arch-arm: adding register control flags enabling LSE implementation

Added changes on arch-arm architecture to accept Atomic instructions
following ARM v8.1 documentation. That includes enabling atomic bit
in ID registers and add have_lse variable into arm system.

arch-arm: Implement ARMv8.1-PAN, Privileged access never

ARMv8.1-PAN adds a new bit to PSTATE. When the value of this PAN state
bit is 1, any privileged data access from EL1 or EL2 to a virtual memory
address that is accessible at EL0 generates a Permission fault.
This feature is mandatory in ARMv8.1 implementations.
This feature is supported in AArch64 and AArch32 states.
The ID_AA64MMFR1_EL1.PAN, ID_MMFR3_EL1.PAN, and ID_MMFR3.PAN fields
identify the support for ARMv8.1-PAN.

arch-arm: Deprecate usage of legacy bootloader patching

This patch is implicitly deprecating the usage of bootloader patching,
which is injecting instructions from gem5 into the bootloader
binary. This was probably meant to provide a dynamic bootloader
entry point.
This is not needed in ARMv8.0, since we can simply update the
ArmSystem::resetAddress with the bootloader entry point.

arch-arm: ArmSystem::resetAddr64 renamed to be used in AArch32

ARMv8 differs from ARMv7 with the presence of RVBAR register, which
contains the implementation defined reset address when EL3 is not
implemented.
The entry 0x0 in the AArch32 vector table, once used for the Reset
Vector, is now marked as "Not used", stating that it is now IMPLEMENTATION
DEFINED. An implementation might still use this vector table entry to
hold the Reset vector, but having a Reset address != than the general
vector table (for any other exception) is allowed.

At the moment any Reset exception is still using 0 as a vector table
base address. This patch is extending the ArmSystem::resetAddr64 to
ArmSystem::resetAddr so that it can be used for initializing
MVBAR/RVBAR. In order to do so, we are providing a specialized behavior
for the Reset exception when evaluating the vector base address.

intercepts accesses in the 64KiB region designated by the
ArmTLB.m5ops_base parameter. An access to this range maps to a
specific m5op call. The upper 8 bits of the offset into the range
denote the m5op function to call and the lower 8 bits denote the
subfunction.

arm: Add support for automatic boot loader selection

Add support for automatically selecting a boot loader that matches the
guest system's kernel. Instead of accepting a single boot loader, the
ArmSystem class now accepts a vector of boot loaders. When
initializing a system, the we now look for the first boot loader with
an architecture that matches the kernel.

This changeset makes it possible to use the same system for both
64-bit and 32-bit kernels.

arm: Get rid of pointless have_generic_timer param

The ArmSystem class has a parameter to indicate whether it is
configured to use the generic timer extension or not. This parameter
doesn't affect any feature flags in the current implementation and is
therefore completely unnecessary. In fact, we usually don't set it
even if a system has a generic timer. If we ever need to check if
there is a generic timer present, we should just request a pointer and
check if it is non-null instead.

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: Fixes based on UBSan and static analysis

Another churn to clean up undefined behaviour, mostly ARM, but some
parts also touching the generic part of the code base.

Most of the fixes are simply ensuring that proper intialisation. One
of the more subtle changes is the return type of the sign-extension,
which is changed to uint64_t. This is to avoid shifting negative
values (undefined behaviour) in the ISA code.

processor MP capable system, but you can't have a multi-processor
UP only system. This change also fixes the initialization of the MIDR
register.

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.

System: Move code in initState() back into constructor whenever possible.

The change to port proxies recently moved code out of the constructor into
initState(). This is needed for code that loads data into memory, however
for code that setups symbol tables, kernel based events, etc this is the wrong
thing to do as that code is only called when a checkpoint isn't being restored
from.

MEM: Make port proxies use references rather than pointers

This patch is adding a clearer design intent to all objects that would
not be complete without a port proxy by making the proxies members
rathen than dynamically allocated. In essence, if NULL would not be a
valid value for the proxy, then we avoid using a pointer to make this
clear.

The same approach is used for the methods using these proxies, such as
loadSections, that now use references rather than pointers to better
reflect the fact that NULL would not be an acceptable value (in fact
the code would break and that is how this patch started out).

Overall the concept of "using a reference to express unconditional
composition where a NULL pointer is never valid" could be done on a
much broader scale throughout the code base, but for now it is only
done in the locations affected by the proxies.


# 8706:b1838faf3bcc 17-Jan-2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

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
