H A Dsnoop_filter.hh11129:48c02e8b0bbb Fri Sep 25 07:26:00 EDT 2015 Ali Jafri <ali.jafri@arm.com> mem: Add CleanEvict and Writeback support to snoop filters

This patch adds the functionality to properly track CleanEvicts and
Writebacks in the snoop filter. Previously there were no CleanEvicts, and
Writebacks did not send up snoops to ensure there were no copies in
caches above. Hence a writeback could never erase an entry from the
snoop filter.

When a CleanEvict message reaches a snoop filter, it confirms that the
BLOCK_CACHED flag is not set and resets the bits corresponding to the
CleanEvict address and port it arrived on. If none of the other peer
caches have (or have requested) the block, the snoop filter forwards
the CleanEvict to lower levels of memory. In case of a Writeback
message, the snoop filter checks if the BLOCK_CACHED flag is not set
and only then resets the bits corresponding to the Writeback
address. If any of the other peer caches have (or has requested) the
same block, the snoop filter sets the BLOCK_CACHED flag in the
Writeback before forwarding it to lower levels of memory heirarachy.
