mem: Update DRAM configuration names
Names of DRAM configurations were updated to reflect both the channel and device data width.
Previous naming format was: <DEVICE_TYPE>_<DATA_RATE>_<CHANNEL_WIDTH>
The following nomenclature is now used: <DEVICE_TYPE>_<DATA_RATE>_<n>x<w> where n = The number of devices per rank on the channel x = Device width
Total channel width can be calculated by n*w
Example: A 64-bit DDR4, 2400 channel consisting of 4-bit devices: n = 16 w = 4 The resulting configuration name is: DDR4_2400_16x4
Updated scripts to match new naming convention.
Added unique configurations for DDR4 for: 1) 16x4 2) 8x8 3) 4x16

config: Add a BaseSESystem builder for re-use in regressions
This patch extends the existing system builders to also include a syscall-emulation builder. This builder is deployed in all syscall-emulation regressions that do not involve Ruby, i.e. o3-timing, simple-timing and simple-atomic, as well as the multi-processor regressions o3-timing-mp, simple-timing-mp and simple-atomic-mp (the latter are only used by SPARC at this point).
The values chosen for the cache sizes match those that were used in the existing config scripts (despite being on the large side). Similarly, a mem_class parameter is added to the builder base class to enable simple-atomic to use SimpleMemory and o3-timing to use the default DDR3 configuration.
Due to the different order the ports are connected, the bus stats get shuffled around for the multi-processor regressions. A separate patch bumps the port indices. Besides this, all behaviour is exactly the same.

config: Add a system clock command-line option
This patch adds a 'sys_clock' command-line option and use it to assign clocks to the system during instantiation.
As part of this change, the default clock in the System class is removed and whenever a system is instantiated a system clock value must be set. A default value is provided for the command-line option.
The configs and tests are updated accordingly.

mem: More descriptive DRAM config names
This patch changes the class names of the variuos DRAM configurations to better reflect what memory they are based on. The speed and interface width is now part of the name, and also the alias that is used to select them on the command line.
Some minor changes are done to the actual parameters, to better reflect the named configurations. As a result of these changes the regressions change slightly and the stats will be bumped in a separate patch.

mem: Add DDR3 and LPDDR2 DRAM controller configurations
This patch moves the default DRAM parameters from the SimpleDRAM class to two different subclasses, one for DDR3 and one for LPDDR2. More can be added as we go forward.
The regressions that previously used the SimpleDRAM are now using SimpleDDR3 as this is the most similar configuration.

tests: Always specify memory mode in every test system.
Previous to this change we didn't always set the memory mode which worked as long as we never attempted to switch CPUs or checked that a CPU was in a memory system with the correct mode. Future changes will make CPUs verify that they're operating in the correct mode and thus we need to always set it.

config: Use SimpleDRAM in full-system, and with o3 and inorder
This patch favours using SimpleDRAM with the default timing instead of SimpleMemory for all regressions that involve the o3 or inorder CPU, or are full system (in other words, where the actual performance of the memory is important for the overall performance).
Moving forward, the solution for FSConfig and the users of fs.py and se.py is probably something similar to what we use to choose the CPU type. I envision a few pre-set configurations SimpleLPDDR2, SimpleDDR3, etc that can be choosen by a dram_type option. Feedback on this part is welcome.
This patch changes plenty stats and adds all the DRAM controller related stats. A follow-on patch updates the relevant statistics. The total run-time for the entire regression goes up with ~5% with this patch due to the added complexity of the SimpleDRAM model. This is a concious trade-off to ensure that the model is properly tested.

config: Use shared cache config for regressions
This patch uses the common L1, L2 and IOCache configuration for the regressions that all share the same cache parameters. There are a few regressions that use a slightly different configuration (memtest, o3-timing=mp, simple-atomic-mp and simple-timing-mp), and the latter are not changed in this patch. They will be updated in a future patch.
The common cache configurations are changed to match the ones used in the regressions, and are slightly changed with respect to what they were. Hopefully this means we can converge on a common base configuration, used both in the normal user configurations and regressions.
As only regressions that shared the same cache configuration are updated, no regressions are affected.

Mem: Use cycles to express cache-related latencies
This patch changes the cache-related latencies from an absolute time expressed in Ticks, to a number of cycles that can be scaled with the clock period of the caches. Ultimately this patch serves to enable future work that involves dynamic frequency scaling. As an immediate benefit it also makes it more convenient to specify cache performance without implicitly assuming a specific CPU core operating frequency.
The stat blocked_cycles that actually counter in ticks is now updated to count in cycles.
As the timing is now rounded to the clock edges of the cache, there are some regressions that change. Plenty of them have very minor changes, whereas some regressions with a short run-time are perturbed quite significantly. A follow-on patch updates all the statistics for the regressions.

