When the clone syscall is called, a new process is created which
allocates a new page table. If clone was called with CLONE_THREAD, the
page table of that new process is then marked as shared. Next, initState
is called on the process which calls the page table's initState. For the
multi level page table, initState only sets the base pointer if shared
is false. This means that in this order the base pointer of the new page
table is not currently initialized causing spurious errors.
To fix this, the page table is explicitly initialized after the new
process and new page table are created but before the page table is
marked as shared. The process initState continues as normal and the new
page table's base pointer is not modified by further calls to initState
as it is already marked shared.

For most system calls, it doesn't matter if the PC is advanced to the
instruction after the system call instruction before or after the system
call itself is invoked, because the system call itself doesn't interact
with it.
For some system calls however, specifically "clone" and "execve",
advancing the PC *after* the system call complicates things, because it
means the system call needs to set the PC to something that will equal
the desired value only *after* it's advanced.
By setting the PC *before* the system call, the system call can set the
PC to whatever it needs to. This means the new cloned context doesn't
need to advance the PC because it's already advanced, and execve doesn't
need to set NPC, it can leave the PC set to the correct value from the
entry point set during Process initialization.

When the "path" argument is empty, use the file name of the node
referred to by the fd file descriptor. This matches the behavior of
"at" system calls when the TGT_AT_EMPTY_PATH flag is set. The system

All syscalls with the "at" suffix rely on a directory file descriptor
(dirfd) and a pathname, provided as arguments to the syscall
If the pathname is relative, then it is interpreted relative to the
directory referred to by the file descriptor dirfd (rather than relative
to the current working directory of the calling process)
Prior to this patch, only the openat syscall was properly implemented.
Other syscalls were discarding the dirfd argument and producing
a warning instead

When clone is called with the VFORK flag, the calling process is
suspended until the child process either exits, or calls execve.
This patch adds in a new variable to Process, which is used to store the
context of the calling process if this process is created through a
clone with VFORK set.
This patch also adds the required support in clone to suspend the
calling thread, and in exitImpl and execveFunc to wake up the calling
thread when the child thread calls either of those functions

There were three things preventing execve from working
Firstly, the entrypoint for the new program wasn't correct. This was
fixed by calling Process::init, which adds a bias to the entrypoint.
Secondly, the uname string wasn't being copied over. This meant when the
new executable tried to run, it would think the kernel was too old to
run on, and would error out. This was fixed by copying over the uname
string (the `release` string in Process) when creating the new process.
Additionally, this patch also ensures we copy over the uname string in
the clone implementation, as otherwise a cloned thread that called
execve would crash.
Finally, we choose to not delete the new ProcessParams or the old
Process. This is done both because it matches what is done in cloneFunc,
but also because deleting the old process results in a segfault later
on.

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.

Because of this, when a library (libnuma in this case) directly called
sched_getaffinity and got a return value of 0, it errored out, thinking
that there were no CPUs available.
This implementation assumes that all CPUs are available, so it sets
all simulated CPUs in the bitmask

As part of recent decisions regarding namespace
naming conventions, all namespaces will be changed
to snake case.
sim_clock::Int became sim_clock::as_int.
"as_int" was chosen because "int" is a reserved
keyword, and this namespace acts as a selector of
how to read the internal variables.
Another possibility to resolve this would be to
remove the namespaces "Float" and "Int" and use
unions instead.

We currently use the traditional SI-like prefixes to represent
binary multipliers in some contexts. This is ambiguous in many cases
since they overload the meaning of the SI prefix.
Here are some examples of commonly used in the industry:
* Storage vendors define 1 MB as 10**6 bytes
* Memory vendors define 1 MB as 2**20 bytes
* Network equipment treats 1Mbit/s as 10**6 bits/s
* Memory vendors define 1Mbit as 2**20 bits
In practice, this means that a FLASH chip on a storage bus uses
decimal prefixes, but that same flash chip on a memory bus uses binary
prefixes. It would also be reasonable to assume that the contents of a
1Mbit FLASH chip would take 0.1s to transfer over a 10Mbit Ethernet
link. That's however not the case due to different meanings of the
prefix.
The quantity 2MX is treated differently by gem5 depending on the unit
X:
* Physical quantities (s, Hz, V, A, J, K, C, F) use decimal prefixes.
* Interconnect and NoC bandwidths (B/s) use binary prefixes.
* Network bandwidths (bps) use decimal prefixes.
* Memory sizes and storage sizes (B) use binary prefixes.
Mitigate this ambiguity by consistently using the ISO/IEC/SI prefixes
for binary multipliers for parameters and comments where appropriate.

