/**
 * The trace cpu replays traces generated using the elastic trace probe
 * attached to the O3 CPU model. The elastic trace is an execution trace with
 * register data dependencies and ordering dependencies annotated to it. The
 * trace cpu also replays a fixed timestamp fetch trace that is also generated
 * by the elastic trace probe. This trace cpu model aims at achieving faster
 * simulation compared to the detailed cpu model and good correlation when the
 * same trace is used for playback on different memory sub-systems.
 *
 * The TraceCPU inherits from BaseCPU so some virtual methods need to be
 * defined. It has two port subclasses inherited from MasterPort for
 * instruction and data ports. It issues the memory requests deducing the
 * timing from the trace and without performing real execution of micro-ops. As
 * soon as the last dependency for an instruction is complete, its
 * computational delay, also provided in the input trace is added. The
 * dependency-free nodes are maintained in a list, called 'ReadyList', ordered
 * by ready time. Instructions which depend on load stall until the responses
 * for read requests are received thus achieving elastic replay. If the
 * dependency is not found when adding a new node, it is assumed complete.
 * Thus, if this node is found to be completely dependency-free its issue time
 * is calculated and it is added to the ready list immediately. This is
 * encapsulated in the subclass ElasticDataGen.
 *
 * If ready nodes are issued in an unconstrained way there can be more nodes
 * outstanding which results in divergence in timing compared to the O3CPU.
 * Therefore, the Trace CPU also models hardware resources. A sub-class to
 * model hardware resources contains the maximum sizes of load buffer, store
 * buffer and ROB. If resources are not available, the node is not issued. Such
 * nodes that are pending issue are held in the 'depFreeQueue' structure.
 *
 * Modeling the ROB size in the Trace CPU as a resource limitation is arguably
 * the most important parameter of all resources. The ROB occupancy is
 * estimated using the newly added field 'robNum'. We need to use ROB number as
 * sequence number is at times much higher due to squashing and trace replay is
 * focused on correct path modeling.
 *
 * A map called 'inFlightNodes' is added to track nodes that are not only in
 * the readyList but also load nodes that are executed (and thus removed from
 * readyList) but are not complete. ReadyList handles what and when to execute
 * next node while the inFlightNodes is used for resource modelling. The oldest
 * ROB number is updated when any node occupies the ROB or when an entry in the
 * ROB is released. The ROB occupancy is equal to the difference in the ROB
 * number of the newly dependency-free node and the oldest ROB number in
 * flight.
 *
 * If no node depends on a non load/store node then there is no reason to
 * track it in the dependency graph. We filter out such nodes but count them
 * and add a weight field to the subsequent node that we do include in the
 * trace. The weight field is used to model ROB occupancy during replay.
 *
 * The depFreeQueue is chosen to be FIFO so that child nodes which are in
 * program order get pushed into it in that order and thus issued in program
 * order, like in the O3CPU. This is also why the dependents is made a
 * sequential container, std::set to std::vector. We only check head of the
 * depFreeQueue as nodes are issued in order and blocking on head models that
 * better than looping the entire queue. An alternative choice would be to
 * inspect top N pending nodes where N is the issue-width. This is left for
 * future as the timing correlation looks good as it is.
 *
 * At the start of an execution event, first we attempt to issue such pending
 * nodes by checking if appropriate resources have become available. If yes, we
 * compute the execute tick with respect to the time then. Then we proceed to
 * complete nodes from the readyList.
 *
 * When a read response is received, sometimes a dependency on it that was
 * supposed to be released when it was issued is still not released. This
 * occurs because the dependent gets added to the graph after the read was
 * sent. So the check is made less strict and the dependency is marked complete
 * on read response instead of insisting that it should have been removed on
 * read sent.
 *
 * There is a check for requests spanning two cache lines as this condition
 * triggers an assert fail in the L1 cache. If it does then truncate the size
 * to access only until the end of that line and ignore the remainder.
 * Strictly-ordered requests are skipped and the dependencies on such requests
 * are handled by simply marking them complete immediately.
 *
 * The simulated seconds can be calculated as the difference between the
 * final_tick stat and the tickOffset stat. A CountedExitEvent that contains a
 * static int belonging to the Trace CPU class as a down counter is used to
 * implement multi Trace CPU simulation exit.
