This reduces the number of cycles where loadstore1 asserts its busy
output, leading to increased throughput of loads and stores. Loads
that hit in the cache can now be executed at the rate of one every two
cycles. Stores take 4 cycles assuming the wishbone slave responds
with an ack the cycle after we assert strobe.
To achieve this, the state machine code is split into two parts, one
for when we have an existing instruction in progress, and one for
starting a new instruction. We can now combinatorially clear busy and
start a new instruction in the same cycle that we get a done signal
from the dcache; in other words we are completing one instruction and
potentially writing back results in the same cycle that we start a new
instruction and send its address and data to the dcache.

This makes mfspr and mtspr complete (and mfspr write back) on the
cycle after the instruction is received from execute1, rather than
on the same cycle. This makes them match all other instructions
that execute in one cycle. Because these instructions are marked
as single-issue, there wasn't the possibility of having two
instructions complete on the same cycle (which we can't cope with),
but it is better to fix this.

This changes the instruction dependency tracking so that we can
generate a "busy" signal from execute1 and loadstore1 which comes
along one cycle later than the current "stall" signal. This will
enable us to signal busy cycles only when we need to from loadstore1.
The "busy" signal from execute1/loadstore1 indicates "I didn't take
the thing you gave me on this cycle", as distinct from the previous
stall signal which meant "I took that but don't give me anything
next cycle". That means that decode2 proactively gives execute1
a new instruction as soon as it has taken the previous one (assuming
there is a valid instruction available from decode1), and that then
sits in decode2's output until execute1 can take it. So instructions
are issued by decode2 somewhat earlier than they used to be.
Decode2 now only signals a stall upstream when its output buffer is
full, meaning that we can fill up bubbles in the upstream pipe while a
long instruction is executing. This gives a small boost in
performance.
This also adds dependency tracking for rA updates by update-form
load/store instructions.
The GPR and CR hazard detection machinery now has one extra stage,
which may not be strictly necessary. Some of the code now really
only applies to PIPELINE_DEPTH=1.

This logs 256 bits of data per cycle to a ring buffer in BRAM. The
data collected can be read out through 2 new SPRs or through the
debug interface.
The new SPRs are LOG_ADDR (724) and LOG_DATA (725). LOG_ADDR contains
the buffer write pointer in the upper 32 bits (in units of entries,
i.e. 32 bytes) and the read pointer in the lower 32 bits (in units of
doublewords, i.e. 8 bytes). Reading LOG_DATA gives the doubleword
from the buffer at the read pointer and increments the read pointer.
Setting bit 31 of LOG_ADDR inhibits the trace log system from writing
to the log buffer, so the contents are stable and can be read.
There are two new debug addresses which function similarly to the
LOG_ADDR and LOG_DATA SPRs. The log is frozen while either or both of
the LOG_ADDR SPR bit 31 or the debug LOG_ADDR register bit 31 are set.
The buffer defaults to 2048 entries, i.e. 64kB. The size is set by
the LOG_LENGTH generic on the core_debug module. Software can
determine the length of the buffer because the length is ORed into the
buffer write pointer in the upper 32 bits of LOG_ADDR. Hence the
length of the buffer can be calculated as 1 << (31 - clz(LOG_ADDR)).
There is a program to format the log entries in a somewhat readable
fashion in scripts/fmt_log/fmt_log.c. The log_entry struct in that
file describes the layout of the bits in the log entries.

This adds the PID register and repurposes SPR 720 as the PRTBL
register, which points to the base of the process table. There
doesn't seem to be any point to implementing the partition table given
that we don't have hypervisor mode.
The MMU caches entry 0 of the process table internally (in pgtbl3)
plus the entry indexed by the value in the PID register (pgtbl0).
Both caches are invalidated by a tlbie[l] with RIC=2 or by a move to
PRTBL. The pgtbl0 cache is invalidated by a move to PID. The dTLB
and iTLB are cleared by a move to either PRTBL or PID.
Which of the two page table root pointers is used (pgtbl0 or pgtbl3)
depends on the MSB of the address being translated. Since the segment
checking ensures that address(63) = address(62), this is sufficient to
map quadrants 0 and 3.

Slbia (with IH=7) is used in the Linux kernel to flush the ERATs
(our iTLB/dTLB), so make it do that.
This moves the logic to work out whether to flush a single entry
or the whole TLB from dcache and icache into mmu. We now invalidate
all dTLB and iTLB entries when the AP (actual pagesize) field of
RB is non-zero on a tlbie[l], as well as when IS is non-zero.

This hooks up the connections so that an OP_FETCH_FAILED coming down
to loadstore1 will get sent to the MMU for it to do a radix tree walk
for the instruction address. The MMU then sends the resulting PTE to
the icache module to be installed in the iTLB. If no valid PTE can
be found, the MMU sends an error signal back to loadstore1 which sends
it on to execute1 to generate an ISI.

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.
Unfortunately the privileged instruction tests are broken for now.

