ruby: Fix the way stall map size is checked for availability
To ensure that enqueuer observes the practical availability. We check the message buffer queue size at the start of the cycle. We also add the size of the stall queue to consider the total queue size. However, messages can be moved from regular queue to stall map. This leads to messages being considered twice leading to false flow control. This patch fixes it by storing the stall map size at the beginning of the cycle and considering it for checking availability.

mem-ruby: Do not change blocked msg enqueue info
Updating the message counter and enqueue times when adding blocked messages back to the queue does not make a lot of sense since these messages are not new arrivals. More importantly, this may lead to starvation. See the scenario below:
1) Request A for a blocked line X arrives 2) A is handled; X is blocked so A is stalled 3) Request B for X arrives; Reponse for X arrives 4) Response is handled; X unblocked; A added back to the request queue 5) B is handled ahead of A (since A's arrival was updated); X may become blocked again
If new requests keep comming for X, A may will be stalled forever.

mem-ruby: Fix a bug in MessageBuffer randomization
In the previous implementation, messages are randomly inserted with delays only if both RubySystem and MessageBuffer randomization flags are set true. However, to find race conditions and cover more slicc transitions, ruby random testers rely on setting RubySystem flag to turn on randomization on all message buffers. As a fix, this patch enables a message buffer to have randomization when either RubySystem or its own flag is set.

ruby: Check MessageBuffer space in garnet NetworkInterface
Garnet's NetworkInterface does not consider the size of MessageBuffers when ejecting a Message from the network. Add a size check for the MessageBuffer and only enqueue if space is available. If space is not available, the message if placed in a queue and the credit is held. A callback from the MessageBuffer is implemented to wake the NetworkInterface. If there are messages in the stalled queue, they are processed first, in a FIFO manner and if succesfully ejected, the credit is finally sent back upstream. The maximum size of the stall queue is equal to the number of valid VNETs with MessageBuffers attached.

ruby: Add occupancy stats to MessageBuffers
This patch is an updated version of /r/3297.
"The most important statistic for measuring memory hierarchy performance is throughput, which is affected by independent variables, buffer sizing and communication latency. It is difficult/impossible to debug performance issues through series buffers without knowing which are the bottlenecks. For finite buffers, this patch adds statistics for the average number of messages in the buffer, the occupancy of the buffer slots, and number of message stalls."

ruby: Make MessageBuffers actually finite sized
When Ruby controllers stall messages in MessageBuffers, the buffer moves those messages off the priority heap and into a per-address stall map. When buffers are finite-sized, the test areNSlotsAvailable() only checks the size of the priority heap, but ignores the stall map, so the map is allowed to grow unbounded if the controller stalls numerous messages. This patch fixes the problem by tracking the stall map size and testing the total number of messages in the buffer appropriately.

ruby: print addresses in hex Changeset 4872dbdea907 replaced Address by Addr, but did not make changes to print statements. So the addresses which were being printed in hex earlier along with their line address, were now being printed in decimals. This patch adds a function printAddress(Addr) that can be used to print the address in hex along with the lines address. This function has been put to use in some of the places. At other places, change has been made to print just the address in hex.

ruby: message buffer, timer table: significant changes
This patch changes MessageBuffer and TimerTable, two structures used for buffering messages by components in ruby. These structures would no longer maintain pointers to clock objects. Functions in these structures have been changed to take as input current time in Tick. Similarly, these structures will not operate on Cycle valued latencies for different operations. The corresponding functions would need to be provided with these latencies by components invoking the relevant functions. These latencies should also be in Ticks.
I felt the need for these changes while trying to speed up ruby. The ultimate aim is to eliminate Consumer class and replace it with an EventManager object in the MessageBuffer and TimerTable classes. This object would be used for scheduling events. The event itself would contain information on the object and function to be invoked.
In hindsight, it seems I should have done this while I was moving away from use of a single global clock in the memory system. That change led to introduction of clock objects that replaced the global clock object. It never crossed my mind that having clock object pointers is not a good design. And now I really don't like the fact that we have separate consumer, receiver and sender pointers in message buffers.

