This commit adds the following functions to the `m5` python module:
- setMaxTick(tick) -> None
- getMaxTick() -> int
- getTicksUntilMax() -> int
- scheduleTickExitFromCurrent(tick, exit_string) -> None
- scheduleTickExitAbsolute(tick, exit_string) -> None
Until this patch the only way to set an exit at a particular tick was
via `simulate.run` which would reschedule the maximum tick. This
functionality has been explicity exposed via the new `setMaxTick`
function. However, as this is only rescheduling the maximum tick, it
stops scheduling exits at multiple different ticks.
To get around this problem the `scheduleTickExit` functions have been
added. These allow a user to schedule multiple exit events. The
functions contain a `exit_string` parameter that provides the string
the simulator is to return when the specified tick is met. By default
this string is "Tick exit reached" which is used by the stdlib
Simulator module to declare a new `SCHEDULED_TICK` exit event (Note:
this has been deliberatly kept seperate from the `MAX_TICK` exit event.
This commit serves as an attempt to decouple these are two concepts).
Tests are provided in this patch to ensure these new functions work as
intended.
Additional notes:
- The `simulate` function has been fixed to match the documentation. If
the `num_cycles` is -1 then the maximum ticks is set to MaxTicks.
Otherwise the max ticks is set to `curTicks() + num_cycles`. The
functionality of this function will remain unchanged to the end-user.
- Full integration into the Simulator module is not complete as of this
patch. Users must us the m5 python module to set these exit events.

The "test-gem5-library-example-riscvmatched-fs" test, which runs
"configs/example/gem5_library/riscvmatched-fs.py", was running the
script in full. This takes a very long time. Given we already have boot
tests for RISCV, it's better to just run this configuration to just the
end of the Linux boot (significantly faster than a full OS boot). This
patch adds this feature to the config script and modifies the test to
utilize it.

Hi, we are security researchers from the Advanced Research Center at Trellix.
We have began a campaign to patch a widespread bug named CVE-2007-4559.
CVE-2007-4559 is a 15 year old bug in the Python tarfile package. By using
extract() or extractall() on a tarfile object without sanitizing input,
a maliciously crafted .tar file could perform a directory path traversal
attack. We found at least one unsantized extractall() in your codebase
and are providing a patch for you via pull request. The patch essentially
checks to see if all tarfile members will be extracted safely and throws
an exception otherwise. We encourage you to use this patch or your own
solution to secure against CVE-2007-4559.
If you have further questions you may contact us through this
projects lead researcher Kasimir Schulz.

The ARM Boot Tests required the compilation of ARM/gem5.opt to run a
quick test that the CHI protocol was functioning correctly with ARM and
the ArmBoard. This test has been removed and the test refactored
slightly to use the ALL/gem5.opt.
The CHI protocol is already tested nightly.

The `main.py` script will build the ISAs required to run tests. Our
compiler tests (see "tests/compiler-tests.sh") are run nightly and
already test to ensure these ISAs are compiled correctly. Compiling
these ISAs as part of this script is therefore redundant. This patch
removes this step to save testing time.

The only tests requiring the the compilation of SPARC, MIPS, and POWER
for the long/nightly suite were
"tests/gem5/multi_isa/test_multi_isa.py" and
"gem5/stdlib/test_requires.py". As compilation of gem5 is quite costly,
it'd best we simply remove these tests. They are minor and not very
important.
Compilation of these ISAs will continue to be tested via the compilation
tests.

The long/nightly tests are failing due to timeout (e.g.,:

Through working with the gem5 stdlib there have been instances where
connecting the memory, processor, and cache hierarchy to the board (via
the AbstractBoard's `_connect_things` function) at the point of the
AbstractBoard's construction is problematic as the memory, processor,
and cache hierarchy may require information to connect correctly that is
only known to the AbstractBoard after construction. In particular this
can occur when a Workload contains information needed to configure
correctly.
To resolve this problem the `_connect_things` function has been moved to
run as a pre-initialization step. That is, run immediately before
`m5.instantiate`. This is done in the Simulator module.
This will break cases where a user utilizes the stdlib AbstractBoard but
does not use the stdlib Simulator module. As such, an Exception is
raised in these cases explaining the fix to the user. This is done via a
hack where the boards' `createCCObject` function (inheritted
from SimObject) is overriden with a check to ensure `_connect_things`
has been run. To fix the `_pre_instantiate` function must be executed
prior to `m5.instantiate` in the Python configuration script. Test and
config scripts in the gem5 repo have been updated accordingly.

utilized an older version of pip which did not have all the dependencies

If the pre-commit could not be installed the compilation would continue
as the exit code from running the pre-commit install script was not
read or processed. This commit adds a check. If the install is
unsuccessful the users is asked whether they want to continue the

This check can be ignored with the '--ignore-style'. The tests have been

tests remain automated and uninterrupted on Kokoro/Jenkins.
