kern, arm: Dump dmesg on kernel panic/oops

Add helper functions to dump the guest kernel's dmesg buffer to a text
file in m5out. This functionality is split into two parts. First, a
dmesg dump function that can be used in other places:

void Linux::dumpDmesg(ThreadContext *, std::ostream &)

This function is used to implement two PCEvents: DmesgDumpEvent and
KernelPanic event. The only difference between the two is that the
latter produces a gem5 panic instead of a warning in addition to
dumping the kernel log.

sim: Don't quiesce UDelayEvents with 0 latency

ARM uses UDelayEvents to emulate kernel __*udelay functions and speed up
simulation. UDelayEvents call Pseudoinst::quiesceNs to quiesce the system for
a specified delay. Changeset 10341:0b4d10f53c2d introduced the requirement
that any quiesce process that is started must also be completed by scheduling
an EndQuiesceEvent. This change causes the CPU to hang if an IsQuiesce
instruction is executed, but the corresponding EndQuiesceEvent is not
scheduled.

Changeset 11058:d0934b57735a introduces a fix for uses of PseudoInst::quiesce*
that would conditionally execute the EndQuiesceEvent. ARM UDelayEvents specify
quiesce period of 0 ns (src/arch/arm/linux/system.cc), so changeset 11058
causes these events to now execute full quiesce processes, greatly increasing
the total instructions executed in kernel delay loops and slowing simulation.

This patch updates the UDelayEvent to conditionally execute
PseudoInst::quiesceNs (**a quiesce operation**) only if the specified
delay is >0 ns. The result is ARM delay loops no longer execute instructions
for quiesce handling, and regression time returns to normal.

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

ARM: Fix multiplication error in udelay

ARM: Detect and skip udelay() functions in linux kernel.

This change speeds up booting, especially in MP cases, by not executing
udelay() on the core but instead skipping ahead tha amount of time that is being
delayed.

style: fix sorting of includes and whitespace in some files


# 4826:259b996a6da6 01-Aug-2007 Ali Saidi <saidi@eecs.umich.edu>

Arguments: Get rid of duplicate code for the Arguments class in each architecture.
Move the argument files to src/sim and add a utility.cc file with a function
getArguments() that returns the given argument in the architecture specific fashion.
getArguments() was getArg() is the architecture specific Argument class and has had
all magic numbers replaced with meaningful constants. Also add a function to the
Argument class for testing if an argument is NULL.

change the way dprintf works so the cache accesses required to fulfill the dprintf aren't show in between the Cycle: name:
printing and the actual formatted string being printed


# 4424:9034cc0615be 30-Apr-2007 Ali Saidi <saidi@eecs.umich.edu>

always skip the debugprintf function (DebugPrintf traceflag shouldn't matter). Otherwise, when you turn on debugprintf alters the execution

Change ExecContext to ThreadContext. This is being renamed to differentiate between the interface used objects outside of the CPU, and the interface used by the ISA. ThreadContext is used by objects outside of the CPU and is specifically defined in thread_context.hh. ExecContext is more implicit, and is defined by files such as base_dyn_inst.hh or cpu/simple/base.hh.

Further renames/reorganization will be coming shortly; what is currently CPUExecContext (the old ExecContext from m5) will be renamed to SimpleThread or something similar.

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.

SConstruct:
Update for new directory structure.
Modify to support build trees that are not subdirectories
of the source tree. See comment at top of file for
more details.
Regression tests are temporarily disabled.