When a gem5 op is triggered using a KVM MMIO exit event, the PC has
already been advanced beyond the offending instruction. Normally when
a system call or gem5 op is triggered, the PC has not advanced because
the instruction hasn't actually finished executing. This means that if
a gem5 op, and by extension a system call in SE mode, want to advance
the PC to the instruction after the gem5 op, they have to check whether
they were triggered from KVM.
To avoid having to special case these sorts of situations (currently
only in the clone system call), we can have the code which dispatches to
gem5 ops from KVM adjust the next PC so that it points to what the
current PC is. That way the PC can be advanced unconditionally, and will
point to the instruction after the one that triggered the call.
To be fully consistent, we would also need to adjust the current PC.
That would be non-trivial since we'd have to figure out where the
current instruction started, and that may not even be possible to
unambiguously determine given x86's instruction structure. Then we would
also need to restore the original PC to avoid confusing KVM.

Inside the code of cloneFunc(…) //syscall_emul.hh
cp->initState(); //line 1483
p->clone(tc, ctc, cp, flags); //line 1484
…
ctc->clearArchRegs(); //line 1503
OS::archClone(flags, p, cp, tc, ctc, newStack, tlsPtr); //line 1505
…
At line 1483, initState() is called and the activateContext() of the
corresponding MinorCPU is eventually called. The actual architecture
clone happens at line 1505 where PC of the new thread could have a
correct value.
In the existing implementation of MinorCPU::activateContext(ThreadID
thread_id), the below line 275 is called
pipeline->wakeupFetch(thread_id);
to start fetching instruction with current value of PC, which is 0x0,
leading to panic “Page table fault when accessing virtual address 0”.
This is because the OS::archClone() is not yet called. So, the below bug
fix handles the wakeup fetch for a thread for two scenarios:
...
if (!threads[thread_id]->getUseForClone())
{ //the thread is not cloned
pipeline->wakeupFetch(thread_id);
} else {//the thread from clone
if (fetchEventWrapper != NULL)
delete fetchEventWrapper;
fetchEventWrapper = new EventFunctionWrapper([this, thread_id]
{pipeline->wakeupFetch(thread_id);}, "wakeupFetch");
schedule(*fetchEventWrapper, clockEdge(Cycles(0)));
}
...
If a thread is not cloned, pipeline->wakeupFetch() is called
immediately.
For the cloned thread, the above bug fix delays the execution of
pipeline->wakeupFetch()
after the OS::archClone is done. ThreadContext::getUseForClone() return
true if a thread is cloned.
A member variable fetchEventWrapper is added to MinorCPU class for
delayed fetch event.
A member variable useForClone and its corresponding get/set methods are
added to ThreadContext class. This approach allows future reuse of this
useForClone variable by other CPU models if needed and also avoid lots
of changes resulted by modifying parameters of activateContext () and
activate() which are defined as override.
Inside the syscall cloneFunc, the useForClone member of a ThreadContext
object is set via its set method right before Process's initState() is
called, shown as below.
ctc->setUseForClone(true);
cp->initState();
p->clone(tc, ctc, cp, flags);
A few previously failed RISC-V ASM tests have been open in tests.py file
after the bug fix works.

The System class has a few different arrays of values which each
correspond to a thread of execution based on their position. This
change collects them together into a single class to make managing them
easier and less error prone. It also collects methods for manipulating
those threads as an API for that class.
This class acts as a collection point for thread based state which the
System class can look into to get at all its state. It also acts as an
interface for interacting with threads for other classes. This forces
external consumers to use the API instead of accessing the individual
arrays which improves consistency.

Instead of calling into object files after the fact and asking them to
put symbols into a target symbol table, this change makes object files
fill in a symbol table themselves at construction. Then, that table can
be retrieved and used to fill in aggregate tables, masked, moved,
and/or filtered to have only one type of symbol binding.
This simplifies the symbol management API of the object file types
significantly, and makes it easier to deal with symbol tables alongside
binaries in the FS workload classes.
