syscall_emul: [patch 13/22] add system call retry capability

This changeset adds functionality that allows system calls to retry without
affecting thread context state such as the program counter or register values
for the associated thread context (when system calls return with a retry
fault).

This functionality is needed to solve problems with blocking system calls
in multi-process or multi-threaded simulations where information is passed
between processes/threads. Blocking system calls can cause deadlock because
the simulator itself is single threaded. There is only a single thread
servicing the event queue which can cause deadlock if the thread hits a
blocking system call instruction.

To illustrate the problem, consider two processes using the producer/consumer
sharing model. The processes can use file descriptors and the read and write
calls to pass information to one another. If the consumer calls the blocking
read system call before the producer has produced anything, the call will
block the event queue (while executing the system call instruction) and
deadlock the simulation.

The solution implemented in this changeset is to recognize that the system
calls will block and then generate a special retry fault. The fault will
be sent back up through the function call chain until it is exposed to the
cpu model's pipeline where the fault becomes visible. The fault will trigger
the cpu model to replay the instruction at a future tick where the call has
a chance to succeed without actually going into a blocking state.

In subsequent patches, we recognize that a syscall will block by calling a
non-blocking poll (from inside the system call implementation) and checking
for events. When events show up during the poll, it signifies that the call
would not have blocked and the syscall is allowed to proceed (calling an
underlying host system call if necessary). If no events are returned from the
poll, we generate the fault and try the instruction for the thread context
at a distant tick. Note that retrying every tick is not efficient.

As an aside, the simulator has some multi-threading support for the event
queue, but it is not used by default and needs work. Even if the event queue
was completely multi-threaded, meaning that there is a hardware thread on
the host servicing a single simulator thread contexts with a 1:1 mapping
between them, it's still possible to run into deadlock due to the event queue
barriers on quantum boundaries. The solution of replaying at a later tick
is the simplest solution and solves the problem generally.

syscall_emul: [patch 5/22] remove LiveProcess class and use Process instead

The EIOProcess class was removed recently and it was the only other class
which derived from Process. Since every Process invocation is also a
LiveProcess invocation, it makes sense to simplify the organization by
combining the fields from LiveProcess into Process.


# 11794:97eebddaae84 09-Nov-2016 Brandon Potter <brandon.potter@amd.com>

syscall_emul: [patch 2/22] move SyscallDesc into its own .hh and .cc

The class was crammed into syscall_emul.hh which has tons of forward
declarations and template definitions. To clean it up a bit, moved the
class into separate files and commented the class with doxygen style
comments. Also, provided some encapsulation by adding some accessors and
a mutator.

The syscallreturn.hh file was renamed syscall_return.hh to make it consistent
with other similarly named files in the src/sim directory.

The DPRINTF_SYSCALL macro was moved into its own header file with the
include the Base and Verbose flags as well.

# 8229:78bf55f23338 15-Apr-2011 Nathan Binkert <nate@binkert.org>

includes: sort all includes


# 7741:340b6f01d69b 11-Nov-2010 Gabe Black <gblack@eecs.umich.edu>

SPARC: Clean up some historical style issues.


# 6329:5d8b91875859 09-Jul-2009 Gabe Black <gblack@eecs.umich.edu>

Registers: Add a registers.hh file as an ISA switched header.
This file is for register indices, Num* constants, and register types.
copyRegs and copyMiscRegs were moved to utility.hh and utility.cc.


# 6075:1e1a874f9b17 19-Apr-2009 Gabe Black <gblack@eecs.umich.edu>

SE mode: Make keeping track of the number of syscalls less hacky.


# 5981:5e7899a2692f 28-Feb-2009 Steve Reinhardt <stever@gmail.com>

Fix Num_Syscall_Descs check bug in non-x86 ISAs.
(See cset d35d2b28df38 for x86 fix.)


# 5154:7e6431213487 16-Oct-2007 Gabe Black <gblack@eecs.umich.edu>

Make the process objects use the Params structs in their constructors, and use a limit to check if access are on the stack.


# 4188:6a9ac3b35285 09-Mar-2007 Gabe Black <gblack@eecs.umich.edu>

Split the syscall table, SPARC specific syscall implementations, and the 32 bit syscall table into it's own file. Corrected problems with the stat structure. These should be tested on 64 bit x86 and SPARC machines.


# 4118:ddd23e5282d7 02-Mar-2007 Gabe Black <gblack@eecs.umich.edu>

Implement the _llseek syscall. It's Linux only, so we'll actually use the lseek syscall.


# 4111:65fffcb4fae9 28-Feb-2007 Gabe Black <gblack@eecs.umich.edu>

Make trap instructions always generate TrapInstruction Fault objects which call into the Process object to handle system calls. Refactored the Process objects, and move the handler code into it's own file, and add some syscalls which are used in a natively compiled hello world. Software traps with trap number 3 (not syscall number 3) are supposed to cause the register windows to be flushed but are ignored right now. Finally, made uname for SPARC report a 2.6.12 kernel which is what m22-018.pool happens to be running.


# 3669:3607aaed36b6 16-Nov-2006 Nathan Binkert <binkertn@umich.edu>

Implement current working directory for LiveProcesses


# 3114:7a4771b9b720 17-Sep-2006 Gabe Black <gblack@eecs.umich.edu>

Change ExecContext to ThreadContext. This is being renamed to differentiate between the interface used objects outside of the CPU, and the interface used by the ISA. ThreadContext is used by objects outside of the CPU and is specifically defined in thread_context.hh. ExecContext is more implicit, and is defined by files such as base_dyn_inst.hh or cpu/simple/base.hh.

Further renames/reorganization will be coming shortly; what is currently CPUExecContext (the old ExecContext from m5) will be renamed to SimpleThread or something similar.

New directory structure:
- simulator source now in 'src' subdirectory
- imported files from 'ext' repository
- support building in arbitrary places, including
outside of the source tree. See comment at top
of SConstruct file for more details.
Regression tests are temporarily disabled; that
syetem needs more extensive revisions.

SConstruct:
Update for new directory structure.
Modify to support build trees that are not subdirectories
of the source tree. See comment at top of file for
