6e23be0693 python: Get rid of ipython 0.10 and older support code.
Version 0.11 was actually the first version of ipython which even
supported python 3 at all, as far as I can tell. Because we have a
requirement to use at least python 3 (and not just 3.0 at that), we can
assume that the user must be using at least version 0.11 of ipython.
That means we can remove code which supported older versions.

011dc236d3 python: Get rid of some unused cruft in main.py.
There was some code at the end of main.py which would let you run it
directly. This would parse options passed to the script, and show you
what they equaled.

Also, the "main" function would optionally let you pass in options to
override whatever it would find with parse_arguments. This is no longer
used.

0998e99131 python: Add a --silent-redirect option to gem5.
This complements the --redirect-stdout and --redirect-stderr options and
supresses the message about where those streams are being redirected
which print to the original stdout.

Usually this is very helpful since it lets you know where to look for
simulator output. If you're running gem5 in an automated environment
like our testing framework however, the file name is a random temp file
which will be deleted as soon as the test is finished running.

The --silent-redirect option can be used in these particular scenarios
to, for example, avoid lots and lots of useless lines in the test output
naming files that no longer exist.

a2c42a12b1 scons,python: Stop importing some values in m5.defines.
The compileDate and gem5Version fields are used in only one place,
gem5's python main function. These fields are the remaining difference
between the "fake" defines.py provided by the SimObject importer, and
the real one composed later. It makes sense to exclude them in the
"fake" version since those values come from c++, but it would feel like
an arbitrary and unexpected difference to people trying to use it.

772ca27a97 misc: Added line wrapping functionality for Sim-Object desc
Descriptions were previously printed on one line, unless explicitly broken
when writing the description of the Sim-Object. In this commit, line
wrapping is enabled when printing these descriptions. Developers, when
writing the Sim-Object descriptions, may now over multiple lines with
triple double-quotes and still have the description output correctly when
viewing the Sim-Objects within the CLI.

E.g.: X86System previously had the following load_addr_mask component which
was output as:

load_addr_mask
            default: 18446744073709551615
               desc: Address to mask loading binaries with, if 0, system \
auto-calculates the mask to be the most restrictive, otherwise it obeys a \
custom mask.

This was defined by the developer via:

load_addr_mask = Param.UInt64(0xffffffffffffffff,
            "Address to mask loading binaries with, if 0, system "
            "auto-calculates the mask to be the most restrictive, "
            "otherwise it obeys a custom mask.")

This is now displayed as:

load_addr_mask
            default: 18446744073709551615
               desc: Address to mask loading binaries with, if 0,
                     system auto-calculates the mask to be the most
                     restrictive, otherwise it obeys a custom mask.

8b1ba9f99d python: Add a generalized mechanism to configure stats
Add a mechanism to configure the stat output format using a URL-like
syntax. This makes it possible to specify both an output format
(currently, only text is supported) and override default
parameters.

On the Python-side, this is implemented using a helper function
(m5.stats.addStatVisitor) that adds a visitor to the list of active
stat visitors. The helper function parses a URL-like stat
specification to determine the stat output type. Optional parameters
can be specified to change how stat visitors behave.

For example, to output stats in text format without stat descriptions:

    m5.stats.addStatVisitor("text://stats.txt?desc=False")

From the command line:

    gem5.opt --stats-file="text://stats.txt?desc=False"

Internally, the stat framework uses the _url_factory decorator
to wrap a Python function with the fn(path, **kwargs) signature in a
function that takes a parsed URL as its only argument. The path and
keyword arguments are automatically derived from the URL in the
wrapper function.

New output formats can be registered in the m5.stats.factories
dictionary. This dictionary contains a mapping between format names
(URL schemes) and factory methods.

To retain backwards compatibility, the code automatically assumes that
the user wants text output if no format has been specified (i.e., when
specifying a plain path).

774350b750 misc: Add secondary dot output for DVFS domains
This patch adds a secondary dot output file which shows the DVFS domains. This
has been done separately for now to avoid cluttering the already existing
diagram. Due to the way that the clock domains are assigned to components in
gem5, this output must be generated after the C++ objects have been
instantiated. This further motivates the need to generate this file separately
to the current dot output, and not to replace it entirely.

2ae4cce393 configs: add command-line option to stop debug output
This patch adds a --debug-end flag to main.py so that debug output can be
stoped at a specified tick, while allowing the simulation to continue. It is
useful in situations where you would like to produce a trace for a region of
interest while still collecting stats for the entire run. This is in contrast
to the currently existing --debug-break flag, which terminates the simulation
at the tick.

28a0e5a165 sim: don't ignore SIG_TRAP
By ignoring SIG_TRAP, using --debug-break <N> when not connected to
a debugger becomes a no-op.  Apparently this was intended to be a
feature, though the rationale is not clear.

If we don't ignore SIG_TRAP, then using --debug-break <N> when not
connected to a debugger causes the simulation process to terminate
at tick N.  This is occasionally useful, e.g., if you just want to
collect a trace for a specific window of execution then you can combine
this with --debug-start to do exactly that.

In addition to not ignoring the signal, this patch also updates
the --debug-break help message and deletes a handful of unprotected
calls to Debug::breakpoint() that relied on the prior behavior.

de366a16f1 sim: simulate with multiple threads and event queues
This patch adds support for simulating with multiple threads, each of
which operates on an event queue.  Each sim object specifies which eventq
is would like to be on.  A custom barrier implementation is being added
using which eventqs synchronize.

The patch was tested in two different configurations:
1. ruby_network_test.py: in this simulation L1 cache controllers receive
   requests from the cpu. The requests are replied to immediately without
   any communication taking place with any other level.
2. twosys-tsunami-simple-atomic: this configuration simulates a client-server
   system which are connected by an ethernet link.

We still lack the ability to communicate using message buffers or ports. But
other things like simulation start and end, synchronizing after every quantum
are working.

c9a8b7b147 sim: Clarify the difference between tracing and debugging
This patch changes the name the command-line options related to debug
output to all start with "debug" rather than being a mix of that and
"trace". It also makes it clear that the breakpoint time is specified
in ticks and not in cycles.

d4eca0591d base: Add support for newer versions of IPython
IPython is used for the interactive gem5 shell if it exists. IPython
made API changes in version 0.11. This patch adds support for IPython
version 0.11 and above.

10f1f8c6a4 base: Fix broken IPython argument handling
Prior to this changeset, we used to clear sys.argv before entering the
IPython shell. This caused some versions of IPython to crash because
they assume argv[0] to exist. The correct way of overriding the
arguments passed to IPython is to set the argv keyword argument when
initializing the shell.

of a benchmark, using work_begin and work_end pseudo instructions.It also enhances
the histogram stat to report geometric mean.

eddac53ff6 trace: reimplement the DTRACE function so it doesn't use a vector
At the same time, rename the trace flags to debug flags since they
have broader usage than simply tracing.  This means that
--trace-flags is now --debug-flags and --trace-help is now --debug-help

02f10fbdc8 SCons: Stop embedding the mercurial revision into the binary.
This causes a lot of rebuilds that could have otherwise possibly been
avoided, and, more annoyingly, a lot of unnecessary rerunning of the
regressions. The benefits of having the revision in the output haven't
materialized, so this change removes it.
