alpha: Implement simPalCheck within the ISA description.

This doesn't need to be plumbed through generic interfaces. If the
function/instruction got more complex in the future (unlikely since
Alpha doesn't really see development these days), it could be moved to
a helper function defined within Alpha files.

arch: Fix all override related warnings.

Clang has started(?) reporting override related warnings, something gcc
apparently did before, but was disabled in the SConstruct. Rather than
disable the warnings in for clang as well, this change fixes the
warnings. A future change will re-enable the warnings for gcc.

# 12614:0bc465e1f5fb 24-Jan-2018 Gabe Black <gabeblack@google.com>

arch: Add a virtual asBytes function to the StaticInst class.

This function takes a pointer to a buffer and the current size of the
buffer as a pass by reference argument. If the size of the buffer is
sufficient, the function stores a binary representation of itself
(generally the ISA defined instruction encoding) in the buffer, and
sets the size argument to how much space it used. This could be used
by ISAs which have two instruction sizes (ARM and thumb, for example).
If the buffer size isn't sufficient, then the size parameter should be
set to what size is required, and then the function should return
without modifying the buffer.

The buffer itself should be aligned to the same standard as memory
returned by new, specifically "The pointer returned shall be suitably
aligned so that it can be converted to a pointer of any complete object
type and then used to access the object or array in the storage
allocated...". This will avoid having to memcpy buffers to avoid
unaligned accesses.

To standardize the representation of the data, it should be stored in
the buffer as little endian. Since most hosts (including ARM and x86
hosts) will be little endian, this will almost always be a no-op.

alpha,arm,mips,power,riscv,sparc,x86: Merge exec decl templates.

In the ISA instruction definitions, some classes were declared with
execute, etc., functions outside of the main template because they
had CPU specific signatures and would need to be duplicated with
each CPU plugged into them. Now that the instructions always just
use an ExecContext, there's no reason for those templates to be
separate. This change folds those templates together.

alpha,arm,mips,power,riscv,sparc,x86,isa: De-specialize ExecContexts.

The ISA parser used to generate different copies of exec functions
for each exec context class a particular CPU wanted to use. That's
since been changed so that those functions take a pointer to the base
ExecContext, so the code which would generate those extra functions
can be removed, and some functions which used to be templated on an
ExecContext subclass can be untemplated, or minimally less templated.

Now that some functions aren't going to be instantiated multiple times
with different signatures, there are also opportunities to collapse
templates and make many instruction definitions simpler within the
parser. Since those changes will be less mechanical, they're left for
later changes and will probably be done in smaller increments.

cpu: Simplify the rename interface and use RegId

With the hierarchical RegId there are a lot of functions that are
redundant now.

The idea behind the simplification is that instead of having the regId,
telling which kind of register read/write/rename/lookup/etc. and then
the function panic_if'ing if the regId is not of the appropriate type,
we provide an interface that decides what kind of register to read
depending on the register type of the given regId.

arch: teach ISA parser how to split code across files

This patch encompasses several interrelated and interdependent changes
to the ISA generation step. The end goal is to reduce the size of the
generated compilation units for instruction execution and decoding so
that batch compilation can proceed with all CPUs active without
exhausting physical memory.

The ISA parser (src/arch/isa_parser.py) has been improved so that it can
accept 'split [output_type];' directives at the top level of the grammar
and 'split(output_type)' python calls within 'exec {{ ... }}' blocks.
This has the effect of "splitting" the files into smaller compilation
units. I use air-quotes around "splitting" because the files themselves
are not split, but preprocessing directives are inserted to have the same
effect.

Architecturally, the ISA parser has had some changes in how it works.
In general, it emits code sooner. It doesn't generate per-CPU files,
and instead defers to the C preprocessor to create the duplicate copies
for each CPU type. Likewise there are more files emitted and the C
preprocessor does more substitution that used to be done by the ISA parser.

