Nathan Binkert a58b834c8e Clean up network header stuff and make it more generic. Use
libdnet when we can instead of our own home grown stuff.

SConscript:
    separate the crc code into its own file
base/inet.cc:
    move the crc stuff to crc.cc
    add generic code for calculating ip/tcp/udp checksums
base/inet.hh:
    -  move crc stuff to crc.hh
    -  #include all of the libdnet stuff.  (this makes base/inet.hh the
    only file you need to include if you want to use this kind of stuff.)
    -  Wrap some of the libdnet structs to get easier access to structure
    members.  These wrappers will automatically deal with masking/shifting/
    byte-swapping.
base/refcnt.hh:
    If one derives from RefCountingPtr, they should have access to
    the internal data pointer.
build/SConstruct:
    make #include of dnet stuff work
dev/etherlink.cc:
dev/ethertap.cc:
dev/ethertap.hh:
    EtherPacket -> PacketData
dev/etherpkt.cc:
    EtherPacket -> PacketData
    add a function for populating extra info about a packet.
    Basically just gives pointers to ethernet/ip/tcp/udp headers
    if they exist.
dev/etherpkt.hh:
    EtherPacket -> PacketData
    remove most of the packet header stuff from teh PacketData
    class and just add a few generic functions for grabbing various
    headers that may exist in the packet.  The old functionality is
    contained in the headers.
dev/ns_gige.cc:
    -  IP -> Ip, UDP -> Udp, TCP ->Tcp when used in variable names
    -  get rid of our own byte swapping functions.
    -  whack checksum code and use libdnet version.
    -  Get pointers to the various packet headers and grab info from
    those headers.  (The byte swapping in the headers now.)
    -  Add stats for Udp Checksums
dev/ns_gige.hh:
    use libdnet for checksum code.
    IP -> Ip, TCP -> Tcp in variable names
    add stats for UDP checksums

This is release m5_1.0_beta1 of the M5 simulator.

This file contains brief "getting started" information and release
notes.  For more information, see http://m5.eecs.umich.edu.  If you
have questions, please send mail to m5sim-users@lists.sourceforge.net.

WHAT'S INCLUDED (AND NOT)
-------------------------

Since you're reading this file, presumably you've managed to untar the
distribution.  The archive you've unpacked has three subdirectories:
 - m5: the simulator itself
 - m5-test: regression tests and scripts to run them
 - ext: less-common external packages needed to build m5
   (currently ply and libelf)

M5 is a capable, full-system simulator that current supports both Linux
2.4/2.6 and the proprietary Compaq/HP Tru64 version of Unix. We are able 
to distribute Linux bootdisks, but we are unable to distribute bootable
disk images of Tru64 Unix. If you have a Tru64 license and are interested 
in obtaining disk images, contact us at m5-dev@eecs.umich.edu.

WHAT'S NEEDED
-------------
-GCC(3.X)
-Python(2.2.2+)

WHAT'S RECOMMENDED
------------------
-MySQL (for statistics complex statistics storage/retrieval)
-Python-MysqlDB (for statistics analysis) 

GETTING STARTED
---------------

The following steps will build and test the simulator.  The variable
"$top" refers to the top directory where you've unpacked the files,
i.e., the one containing the m5, m5-test, and ext directories.

There are three different build targets and three optimizations in each level:
Target:
-------
ALPHA  - Syscall emulation simulation
KERNEL - Linux full system simulation
KERNEL_TLASER - Tru64 Unix full system simulation

Optimization:
-------------
m5.debug - debug version of the code with tracing and without optimization
m5.opt   - optimized version of code with tracing
m5.fast  - optimized version of the code without tracing and asserts

cd $top/m5/build
scons TARGET/OPTLEVL  # e.g. KERNEL/m5.opt, use -j N if you have a MP system
cd $top/m5-test
./do-tests.pl -B ALPHA	# test what you just built
./do-tests.pl -B KERNEL	# test what you just built
# wait for tests to run...
# should end with "finished do-tests successfully!"
