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.

This might slightly increase the logic in synthesis but avoids
us looking at uninitialized tags when not servicing an active

Initialize to 0 forces the mux to have an extra leg fed with zeros.

The current code has the possibility that we could set reg_addr
or reg_ctrl and then increment reg_addr in the same cycle, resulting
in some long timing paths. Rearrange the code to make it clear
that we are not trying to add an auto-increment to data from
outside the module; in any given cycle we either set one of
reg_addr and reg_ctrl, or we possibly increment reg_addr.

Since the condition setting got moved to writeback, execute2 does
nothing aside from wasting a cycle. This removes it.
Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>
This makes the exts[bhw] instructions do the sign extension in the
writeback stage using the sign-extension logic there instead of
having unique sign extension logic in execute1. This requires
passing the data length and sign extend flag from decode2 down
through execute1 and execute2 and into writeback. As a side bonus
we reduce the number of values in insn_type_t by two.

This adds code to writeback to format data and test the result
against zero for the purpose of setting CR0. The data formatter
is able to shift and mask by bytes and do byte reversal and sign
extension. It can also put together bytes from two input
doublewords to support unaligned loads (including unaligned
byte-reversed loads).
The data formatter starts with an 8:1 multiplexer that is able
to direct any byte of the input to any byte of the output. This
lets us rotate the data and simultaneously byte-reverse it.
The rotated/reversed data goes to a register for the unaligned
cases that overlap two doublewords. Then there is per-byte logic
that does trimming, sign extension, and splicing together bytes
from a previous input doubleword (stored in data_latched) and the
current doubleword. Finally the 64-bit result is tested to set
CR0 if rc = 1.
This removes the RC logic from the execute2, multiply and divide
units, and the shift/mask/byte-reverse/sign-extend logic from
loadstore2.

We have all the machinery in place to implement the neg instruction
as OP_ADD. Doing that means we can ditch OP_NEG, and saves about
66 slice LUTs on the A7-100.

Timing analysis showed that even with the output register, timing
was still a bit tight in the output stage, where the carry has to
propagate all the way through the 64-bit negater, and we were then
testing the top 33 bits to determine if a 32-bit operation had
overflowed.
Instead of detecting overflow at the end, we watch for any 1
bits getting shifted into the top 32 bits of the quotient register
as we are doing the division. That is relatively easy to do and
simplifies the output stage.
Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>
This puts the output of the divider through a register. With the
addition of the logic to detect overflow, the combinatorial output
logic of the divider was becoming a critical path. Adding the
output register adds a cycle to the latency of the divider but
helps make timing at 100MHz on the A7-100.
This also makes the valid, write_reg_enable and write_cr_enable
fields of the output be registered, which eliminates warnings
about register/latch pins with no clock.

Anything that isn't a load or store and anything that doesn't read the
CR can go as soon as its inputs are ready.
While we could also allow SPR read/write and carry read/write, we plan
to change them to be read in decode2 and written in writeback soon and
they will need separate hazard detection to be added.

By using 4:1 multiplexers rather than 2:1, this cuts the number of
levels of multiplexing from 4 to 2 and also reduces the total number
of slice LUTs required. Because we are now handling 4 bits at each
level, including the bottom level, the logic to do the priority
encoding can be factored out into a function that is used at each
level.
This rearranges the logic so that the encoding and selection of bits
is done whether or not the input operand is zero, and the if statement
testing whether the input is zero only affects what is assigned to
result. With this we don't get the inferred latches and we can go
back to using signals rather than variables.
Also add some comments about what is being done.

The shared variable used for FIFO memory is not VHDL 2008 compliant.
I can't see why it needs to be a shared variable since reads and writes
update top and bottom synchronously, meaning they don't need same cycle
access to the FIFO memory.
