c52f77a1d7 mem-cache: Remove IP dependency from TaggedEntry
We don't store a pointer to the indexing policy anymore.
Instead, we register a tag extractor callback when we
construct the TaggedEntry

4030e39c9a mem-cache: Remove AssociativeSet data type
As detailed by a previous commit, AssociativeSet is not needed anymore.
The class is effectively the same as AssociativeCache

ee9814499d base, mem-cache: Rewrite TaggedEntry code
The only difference between the TaggedEntry and the newly defined
CacheEntry is the presence of the secure flag in the first case.  The
need to tag a cache entry according to the security bit required the
overloading of the matching methods in the TaggedEntry class to take
security into account (See matchTag [1]), and the persistance after
PR #745 of the AssociativeSet class which is basically identical
to its AssociativeCache superclass, only it overrides its virtual
method to match the tag according to the secure bit as well.

The introduction of the KeyType parameter in the previous commit
will smoothe the differences and help unifying the interface.

Rather than overloading and overriding to account for a different
signature, we embody the difference in the KeyType class. A
CacheEntry will match with KeyType = Addr,
whereas a TaggedEntry will use the following lookup type proposed in this
patch:

struct KeyType {
    Addr address;
    bool secure;
}

This patch is partly reverting the changes in #745 which were
reimplementing TaggedEntry on top of the CacheEntry. Instead
we keep them separate as the plan is to allow different
entry types with templatization rather than polymorphism.

As a final note, I believe a separate commit will have to
change the naming of our entries; the CacheEntry should
probably be renamed into TaggedEntry and the current TaggedEntry
into something that reflect the presence of the security bit
alongside the traditional address tag

4814fedef0 base, mem-cache: Do not expose tags to the AssociativeCache
Exposing the tag of a cache entry through the associative
cache APIs makes it hard to generalize the cache for
structured tags. Ultimately the tag should be a property
of the cache entry and any tag extraction logic (if needed)
should reside there. In this we can reuse the associative
cache for different Entry params, each one bearing a different
representation of a tag

af2ee0db30 mem-cache: decoupled prefetchers from cache
This patches decouples the prefetchers from the cache implementation
as the first step to allow using the classic prefetchers with ruby
caches. The prefetchers that need do cache lookups can do so using
the accessor object provided when the probes are notified. This may
also facilitate connecting the same prefetcher to multiple caches.

974a47dfb9 misc: Adopt the gem5 namespace
Apply the gem5 namespace to the codebase.

Some anonymous namespaces could theoretically be removed,
but since this change's main goal was to keep conflicts
at a minimum, it was decided not to modify much the
general shape of the files.

A few missing comments of the form "// namespace X" that
occurred before the newly added "} // namespace gem5"
have been added for consistency.

std out should not be included in the gem5 namespace, so
they weren't.

ProtoMessage has not been included in the gem5 namespace,
since I'm not familiar with how proto works.

Regarding the SystemC files, although they belong to gem5,
they actually perform integration between gem5 and SystemC;
therefore, it deserved its own separate namespace.

Files that are automatically generated have been included
in the gem5 namespace.

The .isa files currently are limited to a single namespace.
This limitation should be later removed to make it easier
to accomodate a better API.

Regarding the files in util, gem5:: was prepended where
suitable. Notice that this patch was tested as much as
possible given that most of these were already not
previously compiling.

df72e9d548 mem-cache: Rename Prefetcher namespace as prefetch
As part of recent decisions regarding namespace
naming conventions, all namespaces will be changed
to snake case.

::Prefetcher became ::prefetcher.

"prefetch" was chosen over "prefetcher" to avoid generating
conflicts with the already existing variables. "prefetcher"
is a name that is expected to be more common in user's code
than "prefetch".

2922f763e1 misc: Fix coding style for struct's opening braces
The systemc dir was not included in this fix.

First it was identified that there were only occurrences
at 0, 1, 2 and 3 levels of indentation (and a single
occurrence of 2 and 3 spaces), using:

    grep -nrE --exclude-dir=systemc \
        "^ *struct [A-Za-z].* {$" src/

Then the following commands were run to replace:

<indent level>struct X ... {

by:

<indent level>struct X ...
<indent level>{

Level 0:
    grep -nrl --exclude-dir=systemc
        "^struct [A-Za-z].* {$" src/ | \
        xargs sed -Ei \
        's/^struct ([A-Za-z].*) \{$/struct \1\n\{/g'

Level 1:
    grep -nrl --exclude-dir=systemc \
        "^    struct [A-Za-z].* {$" src/ | \
        xargs sed -Ei \
        's/^    struct ([A-Za-z].*) \{$/    struct \1\n    \{/g'

and so on.

91d83cc8a1 misc: Standardize the way create() constructs SimObjects.
The create() method on Params structs usually instantiate SimObjects
using a constructor which takes the Params struct as a parameter
somehow. There has been a lot of needless variation in how that was
done, making it annoying to pass Params down to base classes. Some of
the different forms were:

const Params &
Params &
Params *
const Params *
Params const*

This change goes through and fixes up every constructor and every
create() method to use the const Params & form. We use a reference
because the Params struct should never be null. We use const because
neither the create method nor the consuming object should modify the
record of the parameters as they came in from the config. That would
make consuming them not idempotent, and make it impossible to tell what
the actual simulation configuration was since it would change from any
user visible form (config script, config.ini, dot pdf output).

Add an invalidation function to the AssociativeSet, so that entries
can be properly invalidated by also invalidating their replacement
data.

Both setInvalid and reset have been merged into invalidate to
indicate users that they are using an incorrect approach by
generating compilation errors, and to match CacheBlk's naming
convention.
