c3880c2c46 mem-ruby: refactored SimpleNetwork routing
The routing algorithm is encapsulated in a separate SimObject to allow
user to implement different routing strategies. The default
implementation (WeightBased) maintains the original behavior.

72185e51b2 mem-ruby: SimpleNetwork router latencies
SimpleNetwork takes into account the network router latency parameter.
The latency may be set to zero. PerfectSwitch and Throttle events were
assigned different priorities to ensure they always execute in the same
order for zero-latency forwarding.

974a47dfb9 misc: Adopt the gem5 namespace
Apply the gem5 namespace to the codebase.

Some anonymous namespaces could theoretically be removed,
but since this change's main goal was to keep conflicts
at a minimum, it was decided not to modify much the
general shape of the files.

A few missing comments of the form "// namespace X" that
occurred before the newly added "} // namespace gem5"
have been added for consistency.

std out should not be included in the gem5 namespace, so
they weren't.

ProtoMessage has not been included in the gem5 namespace,
since I'm not familiar with how proto works.

Regarding the SystemC files, although they belong to gem5,
they actually perform integration between gem5 and SystemC;
therefore, it deserved its own separate namespace.

Files that are automatically generated have been included
in the gem5 namespace.

The .isa files currently are limited to a single namespace.
This limitation should be later removed to make it easier
to accomodate a better API.

Regarding the files in util, gem5:: was prepended where
suitable. Notice that this patch was tested as much as
possible given that most of these were already not
previously compiling.

98ac080ec4 base-stats,misc: Rename Stats namespace as statistics
As part of recent decisions regarding namespace
naming conventions, all namespaces will be changed
to snake case.

::Stats became ::statistics.

"statistics" was chosen over "stats" to avoid generating
conflicts with the already existing variables (there are
way too many "stats" in the codebase), which would make
this patch even more disturbing for the users.

8633802c3e mem-ruby: alternative interface for func. reads
A single functionalRead may not be able to get the whole latest
copy of the block in protocols that have features such as:

- a cache line can be partially present and dirty in a controller
- a cache line can be transferred over the network using multiple
  protocol-level messages

To support these cases, this patch adds an alternative function:

bool functionalRead(PacketPtr, WriteMask&)

Protocols that implement this function can partially update
the packet and use the WriteMask to mark updated bytes.
The top-level RubySystem:functionalRead then issues functionalRead
to controllers until the whole block is read.
This patch implements functionalRead(PacketPtr, WriteMask&) for all the
common messages and SimpleNetwork. A protocol-specific implementation
will be provided in a future patch.

The new interface is compiled only if required by the protocol (see
src/mem/ruby/system/SConscript). Otherwise the original interface is
used thus maintaining compatibility with previous protocols.

91d83cc8a1 misc: Standardize the way create() constructs SimObjects.
The create() method on Params structs usually instantiate SimObjects
using a constructor which takes the Params struct as a parameter
somehow. There has been a lot of needless variation in how that was
done, making it annoying to pass Params down to base classes. Some of
the different forms were:

const Params &
Params &
Params *
const Params *
Params const*

This change goes through and fixes up every constructor and every
create() method to use the const Params & form. We use a reference
because the Params struct should never be null. We use const because
neither the create method nor the consuming object should modify the
record of the parameters as they came in from the config. That would
make consuming them not idempotent, and make it impossible to tell what
the actual simulation configuration was since it would change from any
user visible form (config script, config.ini, dot pdf output).

581bae9ecb ruby: Expose MessageBuffers as SimObjects
Expose MessageBuffers from SLICC controllers as SimObjects that can be
manipulated in Python. This patch has numerous benefits:
1) First and foremost, it exposes MessageBuffers as SimObjects that can be
manipulated in Python code. This allows parameters to be set and checked in
Python code to avoid obfuscating parameters within protocol files. Further, now
as SimObjects, MessageBuffer parameters are printed to config output files as a
way to track parameters across simulations (e.g. buffer sizes)

2) Cleans up special-case code for responseFromMemory buffers, and aligns their
instantiation and use with mandatoryQueue buffers. These two special buffers
are the only MessageBuffers that are exposed to components outside of SLICC
controllers, and they're both slave ends of these buffers. They should be
exposed outside of SLICC in the same way, and this patch does it.

3) Distinguishes buffer-specific parameters from buffer-to-network parameters.
Specifically, buffer size, randomization, ordering, recycle latency, and ports
are all specific to a MessageBuffer, while the virtual network ID and type are
intrinsics of how the buffer is connected to network ports. The former are
specified in the Python object, while the latter are specified in the
controller *.sm files. Unlike buffer-specific parameters, which may need to
change depending on the simulated system structure, buffer-to-network
parameters can be specified statically for most or all different simulated
systems.

2ccdfc547d ruby: network: revert some of the changes from ad9c042dce54
The changeset ad9c042dce54 made changes to the structures under the network
directory to use a map of buffers instead of vector of buffers.
The reasoning was that not all vnets that are created are used and we
needlessly allocate more buffers than required and then iterate over them
while processing network messages.  But the move to map resulted in a slow
down which was pointed out by Andreas Hansson.  This patch moves things
back to using vector of message buffers.

7a0d5aafe4 ruby: message buffers: significant changes
This patch is the final patch in a series of patches.  The aim of the series
is to make ruby more configurable than it was.  More specifically, the
connections between controllers are not at all possible (unless one is ready
to make significant changes to the coherence protocol).  Moreover the buffers
themselves are magically connected to the network inside the slicc code.
These connections are not part of the configuration file.

This patch makes changes so that these connections will now be made in the
python configuration files associated with the protocols.  This requires
each state machine to expose the message buffers it uses for input and output.
So, the patch makes these buffers configurable members of the machines.

The patch drops the slicc code that usd to connect these buffers to the
network.  Now these buffers are exposed to the python configuration system
as Master and Slave ports.  In the configuration files, any master port
can be connected any slave port.  The file pyobject.cc has been modified to
take care of allocating the actual message buffer.  This is inline with how
other port connections work.

c1cf55c738 ruby: Statically allocate stats in SimpleNetwork, Switch, Throttle
The previous changeset (9863:9483739f83ee) used STL vector containers to
dynamically allocate stats in the Ruby SimpleNetwork, Switch and Throttle. For
gcc versions before at least 4.6.3, this causes the standard vector allocator
to call Stats copy constructors (a no-no, since stats should be allocated in
the body of each SimObject instance). Since the size of these stats arrays is
known at compile time (NOTE: after code generation), this patch changes their
allocation to be static rather than using an STL vector.

5ffc165939 ruby: improved support for functional accesses
This patch adds support to different entities in the ruby memory system
for more reliable functional read/write accesses. Only the simple network
has been augmented as of now. Later on Garnet will also support functional
accesses.
The patch adds functional access code to all the different types of messages
that protocols can send around. These messages are functionally accessed
by going through the buffers maintained by the network entities.
The patch also rectifies some of the bugs found in coherence protocols while
testing the patch.

With this patch applied, functional writes always succeed. But functional
reads can still fail.