ruby: rename System.{hh,cc} to RubySystem.{hh,cc}
The eventual aim of this change is to pass RubySystem pointers through to objects generated from the SLICC protocol code.
Because some of these objects need to dereference their RubySystem pointers, they need access to the System.hh header file.
In src/mem/ruby/SConscript, the MakeInclude function creates single-line header files in the build directory that do nothing except include the corresponding header file from the source tree.
However, SLICC also generates a list of header files from its symbol table, and writes it to mem/protocol/Types.hh in the build directory. This code assumes that the header file name is the same as the class name.
The end result of this is the many of the generated slicc files try to include RubySystem.hh, when the file they really need is System.hh. The path of least resistence is just to rename System.hh to RubySystem.hh.

ruby: Expose MessageBuffers as SimObjects
Expose MessageBuffers from SLICC controllers as SimObjects that can be manipulated in Python. This patch has numerous benefits: 1) First and foremost, it exposes MessageBuffers as SimObjects that can be manipulated in Python code. This allows parameters to be set and checked in Python code to avoid obfuscating parameters within protocol files. Further, now as SimObjects, MessageBuffer parameters are printed to config output files as a way to track parameters across simulations (e.g. buffer sizes)
2) Cleans up special-case code for responseFromMemory buffers, and aligns their instantiation and use with mandatoryQueue buffers. These two special buffers are the only MessageBuffers that are exposed to components outside of SLICC controllers, and they're both slave ends of these buffers. They should be exposed outside of SLICC in the same way, and this patch does it.
3) Distinguishes buffer-specific parameters from buffer-to-network parameters. Specifically, buffer size, randomization, ordering, recycle latency, and ports are all specific to a MessageBuffer, while the virtual network ID and type are intrinsics of how the buffer is connected to network ports. The former are specified in the Python object, while the latter are specified in the controller *.sm files. Unlike buffer-specific parameters, which may need to change depending on the simulated system structure, buffer-to-network parameters can be specified statically for most or all different simulated systems.

ruby: replace global g_system_ptr with per-object pointers
This is another step in the process of removing global variables from Ruby to enable multiple RubySystem instances in a single simulation.
With possibly multiple RubySystem objects, we can no longer use a global variable to find "the" RubySystem object. Instead, each Ruby component has to carry a pointer to the RubySystem object to which it belongs.

ruby: Fix RubySystem warm-up and cool-down scope
The processes of warming up and cooling down Ruby caches are simulation-wide processes, not just RubySystem instance-specific processes. Thus, the warm-up and cool-down variables should be globally visible to any Ruby components participating in either process. Make these variables static members and track the warm-up and cool-down processes as appropriate.
This patch also has two side benefits: 1) It removes references to the RubySystem g_system_ptr, which are problematic for allowing multiple RubySystem instances in a single simulation. Warmup and cooldown variables being static (global) reduces the need for instance-specific dereferences through the RubySystem. 2) From the AbstractController, it removes local RubySystem pointers, which are used inconsistently with other uses of the RubySystem: 11 other uses reference the RubySystem with the g_system_ptr. Only sequencers have local pointers.

ruby: interface with classic memory controller This patch is the final in the series. The whole series and this patch in particular were written with the aim of interfacing ruby's directory controller with the memory controller in the classic memory system. This is being done since ruby's memory controller has not being kept up to date with the changes going on in DRAMs. Classic's memory controller is more up to date and supports multiple different types of DRAM. This also brings classic and ruby ever more close. The patch also changes ruby's memory controller to expose the same interface.

base: Use the global Mersenne twister throughout
This patch tidies up random number generation to ensure that it is done consistently throughout the code base. In essence this involves a clean-up of Ruby, and some code simplifications in the traffic generator.
As part of this patch a bunch of skewed distributions (off-by-one etc) have been fixed.
Note that a single global random number generator is used, and that the object instantiation order will impact the behaviour (the sequence of numbers will be unaffected, but if module A calles random before module B then they would obviously see a different outcome). The dependency on the instantiation order is true in any case due to the execution-model of gem5, so we leave it as is. Also note that the global ranom generator is not thread safe at this point.
Regressions using the memtest, TrafficGen or any Ruby tester are affected and will be updated accordingly.

ruby: move files from ruby/system to ruby/structures
The directory ruby/system is crowded and unorganized. Hence, the files the hold actual physical structures, are being moved to the directory ruby/structures. This includes Cache Memory, Directory Memory, Memory Controller, Wire Buffer, TBE Table, Perfect Cache Memory, Timer Table, Bank Array.
The directory ruby/systems has the glue code that holds these structures together.
