Flitbuffers act as FIFOs for internal links and output queues
in routers. This change replaces the use of vectors with deque
for performance improvements. The older implementation of using
a vector combined with a heap sort was both incorrect and
inefficient.
Incorrect because flit buffers should act strictly
as FIFO, sorting them based on time changes the order which affects
functionality in the case of DVFS enabled NoCs.

The switch allocator implements a two step separable allocator and
utilizes port winner and vc winner data structures for functionality.
This improves the data structures used and their operations to improve
overall performance of the simulation. We start with an invalid output
port(-1) and an invalid vc(-1) and then allocate the outports
and vcs to inport.

Previously we only rely on timestamp to schedule all phase change events
of tlm transactions in Gem5ToTlmBridge. However, it is valid to have
END_REQ and BEGIN_RESP of a transaction to be scheduled at the same
timestamp and the gem5 scheduler will not necessary order them in a
correct way.
This unfortunately breaks the code as sending a response before
accepting a request doesn't make sense at all and will trigger an
assertion failure.
In this CL we slightly increase the priority of END_REQ event so we can
always process phase change events in a correct order.

While a TLB hit caused by a prefetching operation is visible in terms
of TLB stats update, this is not the case for a TLB miss, which is
invisible to the stats as it is now.
This patch is realigning the behaviour to be more consistent: we will
always update the stats regardless of whether the access caused a

In systemc, a module name is consist of hierarchy names with dot
separated. The basename is the last part of the module name. Because
lack of hierarchy information, it's a chance that the basename is
duplicated. Although, ClockTick is using sc_gen_unique_name to solve
this, the warning from sc_gen_unique_name is annoying. To solve this
completely, we should use the full module name to construct the name of
ClockTick.

This has two purposes. First, SCons assumes that once you call
Configure, you won't set up the environment the Configure is based on
until after you get the environment back from it again with
conf.Finish(). We get away with this when the cache mode for config
tests is not "force", since Configure just reuses the environment we
pass in, and any changes we make are immediately communicated between
the two.
If the cache mode *is* "force" though, SCons modifies the decider so
that everything the conf environment goes to build looks like it's out
of date. It does that by cloning the original environment, and then
using that clone to do its tests. That causes a problem because we have
a long lived "conf" object and make further changes to main, and since
the two environments are now separate the one in conf doesn't see those
updates.
Second, and more subtly, we export our "main" and "env" environments so
that other SConsopts and SConscript files can use them and define things
in them. The way Configure is designed, if the config caching mode is
"force", then it will create a new environment, and then that
environment will replace what the, for instance, "main" variable points
to when "main = conf.Finish()" is executed.
Unfortunately, if we've already Export()-ed main, we've exported what
the "main" variable pointed to at that time. Our view of "main" will
track with the value that conf.Finish() returned, but since that
construction environment is mearly derived from the main we Exported and
not actually the same thing, they have diverged at that point and will
behave independently.
To solve both of these problems, this change modifies the
gem5_scons.Configure() method so that it's a context manager instead of
a regular function. As before, it will call Configure for us and create
a configuration context, which it will yield as the "with" value. When
the context exits, all the variables in the context Finish() returns
will be shoved back into the original context with Replace(). This isn't
perfect since variables which were deleted in the environment (probably
very rare in practice) will not exist and so will not overwrite the
still existent variable in the original dict.
This has several advantages. The environment never splits into two
copies which continue on independently. It makes the lifetime of a
configuration context short, which is good because behavior during that
time is tricky and unintuitive. It also makes the scope of the context
very clear, so that you won't miss the fact that you're in a special
setting and need to pay attention to what environment you're modifying.
Also, this keeps the conceptual overhead of configuration localized to
where the configuration is happening. In parts of the SConscripts which
are not doing anything with conf, etc, they don't have to modify their
behavior since no configuration context is active.
This change is based on this change from Hanhwi Jang who identified this
problem and proposed an initial solution:

The SimObject will have already been added to the other object's list
of children, and if it's given a new parent, it will be added as a
child to the new parent as well. The object will then be the child of
two other SimObjects which will cause a delightful variety of hard to
debug problems.
Another slightly better way to handle this situation would be to both
move to the new parent and also remove the SimObject from the original
parent's list of children. Unfortunately there isn't a simple way to
figure out what the parent called the child, and so we would have to
look through its children one by one until we found the right one.

The VExpress_GEM5_Foundation platform was reserving
a region of the memory map (@ 0x4 0000 0000) for PCI.
The Armv8-A FVP Foundation platform is not PCI capable at
the moment, so any PCI logic is really gem5 specific.
With this patch we are aligning gem5 to the FVP Base Platform,
which supports PCI and it is reserving 256GiB of memory
starting at 0x40 0000 0000 (256GiB).
Fast Models - Reference Manual - Version 11.8
At the moment we are still supporting a single DRAM range,
starting at 2GiB. So DRAM could overlap with the PCI memory
region though it is unlikely to happen in near future as
it would require a DRAM size > 254 GiB.

1 - Rename the verifier from ClassBraces to
StructureBraces.
2 - Add support for anonymous structures. This
includes anonymous classes, anonymous structs,
anonymous enums and anonymous unions. e.g.:
struct {
3 - Make the verifier not trigger error for
structures that do not currently abide to gem5's
coding style and use non-uppercase characters as
their first character. e.g.:
struct test {
4 - Improve handling of nested structures. e.g.:
struct { enum { VAR, VAR2
becomes
struct
{
enum {
VAR, VAR2
But the verifier will fail for declarations like:
struct { int a; }; struct {
which becomes
struct
{
int a; struct {
However, this later issue is not a desired coding
style, so it should be handled by another kind of
verifier if desired.

These were not caught by the previous patches because
the grep used ignored:
- anonymous structures
(e.g., "struct {")
- opening braces without leading spaces
(e.g., "struct Name{"),
- weird chars in auto-generation files
(e.g., "struct $name {").
- extra characters after the opening brace.
(e.g., "struct Name { // Comment")
- typedefs (note that this is not caught by the verifier)
(e.g., "typedef struct Name {")
Most of this has been fixed be grepping structures
with the following regex:
grep -nrE --exclude-dir=systemc \
"^ *(typedef)* *(struct|class|enum|union) [^{]*{$" src/
The following makes sure that "struct{" is captured:
grep -nrE --exclude-dir=systemc \
"^ *(struct|class|enum|union){" src/
To find cases that contain a comment after the
opening brace:
grep -nrE --exclude-dir=systemc \
"^ *(struct|class|enum|union)[^{]*{\s*//" src/

where self assignments are often hints to the parser itself, and in one
case because a pybind-ism used to attach the -= operator looked like a

This change narrows the scope of the flag that disables this warning to
only files generated by the ISA parser, and the single file in the

This provides a layer of indirection where the rounding mode
setting/getting code will do nothing if fenv.h isn't available. At build
time, if fenv.h can't be found, a warning is printed.
Also, the include for fenv.h was guarded in the includes in the ISA
header, but the functions from it weren't guarded in the actual code.
Finally, the code was setting the rounding mode, but not setting it
back. That would mean running these instructions would set the rounding
mode in gem5 as a whole, affecting its other behaviors and any other
instructions that might expect the default rounding mode.
