This removes the constraint that loads and stores are single-issue,
at the expense of a stall of at least 2 cycles for every load and
store.
To do this, we plumb the existing stall signal that was generated
in dcache to core, where it gets ORed with the stall signal from
execute1. Execute1 generates a stall signal for the first two
cycles of each load and store, and dcache generates the stall
signal in the 3rd and subsequent cycles if it needs to.

This implements logic in the logical entity to calculate the results
of the popcnt* and prty* instructions. We now have one insn_type_t
value for the 3 popcnt variants and one for the two prty variants,
using the length field of the decode_rom_t to distinguish between
them. The implementations in logical.vhdl using recursive
algorithms rather than the simple functions in ppc_fx_insns.vhdl.
This gives a saving of about 140 slice LUTs on the A7-100 and
improves timing slightly.

This handles OP_CMP like a subtraction; the main adder computes
~RA + RB + 1, and the condition codes are computed from the results.
A direct comparison of the two input operands is used to calculate the
EQ bit of the condition result. The LT and GT bits are computed from
the MSB of the subtraction result, the carry out from the subtraction,
and the MSBs of the operands. For a 32-bit comparison, the 32-bit
carry and bit 31 of the result and input operands are used; for a
64-bit comparison, the 64-bit carry and bit 63 of the operands and
result are used.
It turns out to be more convenient to use the 'signed' field of
the decode table to distinguish signed from unsigned comparisons,
rather than the insn_type. Therefore this uses OP_CMP for both
cmp and cmpl, which also has the benefit of reducing the number
of values in insn_type_t.
Doing this saves over 200 slice LUTs on the Arty A7-100 and improves
timing slightly as well.

With this, the divider is a unit that execute1 sends operands to and
which sends its results back to execute1, which then send them to
writeback. Execute1 now sends a stall signal when it gets a divide
or modulus instruction until it gets a valid signal back from the
divider. Divide and modulus instructions are no longer marked as
single-issue.
The data formatting step that used to be done in decode2 for div
and mod instructions is now done in execute1. We also do the
absolute value operation in that same cycle instead of taking an
extra cycle inside the divider for signed operations with a
negative operand.

With this, the multiplier isn't a separate pipe that decode2 issues
instructions to, but rather is a unit that execute1 sends operands
to and which sends the result back to execute1, which then sends it
to writeback. Execute1 now sends a stall signal when it gets a
multiply instruction until it gets a valid signal back from the
multiplier.
This all means that we no longer need to mark the multiply
instructions as single-issue.

This stores the most common SPRs in the register file.
This includes CTR and LR and a not yet final list of others.
The register file is set to 64 entries for now. Specific types
are defined that can represent a GPR index (gpr_index_t) or
a GPR/SPR index (gspr_index_t) along with conversion functions
between the two.
On order to deal with some forms of branch updating both LR and
CTR, we introduced a delayed update of LR after a branch link.
Note: We currently stall the pipeline on such a delayed branch,
but we could avoid stalling fetch in that specific case as we
know we have a branch delay. We could also limit that to the
specific case where we need to update both CTR and LR.
This allows us to make bcreg, mtspr and mfspr pipelined. decode1
will automatically force the single issue flag on mfspr/mtspr to
a "slow" SPR.

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 a new entity 'rotator' which contains combinatorial logic
for rotating and masking 64-bit values. It implements the operations
of the rlwinm, rlwnm, rlwimi, rldicl, rldicr, rldic, rldimi, rldcl,
rldcr, sld, slw, srd, srw, srad, sradi, sraw and srawi instructions.
It consists of a 3-stage 64-bit rotator using 4:1 multiplexors at
each stage, two mask generators, output logic and control logic.
The insn_type_t values used for these instructions have been reduced
to just 5: OP_RLC, OP_RLCL and OP_RLCR for the rotate and mask
instructions (clear both left and right, clear left, clear right
variants), OP_SHL for left shifts, and OP_SHR for right shifts.
The control signals for the rotator are derived from the opcode
and from the is_32bit and is_signed fields of the decode_rom_t.
The rotator is instantiated as an entity in execute1 so that we can
be sure we only have one of it.

decode_rom_t to is_32bit and is_signed, so they can be used with

This aims to simplify the logic between the instruction image and
the register file read address ports and reduce the size of the decode
tables. With this patch, the input_reg_a column of the decode tables
can only select RA or zeroes, the input_reg_b column can only select
RB or a constant (0, -1, or an immediate value from the instruction),
and the input_reg_c columns can only select RS or zeroes.
That means that the rotate/shift/logical ops now have their first
input coming in via the input_reg_c column. That means we need to
add a read_data3 field to the Decode2ToExecuteType record, but that
will go away again when we split out the rotate/mask/logical ops to
their own unit.
As a related but not tightly connected change, this patch also sets
the read1_enable signal to the register file be 0 when RA=0 and the
input_reg_a for the instruction is RA_OR_ZERO (previously it was 1).

