Some parts of clone are architecture dependent. In some cases, we are
able to use architecture-specific helper functions or register
aliases. However, there is still some architecture-specific that is
protected by ifdefs in the common clone implementation.
Move these architecture-specific bits to the architecture-specific OS
class instead to avoid these ifdefs and make the code a bit more
readable.

This is especially important because the Ubuntu 18.04 packaged
arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc uses the system call on the program initialization,
which leads all programs to fail with:
fatal: syscall openat (#322) unimplemented.

Trying to compile an ARM C hello world with arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc from
Ubuntu 16.04 leads to a runtime failure with se.py:
FATAL: kernel too old
because the glibc tests if the kernel is at least 3.2.0, and gem5 was
reporting 3.0.0.
Furthermore, it is hard to obtain such toolchain at all: for example
crosstool-NG currently only allows for minimum kernels above 3.2.0.
3.7.0+ was chosen to match the aarch64 value, as it is likely that the
level of support will be very similar.
This commit does not guarantee that full 3.7.0 is supported, but it is
not likely that we had full 3.0.0 support previously either.
However, it is more likely that such support will be eventually achieved
if users can at least try out their programs and implement the missing
system calls as they are found.

A System object has a _numContexts member variable which represent the
number of ThreadContext registered in the System. Since this has to
match the size of the ThreadContext vector, this patch removes the
manually cached size. This was usually used as a for-loop index, whereas
we want to enforce the use of range-based loops whenever possible.

32bit and 64bit Linux have different arguments passed to the
__switch_to() function that gem5 hooks into in order to collect context
switch statistics. 64bit Linux provides the task_struct pointer to the
next task that will be switched to, which means we don't have to look
up the task_struct from thread_info as we do in 32bit ARM Linux.
This patch adds a second set of accessors to ThreadInfo to extract
details such as the pid, tgid, task name, etc., directly from a
task_struct. The existing accessors maintain their existing behavior by
first looking up the task_struct and then calling these new accessors.
A 64-bit variant of the DumpStatsPCEvent class is added that uses these
new accessors to get the task details for the context switch dumps
directly from the task_struct passed to __switch_to().

Modifies the clone system call and adds execve system call. Requires allowing
processes to steal thread contexts from other processes in the same system
object and the ability to detach pieces of process state (such as MemState)
to allow dynamic sharing.
The EIOProcess class was removed recently and it was the only other class
which derived from Process. Since every Process invocation is also a
LiveProcess invocation, it makes sense to simplify the organization by
combining the fields from LiveProcess into Process.
The class was crammed into syscall_emul.hh which has tons of forward
declarations and template definitions. To clean it up a bit, moved the
class into separate files and commented the class with doxygen style
comments. Also, provided some encapsulation by adding some accessors and
a mutator.
The syscallreturn.hh file was renamed syscall_return.hh to make it consistent
with other similarly named files in the src/sim directory.
The DPRINTF_SYSCALL macro was moved into its own header file with the
include the Base and Verbose flags as well.

Add helper functions to dump the guest kernel's dmesg buffer to a text
file in m5out. This functionality is split into two parts. First, a
dmesg dump function that can be used in other places:
void Linux::dumpDmesg(ThreadContext *, std::ostream &)
This function is used to implement two PCEvents: DmesgDumpEvent and
KernelPanic event. The only difference between the two is that the
latter produces a gem5 panic instead of a warning in addition to
dumping the kernel log.

The LinuxArmSystem class normally provides support for panicing gem5
if the simulated kernel panics. When this is turned off (default),
gem5 uses a BreakPCEvent to provide a debugger hook into the simulator
when the kernel crashes. This hook unconditionally kills gem5 with a
SIGTRAP unless gem5 is compiled in fast mode. This is undesirable
since the panic_on_panic param already provides similar functionality.

