The network tester terminates after injecting for sim_cycles
(default=1000), instead of having to explicitly pass --maxticks from the
command line as before. If fixed_pkts is enabled, the tester only
injects maxpackets number of packets, else it keeps injecting till sim_cycles.
The tester also works with zero command line arguments now.
The RubyMemory flag wasnt used in the code, creating large gaps in trace output. Replace cprintfs w/dprintfs
using RubyMemory in memory controller. DPRINTF also deprecate the usage of the setDebug() pure virtual
function in the AbstractMemoryOrCache Class as well the m_debug/cprintf functions in MemoryControl.hh/cc
The simple network's endpoint bandwidth value is used to adjust the overall
bandwidth of the network. Specifically, the ration between endpoint bandwidth
and the MESSAGE_SIZE_MULTIPLIER determines the increase. By setting the value
to 1000, that means the bandwdith factor specified in the links translates to
the link bandwidth in bytes. Previously, it was increasing that value by 10.
This patch will likely require a reset of the ruby regression tester stats.
Moved the buffer_size, endpoint_bandwidth, and adaptive_routing params out of
the top-level parent network object and to only those networks that actually
use those parameters.
This patch ensures that both Garnet and the simple networks use the bw value
specified in the topology. To do so, the patch generalizes the specification
of bw for basic links. This value is then translated to the specific value
used by the simple and Garnet networks. Since Garent does not support
non-uniformed link bandwidth, the patch also adds a check to ensure all bws are
equal.

This patch converts links and switches from second class simobjects that were
virtually ignored by the networks (both simple and Garnet) to first class
simobjects that directly correspond to c++ ojbects manipulated by the
topology and network classes. This is especially true for Garnet, where the
links and switches directly correspond to specific C++ objects.
By making this change, many aspects of the Topology class were simplified.

Due to certain changes made via changeset 8229, the compilation was failing
in certain cases. The compiler pointed to base/stats/mysql.hh for not naming
a certain types like uint64_t. To rectify this, base/types.hh is being
included in base/stats/mysql.hh.
This change makes the decoder figure out if an instruction that only supports
memory is using a register encoding and decodes directly to "Unknown" which will
behave appropriately. This prevents other parts of the instruction creation
process from seeing the mismatch and asserting.
This is similar to guards on mercurial queues and they're used for selecting
which files are compiled into some given object. We already do something
similar, but it's mostly hard coded for the m5 binary and the m5 library
and I'd like to make it more flexible to better support the unittests
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
This is basically like the range_map stuff in src/base (range already
exists in Python). This code is like a set of ranges. I'm using it
to keep track of changed lines in source code, but it could be use to
keep track of memory ranges and holes in memory regions. It could
also be used in memory allocation type stuff. (Though it's not at all
optimized.)
