Now that we have a 33 bit x 33 bit signed multiplier in execute1,
there is really no need for the 16 bit multiplier. The coremark
results are just as good without it as with it. This removes the
option for the sake of simplicity.

This is necessary for the upcoming Arctic Tern system enablement,
since Arctic Tern uses two DRAM devices and a separate clock line
is routed to each device. LiteX handles this behavior correctly,
therefore we assume other hardware exists that uses a similar
DRAM clock design.

At present, code (such as simple_random) which produces serial port
output during the first few milliseconds of operation produces garbled
output. The reason is that the clock has not yet stabilized and is
running slow, resulting in the bit time of the serial characters being
too long.
The ECP5 data sheet says that the phase detector should be operated
between 10 and 400 MHz. The current code operates it at 2MHz.
Consequently, the PLL lock indication doesn't work, i.e. it is always
zero. The current code works around that by inverting it, i.e. taking
the "not locked" indication to mean "locked".
Instead, we now run it at 12MHz, chosen because the common external
clock inputs on ECP5 boards are 12MHz and 48MHz. Normally this would
mean that the available system clock frequencies would be multiples of
12MHz, but this is a little inconvenient as we use 40MHz on the Orange
Crab v0.21 boards. Instead, by using the secondary clock output for
feedback, we can have any divisor of the PLL frequency as the system
clock frequency.
The ECP5 data sheet says the PLL oscillator can run at 400 to 800
MHz. Here we choose 480MHz since that allows us to generate 40MHz and
48MHz easily and is a multiple of 12MHz.
With this, the lock signal works correctly, and the inversion can be
removed.

This makes the 64-bit wishbone buses have the address expressed in
units of doublewords (64 bits), and similarly for the 32-bit buses the
address is in units of words (32 bits). This is to comply with the
wishbone spec. Previously the addresses on the wishbone buses were in
units of bytes regardless of the bus data width, which is not correct
and caused problems with interfacing with externally-generated logic.

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
(mull[dw][o] and mulli, but not maddld) when the operands are both in
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
cycle. This improves the coremark result by about 4%, since coremark
does quite a lot of multiplies and they almost all have operands that
fit into 16 bits.
The presence of the short multiplier is controlled by a generic at the
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
fusesoc.

Experimenting with using ghdl to do VHDL to Verilog conversion (instead
of ghdl+yosys), verilator complains that a signal is a SystemVerilog
keyword:

... Suggest modify the Verilog-2001 code to avoid SV keywords, or use `begin_keywords or --language.

it's easy to rename the signal in question. Rename di at the same

The icache RAM is currently LUT ram not block ram. This massively
bloats the icache size. We think this is due to yosys not inferencing
the RAM correctly but that's yet to be confirmed.
Work around this for now by reducing the default size of the icache
RAM for the ECP5 builds.
On the ECP5 85K builts, this gets us from 95% down to 76% and helps
our CI to pass.

This adds litesdcard.v generated from the litex/litesdcard project,
along with logic in top-arty.vhdl to connect it into the system.
There is now a DMA wishbone coming in to soc.vhdl which is narrower
than the other wishbone masters (it has 32-bit data rather than
64-bit) so there is a widening/narrowing adapter between it and the
main wishbone master arbiter.
Also, litesdcard generates a non-pipelined wishbone for its DMA
connection, which needs to be converted to a pipelined wishbone. We
have a latch on both the incoming and outgoing sides of the wishbone
in order to help make timing (at the cost of two extra cycles of
latency).
litesdcard generates an interrupt signal which is wired up to input 3
of the ICS (IRQ 19).

This adds a GPIO controller which provides 32 bits of I/O. The
registers are modelled on the set used by the gpio-ftgpio010.c driver
in the Linux kernel. Currently there is no interrupt capability
implemented, though an interrupt line from the GPIO subsystem to the
XICS has been connected.
For the Arty A7 board, GPIO lines 0 to 13 are connected to the pins
labelled IO0 to IO13 on the "shield" connector, GPIO lines 14 to 29
connect to IO26 to IO41, GPIO line 30 connects to the pin labelled A
(aka IO42), and GPIO line 31 is connected to LED 7.

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%).
The BTC is optional. Builds for the Artix 7 35-T part have it off by
default because the extra ~1420 LUTs it takes mean that the design
doesn't fit on the Arty A7-35 board.

between single and double precision.
We now have the FP, FE0 and FE1 bits in MSR. FP loads and stores
cause a FP unavailable interrupt if MSR[FP] = 0.
The FPU facilities are optional and their presence is controlled by

This adds a true random number generator for the Xilinx FPGAs which
uses a set of chaotic ring oscillators to generate random bits and
then passes them through a Linear Hybrid Cellular Automaton (LHCA) to
remove bias, as described in "High Speed True Random Number Generators
in Xilinx FPGAs" by Catalin Baetoniu of Xilinx Inc., in:
https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/83ac/9e9c1bb3dad5180654984604c8d5d8137412.pdf
This requires adding a .xdc file to tell vivado that the combinatorial
loops that form the ring oscillators are intentional. The same
code should work on other FPGAs as well if their tools can be told to
accept the combinatorial loops.
For simulation, the random.vhdl module gets compiled in, which uses
the pseudorand() function to generate random numbers.
Synthesis using yosys uses nonrandom.vhdl, which always signals an
error, causing darn to return 0xffff_ffff_ffff_ffff.
This adds an implementation of the darn instruction. Darn can return
either raw or conditioned random numbers. On Xilinx FPGAs, reading a
raw random number gives the output of the ring oscillators, and
reading a conditioned random number gives the output of the LHCA.

Make the core go faster
Several major improvements in here:
- Simple branch predictor
- Reduced latency for mispredicted branches and interrupts by removing fetch2 stage
- Cache improvements
o Request critical dword first on refill
o Handle hits while refilling, including on line being refilled
o Sizes doubled for both D and I
- Loadstore improvements: can now do one load or store every two cycles in most cases
- Optimized 2-cycle multiplier for Xilinx 7-series parts using DSP slices
- Timing improvements, including:
o Stash buffer in decode1
o Reduced width of execute1 result mux
o Improved SPR decode in decode1
o Some non-critical operation take a cycle longer so we can break some long combinatorial chains
- Core logging: logs 256 bits of info every cycle into a ring buffer, to help with debugging and performance analysis
This increases the LUT usage for the "synth" + A35 target from 9182 to 10297 = 12%.
This plumbs the LOG_LENGTH parameter (which controls how many entries
the core log RAM has) up to the top level so that it can be set on
the fusesoc command line and have different default values on
different FPGAs.
It now defaults to 512 entries generally and on the Artix-7 35 parts,
and 2048 on the larger Artix-7 FPGAs. It can be set to 0 if desired.

This makes the control bus currently going out of "soc" towards
litedram more generic for external IO devices added by the
top-level rather than inside the SoC proper.
This is mostly renaming of signals and a small change on how the
address decoder operates, using a separate "cascaded" decode for
the external IOs.
We make the region 0xc8nn_nnnn be the "external IO" region for
