There is a design which has been put forward which eliminates the idea
of a zero register entirely, but in the mean time, to get rid of one
more ISA specific constant, this change moves the ZeroReg constant into
the RegClassInfo class, specifically the IntRegClass instance which is
published by each ISA.
When the idea of zero registers has been eliminated entirely from
non ISA specific code, this and the existing machinery can be
eliminated.

Having const and non const reference accessors for the RegId index are
basically the same thing as just making the index value public but with
more complexity. Stop allowing updates through the accessor, and
simplify/fix the one location that was using that.
Also, there is no good reason to return an integer value by const
reference instead of returning it by value, since the value being passed
around (a pointer) is the same size, and just makes the value harder to
access.

The isZeroReg() helper checked if the register was both an integer
register, and if it equaled TheISA::ZeroReg. This bakes in both the
assumption that any zero registers are integer (and that integer
registers are a thing), and also internalizes the plumbing which selects
what index is the zero register.
This change eliminates the isZeroReg helper and moves the logic inside
it into where it was called. In most cases, it was actually not
necessary to check if the register was integer since that was already
implied by context. This also brings the TheISA::ZeroReg constant out,
where it can be replaced by values plumbed in more generally than a
fixed, ISA specific constant.

The nullStaticInstPtr was low overhead, but the nopStaticInstPtr needed
an actual StaticInst implementation it could point to, and that brought
with it some (minor) additional dependencies. Specifically, the
implementation of advancePC needs the definition of TheISA::PCState,
while all other signatures/impementations in StaticInst are already
passing around that type by reference or could be made to, reducing
dependencies further.

Despite the generic sounding name and sort of generic contents, the
BaseDynInst was actually tied to the O3 CPU. Having the two independent
moving pieces created complexity but provided no real benefit. This was
evidenced by the fact that no CPU other than O3 actually used that

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/

In most ISAs except MIPS and Power, this was implemented as
inst->advancePC(). It works just fine to call this function all the
time, but the idea had originally been that for ISAs which could simply
advance the PC using the PC itself, they could save the virtual function
call. Since the only ISAs which could skip the call were MIPS and Power,
and neither is at the point where that level of performance tuning
matters, this function can be collapsed with little downside.
If this turns out to be a performance bottleneck in the future, the way
the PC is managed could be revisited to see if we can factor out this
trip to the instruction object in the first place.

There is no way to make this sort of template work with more than one
ISA at a time, and it's also more complex than it needs to be,
particularly since the methods within it are never used in performance
critical code. Using virtual functions is also simpler and uses less
code.

These currently only hold the number of registers in a particular class,
but can be extended in the future to hold other information about each
class. The ISA class holds a vector of descriptors which other parts of
gem5 can retrieve to set up storage for each class, etc.
Currently, the RegClass enum is used to explicitly index into the vector
of descriptors to get information about a particular class. Once enough
information is stored in the descriptors, the other parts of gem5 should
be able to set up for each register class generically, and the ISAs will
be able to leave out or create new register classes without having to
set up global plumbing for it.
The more immediate benefit is that this should (mostly) parameterize
away the ISA register constants to break another TheISA style
dependency. Currently a global set of descriptors are set up in the
BaseISA class using the old TheISA constants, but it should be easy to
break those out and make the ISAs set up their own descriptors. That
will bring arch/registers.hh significantly closer to being eliminated.

Override ParseParam<>::parse and ShowParam<>::parse directly. This will
allow using a different format for serializing and displaying registers.
Also get rid of the print() methods. When any cprintf based mechanism is
used (like DPRINTF), the underlying mechanism will use << to output the
value. Since we already override <<, there's no reason to wrap that in a
method which calls csprintf which calls << anyway.

The only way to allocate fixed sized arrays which will definitely be big
enough for all source/destination registers for a given instruction is
to track the maximum number of each at compile time, and then size the
arrays appropriately. That creates a point of centralization which
prevents breaking up decoder and instruction definitions into more
modular pieces, and if multiple ISAs are ever built at once, would
require coordination between all ISAs, and wasting memory for most of
them.
The dynamic allocation overhead is minimized by allocating the storage
for all variable arrays in one chunk, and then placing the arrays there
using placement new. There is still some overhead, although less than it
might be otherwise.

This class had been trying to keep all indices within the modulus of the
queue size, and to use all elements in the underlying storage by making
the empty and full conditions alias, differentiated by a bool. To keep
track of the difference between a storage location on one trip around
the queue vs other times around, ie an alias once the indices had
wrapped, it also keep track of a "round" value in both the queue itself,
and any iterators it created.
All this bookkeeping significantly complicated the data structure.
Instead, this change modifies it to keep track of a monotonically
increasing index which is wrapped at the time it's used. Only the head
index and current size need to be tracked in the queue itself, and only
a pointer to the queue and an index need to be tracked in the iterators.
Theoretically, it's possible that this value could overflow eventually
since it increases forever, unlike before where the index wrapped and
was never larger than the queue's capacity. In practice, the type of the
index was changed from a uint32_t to a size_t, probably a 64 bit value
in modern systems, which will hold much larger values. Also, the round
counter and the index values together acted like a smaller than 64 bit
value anyway, since the round counter would overflow after 2^32 times
around a less than 2^32 entry queue.
One minor interface difference is that the head() and tail() values
returned by the queue are no longer pre-wrapped to be modulo the queue's
capacity. As long as consumers don't try to be overly clever and feed in
fixed values, do their own bounds checking, etc., something that would
be cumbersome considering the wrapping nature of the structure, this
shouldn't be an issue.
Also, since external consumers no longer need to worry about wrapping,
since only one of them was used in only one place, and because they
weren't even marked as part of the interface, the modulo helper
functions have been eliminated from the queue. If other code wants to
perform modulo arithmetic for some reason (which the queue no longer
requires) they can accomplish basically the same thing in basically the
same amount of code using normal math.
Also, rather than inherit from std::vector, this change makes the vector
internal to the queue. That prevents methods of the vector that aren't
aware of the circular nature of the structure from leaking out if
they're not overridden or otherwise proactively blocked.
On top of simplifying the implementation, this also makes it perform
*slightly* better. To measure that, I ran the following command:
$ time build/ARM/base/circular_queue.test.opt --gtest_repeat=100000 > /dev/null
and found a few percent improvement in total run time. While this
difference was small and not measured against realistic usage of the
data structure, it was still measurable, and at minimum doesn't seem to
have hurt performance.
