sparc: Get rid of some register type definitions.
These are IntReg, FloatReg, FloatRegBits, and MiscReg. These have been supplanted by the global types RegVal and FloatRegVal.

arch,mem: Move page table construction into the arch classes.
This gets rid of an awkward NoArchPageTable class, and also gives the arch a place to inject ISA specific parameters (specifically page size) without having to have TheISA:: in the generic version of these types.

syscall-emul: Move memState into its own file
The Process class is full of implementation details and structures related to SE Mode. This changeset factors out an internal class from Process and moves it into a separate file. The purpose behind doing this is to clean up the code and make it a bit more modular.

syscall_emul: [PATCH 15/22] add clone/execve for threading and multiprocess simulations
Modifies the clone system call and adds execve system call. Requires allowing processes to steal thread contexts from other processes in the same system object and the ability to detach pieces of process state (such as MemState) to allow dynamic sharing.

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.

syscall_emul: move mmapGrowsDown() to LiveProcess
The mmapGrowsDown() method was a static method on the OperatingSystem class (and derived classes), which worked OK for the templated syscall emulation methods, but made it hard to access elsewhere. This patch moves the method to be a virtual function on the LiveProcess method, where it can be overridden for specific platforms (for now, Alpha).
This patch also changes the value of mmapGrowsDown() from being false by default and true only on X86Linux32 to being true by default and false only on Alpha, which seems closer to reality (though in reality most people use ASLR and this doesn't really matter anymore).
In the process, also got rid of the unused mmap_start field on LiveProcess and OperatingSystem mmapGrowsUp variable.

mem: adding architectural page table support for SE mode This patch enables the use of page tables that are stored in system memory and respect x86 specification, in SE mode. It defines an architectural page table for x86 as a MultiLevelPageTable class and puts a placeholder class for other ISAs page tables, giving the possibility for future implementation.

scons: Add warning for overloaded virtual functions
A derived function with a different signature than a base class function will result in the base class function of the same name being hidden. The parameter list and return type for the member function in the derived class must match those of the member function in the base class, otherwise the function in the derived class will hide the function in the base class and no polymorphic behaviour will occur.
This patch addresses these warnings by ensuring a unique function name to avoid (unintentionally) hiding any functions.

sim: revamp unserialization procedure
Replace direct call to unserialize() on each SimObject with a pair of calls for better control over initialization in both ckpt and non-ckpt cases.
If restoring from a checkpoint, loadState(ckpt) is called on each SimObject. The default implementation simply calls unserialize() if there is a corresponding checkpoint section, so we get backward compatibility for existing objects. However, objects can override loadState() to get other behaviors, e.g., doing other programmed initializations after unserialize(), or complaining if no checkpoint section is found. (Note that the default warning for a missing checkpoint section is now gone.)
If not restoring from a checkpoint, we call the new initState() method on each SimObject instead. This provides a hook for state initializations that are only required when *not* restoring from a checkpoint.
Given this new framework, do some cleanup of LiveProcess subclasses and X86System, which were (in some cases) emulating initState() behavior in startup via a local flag or (in other cases) erroneously doing initializations in startup() that clobbered state loaded earlier by unserialize().

Syscalls: Make system calls access arguments like a stack, not an array.
When accessing arguments for a syscall, the position of an argument depends on the policies of the ISA, how much space preceding arguments took up, and the "alignment" of the index for this particular argument into the number of possible storate locations. This change adjusts getSyscallArg to take its index parameter by reference instead of value and to adjust it to point to the possible location of the next argument on the stack, basically just after the current one. This way, the rules for the new argument can be applied locally without knowing about other arguments since those have already been taken into account implicitly.
All system calls have also been changed to reflect the new interface. In a number of cases this made the implementation clearer since it encourages arguments to be collected in one place in order and then used as necessary later, as opposed to scattering them throughout the function or using them in place in long expressions. It also discourages using getSyscallArg over and over to retrieve the same value when a temporary would do the job.

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.