Finally, the build system (SCons) needs to be able to cope with a
dynamic list of source files coming out of the ISA parser. The changes
to the SCons{cript,truct} files support this. In broad strokes, the
targets requested on the command line are hidden from SCons until all
the build dependencies are determined, otherwise it would try, realize
it can't reach the goal, and terminate in failure. Since build steps
(i.e. running the ISA parser) must be taken to determine the file list,
several new build stages have been inserted at the very start of the
build. First, the build dependencies from the ISA parser will be emitted
to arch/$ISA/generated/inc.d, which is then read by a new SCons builder
to finalize the dependencies. (Once inc.d exists, the ISA parser will not
need to be run to complete this step.) Once the dependencies are known,
the 'Environments' are made by the makeEnv() function. This function used
to be called before the build began but now happens during the build.
It is easy to see that this step is quite slow; this is a known issue
and it's important to realize that it was already slow, but there was
no obvious cause to attribute it to since nothing was displayed to the
terminal. Since new steps that used to be performed serially are now in a
potentially-parallel build phase, the pathname handling in the SCons scripts
has been tightened up to deal with chdir() race conditions. In general,
pathnames are computed earlier and more likely to be stored, passed around,
and processed as absolute paths rather than relative paths. In the end,
some of these issues had to be fixed by inserting serializing dependencies
in the build.

Minor note:
For the null ISA, we just provide a dummy inc.d so SCons is never
compelled to try to generate it. While it seems slightly wrong to have
anything in src/arch/*/generated (i.e. a non-generated 'generated' file),
it's by far the simplest solution.

arch: remove inline specifiers on all inst constrs, all ISAs

With (upcoming) separate compilation, they are useless. Only
link-time optimization could re-inline them, but ideally
feedback-directed optimization would choose to do so only for
profitable (i.e. common) instructions.

clang/gcc: Fix compilation issues with clang 3.0 and gcc 4.6

This patch addresses a number of minor issues that cause problems when
compiling with clang >= 3.0 and gcc >= 4.6. Most importantly, it
avoids using the deprecated ext/hash_map and instead uses
unordered_map (and similarly so for the hash_set). To make use of the
new STL containers, g++ and clang has to be invoked with "-std=c++0x",
and this is now added for all gcc versions >= 4.6, and for clang >=
3.0. For gcc >= 4.3 and <= 4.5 and clang <= 3.0 we use the tr1
unordered_map to avoid the deprecation warning.

The addition of c++0x in turn causes a few problems, as the
compiler is more stringent and adds a number of new warnings. Below,
the most important issues are enumerated:

1) the use of namespaces is more strict, e.g. for isnan, and all
headers opening the entire namespace std are now fixed.

2) another other issue caused by the more stringent compiler is the
narrowing of the embedded python, which used to be a char array,
and is now unsigned char since there were values larger than 128.

3) a particularly odd issue that arose with the new c++0x behaviour is
found in range.hh, where the operator< causes gcc to complain about
the template type parsing (the "<" is interpreted as the beginning
of a template argument), and the problem seems to be related to the
begin/end members introduced for the range-type iteration, which is
a new feature in c++11.

As a minor update, this patch also fixes the build flags for the clang
debug target that used to be shared with gcc and incorrectly use
"-ggdb".

gcc: Clean-up of non-C++0x compliant code, first steps

This patch cleans up a number of minor issues aiming to get closer to
compliance with the C++0x standard as interpreted by gcc and clang
(compile with std=c++0x and -pedantic-errors). In particular, the
patch cleans up enums where the last item was succeded by a comma,
namespaces closed by a curcly brace followed by a semi-colon, and the
use of the GNU-extension typeof (replaced by templated functions). It
does not address variable-length arrays, zero-size arrays, anonymous
structs, range expressions in switch statements, and the use of long
long. The generated CPU code also has a large number of issues that
remain to be fixed, mainly related to overflows in implicit constant
conversion (due to shifts).


# 8738:66bf413b0d5b 30-Sep-2011 Gabe Black <gblack@eecs.umich.edu>

SE/FS: Use the new FullSystem constant where possible.


# 8588:ef28ed90449d 27-Sep-2011 Gabe Black <gblack@eecs.umich.edu>

ISA parser: Use '_' instead of '.' to delimit type modifiers on operands.

