Paul Mackerras 58b06eb5f3 decode: Remove const fields from decode_rom_t
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.

Paul Mackerras c9e92483b8 decode: Push mtspr/mfspr register decoding down into execute1
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.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 3e6f656a90 Add MCRF instruction
Hopefully it's not too timing catastrophic. The variable newcrf will
be handy for the other CR ops when we implement them I suspect.

Paul Mackerras 25b9450475 divider: Do absolute-value ops in divider instead of decode
This moves the negation of negative operands for signed divide and
modulus operations out of the decode2 stage and into the divider.
If either of the operands for a signed divide or modulus operation
is negative, the divider now takes an extra cycle to negate the
operands that are negative.

The interface to the divider now has an 'is_signed' signal rather
than a 'neg_result' signal, and the dividend and divisor can be
negative, so divider_tb had to be updated for the new interface.

The reason for doing this is that one of the worst timing violations
on the Arty A7-100 at 100MHz involved the carry chain in the adders
that did the negation of the dividend and divisor in the decode stage.
Moving the negations to a separate cycle fixes that and also seems to
reduce the total number of slice LUTs used.

Paul Mackerras d5bc6c8824 Add a divider unit and a testbench for it
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.

check against '1' explicitly.

Anton Blanchard 04eb9583e6 Clean up register read debug output
Right now we continually print all 3 possible GPRs an instruction
may be using. Add signals so we only print GPRs when they are
actually read. This should hopefully optimise away when synthesized.

Anton Blanchard 9fbaea6f08 Rework CR file and add forwarding
Handle the CR as a single field with per nibble enables. Forward any
writes in the same cycle.

If this proves to be an issue for timing, we may want to revisit
this in the future. For now, it keeps things simple.

Anton Blanchard 5e140298a5 Rework decode2
The decode2 stage was spaghetti code and needed cleaning up.
Create a series of functions to pull fields from a ppc instruction
and also a series of helpers to extract values for the execution
units.

As suggested by Paul, we should pass all signals to the execution
units and only set the valid signal conditionally, which should
use less resources.