All of the PPC add and subtract instructions, including carrying
and extended versions, do much the same arithmetic operation:
result = (I xor A) + B + C
where A is the value from RA, I provides a logical inversion of A
(i.e. I is 0 or -1), B is either from RB or is a constant 0 or -1,
and C is 0, 1 or the carry bit from XER (CA).
To consolidate all the add/subtract instructions into a single
OP_ADD, we add a column to decode_rom_t to indicate when A should
be inverted, and change the input_carry field to a 3-state selector
to select C in the equation above.
This also adds a new "CONST_M1" value for input_reg_b_t to indicate
that B is a constant -1. This allows us to implement addme and
subfme.
The addex instruction appears not to exist, so the comments referring
to it are removed.

Experimentation on POWER9 indicates that the invalid form of lbzux
with RA=0 uses just RB as the address, not R0 + RB. Extrapolating
this to all update-form loads and stores with RA=0, change all the
update-form loads and stores to use RA_OR_ZERO rather than RA.
This then means that all decode ROM entries with insn_type = LDST
have input_reg_a = RA_OR_ZERO.

The const* fields of decode_rom_t drove multiplexers in decode2 that
picked out various instruction fields and put them into the const*
fields of the Decode2ToExecute1Type record, from where they were
used in execute1. However, the code in execute1 can just as easily
use the appropriate fields of the original instruction word, since
that is now available in execute1. This therefore changes the
code to do that, resulting in smaller decode tables.

This changes decode_op_31_array from being indexed by a ppc_insn_t
(which is derived from the instruction word by a whole series of
if/elsif statements) to being indexed directly by bits 10...1 of
the instruction word. With this we no longer need ppc_insn.
This then means that the decode1 stage doesn't distinguish between
mfcr and mfocrf, or between mtcrf and mtocrf, since those are
distinguished by the value in bit 20 of the instruction. To
accommodate that, execute1 changes so that the one op value (OP_MFCR)
does either the mfcr or the mfocrf behaviour depending on bit 20
of the instruction word; and similarly for mtcrf/mtocrf.

This comprises the 64-bit rotate and mask instructions. In order to

This changes the decoding of major opcode 19 from using the ppc_insn_t
index to using bits of the instruction word directly. Opcode 19 has
a 10-bit minor opcode field (bits 10..1) but the space is sparsely
filled. Therefore we index a table of single-bit entries with the
10-bit minor opcode to filter out the illegal minor opcodes, and
index a table using just 3 bits -- 5, 3 and 2 -- of the instruction
to get the decode entry. This groups together all the instructions
in 4 columns of the opcode map as a single entry. That means that
mcrf and all the CR logical ops get grouped together, and bcctr, bclr
and bctar get grouped together. At present the CR logical ops are not
implemented, so their grouping has no impact.
The code for bclr and bcctr in execute1 is now common, using a single
op, and it now determines the branch address by looking at bit 10 of
the instruction word at execute time.

Instead of doing mfctr, mflr, mftb, mtctr, mtlr as separate ops,
just pass down mfspr and mtspr ops with the spr number and let
execute1 decode which SPR we're addressing. This will help reduce
the number of instruction bits decode1 needs to look at.
In fact we now pass down the whole instruction from decode2 to
execute1. We will need more bits of the instruction in future,
and the tools should just optimize away any that we don't end
up using. Since the 'aa' bit was just a copy of an instruction
bit, we can now remove it from the record.

This adds a divider unit, connected to the core in much the same way
that the multiplier unit is connected. The division algorithm is
very simple-minded, taking 64 clock cycles for any division (even
32-bit division instructions).
The decoding is simplified by making use of regularities in the
instruction encoding for div* and mod* instructions. Instead of
having PPC_* encodings from the first-stage decoder for each of the
different div* and mod* instructions, we now just have PPC_DIV and
PPC_MOD, and the inputs to the divider that indicate what sort of
division operation to do are derived from instruction word bits.