By using an underscore, the "." is still available and can unambiguously be
used to refer to members of a structure if an operand is a structure, class,
etc. This change mostly just replaces the appropriate "."s with "_"s, but
there were also a few places where the ISA descriptions where handling the
extensions themselves and had their own regular expressions to update. The
regular expressions in the isa parser were updated as well. It also now
looks for one of the defined type extensions specifically after connecting "_"
where before it would look for any sequence of characters after a "."
following an operand name and try to use it as the extension. This helps to
disambiguate cases where a "_" may legitimately be part of an operand name but
not separate the name from the type suffix.

Because leaving the "_" and suffix on the variable name still leaves a valid
C++ identifier and all extensions need to be consistent in a given context, I
considered leaving them on as a breadcrumb that would show what the intended
type was for that operand. Unfortunately the operands can be referred to in
code templates, the Mem operand in particular, and since the exact type of Mem
can be different for different uses of the same template, that broke things.

# 7720:65d338a8dba4 31-Oct-2010 Gabe Black <gblack@eecs.umich.edu>

ISA,CPU,etc: Create an ISA defined PC type that abstracts out ISA behaviors.



This change is a low level and pervasive reorganization of how PCs are managed
in M5. Back when Alpha was the only ISA, there were only 2 PCs to worry about,
the PC and the NPC, and the lsb of the PC signaled whether or not you were in
PAL mode. As other ISAs were added, we had to add an NNPC, micro PC and next
micropc, x86 and ARM introduced variable length instruction sets, and ARM
started to keep track of mode bits in the PC. Each CPU model handled PCs in
its own custom way that needed to be updated individually to handle the new
dimensions of variability, or, in the case of ARMs mode-bit-in-the-pc hack,
the complexity could be hidden in the ISA at the ISA implementation's expense.
Areas like the branch predictor hadn't been updated to handle branch delay
slots or micropcs, and it turns out that had introduced a significant (10s of
percent) performance bug in SPARC and to a lesser extend MIPS. Rather than
perpetuate the problem by reworking O3 again to handle the PC features needed
by x86, this change was introduced to rework PC handling in a more modular,
transparent, and hopefully efficient way.


PC type:

Rather than having the superset of all possible elements of PC state declared
in each of the CPU models, each ISA defines its own PCState type which has
exactly the elements it needs. A cross product of canned PCState classes are
defined in the new "generic" ISA directory for ISAs with/without delay slots
and microcode. These are either typedef-ed or subclassed by each ISA. To read
or write this structure through a *Context, you use the new pcState() accessor
which reads or writes depending on whether it has an argument. If you just
want the address of the current or next instruction or the current micro PC,
you can get those through read-only accessors on either the PCState type or
the *Contexts. These are instAddr(), nextInstAddr(), and microPC(). Note the
move away from readPC. That name is ambiguous since it's not clear whether or
not it should be the actual address to fetch from, or if it should have extra
bits in it like the PAL mode bit. Each class is free to define its own
functions to get at whatever values it needs however it needs to to be used in
ISA specific code. Eventually Alpha's PAL mode bit could be moved out of the
PC and into a separate field like ARM.

These types can be reset to a particular pc (where npc = pc +
sizeof(MachInst), nnpc = npc + sizeof(MachInst), upc = 0, nupc = 1 as
appropriate), printed, serialized, and compared. There is a branching()
function which encapsulates code in the CPU models that checked if an
instruction branched or not. Exactly what that means in the context of branch
delay slots which can skip an instruction when not taken is ambiguous, and
ideally this function and its uses can be eliminated. PCStates also generally
know how to advance themselves in various ways depending on if they point at
an instruction, a microop, or the last microop of a macroop. More on that
later.

Ideally, accessing all the PCs at once when setting them will improve
performance of M5 even though more data needs to be moved around. This is
because often all the PCs need to be manipulated together, and by getting them
all at once you avoid multiple function calls. Also, the PCs of a particular
thread will have spatial locality in the cache. Previously they were grouped
by element in arrays which spread out accesses.


