arch-arm, cpu: fix ARM ubsan build on GCC 7.4.0

In src/cpu/reg_class.hh, numPinnedWrites was unset because the
constructors were not well factored out.

cpu-o3: Add support for pinned writes

This patch adds support for pinning registers for a certain number of
consecutive writes. This is only relevant for timing CPU models
(functional-only models are unaffected), and it is primarily needed to
provide a realistic execution model for micro-coded operations whose
microops can write to non-overlapping portions of a destination
register, e.g. vector gather loads. In those cases, this mechanism
can disable renaming for a sequence of consecutive writes, thus making
the resulting execution more efficient: allocating a new physical
register for each microop would introduce a read-modify-write chain of
dependencies, while with these modifications the microops can write
back in parallel.

Please note that this new feature is only leveraged by O3CPU for the
time being.

cpu: Refactor of Physical Register implementation

The implementation of the PhyRegId class is shared between multiple
cpu models. The o3/misc.hh should only be included in o3 models.

This patch removes the dependencies between different model
implementations, allowing to add new O3-like CPU model.

arch,cpu: Add vector predicate registers

Latest-gen. vector/SIMD extensions, including the Arm Scalable Vector
Extension (SVE), introduce the notion of a predicate register file.
This changeset adds this feature across architectures and CPU models.

Fix SConstruct for asan build

Sometimes it's easier to debug gem5 built with ASan enabled. This CL fixes
some build error when using --with-asan.

cpu: Removed unnecessary file reg_class_impl.hh

Previously, reg_class_impl.hh was added in order to prevent a cyclic
dependency between it and the_isa.hh (See
http://reviews.gem5.org/r/3754). It was determined that this was not
necessary. The two files had almost entirely the same includes, and the
current test-suite including multiple gcc and clang compilers on both
MacOS and Linux successfully built the library with all functionality
moved into the reg_class.hh file.

cpu: Added interface for vector reg file

This patch adds some more functionality to the cpu model and the arch to
interface with the vector register file.

This change consists mainly of augmenting ThreadContexts and ExecContexts
with calls to get/set full vectors, underlying microarchitectural elements
or lanes. Those are meant to interface with the vector register file. All
classes that implement this interface also get an appropriate implementation.

This requires implementing the vector register file for the different
models using the VecRegContainer class.

This change set also updates the Result abstraction to contemplate the
possibility of having a vector as result.

The changes also affect how the remote_gdb connection works.

There are some (nasty) side effects, such as the need to define dummy
numPhysVecRegs parameter values for architectures that do not implement
vector extensions.

Nathanael Premillieu's work with an increasing number of fixes and
improvements of mine.

cpu: Simplify the rename interface and use RegId

With the hierarchical RegId there are a lot of functions that are
redundant now.

The idea behind the simplification is that instead of having the regId,
telling which kind of register read/write/rename/lookup/etc. and then
the function panic_if'ing if the regId is not of the appropriate type,
we provide an interface that decides what kind of register to read
depending on the register type of the given regId.

arch, cpu: Architectural Register structural indexing

Replace the unified register mapping with a structure associating
a class and an index. It is now much easier to know which class of
register the index is referring to. Also, when adding a new class
there is no need to modify existing ones.

cpu: implements vector registers

This adds a vector register type. The type is defined as a std::array of a
fixed number of uint64_ts. The isa_parser.py has been modified to parse vector
register operands and generate the required code. Different cpus have vector
register files now.

cpu: clean up architectural register classification

enum for the register classes and a function that
encapsulates the mapping.