Bus: Split the bus into a non-coherent and coherent bus
This patch introduces a class hierarchy of buses, a non-coherent one, and a coherent one, splitting the existing bus functionality. By doing so it also enables further specialisation of the two types of buses.
A non-coherent bus connects a number of non-snooping masters and slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the address. The request packets issued by the master connected to a non-coherent bus could still snoop in caches attached to a coherent bus, as is the case with the I/O bus and memory bus in most system configurations. No snoops will, however, reach any master on the non-coherent bus itself. The non-coherent bus can be used as a template for modelling PCI, PCIe, and non-coherent AMBA and OCP buses, and is typically used for the I/O buses.
A coherent bus connects a number of (potentially) snooping masters and slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the address, and also forwards all requests to the snoopers and deals with the snoop responses. The coherent bus can be used as a template for modelling QPI, HyperTransport, ACE and coherent OCP buses, and is typically used for the L1-to-L2 buses and as the main system interconnect.
The configuration scripts are updated to use a NoncoherentBus for all peripheral and I/O buses.
A bit of minor tidying up has also been done.

MEM: Enable multiple distributed generalized memories
This patch removes the assumption on having on single instance of PhysicalMemory, and enables a distributed memory where the individual memories in the system are each responsible for a single contiguous address range.
All memories inherit from an AbstractMemory that encompasses the basic behaviuor of a random access memory, and provides untimed access methods. What was previously called PhysicalMemory is now SimpleMemory, and a subclass of AbstractMemory. All future types of memory controllers should inherit from AbstractMemory.
To enable e.g. the atomic CPU and RubyPort to access the now distributed memory, the system has a wrapper class, called PhysicalMemory that is aware of all the memories in the system and their associated address ranges. This class thus acts as an infinitely-fast bus and performs address decoding for these "shortcut" accesses. Each memory can specify that it should not be part of the global address map (used e.g. by the functional memories by some testers). Moreover, each memory can be configured to be reported to the OS configuration table, useful for populating ATAG structures, and any potential ACPI tables.
Checkpointing support currently assumes that all memories have the same size and organisation when creating and resuming from the checkpoint. A future patch will enable a more flexible re-organisation.

CPU: Check that the interrupt controller is created when needed
This patch adds a creation-time check to the CPU to ensure that the interrupt controller is created for the cases where it is needed, i.e. if the CPU is not being switched in later and not a checker CPU.
The patch also adds the "createInterruptController" call to a number of the regression scripts.

MEM: Introduce the master/slave port roles in the Python classes
This patch classifies all ports in Python as either Master or Slave and enforces a binding of master to slave. Conceptually, a master (such as a CPU or DMA port) issues requests, and receives responses, and conversely, a slave (such as a memory or a PIO device) receives requests and sends back responses. Currently there is no differentiation between coherent and non-coherent masters and slaves.
The classification as master/slave also involves splitting the dual role port of the bus into a master and slave port and updating all the system assembly scripts to use the appropriate port. Similarly, the interrupt devices have to have their int_port split into a master and slave port. The intdev and its children have minimal changes to facilitate the extra port.
Note that this patch does not enforce any port typing in the C++ world, it merely ensures that the Python objects have a notion of the port roles and are connected in an appropriate manner. This check is carried when two ports are connected, e.g. bus.master = memory.port. The following patches will make use of the classifications and specialise the C++ ports into masters and slaves.

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

Mem: Fix issue with dirty block being lost when entire block transferred to non-cache.
This change fixes the problem for all the cases we actively use. If you want to try more creative I/O device attachments (E.g. sharing an L2), this won't work. You would need another level of caching between the I/O device and the cache (which you actually need anyway with our current code to make sure writes propagate). This is required so that you can mark the cache in between as top level and it won't try to send ownership of a block to the I/O device. Asserts have been added that should catch any issues.

This makes sure that the address ranges requested for caches and uncached ports don't conflict with each other, and that accesses which are always uncached (message signaled interrupts for instance) don't waste time passing through caches.

cache: Make caches sharing aware and add occupancy stats. On the config end, if a shared L2 is created for the system, it is parameterized to have n sharers as defined by option.num_cpus. In addition to making the cache sharing aware so that discriminating tag policies can make use of context_ids to make decisions, I added an occupancy AverageStat and an occ % stat to each cache so that you could know which contexts are occupying how much cache on average, both in terms of blocks and percentage. Note that since devices have context_id -1, having an array of occ stats that correspond to each context_id will break here, so in FS mode I add an extra bucket for device blocks. This bucket is explicitly not added in SE mode in order to not only avoid ugliness in the stats.txt file, but to avoid broken stats (some formulas break when a bucket is 0).
