This patch addresses multiple cases:
- When a controller has read/write permissions while others have read
only permissions, the one with r/w permissions performs the read as
the others may have stale data
- When controllers only have lines with stale or busy access permissions,
a valid copy of the line may be in a message in transit in the network
or in a message buffer (not seen by the controller yet). In this case,
we forward the functional request accordingly.
- Sequencer messages should not accept functional reads
- Functional writes also update the packet data on the sequencer
outstanding request lists and the cpu-side response queue.

The components in base/loader were moved into a namespace called
Loader. This will make it easier to add loader components with fairly
short natural names which don't invite name collisions.
gem5 should use namespaces more in general for that reason and to make
it easier to write independent components without having to worry about
name collisions being added in the future.
Unfortunately this namespace has the same name as a class used to load
an object file into a process object. These names can be disambiguated
because the Process loader is inside the Process scope and the Loader
namespace is at global scope, but it's still confusing to read.
Fortunately, this shouldn't last for very long since the responsibility
for loading Processes is going to move to a fake OS object which will
expect to load a particular type of Process, for instance, fake 64 bit
x86 linux will load either 32 or 64 bit x86 processes.
That means that the capability to feed any binary that matches the
current build into gem5 and have gem5 figure out what to do with it
will likely be going away in the future. That's likely for the best,
since it will force users to be more explicit about what they're trying
to do, ie what OS they want to try to load a given binary, and also
will prevent loading two or more Processes which are for different OSes
to the same system, something that's possible today as far as I know
since there are no consistency checks.

This is specialized per arch, and the Workload class is the only thing
actually using it. It doesn't make any sense to dispatch those calls
over to the System object, especially since that was, in most cases,
the only reason an ISA specific system class even still existed.
After this change, only ARM still has an architecture specific System

This generalized Workload SimObject is not geared towards FS or SE
simulations, although currently it's only used in FS. This gets rid
of the ARM specific highestELIs64 property (from the workload, not the
system) and replaces it with a generic getArch.
The old globally accessible kernel symtab has been replaced with a
symtab accessor which takes a ThreadContext *. The parameter isn't used
for anything for now, but in cases where there might be multiple
symbol tables to choose from (kernel vs. current user space?) the
method will now be able to distinguish which to use. This also makes
it possible for the workload to manage its symbol table with whatever
policy makes sense for it.
That method returns a const SymbolTable * since most of the time the
symbol table doesn't need to be modified. In the one case where an
external entity needs to modify the table, two pseudo instructions,
the table to modify isn't necessarily the one that's currently active.
For instance, the pseudo instruction will likely execute in user space,
but might be intended to add a symbol to the kernel in case something
like a module was loaded.
To support that usage, the workload has a generic "insertSymbol" method
which will insert the symbol in the table that "makes sense". There is
a lot of ambiguity what that means, but it's no less ambiguous than
today where we're only saved by the fact that there is generally only
one active symbol table to worry about.
This change also introduces a KernelWorkload SimObject class which
inherits from Workload and adds in kernel related members for cases
where the kernel is specified in the config and loaded by gem5 itself.
That's the common case, but the base Workload class would be used
directly when, for instance, doing a baremetal simulation or if the
kernel is loaded by software within the simulation as is the case for
SPARC FS.
Because a given architecture specific workload class needs to inherit
from either Workload or KernelWorkload, this change removes the
ability to boot ARM without a kernel. This ability should be restored
in the future.
To make having or not having a kernel more flexible, the kernel
specific members of the KernelWorkload should be factored out into
their own object which can then be attached to a workload through a
(potentially unused) property rather than inheritance.

Two python Enum parameter types had some very generic elements which
both include one named "none". When headers for both are included that
creates a conflict which breaks the build. Enums which such extremely

of collisions.
This change converts them from Enum to ScopedEnum in python, and also
makes a few small changes to where they're used in c++ to match.

