.
However, when the cache does not have dirty data, it is a problem if
we keep simulating the cache. E.g., calling checkpoint caused the gem5
"empty event queue" assertion fault when running the ruby cache in
atomic_noncaching mode. Since the mode bypasses the cache, all blocks
are invalid and do not contain dirty data. Subsequently, there is no
event placed to the event queue when we keep **only** simulating the
cache before taking the checkpoint.
This patch fixes this problem by checking if there is any actionable
item when trying to move dirty data to memory. If there is no block
contains dirty data, we simply choose not to continue simulating the
cache before taking the checkpoint.

The SwitchableProcessors in the standard library have switched-in and
switched-out cores. The `get_cores` API in the stdlib only returns
switched-in cores. In most uses this is desirable.
In the case of setting workloads in SE mode it's necessary to set the
workload to every core, switched-in and switched-out. As the `get_cores`
function was used for this, SwitchableProcessors were failing when used
in SE Mode.
This patch checks the processor type and, if a SwitchableProcessor, uses
the SwitchableProcessor's special `_all_cores` function which gets all
the cores, regardless as to their switched-in/switched-out status.

The Tarmac v8 Register ("R") record serialisation formats the
underlying 64-bit storage using a format string field width specifier.
This sets a minimum number of hex characters for the value, rather
than a maximum number of characters.
Because of this, when formatting a narrowed view of a larger
register (e.g. the 32-bit w0 view of the 64-bit x0 register), if any
of the upper bits in the underlying storage are set, then the number
of hex characters used will be the minimum number required to
represent the full value. This could result in irregular formatting,
for example an odd number of hex characters.
This irregular formatting can cause parsing warnings or failures in
some Tarmac tools, for example the Arm Tarmac Trace Utilities [1].
This patch modifies the "R" record formatting to first mask off the
upper bits of the value in the underlying storage to ensure that the
correct number of hex characters are used for the size of the register
being serialised.

A flag, introduced in this patch:
https://gem5-review.googlesource.com/c/public/gem5/+/68518
allowed users to pass "no-duplicate-sources" to a gem5 compilation to
not symlink sources in the build directory.
In this patch "src" was added as a shared top-level header directory.
This means that the header files are not copied to the "build" directory
whether or not "no-duplicate-sources" is set.
This patch ensures the "src" directory is only added as a shared
top-level headers directory in the case where "no-duplicate-sources" is
set.
In addition, the "duplicate_sources" parameter (the destination for the
"no-duplicate-sources") was "None" by default, and only set to False
when the flag was used. `default=True` has been added so
"duplicate_sources" can be used as a boolean.
This bug was a cause of a Nightly build error:
https://jenkins.gem5.org/job/nightly/570
In this error, building ext/sst resulted in an error as the Makefile
depends on adding "build/RISCV" to the include path. Without the header
files in the "build" directory, building SST failed. Though, ext/stt
should probably not be using header files in the "build/RISCV"
directory. This will be fixed in another change.

Normally this would just generate a warning, but a warning is easy to
miss, and truncating the path to fit would be surprising. Since the max
length isn't likely to change, a path which has to be truncated is
essentially fundementally wrong, and could be defined as something
else which is short enough before being used in the config.
Note that this only applies to either the abstract path which is just
a string, or the file name and not the directory path on a file based
socket.

These can either be set to an integer, in which case it's interpreted
as a TCP port, or a string, in which case it's treated as a unix domain
socket. If the unix domain socket is prefixed with a "@", it will be
treated as an abstract socket.
When stored in the ini file, there is always a prefix added to make
parsing the string more systematic and less ambiguous. A port number is
prefixed with "#", an abstract socket with "@", and a socket file with
the prefix "P" for "path".

This adds a new scons flag --no-duplicate-sources to build without
linking source files to the build directory.
I find this very helpful when using CLion, since I can now generate a
compilation database using
`bear scons build/ALL/gem5.debug --no-duplicate-sources` and CLion will
now correctly semantically analyze all the files inside src/.
It also ensures that clicking on a build warning/error now opens the
real source file rather than a symlink.
This is not enabled by default since it's possible that certain use
cases are not working correctly, but the basic testing I've done so
far appears to work just fine.
It appears that with this change the `<root>/src` directory is no longer
