arm: Don't panic when checking coprocessor read/write permissions

Instructions that use the coprocessor interface check the current
program status to determine whether the current context has the
priviledges to read from/write to the coprocessor. Some modes allow
the execution of coprocessor instructions, some others do not allow it,
while some other modes are unexpected (e.g., executing an AArch32
instruction while being in an AArch64 mode).

Previously we would unconditionally trigger a panic if we were in an
unexpected mode. This change removes the panic and replaces it
with an Undefined Instruction fault that triggers if and when a
coprocessor instruction commits in an unexpected mode. This allows
speculative coprocessor instructions from unexpected modes to execute
but prevents them from gettting committed.

arm: Fixed undefined behaviours identified by gcc

This patch fixes the runtime errors highlighted by the undefined

rotating an immediate, we ended up shifting an uint32_t by 32 in some
cases. This case is fixed by checking for a rotation by 0
positions. Second, the Mrc15 and Mcr15 are operating on an IntReg and
a MiscReg, but we used the type RegRegImmOp and passed a MiscRegIndex
as an IntRegIndex. This issue is resolved by introducing a
MiscRegRegImmOp and RegMiscRegImmOp with the appropriate types.

With these fixes there are no runtime errors identified for the full
ARM regressions.

arm: Panics in miscreg read functions can be tripped by O3 model

ARM: IT doesn't need to be serializing.

ARM: Add limited CP14 support.

New kernels attempt to read CP14 what debug architecture is available.
These changes add the debug registers and return that none is currently
available.

Merge with head, hopefully the last time for this batch.

Merge with the main repository again.

SE/FS: Get rid of FULL_SYSTEM in the ARM ISA.

CheckerCPU: Re-factor CheckerCPU to be compatible with current gem5

Brings the CheckerCPU back to life to allow FS and SE checking of the
O3CPU. These changes have only been tested with the ARM ISA. Other
ISAs potentially require modification.

ARM: Add IsSerializeAfter and IsNonSpeculative flag to the syscall instruction .

Squashes the subsequent instructions in O3 pipe after the service call, so that
they see the effect of the system call when re-executed. This isn't really an issue
with FS mode, but can show up in SE mode.

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.

Fix bugs due to interaction between SEV instructions and O3 pipeline

SEV instructions were originally implemented to cause asynchronous squashes
via the generateTCSquash() function in the O3 pipeline when updating the
SEV_MAILBOX miscReg. This caused race conditions between CPUs in an MP system
that would lead to a pipeline either going inactive indefinitely or not being
able to commit squashed instructions. Fixed SEV instructions to behave like
interrupts and cause synchronous sqaushes inside the pipeline, eliminating
the race conditions. Also fixed up the semantics of the WFE instruction to
behave as documented in the ARMv7 ISA description to not sleep if SEV_MAILBOX=1
or unmasked interrupts are pending.

ARM: Construct the predicate test register for more instruction programatically.

If one of the condition codes isn't being used in the execution we should only
read it if the instruction might be dependent on it. With the preeceding changes
there are several more cases where we should dynamically pick instead of assuming
as we did before.

ARM: Further break up condition code into NZ, C, V bits.

Break up the condition code bits into NZ, C, V registers. These are individually
written and this removes some incorrect dependencies between instructions.

ARM: Remove the saturating (Q) condition code from the renamed register.

Move the saturating bit (which is also saturating) from the renamed register
that holds the flags to the CPSR miscreg and adds a allows setting it in a
similar way to the FP saturating registers. This removes a dependency in
instructions that don't write, but need to preserve the Q bit.

ARM: Break up condition codes into normal flags, saturation, and simd.

This change splits out the condcodes from being one monolithic register
into three blocks that are updated independently. This allows CPUs
to not have to do RMW operations on the flags registers for instructions
that don't write all flags.

ARM: Implement WFE/WFI/SEV semantics.

ARM: Use CPU local lock before sending load to mem system.

This change uses the locked_mem.hh header to handle implementing CLREX. It
simplifies the current implementation greatly.

ARM: Cleanup implementation of ITSTATE and put important code in PCState.

Consolidate all code to handle ITSTATE in the PCState object rather than
touching a variety of structures/objects.

ARM: Allow conditional quiesce instructions.