This change tries to resolve the conflict with as little disruption as

This simplifies the SPARC FS workload significantly, and removes
assumptions about what ROMs exist, where they go, etc. It removes
other components from the loop which don't have anything to contribute
as far as setting up the ROMs.
One side effect of this is that there isn't specialized support for
adding PC based events which would fire in the ROMs, but that was never
done and the files that were being used were flat binary blobs with no
symbols in the first place.
This also necessitates building a unified image which goes into the single
8MB ROM that is located at address 0xfff0000000. That is simply done
with the following commands:
dd if=/dev/zero of=t1000_rom.bin bs=1024 count=8192
dd if=reset_new.bin of=t1000_rom.bin
dd if=q_new.bin of=t1000_rom.bin bs=1024 seek=64
dd if=openboot_new.bin of=t1000_rom.bin bs=1024 seek=512
This results in an 8MB blob which can be loaded verbatim into the ROM.
Alternatively, and with some extra effort, an ELF file could be
constructed which had each of these components as segments, offset to the
right location in the ELF header. That would be slightly more work to set up,
but wouldn't waste space on regions of the image that are all zeroes.

These are currently specific to aarch64, but will be expanded to cover
all other versions of the utility as well.
The intention of these new files is to centralize the build mechanism
for the different versions of the utility so that they have consistent
features, mechanisms, and targets, and so that new features will
automatically be shared by all versions without having to be implemented
in each.
This also sets up a separate build directory which will keep the source
tree clean, and will (with some more development) make it possible to
build multiple versions of the m5 utility at the same time without them
running into each other.

This change includes:
1) Verify available command bandwidth
2) Add support for multi-cycle commands
3) Add new timing parameters
4) Add ability to interleave bursts
5) Add LPDDR5 configurations
The DRAM controller historically does not verify contention on the
command bus and if there is adaquate command bandwidth to issue a
new command. As memory technologies evolve, multiple cycles are becoming
a requirement for some commands. Depending on the burst length, this
can stress the command bandwidth. A check was added to verify command
issue does not exceed a maximum value within a defined window. The
default window is a burst, with the maximum value defined based on the
burst length and media clocking characteristics. When the command bandwidth
is exceeded, commands will be shifted to subsequent burst windows.
Added support for multi-cycle commands, specifically Activate, which
requires a larger address width as capacities grow. Additionally,
added support for multi-cycle Read / Write bursts for low power
DRAM cases in which additional CLK synchronization may be required
to run at higher speeds.
To support emerging memories, added the following new timing parameters.
1) tPPD -- Precharge-to-Precharge delay
2) tAAD -- Max delay between Activate-1 and Activate-2 commands
I/O data rates are continuing to increase for DRAM but the core frequency
is still fairly stagnant for many technologies. As we increase the burst
length, either the core prefetch needs to increase (for a seamless burst)
or the burst will be transferred with gaps on the data bus. To support
the latter case, added the ability to interleave 2 bursts across bank
groups.
Using the changes above, added an initial set of LPDDR5 configurations.

The DictImporter's __del__ method calls unload, and that imports
sys.modules so that it can remove the modules that the DictImporter had
set up as the importer goes away.
Unfortunately, the importer only goes away when python is shutting down,
and at that time some aspects of the system, namely sys.meta_path, have
been cleaned up. When unload tries to import sys, that causes an
exception which scons/python reports but which doesn't do anything bad
otherwise.
In all of the examples of this older style of import object online, none
had a __del__ method, and none worried about cleaning up sys.modules
when they went away. In light of that, I've removed the __del__ method
entirely.
Another reason I think it's safe to remove __del__ is that the importer
was not actually being deleted even when it was removed from
sys.meta_path, and all the modules it had loaded where removed from
sys.modules. I think that was because the SimObject classes that it had
set up still had references (they are used later in the SConscript), and
those would, either directly or indirectly, refer back to the modules
and the importer. Those remaining references kept the importer alive,
preventing __del__ from being called before all those other objects were
cleaned up.
I think in python 2, the order things were cleaned up just so happened
to avoid trying to import sys when it was no longer possible, but in
python 3 that changed and resulted in this exception being thrown.
I've tried building gem5 with scons running under python 2 and python 3,
and with this change there is no error at shutdown. Both also produce a
gem5 binary which can run hello world without problems.
