This adds an 'is_signed' signal to MultiplyInputType to indicate
whether the data1 and data2 fields are to be interpreted as signed or
unsigned numbers.
The 'not_result' field is replaced by a 'subtract' field which
provides a more intuitive interface for requesting that the product be
subtracted from the addend rather than added, i.e. subtract = 1 gives
C - A * B, vs. subtract = 0 giving C + A * B. (Previously the users
of the multipliers got the same effect by complementing the addend and
setting not_result = 1.)
The is_32bit field is removed because it is no longer used now that we
have a separate 32-bit multiplier.

This adds a pipelined 33-bit by 33-bit signed multiplier with one
cycle latency to the execute pipeline, and uses it for the mullw,
mulhw and mulhwu instructions. Because it has one cycle of latency we
can assume that its result is available in the second execute stage
without needing to add busy logic to the second stage.
This adds both a generic version of the multiplier and a
Xilinx-specific version using four DSP slices of the Artix-7.

This expands the field in the log buffer that stores the instruction
fetched from the icache to 36 bits, so that we get the insn_code and
illegal instruction indication. To do this, we reclaim 3 unused bits
from execute1's portion and one other unused bit (previously just set
to 0 in core.vhdl).
This also alters the trigger behaviour to stop after one quarter of
the log buffer has been filled with samples after the trigger, or 256
entries, whichever is less. This is to ensure that the trigger event
doesn't get overwritten when the log buffer is small.
This updates fmt_log to the new log format. Valid instructions are
printed as a decimal insn_code value followed by the bottom 26 bits of
the instruction. Illegal instructions are printed as "ill" followed
by the full 32 bits of the instruction.

This fixes a bug which causes a trace interrupt to store the wrong
value in SRR0 in the case where the instruction that has just
completed is followed by a sc (system call) instruction. What happens
is that first the traced instruction sets ex1.trace_next. Then, when
the sc instruction following it comes in, the execute1_actions process
sets v.e.last_nia to next_nia because it is an sc instruction, even
though it is not going to be executed -- we are going to take the
trace interrupt instead. Then when the trace interrupt is taken, we
incorrectly set SRR0 to the incremented address (the address of the
instruction following the sc).
To fix this, we have execute1_actions set a new flag if the current
instruction is sc, and only set v.e.last_nia to next_nia if we
actually execute the sc (in the "if go = '1'" case).

This provides access to the SPRs via the JTAG DMI interface. For now

For XER, debug reads now report the full value, not just the bits that
were previously stored in the register file. The "slow" SPR mux is

By putting CTR on the odd side and LR and TAR on the even side, we can
read and write CTR for bdnz-style instructions in parallel with
reading LR or TAR for indirect branches and writing LR for branches
with LK=1. Thus we don't need to double up any of these instructions,
giving a simplification in decode2.
We now have logic for printing LR and CTR at the end of a simulation
in execute1, in addition to the similar logic in register_file and
cr_file.

This starts the process of removing SPRs from the register file by
moving SRR0/1, SPRG0-3, HSRR0/1 and HSPRG0/1 out of the register file
and putting them into execute1. They are stored in a pair of small
RAM arrays, referred to as "even" and "odd". The reason for having
two arrays is so that two values can be read and written in each
cycle. For example, SRR0 and SRR1 can be written in parallel by an
interrupt and read in parallel by the rfid instruction.
The addresses in the RAM which will be accessed are determined in the
decode2 stage. We have one write address for both sides, but two read
addresses, since in future we will want to be able to read CTR at the
same time as either LR or TAR.
We now have a connection from writeback to execute1 which carries the
partial SRR1 value for an interrupt. SRR0 comes from the execute
pipeline; we no longer need to carry instruction addresses along the
LSU and FPU pipelines. Since SRR0 and SRR1 can be written in the same
cycle now, we don't need the little state machine in writeback any
more.

This adds logic to the FPU to accomplish 64-bit integer divisions.
No instruction actually uses this yet.
The algorithm used is to obtain an estimate of the reciprocal of the
divisor using the lookup table and refine it by one to three
iterations of the Newton-Raphson algorithm (the number of iterations
depends on the number of significant bits in the dividend). Then the
reciprocal is multiplied by the dividend to get the quotient estimate.
The remainder is calculated as dividend - quotient * divisor. If the
remainder is greater than or equal to the divisor, the quotient is
incremented, or if a modulo operation is being done, the divisor is
subtracted from the remainder. The inverse estimate after refinement
is good enough that the quotient estimate is always equal to or one
less than the true quotient.

This provides a mechanism for tracking updates to the XER overflow
bits (SO, OV, OV32) and stalling instructions which need current
values of those bits (mfxer, integer compare instructions, integer
Rc=1 instructions, addex) or which writes carry bits (since all the
XER common bits are written together, if we are writing CA/CA32 we

This makes the FPU able to stall other units at execute stage 2 and be
stalled by other units (specifically the LSU).
This means that the completion and writeback for an instruction can
now end up being deferred until the second cycle of a following
instruction, i.e. the cycle when the state machine has gone through
IDLE state into one of the DO_* states, which means we need to latch
the destination FPR number, CR mask, etc. from the previous
instruction so that we present the correct information to writeback.
The advantage of this is that we can get rid of the in_progress signal
from the LSU.

Execute1 and loadstore1 now send each other stall signals that

move into stage 1 while a LSU instruction is in stage 2.

