When an Evict request is received from upstream for a shared line
and the line is no longer cached locally (or on any other upstream
cache), we need to also send an Evict downstream. In this case we need
to wait until our outgoing Evict completes before completing the Evict
from upstream in order be able to resolve race conditions with incoming
snoops. E.g.: while our outgoing Evict is pending we may receive a
snoop requesting data, but we won't be able to complete this snoop if
we have already completed all upstream Evicts and we no longer have the
line.

Added a GLC atomic latency parameter (glc-atomic-latency) used when
enqueueing response messages regarding atomics directly performed in
the TCC. This latency is added in addition to the L2 response latency
(TCC_latency). This represents the latency of performing an atomic
within the L2.
With this change, the TCC response queue will receive enqueues with
varying latencies as GLC atomic responses will have this added GLC
atomic latency while data responses will not. To accommodate this in
light of the queue having strict FIFO ordering (which would be violated
here), this change also adds an optional parameter bypassStrictFIFO to
the SLICC enqueue function which allows overriding strict FIFO
requirements for individual messages on a case-by-case basis. This
parameter is only being used in the TCC's atomic response enqueue call.

Added support for performing non-SLC-set atomics in the TCC.
Previously, all atomics were being passed on by the TCC to the
directory. With this change, atomics will only be passed on if the SLC
bit is set or if the line isn't present or available in the TCC.
If a non-SLC atomic is passed on to the directory because it is not
present in the TCC, the atomic will be performed on the return path on
the Data event. To accommodate the directory not performing the atomic
in this case, this change also passes the SLC bit on to the directory.
The previously-named "Atomic" action has been renamed to
"AtomicPassOn", with the new "Atomic" corresponding to an atomic
performed directly in the TCC.

This change adds a new file to m5out which is citations.bib.
This file will contain the citations to the papers which describe the
aspects of the gem5 simulator that the simulation uses. In other words,
each simulation configuration could generate a different bib file
referencing different works.
Each SimObject can now have a set of citations associated with it. After
the system is built (in `instantiate`), the citations.bib file is
created by parsing all SimObjects that have been instantiated and taking
the union of their associated citations.
This commit is not meant to add all citations, but to act as an example
for others to add more citations to gem5.

Added WIB (Waiting on Writethrough Ack; Will be Bypassed) state which
is transitioned to when a dirty line in the TCC is evicted in a
bypassed read. Previously, we were transitioning to invalid.
While a WI (Waiting on Writethrough Ack) state exists, transitions from
it on WBAck deallocates the TBE, which contains SLC bit information
needed to trigger the Bypass event when the read response from the
directory comes in.
Without this change, WB acknowledgements from the directory in read
bypass evicts (with the SLC bit set) were being treated as if they were
read responses, leading to an invalid transition panic.

Prior to this patch, when a memory controller was failing at sending a
response to AbstractController, it would not wakeup until the next
request. This patch gives the opportunity to Ruby models to notify
memory response buffer dequeue so that AbstractController can send a

A dequeueMemRspQueue function has been added AbstractController to
automate the dequeue+notify operation.
Note that models that don't notify AbstractController will continue
working as before.

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.

By default the GPU VIPER coherence protocol uses a WT L2 cache.
However it has support for using WB caches (although this is not
tested currently). When using a WB L2 cache for the GPU, this
results in deadlocks with atomics.
Specifically, when an atomic reaches the L2 and the line is
currently in M or W, the line must be written back before the atomic
can be performed. However, the current support has two issues:
a) it never performs the atomic operation -- while VIPER current
assumes all atomics are system scope atomics and thus cannot be
performed at the L2 and this transition requires the dirty line be
written back before performing the atomic, the transition never
performs the atomic nor does the response path handle it.
b) putting the atomic action right after the write back is not
safe because we need to ensure the requests are ordered when they
reach memory -- thus we have to wait until the write back is
acknowledged before it's safe to send/perform the atomic.
To fix this, this change modifies the transition in question to
put the atomic on the stalled requests buffer, which the WBAck will
check when it returns to the L2 (and thus perform the atomic, which
will result in the atomic being sent on to the directory).
This fix has been tested and verified with both the per-checkin and
nightly GPU Ruby Random tester tests (with a WB L2 cache).

Specifically, when a load reaches the L2 and the line is currently

66d4a158 added support for AMD's GPU cache bypassing flags (GLC
for bypassing L1 caches, SLC for bypassing all caches). However,
for applications that use the GLC flag but intermix GLC- and
non-GLC accesses to the same address, this previous commit
has a bug. This bug manifests when the address is currently
valid in the L1 (TCP). In this case, the previous commit chose
to evict the line before letting the bypassing access to proceed.
However, to do this the previous commit was using the inv_invDone
action as part of the process of evicting it. This action is only
intended to be called when load acquires are being performed
(i.e., when the entire L1 cache is being flash invalidated). Thus,
calling inv_invDone for a GLC (or SLC) bypassing request caused an
assert failure since the bypassing request was not performing a
load acquire.
This commit resolves this by changing the support in this case to
simply invalidate the entry in the cache.

The current MESI_Two_Level protocol's L1 caches updates the MRU information twice per request on misses -- once when the request reaches Ruby and once when the miss is returned from another level of the memory hierarchy.
Although this approach does not cause any correctness bugs for replacement policies like LRU since this request is the LRU in both cases, it does not work correctly for other policies like SecondChance and LFU, where updating the information twice (for misses) causes them to devolve to LRU.
Note that this was not directly a problem with Ruby previously, because it only supported LRU-based policies that were unaffected by this. However, with the integration of 20879 Ruby now uses the same replacement policies as Classic (which has additional, non-LRU based replacement policies).
This patch resolves this problem by not updating the MRU information a second time for the misses. It has been tested and validated with the replacement policy tests.

This was more likely to happen with shared exclusive caches, e.g:
assume core C1 and C2 with private L1/L2 and a shared exclusive L3.
C1 has as dirty copy of the line while C2 issues a WriteUnique request
to that line. The line state is RU in the L3, so the L3 will just
forward the request to the HNF, so:
- C2 issues WU to L3 cache
- L3 acks the WU, allowing C2 to send the data, while concurrently
forwarding the WU to the HNF.
- L3 receives data from C2
- HNF sends invalidating snoops upstream because line is RU
- The snoop hazards with the pending WU at the L3 and invalidates
the data previously received. This causes an assertion to fail when
we resume handling the WU.
