The print function used for RubyRequests did not include the GPU
specific fields (for the GLC and SLC bits, which are cache modifiers
that specify what level of the memory hierarchy a request should be
performed at). This causes confusion when the GPU Ruby SLICC code
prints out RubyRequest messages, since important fields are missing.
Thus this commit adds that support. Since these fields are already
part of the RubyRequest class, and are always 0 for non-GPU requests,
it should not affect other components beyond slightly longer prints.

Introduce far atomic operations in CHI protocol.
Three configuration parameters have been used to tune this behavior:
policy_type: sets the atomic policy to one of the described in our paper
atomic_op_latency: simulates the AMO ALU operation latency
comp_anr: configures the Atomic No return transaction to split
CompDBIDResp into two different messages DBIDResp and Comp

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.

A single functionalRead may not be able to get the whole latest
copy of the block in protocols that have features such as:
- a cache line can be partially present and dirty in a controller
- a cache line can be transferred over the network using multiple
protocol-level messages
To support these cases, this patch adds an alternative function:
bool functionalRead(PacketPtr, WriteMask&)
Protocols that implement this function can partially update
the packet and use the WriteMask to mark updated bytes.
The top-level RubySystem:functionalRead then issues functionalRead
to controllers until the whole block is read.
This patch implements functionalRead(PacketPtr, WriteMask&) for all the
common messages and SimpleNetwork. A protocol-specific implementation
will be provided in a future patch.
The new interface is compiled only if required by the protocol (see
src/mem/ruby/system/SConscript). Otherwise the original interface is
used thus maintaining compatibility with previous protocols.

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.

Changeset 4872dbdea907 replaced Address by Addr, but did not make changes to
print statements. So the addresses which were being printed in hex earlier
along with their line address, were now being printed in decimals. This patch
adds a function printAddress(Addr) that can be used to print the address in hex
along with the lines address. This function has been put to use in some of the
places. At other places, change has been made to print just the address in
hex.
This patch eliminates the type Address defined by the ruby memory system.
This memory system would now use the type Addr that is in use by the
rest of the system.
This patch takes a first step in tightening up how we use the data
pointer in write packets. A const getter is added for the pointer
itself (getConstPtr), and a number of member functions are also made
const accordingly. In a range of places throughout the memory system
the new member is used.
The patch also removes the unused isReadWrite function.
This patch removes the parameter that enables bypassing the null check
in the Packet::getPtr method. A number of call sites assume the value
to be non-null.
The one odd case is the RubyTester, which issues zero-sized
prefetches(!), and despite being reads they had no valid data
pointer. This is now fixed, but the size oddity remains (unless anyone
object or has any good suggestions).
Finally, in the Ruby Sequencer, appropriate checks are made for flush
packets as they have no valid data pointer.
The functional write code was assuming that all writes are block sized,
which may not be true for Ruby Requests. This bug can lead to a buffer
overflow.

This patch adds support to different entities in the ruby memory system
for more reliable functional read/write accesses. Only the simple network
has been augmented as of now. Later on Garnet will also support functional
accesses.
The patch adds functional access code to all the different types of messages
that protocols can send around. These messages are functionally accessed
by going through the buffers maintained by the network entities.
The patch also rectifies some of the bugs found in coherence protocols while
testing the patch.
With this patch applied, functional writes always succeed. But functional
reads can still fail.
The goal of the patch is to do away with the CacheMsg class currently in use
in coherence protocols. In place of CacheMsg, the RubyRequest class will used.
This class is already present in slicc_interface/RubyRequest.hh. In fact,
objects of class CacheMsg are generated by copying values from a RubyRequest
object.
