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.

arm: make Arm GenericTimer a ClockedObject

Within a device tree, the GenericTimer device needs to point (via phandle)
to a clock domain which is itself also an object in the device tree. Within
gem5, clock domains are managed by making all clocked SimObjects inherit
from ClockedObject rather than SimObject.

Without this change, the GenericTimer is unable to generate the appropriate
clock domain phandle, and will crash during DTB autogeneration.

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, arm: Switch to the device EQ when accessing ISA devices

ISA devices typically run in the device event queue. Previously, we
assumed that devices would perform their own EQ migrations as
needed. This isn't ideal since it means we have different conventions
for IO devices and ISA devices. Switch to doing migrations in the KVM
CPU instead to make the behavior consistent.

dev,arm: add Kvm mode of operation for CP15 timer

The timer device exposed via the ARM ISA, also known as the
"CP15 timer" due to its legacy coprocessor encodings, is
implemented by the GenericTimerISA class. During Kvm
execution, however, this functionality is directly emulated
by the hardware.

This commit subclasses the GenericTimer, which is (solely)
used by GenericTimerISA, to facilitate Kvm in much the same
way as the prior GIC changes: the gem5 model is used as the
backing store for state, so checkpointing and CPU switching
work correctly, but isn't used during Kvm execution.

The added indirection prevents the timer device from creating
events when we're just updating its state, but not actually
using it for simulation.

dev,arm: remove and recreate timer events around drains

Having timer events stored in checkpoints complicates Kvm
execution. We change the timer behavior so that it always
deschedules any pending events on a drain() and recreates
them on a drainResume(), thus they will never appear in
checkpoints henceforth. This pattern of behavior makes
it simpler to handle Kvm execution, where the hardware
performs the timer function directly.

dev, arm: Fix multi-core KVM race in the generic timer

The generic timer sometimes needs to access global state. This can
lead to race conditions when simulating a multi-core KVM system where
each core lives in its own thread. In that case, the setMiscReg and
readMiscReg methods are called from the thread owning the CPU and not
the global device thread.

dev, arm: Make GenericTimer param handling more robust

The generic timer needs a pointer to an ArmSystem to wire itself to the
system register handler. This was previously specified as an instance
of System that was later cast to ArmSystem. Make this more robust by
specifying it as an ArmSystem in the Python interface and add a check
to make sure that it is non-NULL.

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.

arm, dev: Add support for a memory mapped generic timer

There are cases when we don't want to use a system register mapped
generic timer, but can't use the SP804. For example, when using KVM on
aarch64, we want to intercept accesses to the generic timer, but can't
do so if it is using the system register interface. In such cases,
we need to use a memory-mapped generic timer.

This changeset adds a device model that implements the memory mapped
generic timer interface. The current implementation only supports a
single frame (i.e., one virtual timer and one physical timer).


# 10845:75df7a87be83 23-May-2015 Andreas Sandberg <andreas.sandberg@arm.com>

dev, arm: Add virtual timers to the generic timer model

The generic timer model currently does not support virtual
counters. Virtual and physical counters both tick with the same
frequency. However, virtual timers allow a hypervisor to set an offset
that is subtracted from the counter when it is read. This enables the
hypervisor to present a time base that ticks with virtual time in the
VM (i.e., doesn't tick when the VM isn't running). Modern Linux
kernels generally assume that virtual counters exist and try to use
them by default.

dev, arm: Refactor and clean up the generic timer model

This changeset cleans up the generic timer a bit and moves most of the
register juggling from the ISA code into a separate class in the same
source file as the rest of the generic timer. It also removes the
assumption that there is always 8 or fewer CPUs in the system. Instead
of having a fixed limit, we now instantiate per-core timers as they
are requested. This is all in preparation for other patches that add
support for virtual timers and a memory mapped interface.

arm: Add support for ARMv8 (AArch64 & AArch32)

Note: AArch64 and AArch32 interworking is not supported. If you use an AArch64
kernel you are restricted to AArch64 user-mode binaries. This will be addressed
in a later patch.

Note: Virtualization is only supported in AArch32 mode. This will also be fixed
in a later patch.
