Add an accuracy and coverage stat for the prefetchers.
Accuracy is defined as the ratio of the number of prefetch
request that have been counted as useful over the number
of prefetch request issued.
Accuracy tells whether the prefetcher is producing useful
requests or not.
Coverage is defined as the ratio of of the number of prefetch
request that have been counted as useful over the number of
demand misses if there was no prefetch, which is counted as
the number of useful prefetch request plus the remaining
demand misses. Due to the way stats are defined in the cache,
I have to add a stat to count the number of remaining demand
misses directly in the prefetcher stat. Demand is defined
as being one of this request type: ReadReq, WriteReq,
WriteLineReq, ReadExReq, ReadCleanReq, ReadSharedReq.
Coverage tells what part of misses are covered by the prefetcher.

Count how many time a prefetch is useful, meaning
a hit has happened on a prefetched cache block.
Another stat (pfUsefulButMiss) has been added to count
the special case where there is a hit on prefetched block
but it is counted as a miss because the block is not in
the requested coherency state.

The apertures for non-gfx801 GPUs are set differently.
If the apertures aren't set properly, ROCm will error out.
This change sets the apertures appropriately based on the
gfx version of the simulated GPU. It also adds in new
functions to set the scratch and lds apertures in GFX9 to mimic
the linux kernel.

ROCm determines if a device is a dGPU in two ways. The first
is by looking at the device ID. The second is through a flag that
gets set only if the reported cpu_cores_count is 0.
If these don't agree, ROCm breaks when doing memory operations.
Previously, cpu_cores_count was non-zero on the Fiji config.
This patch sets it to 0 to appease ROCm

Often, a gem5 experiment will fail for some reason. This happens
non-deterministically when fastforwarding with KVM making it more
difficult to handle.
This change allows the user to specify a function `check_failure` to
check to see if the test has failed. An example would be to open the
terminal and check to see if the kernel has panicked.
Additionally, this change adds a rerun function to rerun a particular
run that has failed.

This commit does a few things to decouple the artifacts from mongodb.
- Creates an ArtifactFileDB which stores artifacts in a json file on the
local machine
- Adds tests fro the artifact file DB
- Sets the file database to be default if pymongo isn't installed
- Extends the Artifact class to prepare for downloading artifacts from

Add a unit test for stats/info.
One test has been disabled due to not knowing the
expected behavior.
It is important to notice that Stats::Info can have
duplicate names using the new style. Stats::Group is
responsible for not allowing duplicate names in this
case.

When the Vega ISA got committed, it lacked the request counter
tracking for memory requests that existed in the GCN3 code.
Instead of copying over the same lines from the GCN3 code to the Vega
code, this commit makes the various memory pipelines handle updating the
request counter information instead, as every memory instruction calls a
memory pipeline.
This commit also adds an issueRequest in scalar_memory_pipeline, as
previously, the gpuDynInsts were explicitly placed in the queue of
issuedRequests.

vector_register_file uses the exec_mask of a memory instruction in
order to determine if it should mark a register as in-use or not.
Previously, the exec_mask of memory instructions was only set on
execution of that instruction, which occurs after the code in
vector_register_file. This led to the code reading potentially garbage
data, leading to a scenario where a register would be marked used when
it shouldn't be.
This fix sets the exec_mask of memory instructions in schedule_stage,
which works because the only time the wavefront execMask() is updated is
on a instruction executing, and we know the previous instruction will
have executed by the time schedule_stage executes, due to the order the
pipeline is executed in.
This also undoes part of a patch from last year (62ec973) which treated
the symptom of accidental register allocation, without preventing the
registers from being allocated in the first place.
This patch also removes now redundant code that sets the exec_mask in
instructions.cc for memory instructions

Certain memory writes were reading their registers in
initiateAcc, which lead to scenarios where a subsequent instruction
would execute, clobbering the value in that register before the memory
writes' initiateAcc method was called, causing the memory write to read
wrong data.
This patch moves all register reads to execute, preventing the above
scenario from happening.

Instruction fetch should not commence if there already is an
instruction-count event in the queue.
The most conspicuous scenario where this leads to obvious breakage,
is guest debugging. Imagine the first bytes in the program pointed to
by _start are invalid instruction encoding, and we pass the --wait-gdb
flag. Then in GDB we set $pc to point to valid instructions, and we
"continue". gem5 will abort with "invalid instruction".
This is not how real targets behave: neither software- (e.g. ptrace)
based debuggers, nor low-level (e.g. OpenOCD or XMD connected over
JTAG to debug early initialization code eg when the MMU has not been
switched on yet, etc.) Fetching should start from where $pc was set
to. This patch tries to model this behavior.

Add a non-standard extension to the RSP protocol: the "." command
requests a dump of the simulated page table.
The dump consists of concatenated records, one record per page table
entry. Each record contains the entry's "virtual" value written as
hex, followed by a colon (:), followed by the entry's "physical" value
written as hex, followed by a semicolon (;).
At the time of writing, one practical use of this feature (in
combination with the "shared_backstore" parameter) is extremely fast
Miranda-Ingalls simulation of JIT compilers.
