arch-arm: Implement ARMv8.1-PAN, Privileged access never

ARMv8.1-PAN adds a new bit to PSTATE. When the value of this PAN state
bit is 1, any privileged data access from EL1 or EL2 to a virtual memory
address that is accessible at EL0 generates a Permission fault.
This feature is mandatory in ARMv8.1 implementations.
This feature is supported in AArch64 and AArch32 states.
The ID_AA64MMFR1_EL1.PAN, ID_MMFR3_EL1.PAN, and ID_MMFR3.PAN fields
identify the support for ARMv8.1-PAN.

arch-arm: Implement ARMv8.1-HPD, Hierarchical permission disable

According to the armarm:
ARMv8.1-HPD introduces the facility to disable the hierarchical
attributes, APTable, PXNTable, and UXNTable, in the translation tables.
This disable has no effect on the NSTable bit. This feature is
mandatory in ARMv8.1 implementations.

This feature is added only to the VMSAv8-64 translation regimes. ARMv8.2
extends this to the AArch32 translation regimes, see ARMv8.2-AA32HPD.

The ID_AA64MMFR1_EL1.HPDS field identifies the support for ARMv8.1-HPD.

python: Don't assume SimObjects live in the global namespace

The importer in Python 3 doesn't like the way we import SimObjects
from the global namespace. Convert the existing SimObject declarations
to import from m5.objects. As a side-effect, this makes these files
consistent with configuration files.

arch-arm: ISA param for treating MISCREG_IMPDEF_UNIMPL as NOP

In the Arm ISA there are some sys reg numbers which are reserved for
implementation defined registers. The default behaviour is to to treat
them as unimplemented registers. It is now possible to change this
behaviour at runtime and treat them as NOP. In this way an access to
those register won't make simulation fail.

cpu: Added interface for vector reg file

This patch adds some more functionality to the cpu model and the arch to
interface with the vector register file.

This change consists mainly of augmenting ThreadContexts and ExecContexts
with calls to get/set full vectors, underlying microarchitectural elements
or lanes. Those are meant to interface with the vector register file. All
classes that implement this interface also get an appropriate implementation.

This requires implementing the vector register file for the different
models using the VecRegContainer class.

This change set also updates the Result abstraction to contemplate the
possibility of having a vector as result.

The changes also affect how the remote_gdb connection works.

There are some (nasty) side effects, such as the need to define dummy
numPhysVecRegs parameter values for architectures that do not implement
vector extensions.

Nathanael Premillieu's work with an increasing number of fixes and
improvements of mine.

isa: Add parameter to pick different decoder inside ISA

The decoder is responsible for splitting instructions in micro
operations (uops). Given that different micro architectures may split
operations differently, this patch allows to specify which micro
architecture each isa implements, so different cores in the system can
split instructions differently, also decoupling uop splitting
(microArch) from ISA (Arch). This is done making the decodification
calls templates that receive a type 'DecoderFlavour' that maps the
name of the operation to the class that implements it. This way there
is only one selection point (converting the command line enum to the
appropriate DecodeFeatures object). In addition, there is no explicit
code replication: template instantiation hides that, and the compiler
should be able to resolve a number of things at compile-time.

arm: Add a model of an ARM PMUv3

This class implements a subset of the ARM PMU v3 specification as
described in the ARMv8 reference manual. It supports most of the
features of the PMU, however the following features are known to be
missing:

* Event filtering (e.g., from different privilege levels).
* Access controls (the PMU currently ignores the execution level).
* The chain counter (event no. 0x1E) is unimplemented.

The PMU itself does not implement any events, it merely provides an
interface for the configuration scripts to hook up probes that drive
events. Configuration scripts should call addEventProbe() to configure
custom events or high-level methods to configure architected
events. The Python implementation of addEventProbe() automatically
delays event type registration until after instantiation.

In order to support CPU switching and some combined counters (e.g.,
memory references synthesized from loads and stores), the PMU allows
multiple probes per event type. When creating a system that switches
between CPU models that share the same PMU, PMU events for all of the
CPU models can be registered with the PMU.

Kudos to Matt Horsnell for the initial gem5 implementation of the PMU.

arm: Add support for ARMv8 (AArch64 & AArch32)

Note: AArch64 and AArch32 interworking is not supported. If you use an AArch64
kernel you are restricted to AArch64 user-mode binaries. This will be addressed
in a later patch.

Note: Virtualization is only supported in AArch32 mode. This will also be fixed
in a later patch.

arm: Make ID registers ISA parameters

This patch makes the values of ID_ISARx, MIDR, and FPSID configurable
as ISA parameter values. Additionally, setMiscReg now ignores writes
to all of the ID registers.

Note: This moves the MIDR parameter from ArmSystem to ArmISA for
consistency.

arch: Make the ISA class inherit from SimObject

The ISA class on stores the contents of ID registers on many
architectures. In order to make reset values of such registers
configurable, we make the class inherit from SimObject, which allows
us to use the normal generated parameter headers.

This patch introduces a Python helper method, BaseCPU.createThreads(),
which creates a set of ISAs for each of the threads in an SMT
system. Although it is currently only needed when creating
multi-threaded CPUs, it should always be called before instantiating
the system as this is an obvious place to configure ID registers
identifying a thread/CPU.