This patch prevents not executed conditional instructions marked as
IsQuiesce from stalling the pipeline indefinitely. If the instruction
is not executed the quiesceSkip psuedoinst is called which schedules a
wakes up call to the fetch stage.

ARM: Do something for ISB, DSB, DMB

ARM: Make Noop actually decode to a noop and set it's instflags.

O3: Fix itstate prediction and recovery.

Any change of control flow now resets the itstate to 0 mask and 0 condition,
except where the control flow alteration write into the cpsr register. These
case, for example return from an iterrupt, require the predecoder to recover
the itstate.

As there is a window of opportunity between the return from an interrupt
changing the control flow at the head of the pipe and the commit of the update
to the CPSR, the predecoder needs to be able to grab the ITstate early. This
is now handled by setting the forcedItState inside a PCstate for the control
flow altering instruction.

That instruction will have the correct mask/cond, but will not have a valid
itstate until advancePC is called (note this happens to advance the execution).
When the new PCstate is copy constructed it gets the itstate cond/mask, and
upon advancing the PC the itstate becomes valid.

Subsequent advancing invalidates the state and zeroes the cond/mask. This is
handled in isolation for the ARM ISA and should have no impact on other ISAs.

Refer arch/arm/types.hh and arch/arm/predecoder.cc for the details.

ARM: Add support for moving predicated false dest operands from sources.

ARM: Take advantage of new PCState syntax.

O3: Make all instructions that write a misc. register not perform the write until commit.

ARM instructions updating cumulative flags (ARM FP exceptions and saturation
flags) are not serialized.

Added aliases for ARM FP exceptions and saturation flags in FPSCR. Removed
write accesses to the FP condition codes for most ARM VFP instructions: only
VCMP and VCMPE instructions update the FP condition codes. Removed a potential
cause of seg. faults in the O3 model for NEON memory macro-ops (ARM).

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.

Mem: Change the CLREX flag to CLEAR_LL.

CLREX is the name of an ARM instruction, not a name for this generic flag.

ARM: Clean up use of TBit and JBit.

Rather tha constantly using ULL(1) << PcXBitShift define those directly.
Additionally, add some helper functions to further clean up the code.

ARM: Make VMSR, RFE PC/LR etc non speculative, and serializing

ARM: Implement DBG instruction that doesn't do much for now.

MEM: Make CLREX a first class request operation and clear locks in caches when it in received

ARM: Implement CLREX init/complete acc methods

ARM: Implement DSB, DMB, ISB

ARM: Implement CLREX

ARM: mark msr/mrs instructions as SerializeBefore/After
Since miscellaneous registers bypass wakeup logic, force serialization
to resolve data dependencies through them
* * *
ARM: adding non-speculative/serialize flags for instructions change CPSR

ARM: Decode to specialized conditional/unconditional versions of instructions.

This is to avoid condition code based dependences from effectively serializing
instructions when the instruction doesn't actually use them.

ARM: Implement a version of mcr and mrc that works in user mode.

ARM: Move some miscellaneous instructions out of the decoder to share with thumb.

ARM: Implement the bkpt instruction.

ARM: Make undefined instructions obey predication.

ARM: Implement support for the IT instruction and the ITSTATE bits of CPSR.

ARM: Implement ARM CPU interrupts

ARM: Undef instruction on invalid user CP15 access

ARM: Implement the CPS instruction.

ARM: Define the setend instruction.

ARM: Implement the enterx and leavex instructions.

These enter and leave thumbEE mode. Currently thumbEE mode behaves exactly the
same as Thumb mode, but at least this will make it -look- like we're enter and
leaving it. The actual behavioral changes will be implemented in future
changes.

ARM: Implement the mrc and mcr instructions.

ARM: Rename the RevOp base class to something more generic.

ARM: Implement the bfc and bfi instructions.

ARM: Implement the ubfx and sbfx instructions.

ARM: Decode the clz instruction.

ARM: Implement the clz instruction.

ARM: Implement the rbit instruction.

ARM: Implement nop.

ARM: Implement the usad8 and usada8 instructions.

ARM: Implement the sel instruction.

ARM: Implement zero/sign extend instructions.

ARM: Generalize the saturation instruction bases for use in other instructions.

ARM: Implement the saturation instructions.

ARM: Implement the REV* instructions.

ARM: Define versions of MSR and MRS outside the decoder.

ARM: Implement SVC (was SWI) outside of the decoder.
