cpu-o3: Add support for pinned writes

This patch adds support for pinning registers for a certain number of
consecutive writes. This is only relevant for timing CPU models
(functional-only models are unaffected), and it is primarily needed to
provide a realistic execution model for micro-coded operations whose
microops can write to non-overlapping portions of a destination
register, e.g. vector gather loads. In those cases, this mechanism
can disable renaming for a sequence of consecutive writes, thus making
the resulting execution more efficient: allocating a new physical
register for each microop would introduce a read-modify-write chain of
dependencies, while with these modifications the microops can write
back in parallel.

Please note that this new feature is only leveraged by O3CPU for the
time being.

cpu: O3 switchFreeList checking VecElems instead of FloatRegs

Vector elements should be checked instead of floats since those are the

cpu, arch, arch-arm: Wire unused VecElem code in the O3 model

VecElem code had been introduced in order to simulate change of renaming
for vector registers. Most of the work is happening on the rename_map
switchRenameMode. Change of renaming can happen after a squash in the
pipeline.
This patch is also changing the interface to the ISA part so that
a PCState is used instead of ISA in order to check if rename mode
has changed.

Previously, reg_class_impl.hh was added in order to prevent a cyclic

http://reviews.gem5.org/r/3754). It was determined that this was not
necessary. The two files had almost entirely the same includes, and the
current test-suite including multiple gcc and clang compilers on both
MacOS and Linux successfully built the library with all functionality
moved into the reg_class.hh file.

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.

improvements of mine.

cpu: Simplify the rename interface and use RegId

With the hierarchical RegId there are a lot of functions that are
redundant now.

The idea behind the simplification is that instead of having the regId,
telling which kind of register read/write/rename/lookup/etc. and then
the function panic_if'ing if the regId is not of the appropriate type,
we provide an interface that decides what kind of register to read
depending on the register type of the given regId.

cpu: Physical register structural + flat indexing

Mimic the changes done on the architectural register indexes on the
physical register indexes. This is specific to the O3 model. The
structure, called PhysRegId, contains a register class, a register
index and a flat register index. The flat register index is kept
because it is useful in some cases where the type of register is not
important (dependency graph and scoreboard for example). Instead
of directly using the structure, most of the code is working with
a const PhysRegId* (typedef to PhysRegIdPtr). The actual PhysRegId
objects are stored in the regFile.

cpu: implements vector registers

This adds a vector register type. The type is defined as a std::array of a
fixed number of uint64_ts. The isa_parser.py has been modified to parse vector
register operands and generate the required code. Different cpus have vector
register files now.

o3: correct the number of cc registers in rename map

arm: Fixes based on UBSan and static analysis

Another churn to clean up undefined behaviour, mostly ARM, but some
parts also touching the generic part of the code base.

Most of the fixes are simply ensuring that proper intialisation. One
of the more subtle changes is the return type of the sign-extension,
which is changed to uint64_t. This is to avoid shifting negative
values (undefined behaviour) in the ISA code.

cpu: add a condition-code register class

Add a third register class for condition codes,
in parallel with the integer and FP classes.
No ISAs use the CC class at this point though.

cpu/o3: clean up rename map and free list

Restructured rename map and free list to clean up some
extraneous code and separate out common code that can
be reused across different register classes (int and fp
at this point). Both components now consist of a set
of Simple* objects that are stand-alone rename map &
free list for each class, plus a Unified* object that
presents a unified interface across all register
classes and then redirects accesses to the appropriate
Simple* object as needed.

Moved free list initialization to PhysRegFile to better
isolate knowledge of physical register index mappings
to that class (and remove the need to pass a number
of parameters to the free list constructor).

Causes a small change to these stats:
cpu.rename.int_rename_lookups
cpu.rename.fp_rename_lookups
because they are now categorized on a per-operand basis
rather than a per-instruction basis.
That is, an instruction with mixed fp/int/misc operand
types will have each operand categorized independently,
where previously the lookup was categorized based on
the instruction type.

o3 cpu: fix zero reg problem
There was an issue w/ the rename logic, which would assign a previous physical
register to the ZeroReg architectural register in x86. This issue was giving
problems for instructions squashed in threads w/ ID different from 0,
sometimes allowing non-mispredicted instructions to obtain a value different
from zero when reading the zeroReg.

o3: missing newlines on some dprintfs

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

Make the floating point zero register special handling only apply for ALPHA.

A couple of minor fixes.
1. Set CPU ID in all modes for the O3 CPU.
2. Use nextCycle() function to prevent phase drift in O3 CPU.
3. Remove assertion in rename map that is no longer true.

src/cpu/o3/alpha/cpu_builder.cc:
Allow for CPU id in all modes, not just full system. Also include a parameter that was left out by accident.
src/cpu/o3/alpha/cpu_impl.hh:
Set the CPU ID properly.
src/cpu/o3/cpu.cc:
src/cpu/o3/cpu.hh:
Use nextCycle() function so that the CPU does not get out of phase when starting up from quiesces.
src/cpu/o3/rename_map.cc:
Remove assertion that is no longer true.
tests/configs/o3-timing.py:
Set CPU's id to 0.

don't use (*activeThreads).begin(), use activeThreads->blah().
Also don't call (*activeThreads).end() over and over. Just
call activeThreads->end() once and save the result.
Make sure we always check that there are elements in the list
before we grab the first one.
