icbi currently just resets the icache. This has some nasty side
effects such as also clearing the TLB, but also the wishbone interface.
That means that any ongoing cycle will be dropped.
However, most of our slaves don't handle that well and will continue
sending acks for already issued requests.
Under some circumstances we can thus restart an icache load and get
spurious ack/data from the wishbone left over from the "cancelled"
sequence.
This has broken booting Linux for me.

This adds one-cycle latches to the various resets out of the soc and
into the various core modules. It *seems* to help vivado P&R a bit
and has shown to avoid timing violations under some circumstances.
Interestingly those resets never seem to appear in the bad timing
path. It looks like those long resets simply impose placement
constraints that Vivado satisfies at the expense of timing elsewhere.

This adds a direct-mapped TLB to the icache, with 64 entries by default.
Execute1 now sends a "virt_mode" signal from MSR[IR] to fetch1 along
with redirects to indicate whether instruction addresses should be
translated through the TLB, and fetch1 sends that on to icache.
Similarly a "priv_mode" signal is sent to indicate the privilege
mode for instruction fetches. This means that changes to MSR[IR]
or MSR[PR] don't take effect until the next redirect, meaning an
isync, rfid, branch, etc.
The icache uses a hash of the effective address (i.e. next instruction
address) to index the TLB. The hash is an XOR of three fields of the
address; with a 64-entry TLB, the fields are bits 12--17, 18--23 and
24--29 of the address. TLB invalidations simply invalidate the
indexed TLB entry without checking the contents.
If the icache detects a TLB miss with virt_mode=1, it will send a
fetch_failed indication through fetch2 to decode1, which will turn it
into a special OP_FETCH_FAILED opcode with unit=LDST. That will get
sent down to loadstore1 which will currently just raise a Instruction
Storage Interrupt (0x400) exception.
One bit in the PTE obtained from the TLB is used to check whether an
instruction access is allowed -- the privilege bit (bit 3). If bit 3
is 1 and priv_mode=0, then a fetch_failed indication is sent down to
fetch2 and to decode1, which generates an OP_FETCH_FAILED. Any PTEs
with PTE bit 0 (EAA[3]) clear or bit 8 (R) clear should not be put
into the iTLB since such PTEs would not allow execution by any
context.
Tlbie operations get sent from mmu to icache over a new connection.

This adds a new module to implement an MMU. At the moment it doesn't
do very much. Tlbie instructions now get sent by loadstore1 to mmu,
which sends them to dcache, rather than loadstore1 sending them
directly to dcache. TLB misses from dcache now get sent by loadstore1
to mmu, which currently just returns an error. Loadstore1 then
generates a DSI in response to the error return from mmu.

This adds a path from loadstore1 back to execute1 for reporting
errors, and machinery in execute1 for generating data storage
interrupts at vector 0x300.
If dcache is given two requests in successive cycles and the
first encounters an error (e.g. a TLB miss), it will now cancel
the second request.
Loadstore1 now responds to errors reported by dcache by sending
an exception signal to execute1 and returning to the idle state.
Execute1 then writes SRR0 and SRR1 and jumps to the 0x300 Data
Storage Interrupt vector. DAR and DSISR are held in loadstore1.

So that the dcache could in future be used by an MMU, this moves
logic to do with data formatting, rA updates for update-form
instructions, and handling of unaligned loads and stores out of
dcache and into loadstore1. For now, dcache connects only to
loadstore1, and loadstore1 now has the connection to writeback.
Dcache generates a stall signal to loadstore1 which indicates that
the request presented in the current cycle was not accepted and
should be presented again. However, loadstore1 doesn't currently
use it because we know that we can never hit the circumstances
where it might be set.
For unaligned transfers, loadstore1 generates two requests to
dcache back-to-back, and then waits to see two acks back from
dcache (cycles where d_in.valid is true).
Loadstore1 now has a FSM for tracking how many acks we are
expecting from dcache and for doing the rA update cycles when
necessary. Handling for reservations and conditional stores is
still in dcache.
Loadstore1 now generates its own stall signal back to decode2,
so we no longer need the logic in execute1 that generated the stall
for the first two cycles.
Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>
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 allows us to use the bypass at the input of execute1 for the
address and data operands for loadstore1.
Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>
This enables back-to-back execution of integer instructions where
the first instruction writes a GPR and the second reads the same
GPR. This is done with a set of multiplexers at the start of
execute1 which enable any of the three input operands to be taken
from the output of execute1 (i.e. r.e.write_data) rather than the
input from decode2 (i.e. e_in.read_data[123]).
This also requires changes to the hazard detection and handling.
Decode2 generates a signal indicating that the GPR being written
is available for bypass, which is true for instructions that are
executed in execute1 (rather than loadstore1/dcache). The
gpr_hazard module stores this "bypassable" bit, and if the same
GPR needs to be read by a subsequent instruction, it outputs a
"use_bypass" signal rather than generating a stall. The
use_bypass signal is then latched at the output of decode2 and
passed down to execute1 to control the input multiplexer.
At the moment there is no bypass on the inputs to loadstore1, but that
is OK because all load and store instructions are marked as
single-issue.