Advancing the PC:

The PCs were previously managed entirely by the CPU which had to know about PC
semantics, try to figure out which dimension to increment the PC in, what to
set NPC/NNPC, etc. These decisions are best left to the ISA in conjunction
with the PC type itself. Because most of the information about how to
increment the PC (mainly what type of instruction it refers to) is contained
in the instruction object, a new advancePC virtual function was added to the
StaticInst class. Subclasses provide an implementation that moves around the
right element of the PC with a minimal amount of decision making. In ISAs like
Alpha, the instructions always simply assign NPC to PC without having to worry
about micropcs, nnpcs, etc. The added cost of a virtual function call should
be outweighed by not having to figure out as much about what to do with the
PCs and mucking around with the extra elements.

One drawback of making the StaticInsts advance the PC is that you have to
actually have one to advance the PC. This would, superficially, seem to
require decoding an instruction before fetch could advance. This is, as far as
I can tell, realistic. fetch would advance through memory addresses, not PCs,
perhaps predicting new memory addresses using existing ones. More
sophisticated decisions about control flow would be made later on, after the
instruction was decoded, and handed back to fetch. If branching needs to
happen, some amount of decoding needs to happen to see that it's a branch,
what the target is, etc. This could get a little more complicated if that gets
done by the predecoder, but I'm choosing to ignore that for now.


Variable length instructions:

To handle variable length instructions in x86 and ARM, the predecoder now
takes in the current PC by reference to the getExtMachInst function. It can
modify the PC however it needs to (by setting NPC to be the PC + instruction
length, for instance). This could be improved since the CPU doesn't know if
the PC was modified and always has to write it back.


ISA parser:

To support the new API, all PC related operand types were removed from the
parser and replaced with a PCState type. There are two warts on this
implementation. First, as with all the other operand types, the PCState still
has to have a valid operand type even though it doesn't use it. Second, using
syntax like PCS.npc(target) doesn't work for two reasons, this looks like the
syntax for operand type overriding, and the parser can't figure out if you're
reading or writing. Instructions that use the PCS operand (which I've
consistently called it) need to first read it into a local variable,
manipulate it, and then write it back out.


Return address stack:

The return address stack needed a little extra help because, in the presence
of branch delay slots, it has to merge together elements of the return PC and
the call PC. To handle that, a buildRetPC utility function was added. There
are basically only two versions in all the ISAs, but it didn't seem short
enough to put into the generic ISA directory. Also, the branch predictor code
in O3 and InOrder were adjusted so that they always store the PC of the actual
call instruction in the RAS, not the next PC. If the call instruction is a
microop, the next PC refers to the next microop in the same macroop which is
probably not desirable. The buildRetPC function advances the PC intelligently
to the next macroop (in an ISA specific way) so that that case works.


Change in stats:

There were no change in stats except in MIPS and SPARC in the O3 model. MIPS
runs in about 9% fewer ticks. SPARC runs with 30%-50% fewer ticks, which could
likely be improved further by setting call/return instruction flags and taking
advantage of the RAS.


TODO:

Add != operators to the PCState classes, defined trivially to be !(a==b).
Smooth out places where PCs are split apart, passed around, and put back
together later. I think this might happen in SPARC's fault code. Add ISA
specific constructors that allow setting PC elements without calling a bunch
of accessors. Try to eliminate the need for the branching() function. Factor
out Alpha's PAL mode pc bit into a separate flag field, and eliminate places
where it's blindly masked out or tested in the PC.

O3CPU: Undo Gabe's changes to remove hwrei and simpalcheck from O3 CPU. Removing hwrei causes
the instruction after the hwrei to be fetched before the ITB/DTB_CM register is updated in a call pal
call sys and thus the translation fails because the user is attempting to access a super page address.

Minimally, it seems as though some sort of fetch stall or refetch after a hwrei is required. I think
this works currently because the hwrei uses the exec context interface, and the o3 stalls when that occurs.

Additionally, these changes don't update the LOCK register and probably break ll/sc. Both o3 changes were
removed since a great deal of manual patching would be required to only remove the hwrei change.

New directory structure:
- simulator source now in 'src' subdirectory
- imported files from 'ext' repository
- support building in arbitrary places, including
outside of the source tree. See comment at top
of SConstruct file for more details.
Regression tests are temporarily disabled; that
syetem needs more extensive revisions.

SConstruct:
Update for new directory structure.
Modify to support build trees that are not subdirectories
of the source tree. See comment at top of file for
more details.
Regression tests are temporarily disabled.
