This commit add regs and configs for vector extension * Add 32 vector arch regs as spec defined and 8 internal regs for uop-based vector implementation. * Add default vector configs(VLEN = 256, ELEN = 64). These cannot be changed yet, since the vector implementation has only be tested with such configs. * Add disassamble register name v0~v31 and vtmp0~vtmp7. * Add CSR registers defined in RISCV Vector Spec v1.0. * Add vector bitfields. * Add vector operand_types and operands.

The gem5 Simulator
This is the repository for the gem5 simulator. It contains the full source code for the simulator and all tests and regressions.
The gem5 simulator is a modular platform for computer-system architecture research, encompassing system-level architecture as well as processor microarchitecture. It is primarily used to evaluate new hardware designs, system software changes, and compile-time and run-time system optimizations.
The main website can be found at http://www.gem5.org.
Getting started
A good starting point is http://www.gem5.org/about, and for more information about building the simulator and getting started please see http://www.gem5.org/documentation and http://www.gem5.org/documentation/learning_gem5/introduction.
Building gem5
To build gem5, you will need the following software: g++ or clang, Python (gem5 links in the Python interpreter), SCons, zlib, m4, and lastly protobuf if you want trace capture and playback support. Please see http://www.gem5.org/documentation/general_docs/building for more details concerning the minimum versions of these tools.
Once you have all dependencies resolved, execute
scons build/ALL/gem5.opt to build an optimized version of the gem5 binary
(gem5.opt) containing all gem5 ISAs. If you only wish to compile gem5 to
include a single ISA, you can replace ALL with the name of the ISA. Valid
options include ARM, NULL, MIPS, POWER, SPARC, and X86 The complete
list of options can be found in the build_opts directory.
See https://www.gem5.org/documentation/general_docs/building for more information on building gem5.
The Source Tree
The main source tree includes these subdirectories:
- build_opts: pre-made default configurations for gem5
- build_tools: tools used internally by gem5's build process.
- configs: example simulation configuration scripts
- ext: less-common external packages needed to build gem5
- include: include files for use in other programs
- site_scons: modular components of the build system
- src: source code of the gem5 simulator. The C++ source, Python wrappers, and Python standard library are found in this directory.
- system: source for some optional system software for simulated systems
- tests: regression tests
- util: useful utility programs and files
gem5 Resources
To run full-system simulations, you may need compiled system firmware, kernel binaries and one or more disk images, depending on gem5's configuration and what type of workload you're trying to run. Many of these resources can be obtained from https://resources.gem5.org.
More information on gem5 Resources can be found at https://www.gem5.org/documentation/general_docs/gem5_resources/.
