cpu: Fix the usage of const DynInstPtr

Summary: Usage of const DynInstPtr& when possible and introduction of
move operators to RefCountingPtr.

In many places, scoped references to dynamic instructions do a copy of
the DynInstPtr when a reference would do. This is detrimental to
performance. On top of that, in case there is a need for reference
tracking for debugging, the redundant copies make the process much more
painful than it already is.

Also, from the theoretical point of view, a function/method that
defines a convenience name to access an instruction should not be
considered an owner of the data, i.e., doing a copy and not a reference
is not justified.

On a related topic, C++11 introduces move semantics, and those are
useful when, for example, there is a class modelling a HW structure that
contains a list, and has a getHeadOfList function, to prevent doing a
copy to an internal variable -> update pointer, remove from the list ->
update pointer, return value making a copy to the assined variable ->
update pointer, destroy the returned value -> update pointer.

# 11168:f98eb2da15a4 12-Oct-2015 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

misc: Remove redundant compiler-specific defines

This patch moves away from using M5_ATTR_OVERRIDE and the m5::hashmap
(and similar) abstractions, as these are no longer needed with gcc 4.7
and clang 3.1 as minimum compiler versions.

cpu: Add drain check functionality to IEW

IEW did not check the instQueue and memDepUnit to ensure
they were drained. This caused issues when drainSanityCheck()
did check those structures after asserting IEW was drained.


# 10473:4cbe53150053 16-Oct-2014 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

o3: Use shared_ptr for MemDepEntry

This patch transitions the o3 MemDepEntry from the ad-hoc
RefCountingPtr to the c++11 shared_ptr. There are no changes in
behaviour, and the code modifications are mainly replacing "new" with
"make_shared".


# 10333:6be8945d226b 03-Sep-2014 Mitch Hayenga <mitch.hayenga@arm.com>

cpu: Fix cache blocked load behavior in o3 cpu

This patch fixes the load blocked/replay mechanism in the o3 cpu. Rather than
flushing the entire pipeline, this patch replays loads once the cache becomes
unblocked.

Additionally, deferred memory instructions (loads which had conflicting stores),
when replayed would not respect the number of functional units (only respected
issue width). This patch also corrects that.

Improvements over 20% have been observed on a microbenchmark designed to
exercise this behavior.


# 9444:ab47fe7f03f0 07-Jan-2013 Andreas Sandberg <Andreas.Sandberg@ARM.com>

cpu: Rewrite O3 draining to avoid stopping in microcode

Previously, the O3 CPU could stop in the middle of a microcode
sequence. This patch makes sure that the pipeline stops when it has
committed a normal instruction or exited from a microcode
sequence. Additionally, it makes sure that the pipeline has no
instructions in flight when it is drained, which should make draining
more robust.

Draining is controlled in the commit stage, which checks if the next
PC after a committed instruction is in microcode. If this isn't the
case, it requests a squash of all instructions after that the
instruction that just committed and immediately signals a drain stall
to the fetch stage. The CPU then continues to execute until the
pipeline and all associated buffers are empty.

clang: Enable compiling gem5 using clang 2.9 and 3.0

This patch adds the necessary flags to the SConstruct and SConscript
files for compiling using clang 2.9 and later (on Ubuntu et al and OSX
XCode 4.2), and also cleans up a bunch of compiler warnings found by
clang. Most of the warnings are related to hidden virtual functions,
comparisons with unsigneds >= 0, and if-statements with empty
bodies. A number of mismatches between struct and class are also
fixed. clang 2.8 is not working as it has problems with class names
that occur in multiple namespaces (e.g. Statistics in
kernel_stats.hh).

clang has a bug (http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=7247) which
causes confusion between the container std::set and the function
Packet::set, and this is currently addressed by not including the
entire namespace std, but rather selecting e.g. "using std::vector" in
the appropriate places.


# 8516:a9c0d2ab490a 19-Aug-2011 Mrinmoy Ghosh <Mrinmoy.Ghosh@arm.com>

LSQ: Add some better dprintfs for storeset predictor.


# 8232:b28d06a175be 15-Apr-2011 Nathan Binkert <nate@binkert.org>

trace: reimplement the DTRACE function so it doesn't use a vector
At the same time, rename the trace flags to debug flags since they
have broader usage than simply tracing. This means that
--trace-flags is now --debug-flags and --trace-help is now --debug-help


# 6221:58a3c04e6344 26-May-2009 Nathan Binkert <nate@binkert.org>

types: add a type for thread IDs and try to use it everywhere


# 6005:1dc178e53487 07-Mar-2009 Nathan Binkert <nate@binkert.org>

stats: fix duplicate statistics names.
This generally requires providing a more meaningful name() function for a
class.


# 5999:3cf8e71257e0 05-Mar-2009 Nathan Binkert <nate@binkert.org>

stats: Fix all stats usages to deal with template fixes


# 5529:9ae69b9cd7fd 11-Aug-2008 Nathan Binkert <nate@binkert.org>

params: Convert the CPU objects to use the auto generated param structs.
A whole bunch of stuff has been converted to use the new params stuff, but
the CPU wasn't one of them. While we're at it, make some things a bit
more stylish. Most of the work was done by Gabe, I just cleaned stuff up
a bit more at the end.

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.
