Use a function to obtain the integer number and use constants
with the architected numbers. Replace std_match with a case
statement.
This also has the side effect of returning 0 instead of some
random previous result on mfspr of an unknown SPR.

This flips the arbiter muxes on the same cycle as a new request
comes in, thus avoiding a cycle latency.

Consecutive accesses from the same master shouldn't need an IDLE
cycle. Completely remove the IDLE state and switch master when
the bus is idle, but stay on the last selected one between cycles.

Stores only need a single cycle, so we can ack them early if there
isn't an older ack already in the pipeline

This replaces the simple_ram_behavioural and mw_soc_memory modules
with a common wishbone_bram_wrapper.vhdl that interfaces the
pipelined WB with a lower-level RAM module, along with an FPGA
and a sim variants of the latter.

This adds an output buffer to help with timing and allows the BRAMs
to actually pipeline.

Vivado by default tries to flatten the module hierarchy to improve
placement and timing. However this makes debugging timing issues
really hard as the net names in the timing report can be pretty
bogus.
This adds a generic that can be used to control attributes to stop
vivado from flattening the main core components. The resulting design
will have worst timing overall but it will be easier to understand
what the worst timing path are and address them.

The CR update currently depends on the complete data formatting
mux chain. This makes it source its inputs from a bit earlier in
the chian, thus improving timing a bit

This doesn't yet pipeline the block RAM, just generate a valid stall
signal so it's compatible with a pipelined master
Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
The generic PIPELINE_DEPTH can be set to 0 to keep it operating
as a non-pipelined slave, or a larger value indicating
the amount of extra cycles between requests and acks.
It will always generate a valid stall signal, so it can be used
in either mode with a pipelined master (but only in non-pipelined
mode with a non-pipelined master).

For now ... it reduces the routing pressure on the FPGA
This needs manual adjustment of the address decoder in soc.vhdl, at
least until I can figure out how to deal with std_match

We don't yet have a proper snooper for the icache, so for now make
icbi just flush the whole thing

The instruction works by redirecting fetch to nia+4 (hopefully using
the same adder used to generate LR) and doing a backflush. Along with
being single issue, this should guarantee that the next instruction
only gets fetched after the pipe's been emptied.

We used the variable "way" in the wrong state in the cache when
updating a line valid bit after the end of the wishbone transactions,
we need to use the latched "store_way".

Adding lines seems to add only little extra as the BRAMs aren't
full, 2 ways is our current comprimise to limit pressure on small
FPGAs. We could go to 64 lines for a little more, but timing is
becoming a bit too right to my linking on the tags/LRU path of
the icache, so let's leave it at 32 for now.

This makes the BRAMs use an output buffer, introducing an extra
cycle latency. Without this, Vivado won't make timing at 100Mhz.
We stash all the necessary response data in delayed latches, the
extra cycle is NOT a state in the state machine, thus it's fully
pipelined and doesn't involve stalling.
This introduces an extra non-pipelined cycle for loads with update
to avoid collision on the writeback output between the now delayed
load data and the register update. We could avoid it by moving
the register update in the pipeline bubble created by the extra
update state, but it's a bit trickier, so I leave that for a latter
optimization.

This replaces loadstore2 with a dcache
The dcache unit is losely based on the icache one (same basic cache
layout), but has some significant logic additions to deal with stores,
loads with update, non-cachable accesses and other differences due to
operating in the execution part of the pipeline rather than the fetch
part.
The cache is store-through, though a hit with an existing line will
update the line rather than invalidate it.