This adds a second execute stage to the pipeline, in order to match up
the length of the pipeline through loadstore and dcache with the
length through execute1. This will ultimately enable us to get rid of
the 1-cycle bubble that we currently have when issuing ALU
instructions after one or more LSU instructions.
Most ALU instructions execute in the first stage, except for
count-zeroes and popcount instructions (which take two cycles and do
some of their work in the second stage) and mfspr/mtspr to "slow" SPRs
(TB, DEC, PVR, LOGA/LOGD, CFAR). Multiply and divide/mod instructions
take several cycles but the instruction stays in the first stage (ex1)
and ex1.busy is asserted until the operation is complete.
There is currently a bypass from the first stage but not the second
stage. Performance is down somewhat because of that and because this
doesn't yet eliminate the bubble between LSU and ALU instructions.
The forwarding of XER common bits has been changed somewhat because
now there is another pipeline stage between ex1 and the committed
state in cr_file. The simplest thing for now is to record the last
value written and use that, unless there has been a flush, in which
case the committed state (obtained via e_in.xerc) is used.
Note that this fixes what was previously a benign bug in control.vhdl,
where it was possible for control to forget an instructions dependency
on a value from a previous instruction (a GPR or the CR) if this
instruction writes the value and the instruction gets to the point
where it could issue but is blocked by the busy signal from execute1.
In that situation, control may incorrectly not indicate that a bypass
should be used. That didn't matter previously because, for ALU and
FPU instructions, there was only one previous instruction in flight
and once the current instruction could issue, the previous instruction
was completing and the correct value would be obtained from
register_file or cr_file. For loadstore instructions there could be
two being executed, but because there are no bypass paths, failing to
indicate use of a bypass path is fine.

Besides the overflow and status carry bits, XER has 18 bits which need
to retain the value written by mtxer (in case software wants to
emulate the move-assist instructions (lswi, lswx, stswi, stswx).
Until now these bits (and others) have been stored in the GPR file as
a "fast" SPR, but this causes complications because XER is not really
a fast SPR.
Instead, we now store these 18 bits in the 'ctrl' signal, which exists
in execute1. This will enable us to simplify the data path in future,
and has the added bonus that with a little bit of plumbing, we can get
the full XER value printed when dumping registers at the end of a
simulation.

This adds an optional 16 bit x 16 bit signed multiplier and uses it
for multiply instructions that return the low 64 bits of the product

the range -2^15 .. 2^15 - 1. The "short" 16-bit multiplier produces
its result combinatorially, so a multiply that uses it executes in one

does quite a lot of multiplies and they almost all have operands that
fit into 16 bits.

execute1, SOC, core and top levels. For now, it defaults to off for
all platforms, and can be enabled using the --has_short_mult flag to

At present the logic prevents any interrupts from being handled while
there is a load/store instruction (one that has unit=LDST) being
executed. However, load/store instructions can still get sent to
loadstore1. Thus an instruction which should generate an interrupt
such as a floating-point unavailable interrupt will instead get
executed.
To fix this, when we detect that an interrupt should be generated but
loadstore1 is still executing a previous instruction, we don't execute
any new instructions, and set a new r.intr_pending flag. That results
in busy_out being asserted (meaning that no further instructions will
come in from decode2). When loadstore1 has finished the instructions
it has, the interrupt gets sent to writeback. If one of the
instructions in loadstore1 generates an interrupt in the meantime, the
l_in.interrupt signal gets asserted and that clears r.intr_pending, so
the interrupt we detected gets discarded.

The idea here is that we can have multiple instructions in progress at
the same time as long as they all go to the same unit, because that
unit will keep them in order. If we get an instruction for a
different unit, we wait for all the previous instructions to finish
before executing it. Since the loadstore unit is the only one that is
currently pipelined, this boils down to saying that loadstore
instructions can go ahead while l_in.in_progress = 1 but other
instructions have to wait until it is 0.
This gives a 2% increase on coremark performance on the Arty A7-100

This changes the way GPR hazards are detected and tracked. Instead of
having a model of the pipeline in gpr_hazard.vhdl, which has to mirror
the behaviour of the real pipeline exactly, we now assign a 2-bit tag
to each instruction and record which GSPR the instruction writes.
Subsequent instructions that need to use the GSPR get the tag number
and stall until the value with that tag is being written back to the
register file.
For now, the forwarding paths are disabled. That gives about a 8%
reduction in coremark performance.

This implements a cache in fetch1, where each entry stores the address
of a simple branch instruction (b or bc) and the target of the branch.
When fetching sequentially, if the address being fetched matches the
cache entry, then fetching will be redirected to the branch target.
The cache has 1024 entries and is direct-mapped, i.e. indexed by bits
11..2 of the NIA.
The bus from execute1 now carries information about taken and
not-taken simple branches, which fetch1 uses to update the cache.
The cache entry is updated for both taken and not-taken branches, with
the valid bit being set if the branch was taken and cleared if the
branch was not taken.
If fetching is redirected to the branch target then that goes down the
pipe as a predicted-taken branch, and decode1 does not do any static
branch prediction. If fetching is not redirected, then the next
instruction goes down the pipe as normal and decode1 does its static
branch prediction.
In order to make timing, the lookup of the cache is pipelined, so on
each cycle the cache entry for the current NIA + 8 is read. This
means that after a redirect (from decode1 or execute1), only the third
and subsequent sequentially-fetched instructions will be able to be
predicted.
This improves the coremark value on the Arty A7-100 from about 180 to
about 190 (more than 5%).
