arch: cpu: Rename *FloatRegBits* to *FloatReg*.
Now that there's no plain FloatReg, there's no reason to distinguish FloatRegBits with a special suffix since it's the only way to read or write FP registers.

cpu: dev: sim: gpu-compute: Banish some ISA specific register types.
These types are IntReg, FloatReg, FloatRegBits, and MiscReg. There are some remaining types, specifically the vector registers and the CCReg. I'm less familiar with these new types of registers, and so will look at getting rid of them at some later time.

misc: Using smart pointers for memory Requests
This patch is changing the underlying type for RequestPtr from Request* to shared_ptr<Request>. Having memory requests being managed by smart pointers will simplify the code; it will also prevent memory leakage and dangling pointers.

misc: Updates for gcc7.2 for x86
GCC 7.2 is much stricter than previous GCC versions. The following changes are needed:
* There is now a warning if there is an implicit fallthrough between two case statments. C++17 adds the [[fallthrough]]; declaration. However, to support non C++17 standards (i.e., C++11), we use M5_FALLTHROUGH. M5_FALLTHROUGH checks for [[fallthrough]] compliant C++17 compiler and if that doesn't exist, it defaults to nothing (no older compilers generate warnings). * The above resulted in a couple of bugs that were found. This is noted in the review request on gerrit. * throw() for dynamic exception specification is deprecated * There were a couple of new uninitialized variable warnings * Can no longer perform bitwise operations on a bool. * Must now include <functional> for std::function * Compiler bug for void* lambda. Changed to auto as work around. See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82878

kvm: Support timing accesses for KVM cpu This patch enables timing accesses for KVM cpu. A new state, RunningMMIOPending, is added to indicate that there are outstanding timing requests generated by KVM in the system. KVM's tick() is disabled and the simulation does not enter into KVM until all outstanding timing requests have completed. The main motivation for this is to allow KVM CPU to perform MMIO in Ruby, since Ruby does not support atomic accesses.

mem: Remove threadId from memory request class
In general, the ThreadID parameter is unnecessary in the memory system as the ContextID is what is used for the purposes of locks/wakeups. Since we allocate sequential ContextIDs for each thread on MT-enabled CPUs, ThreadID is unnecessary as the CPUs can identify the requesting thread through sideband info (SenderState / LSQ entries) or ContextID offset from the base ContextID for a cpu.
This is a re-spin of 20264eb after the revert (bd1c6789) and includes some fixes of that commit.

kvm: Shutdown KVM and disconnect performance counters on fork
We can't/shouldn't use KVM after a fork since the child and parent probably point to the same VM. Knowing the exact effects of this is hard, but they are likely to be messy. We also disconnect the performance counters attached to the guest. This works around what seems to be a kernel bug where spurious SIGIOs get delivered to the forked child process.

sim: Refactor the serialization base class
Objects that are can be serialized are supposed to inherit from the Serializable class. This class is meant to provide a unified API for such objects. However, so far it has mainly been used by SimObjects due to some fundamental design limitations. This changeset redesigns to the serialization interface to make it more generic and hide the underlying checkpoint storage. Specifically:
* Add a set of APIs to serialize into a subsection of the current object. Previously, objects that needed this functionality would use ad-hoc solutions using nameOut() and section name generation. In the new world, an object that implements the interface has the methods serializeSection() and unserializeSection() that serialize into a named /subsection/ of the current object. Calling serialize() serializes an object into the current section.
* Move the name() method from Serializable to SimObject as it is no longer needed for serialization. The fully qualified section name is generated by the main serialization code on the fly as objects serialize sub-objects.
* Add a scoped ScopedCheckpointSection helper class. Some objects need to serialize data structures, that are not deriving from Serializable, into subsections. Previously, this was done using nameOut() and manual section name generation. To simplify this, this changeset introduces a ScopedCheckpointSection() helper class. When this class is instantiated, it adds a new /subsection/ and subsequent serialization calls during the lifetime of this helper class happen inside this section (or a subsection in case of nested sections).
* The serialize() call is now const which prevents accidental state manipulation during serialization. Objects that rely on modifying state can use the serializeOld() call instead. The default implementation simply calls serialize(). Note: The old-style calls need to be explicitly called using the serializeOld()/serializeSectionOld() style APIs. These are used by default when serializing SimObjects.
* Both the input and output checkpoints now use their own named types. This hides underlying checkpoint implementation from objects that need checkpointing and makes it easier to change the underlying checkpoint storage code.

