mem: Make PortProxy use a delegate for a sendFunctional function.

The only part of the MaserPort the PortProxy uses is the sendFunctional
function which is part of the functional protocol. Rather than require
a MasterPort which comes along with a lot of other mechanisms, this
change slightly adjusts the PortProxy to only require that function
through the use of a delegate. That allows lots of flexibility in how
the actual packet gets sent and what sends it.

In cases where code constructs a PortProxy and passes its constructor
an unbound MasterPort, the PortProxy will create a delegate to the
sendFunctional method on its own.

This should also make it easier for objects which don't have
traditional gem5 style ports, for instance systemc models, to implement
just the little bit of the protocol they need, rather than having to
stub out a whole port class, most of which will be ignored.

mem, arm: Replace the pointer type in PortProxy with void *.

The void * type is for pointers which point to an unknown type. We
should use that when handling anonymous buffers in the PortProxy
functions, instead of uint8_t * which points to bytes.

Importantly, C/C++ doesn't require you to do any casting to turn an
arbitrary pointer type into a void *. This will get rid of lots of
tedious, verbose casting throughout the code base.

mem, arm: Move some helper methods into the base PortProxy class.

These were originally in the SETranslatingPortProxy class, but they're
not specific to SE mode in any way and are an unnecessary divergence
between the SE and FS mode translating port proxies.

mem: Refactor port proxies to support secure accesses

The current physical port proxy doesn't know how to tag memory
accesses as secure. Refactor the class slightly to create a set of
methods (readBlobPhys, writeBlobPhys, memsetBlobPhys) that always
access physical memory and take a set of Request::Flags as an
argument. The new port proxy, SecurePortProxy, uses this interface to
issue secure physical accesses.

mem: Use const pointers for port proxy write functions

This patch changes the various write functions in the port proxies
to use const pointers for all sources (similar to how memcpy works).

The one unfortunate aspect is the need for a const_cast in the packet,
to avoid having to juggle a const and a non-const data pointer. This
design decision can always be re-evaluated at a later stage.

arch: Cleanup unused ISA traits constants

This patch prunes unused values, and also unifies how the values are
defined (not using an enum for ALPHA), aligning the use of int vs Addr
etc.

The patch also removes the duplication of PageBytes/PageShift and
VMPageSize/LogVMPageSize. For all ISAs the two pairs had identical
values and the latter has been removed.


# 9814:7ad2b0186a32 18-Jul-2013 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

mem: Set the cache line size on a system level

This patch removes the notion of a peer block size and instead sets
the cache line size on the system level.

Previously the size was set per cache, and communicated through the
interconnect. There were plenty checks to ensure that everyone had the
same size specified, and these checks are now removed. Another benefit
that is not yet harnessed is that the cache line size is now known at
construction time, rather than after the port binding. Hence, the
block size can be locally stored and does not have to be queried every
time it is used.

A follow-on patch updates the configuration scripts accordingly.

SETranslatingPortProxy: fix bug in tryReadString()

Off-by-one loop termination meant that we were stuffing
the terminating '\0' into the std::string value, which
makes for difficult-to-debug string comparison failures.


# 8922:17f037ad8918 30-Mar-2012 William Wang <william.wang@arm.com>

MEM: Introduce the master/slave port sub-classes in C++

This patch introduces the notion of a master and slave port in the C++
code, thus bringing the previous classification from the Python
classes into the corresponding simulation objects and memory objects.

The patch enables us to classify behaviours into the two bins and add
assumptions and enfore compliance, also simplifying the two
interfaces. As a starting point, isSnooping is confined to a master
port, and getAddrRanges to slave ports. More of these specilisations
are to come in later patches.

The getPort function is not getMasterPort and getSlavePort, and
returns a port reference rather than a pointer as NULL would never be
a valid return value. The default implementation of these two
functions is placed in MemObject, and calls fatal.

The one drawback with this specific patch is that it requires some
code duplication, e.g. QueuedPort becomes QueuedMasterPort and
QueuedSlavePort, and BusPort becomes BusMasterPort and BusSlavePort
(avoiding multiple inheritance). With the later introduction of the
port interfaces, moving the functionality outside the port itself, a
lot of the duplicated code will disappear again.

MEM: Make all the port proxy members const

This is a trivial patch that merely makes all the member functions of
the port proxies const. There is no good reason why they should not
be, and this change only serves to make it explicit that they are not
modified through their use.

MEM: Add port proxies instead of non-structural ports

Port proxies are used to replace non-structural ports, and thus enable
all ports in the system to correspond to a structural entity. This has
the advantage of accessing memory through the normal memory subsystem
and thus allowing any constellation of distributed memories, address
maps, etc. Most accesses are done through the "system port" that is
used for loading binaries, debugging etc. For the entities that belong
to the CPU, e.g. threads and thread contexts, they wrap the CPU data
port in a port proxy.

The following replacements are made:
FunctionalPort > PortProxy
TranslatingPort > SETranslatingPortProxy
VirtualPort > FSTranslatingPortProxy