This is required by the architecture. It means that the error bits
reported in DSISR or SRR1 now come from the permission/RC check done
on the refetched PTE rather than the TLB entry. Unfortunately that
somewhat breaks the software-loaded TLB mode of operation in that
DSISR/SRR1 always report no PTE rather than permission error or
RC failure.
This also restructures the loadstore1 state machine a bit, combining
the FIRST_ACK_WAIT and LAST_ACK_WAIT states into a single state and
the MMU_LOOKUP_1ST and MMU_LOOKUP_LAST states likewise. We now have a
'dwords_done' bit to say whether the first transfer of two (for an
unaligned access) has been done.
The cache paradox error (where a non-cacheable access finds a hit in
the cache) is now the only cause of DSI from the dcache. This should
probably be a machine check rather than DSI in fact.

A data segment interrupt (DSegI) occurs when an address to be
translated by the MMU is outside the range of the radix tree
or the top two bits of the address (the quadrant) are 01 or 10.
This is detected in a new state of the MMU state machine, and
is sent back to loadstore1 as an error, which sends it on to
execute1 to generate an interrupt to the 0x380 vector.

This adds the necessary machinery to the MMU for it to do radix page
table walks. The core elements are a shifter that can shift the
address right by between 0 and 47 bits, a mask generator that can
generate a mask of between 5 and 16 bits, a final mask generator,
and new states in the state machine.
(The final mask generator is used for transferring bits of the
original address into the resulting TLB entry when the leaf PTE
corresponds to a page size larger than 4kB.)
The hardware does not implement a partition table or a process table.
Software is expected to load the appropriate process table entry
into a new SPR called PGTBL0, SPR 720. The contents should be
formatted as described in Book III section 5.7.6.2 of the Power ISA
v3.0B. PGTBL0 is set to 0 on hard reset. At present, the top two bits
of the address (the quadrant) are ignored.
There is currently no caching of any step in the translation process
or of the final result, other than the entry created in the dTLB.
That entry is a 4k page entry even if the leaf PTE found in the walk
corresponds to a larger page size.
This implementation can handle almost any page table layout and any
page size. The RTS field (in PGTBL0) can have any value between 0
and 31, corresponding to a total address space size between 2^31
and 2^62 bytes. The RPDS field of PGTBL0 can be any value between
5 and 16, except that a value of 0 is taken to disable radix page
table walking (for use when one is using software loading of TLB
entries). The NLS field of the page directory entries can have any
value between 5 and 16. The minimum page size is 4kB, meaning that
the sum of RPDS and the NLS values of the PDEs found on the path to
a leaf PTE must be less than or equal to RTS + 31 - 12.
The PGTBL0 SPR is in the mmu module; thus this adds a path for
loadstore1 to read and write SPRs in mmu. This adds code in dcache
to service doubleword read requests from the MMU, as well as requests
to write dTLB entries.

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 logic to the dcache to check the permissions encoded in
the PTE that it gets from the dTLB. The bits that are checked are:
R must be 1
C must be 1 for a store
EAA(0) - if this is 1, MSR[PR] must be 0
EAA(2) must be 1 for a store
EAA(1) | EAA(2) must be 1 for a load
In addition, ATT(0) is used to indicate a cache-inhibited access.
This now implements DSISR bits 36, 38 and 45.
(Bit numbers above correspond to the ISA, i.e. using big-endian
numbering.)
MSR[PR] is now conveyed to loadstore1 for use in permission checking.

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.

This adds a TLB to dcache, providing the ability to translate
addresses for loads and stores. No protection mechanism has been
implemented yet. The MSR_DR bit controls whether addresses are
translated through the TLB.
The TLB is a fixed-pagesize, set-associative cache. Currently
the page size is 4kB and the TLB is 2-way set associative with 64
entries per set.
This implements the tlbie instruction. RB bits 10 and 11 control
whether the whole TLB is invalidated (if either bit is 1) or just
a single entry corresponding to the effective page number in bits
12-63 of RB.
As an extension until we get a hardware page table walk, a tlbie
instruction with RB bits 9-11 set to 001 will load an entry into
the TLB. The TLB entry value is in RS in the format of a radix PTE.
Currently there is no proper handling of TLB misses. The load or
store will not be performed but no interrupt is generated.
In order to make timing at 100MHz on the Arty A7-100, we compare
the real address from each way of the TLB with the tag from each way
of the cache in parallel (requiring # TLB ways * # cache ways
comparators). Then the result is selected based on which way hit in
the TLB. That avoids a timing path going through the TLB EA
comparators, the multiplexer that selects the RA, and the cache tag
comparators.
The hack where addresses of the form 0xc------- are marked as
cache-inhibited is kept for now but restricted to real-mode accesses.