mem: Clean up Request initialisation
This patch tidies up how we create and set the fields of a Request. In essence it tries to use the constructor where possible (as opposed to setPhys and setVirt), thus avoiding spreading the information across a number of locations. In fact, setPhys is made private as part of this patch, and a number of places where we callede setVirt instead uses the appropriate constructor.

kvm, x86: Add initial support for multicore simulation
Simulating a SMP or multicore requires devices to be shared between multiple KVM vCPUs. This means that locking is required when accessing devices. This changeset adds the necessary locking to allow devices to execute correctly. It is implemented by temporarily migrating the KVM CPU to the VM's (and devices) event queue when handling MMIO. Similarly, the VM migrates to the interrupt controller's event queue when delivering an interrupt.
The support for fast-forwarding of multicore simulations added by this changeset assumes that all devices in a system are simulated in the same thread and each vCPU has its own thread. Special care must be taken to ensure that devices living under the CPU in the object hierarchy (e.g., the interrupt controller) do not inherit the parent CPUs thread and are assigned to device thread. The KvmVM object is assumed to live in the same thread as the other devices in the system.

kvm: x86: Adjust PC to remove the CS segment base address

kvm: x86: Always assume segments to be usable
When transferring segment registers into kvm, we need to find the value of the unusable bit. We used to assume that this could be inferred from the selector since segments are generally unusable if their selector is 0. This assumption breaks in some weird corner cases. Instead, we just assume that segments are always usable. This is what qemu does so it should work.

kvm: FPU synchronization support on x86
This changeset adds support for synchronizing the FPU and SIMD state of a virtual x86 CPU with gem5. It supports both the XSave API and the KVM_(GET|SET)_FPU kernel API. The XSave interface can be disabled using the useXSave parameter (in case of kernel issues). Unfortunately, KVM_(GET|SET)_FPU interface seems to be buggy in some kernels (specifically, the MXCSR register isn't always synchronized), which means that it might not be possible to synchronize MXCSR on old kernels without the XSave interface.
This changeset depends on the __float80 type in gcc and might not build using llvm.

kvm: Initial x86 support
This changeset adds support for KVM on x86. Full support is split across a number of commits since some features are relatively complex. This changeset includes support for:
* Integer state synchronization (including segment regs) * CPUID (gem5's CPUID values are inserted into KVM) * x86 legacy IO (remapped and handled by gem5's memory system) * Memory mapped IO * PCI * MSRs * State dumping
Most of the functionality is fairly straight forward. There are some quirks to support PCI enumerations since this is done in the TLB(!) in the simulated CPUs. We currently replicate some of that code.
Unlike the ARM implementation, the x86 implementation of the virtual CPU does not use the cycles hardware counter. KVM on x86 simulates the time stamp counter (TSC) in the kernel. If we just measure host cycles using perfevent, we might end up measuring a slightly different number of cycles. If we don't get the cycle accounting right, we might end up rewinding the TSC, with all kinds of chaos as a result.
An additional feature of the KVM CPU on x86 is extended state dumping. This enables Python scripts controlling the simulator to request dumping of a subset of the processor state. The following methods are currenlty supported:
* dumpFpuRegs * dumpIntRegs * dumpSpecRegs * dumpDebugRegs * dumpXCRs * dumpXSave * dumpVCpuEvents * dumpMSRs
Known limitations: * M5 ops are currently not supported. * FPU synchronization is not supported (only affects CPU switching).
Both of the limitations will be addressed in separate commits.