The openFlagTable and mmapFlagTables for emulated Linux
platforms are basically identical, but are specified
repetitively for every platform. Use a common file
that gets included for each platform so that we only
have one copy, making them more consistent and simplifying
changes (like adding #ifdefs).
In the process, made some minor fixes that slipped through
due to previous inconsistencies, and added more #ifdefs
to try to fix building on alternative hosts.
Libraries are loaded into the process address space using the
mmap system call. Conveniently, this happens to be a good
time to update the process symbol table with the library's
incoming symbols so we handle the table update from within the
system call.
This works just like an application's normal symbols. The only
difference between a dynamic library and a main executable is
when the symbol table update occurs. The symbol table update for
an executable happens at program load time and is finished before
the process ever begins executing. Since dynamic linking happens
at runtime, the symbol loading happens after the library is
first loaded into the process address space. The library binary
is examined at this time for a symbol section and that section
is parsed for symbol types with specific bindings (global,
local, weak). Subsequently, these symbols are added to the table
and are available for use by gem5 for things like trace
generation.
Checkpointing should work just as it did previously. The address
space (and therefore the library) will be recorded and the symbol
table will be entirely recorded. (It's not possible to do anything
clever like checkpoint a program and then load the program back
with different libraries with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, because the
library becomes part of the address space after being loaded.)
For O3, which has a stat that counts reg reads, there is an additional
reg read per mmap() call since there's an arg we no longer ignore.
Otherwise, stats should not be affected.
The structure definition only had the open system call flag set in mind when
it was named, so we rename it here with the intention of using it to define
additional tables to translate flags for other system calls in the future.
This changeset adds support for changing the simulator output
directory. This can be useful when the simulation goes through several
stages (e.g., a warming phase, a simulation phase, and a verification
phase) since it allows the output from each stage to be located in a
different directory. Relocation is done by calling core.setOutputDir()
from Python or simout.setOutputDirectory() from C++.
This change affects several parts of the design of the gem5's output
subsystem. First, files returned by an OutputDirectory instance (e.g.,
simout) are of the type OutputStream instead of a std::ostream. This
allows us to do some more book keeping and control re-opening of files
when the output directory is changed. Second, new subdirectories are
OutputDirectory instances, which should be used to create files in
that sub-directory.

The current ignoreWarnOnceFunc doesn't really work as expected,
since it will only generate one warning total, for whichever
"warn-once" syscall is invoked first. This patch fixes that
behavior by keeping a "warned" flag in the SyscallDesc object,
allowing suitably flagged syscalls to warn exactly once per
syscall.
With the recent patches addressing how we deal with uncacheable
accesses there is no longer need for the work arounds put in place to
enforce certain sections of memory to be uncacheable during boot.

Another churn to clean up undefined behaviour, mostly ARM, but some
parts also touching the generic part of the code base.
Most of the fixes are simply ensuring that proper intialisation. One
of the more subtle changes is the return type of the sign-extension,
which is changed to uint64_t. This is to avoid shifting negative
values (undefined behaviour) in the ISA code.
The identifier SYS_getdents is not available on Mac OS X. Therefore, its use
results in compilation failure. It seems there is no straight forward way to
implement the system call getdents using readdir() or similar C functions.
Hence the commit 6709bbcf564d is being rolled back.
Note: AArch64 and AArch32 interworking is not supported. If you use an AArch64
kernel you are restricted to AArch64 user-mode binaries. This will be addressed
in a later patch.
Note: Virtualization is only supported in AArch32 mode. This will also be fixed
in a later patch.

Add the options 'panic_on_panic' and 'panic_on_oops' to the
LinuxArmSystem SimObject. When these option are enabled, the simulator
panics when the guest kernel panics or oopses. Enable panic on panic
and panic on oops in ARM-based test cases.
This changeset adds support for forwarding arguments to the PC
event constructors to following methods:
addKernelFuncEvent
addFuncEvent
Additionally, this changeset adds the following helper method to the
System base class:
addFuncEventOrPanic - Hook a PCEvent to a symbol, panic on failure.
addKernelFuncEventOrPanic - Hook a PCEvent to a kernel symbol, panic
on failure.
System implementations have been updated to use the new functionality
where appropriate.
A derived function with a different signature than a base class
function will result in the base class function of the same name being
hidden. The parameter list and return type for the member function in
the derived class must match those of the member function in the base
class, otherwise the function in the derived class will hide the
function in the base class and no polymorphic behaviour will occur.
This patch addresses these warnings by ensuring a unique function name
to avoid (unintentionally) hiding any functions.
This patch makes the start and end address private in a move to
prevent direct manipulation and matching of ranges based on these
fields. This is done so that a transition to ranges with interleaving
support is possible.
As a result of hiding the start and end, a number of member functions
are needed to perform the comparisons and manipulations that
previously took place directly on the members. An accessor function is
provided for the start address, and a function is added to test if an
address is within a range. As a result of the latter the != and ==
operator is also removed in favour of the member function. A member
function that returns a string representation is also created to allow
debug printing.
In general, this patch does not add any functionality, but it does
take us closer to a situation where interleaving (and more cleverness)
can be added under the bonnet without exposing it to the user. More on
that in a later patch.
This patch enables dumping statistics and Linux process information on
context switch boundaries (__switch_to() calls) that are used for
Streamline integration (a graphical statistics viewer from ARM).
This patch addresses a number of smaller issues identified by the code
inspection utility cppcheck. There are a number of identified leaks in
the arm/linux/system.cc (although the function only get's called once
so it is not a major problem), a few deletes in dev/x86/i8042.cc that
were not array deletes, and sprintfs where the character array had one
element less than needed. In the IIC tags there was a function
allocating an array of longs which is in fact never used.
Newer Linux kernels require DTB (device tree blobs) to specify platform
configurations. The input DTB filename can be specified through gem5 parameters
in LinuxArmSystem.
