H A Damo.hh13653:079472978bca Mon Feb 12 23:13:00 EST 2018 Tuan Ta <qtt2@cornell.edu> riscv: fix AMO, LR and SC instructions

(1) Atomic Memory Operation (AMO)

This patch changes how RISC-V AMO instructions are implemented. For each
AMO, instead of issuing a locking load and an unlocking store request to
downstream memory system, this patch issues a single memory request that
contains a corresponding AtomicOpFunctor to the memory system. Once the
memory system receives the request, the atomic operation is executed in
one single step.

This patch also changes how AMO instructions handle acquire and release
flags in AMOs (e.g., amoadd.aq and amoadd.rl). If an AMO is associated
with an acquire flag, a memory fence is inserted after the AMO completes
as a micro-op. If an AMO is associated with a release flag, another
memory fence is inserted before the AMO executes. If both flags are
specified, the AMO is broken down into a sequence of 3 micro-ops:
mem fence -> atomic RMW -> mem fence. This change makes this AMO
implementation comply to the release consistency model.

(2) Load-Reserved (LR) and Store-Conditional (SC)

Addresses locked by LR instructions are tracked in a stack data
structure. LR instruction pushes its target address to the stack, and SC
instruction pops the top address from the stack. As specified by RISC-V
ISA, a SC fails if its target address does not match with the most recent
LR.

Previously, there was a single stack for all hardware thread contexts.
A shared stack between thread contexts can lead to a infinite sequence
of failed SCs if LRs from other threads keep pushing new addresses to
this stack.

This patch gives each context its private stack to address the problem.

This patch also adds extra memory fence micro-ops to lr/sc to guarantee
a correct execution order of memory instructions with respect to release
consistency model.