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.

Right now our test cases fold the SPRs into the GPRs. That makes

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.

The dcache unit is losely based on the icache one (same basic cache
layout), but has some significant logic additions to deal with stores,

part.

This adds logic to detect the cases where the quotient of the
division overflows the range of the output representation, and
return all zeroes in those cases, which is what POWER9 does.
To do this, we extend the dividend register by 1 bit and we do
an extra step in the division process to get a 2^64 bit of the
quotient, which ends up in the 'overflow' signal. This catches all
the cases where dividend >= 2^64 * divisor, including the case
where divisor = 0, and the divde/divdeu cases where |RA| >= |RB|.
Then, in the output stage, we also check that the result fits in
the representable range, which depends on whether the division is
a signed division or not, and whether it is a 32-bit or 64-bit
division. If dividend >= 2^64 or the result doesn't fit in the
representable range, write_data is set to 0 and write_cr_data to
0x20000000 (i.e. cr0.eq = 1).
POWER9 sets the top 32 bits of the result to zero for 32-bit signed
divisions, and sets CR0 when RC=1 according to the 64-bit value
(i.e. CR0.LT is always 0 for 32-bit signed divisions, even if the
32-bit result is negative). However, modsw with a negative result
sets the top 32 bits to all 1s. We follow suit.
This updates divider_tb to check the invalid cases as well as the
valid case.
This also fixes a small bug where the reset signal for the divider
was driven from rst when it should have been driven from core_rst.

We only ever access the cache memory for at most the wishbone bus
width at a time. So having the BRAMs organized as a cache-line-wide
port is a waste of resources.
Instead, use a wishbone-wide memory and store a line as consecutive
rows in the BRAM.
This significantly improves BRAM usage in the FPGA as we can now use
more rows in the BRAM blocks. It also saves a few LUTs and muxes.

The goal is to have the icache fit in BRAM by latching the output
into a register. In order to avoid timing issues , we need to give
the BRAM a full cycle on reads, and thus we souce the BRAM address
directly from fetch1 latched NIA.
(Note: This will be problematic if/when we want to hash the address,
we'll probably be better off having fetch1 latch a fully hashed address
along with the normal one, so the icache can use the former to address
the BRAM and pass the latter along)
One difficulty is that we cannot really stall the icache without adding
more combo logic that would break the "one full cycle" BRAM model. This
means that on stalls from decode, by the time we stall fetch1, it has
already gone to the next address, which the icache is already latching.
We work around this by having a "stash" buffer in fetch2 that will stash
away the icache output on a stall, and override the output of the icache
with the content of the stash buffer when unstalling.
This requires a rewrite of the stop/step debug logic as well. We now
do most of the hard work in fetch1 which makes more sense.
Note: Vivado is still not inferring an built-in output register for the
BRAMs. I don't want to add another cycle... I don't fully understand why
it wouldn't be able to treat current_row as such but clearly it won't. At
least the timing seems good enough now for 100Mhz, possibly more.

The register file is currently implemented as a whole pile of individual
1-bit registers instead of LUT memory which is a huge waste of FPGA
space.
This is caused by the output signal exposing the register file to the
outside world for simulation debug.

to the register file module itself. This saves about 8% of fpga on

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.