This adds logic to dcache and loadstore1 to implement dcbz. For now
it zeroes a single cache line (by default 64 bytes), not 128 bytes
like IBM Power processors do.
The dcbz operation is performed much like a load miss, except that
we are writing zeroes to memory instead of reading. As each ack
comes back, we write zeroes to the BRAM instead of data from memory.
In this way we zero the line in memory and also zero the line of
cache memory, establishing the line in the cache if it wasn't already
resident. If it was already resident then we overwrite the existing
line in the cache.

In preparation for adding a TLB to the dcache, this plumbs the
insn_type from execute1 through to loadstore1, so that we can have
other operations besides loads and stores (e.g. tlbie) going to
loadstore1 and thence to the dcache. This also plumbs the unit field
of the decode ROM from decode2 through to execute1 to simplify the
logic around which ops need to go to loadstore1.
The load and store data formatting are now not conditional on the
op being OP_LOAD or OP_STORE. This eliminates the inferred latches
clocked by each of the bits of r.op that we were getting previously.

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>
Currently we don't get the result from a load that hits in the dcache
until the fourth cycle after the instruction was presented to
loadstore1. This trims this back to 3 cycles by taking the low order
bits of the address generated in loadstore1 into dcache directly (not
via the output register of loadstore1) and using them to address the
read port of the dcache data RAM. We use the lower 12 address bits
here in the expectation that any reasonable data cache design will
have a set size of 4kB or less in order to avoid the aliasing problems
that can arise with a virtually-indexed physically-tagged cache if
the set size is greater than the smallest page size provided by the
MMU.
With this we can get rid of r2 and drive the signals going to
writeback from r1, since the load hit data is now available one
cycle earlier. We need a multiplexer on the read address of the
data cache RAM in order to handle the second doubleword of an
unaligned access.
One small complication is that we now need an extra cycle in the case
of an unaligned load which misses in the data cache and which reads
the 2nd-last and last doublewords of a cache line. This is the reason
for the PRE_NEXT_DWORD state; if we just go straight to NEXT_DWORD
then we end up having the write of the last doubleword of the cache
line and the read of that same doubleword occurring in the same
cycle, which means we read stale data rather than the just-fetched
data.

This involves plumbing the (existing) 'reserve' and 'rc' bits in
the decode tables down to dcache, and 'rc' and 'store_done' bits
from dcache to writeback.
It turns out that we had 'RC' set in the 'rc' column for several
ordinary stores and for the attn instruction. This corrects them
to 'NONE', and sets the 'rc' column to 'ONE' for the conditional
stores.
In writeback we now have logic to set CR0 when the input from dcache
has rc = 1.
In dcache we have the reservation itself, which has a valid bit
and the address down to cache line granularity. We don't currently
store the reservation length. For a store conditional which fails,
we set a 'cancel_store' signal which inhibits the write to the
cache and prevents the state machine from starting a bus cycle or
going to the STORE_WAIT_ACK state. Instead we set r1.stcx_fail
which causes the instruction to complete in the next cycle with
rc=1 and store_done=0.

For an unaligned load or store, we do the first doubleword (dword) of
the transfer as normal, but then go to a new NEXT_DWORD state of the
state machine to do the cache tag lookup for the second dword of the
transfer. From the NEXT_DWORD state we have much the same transitions
to other states as from the IDLE state (the transitions for OP_LOAD_HIT
are a bit different but almost identical for the other op values).
We now do the preparation of the data to be written in loadstore1,
that is, byte reversal if necessary and rotation by a number of
bytes based on the low 3 bits of the address. We do rotation not
shifting so we have the bytes that need to go into the second
doubleword in the right place in the low bytes of the data sent to
dcache. The rotation and byte reversal are done in a single step
with one multiplexer per byte by setting the select inputs for each
byte appropriately.
This also fixes writeback to not write the register value until it
has received both pieces of an unaligned load value.

The carry is currently internal to execute1. We don't handle any of
the other XER fields.
This creates type called "xer_common_t" that contains the commonly
used XER bits (CA, CA32, SO, OV, OV32).
The value is stored in the CR file (though it could be a separate
module). The rest of the bits will be implemented as a separate
SPR and the two parts reconciled in mfspr/mtspr in latter commits.
We always read XER in decode2 (there is little point not to)
and send it down all pipeline branches as it will be needed in
writeback for all type of instructions when CR0:SO needs to be
updated (such forms exist for all pipeline branches even if we don't
yet implement them).
To avoid having to track XER hazards, we forward it back in EX1. This
assumes that other pipeline branches that can modify it (mult and div)
are running single issue for now.
One additional hazard to beware of is an XER:SO modifying instruction
in EX1 followed immediately by a store conditional. Due to our writeback
latency, the store will go down the LSU with the previous XER value,
thus the stcx. will set CR0:SO using an obsolete SO value.
I doubt there exist any code relying on this behaviour being correct
but we should account for it regardless, possibly by ensuring that
stcx. remain single issue initially, or later by adding some minimal
tracking or moving the LSU into the same pipeline as execute.
Missing some obscure XER affecting instructions like addex or mcrxrx.
