gcc 7 onwards have additional heuristics to detect implicit
fallthroughs and it fails the build with warnings for ARM as a result.
There was one gcc bug[1] that I fixed but the rest are cases that gcc
cannot detect due to the point at which it does the fallthrough check.
Most of this patch adds __builtin_unreachable() hints in places that throw
this warning to indicate to gcc that the fallthrough will never
happen.

The remaining cases are actually possible fallthroughs due to
incorrect code running on the simulator; in which case an Unknown
instruction is returned.

H A Daarch64.isa12597:a2848203dcd0 Tue Mar 13 05:44:00 EDT 2018 Chun-Chen Hsu <chunchenhsu@google.com> arch, arm: Fix implicit-fallthrough GCC warnings

GCC 7 generates spurious fallthrough warnings in nested switch blocks
where the inner switch block return. There is already a GCC fix [1]
submitted for review but, until it is merged into GCC trunk, GEM5 will
not build with GCC 7 due to these fallthrough warnings. This patch
silences the spurious fallthrough warnings by appending a M5_UNREACHABLE
statement in the outer switch cases.

Note there is another GEM5 patch [2] to fix other fallthrough warnings.

H A Ddecode_cache.hh8541:27aaee8ec7cc Fri Sep 09 05:30:00 EDT 2011 Gabe Black <gblack@eecs.umich.edu> Decode: Pull instruction decoding out of the StaticInst class into its own.

This change pulls the instruction decoding machinery (including caches) out of
the StaticInst class and puts it into its own class. This has a few intrinsic
benefits. First, the StaticInst code, which has gotten to be quite large, gets
simpler. Second, the code that handles decode caching is now separated out
into its own component and can be looked at in isolation, making it easier to
understand. I took the opportunity to restructure the code a bit which will
hopefully also help.

Beyond that, this change also lays some ground work for each ISA to have its
own, potentially stateful decode object. We'd be able to include less
contextualizing information in the ExtMachInst objects since that context
would be applied at the decoder. Also, the decoder could "know" ahead of time
that all the instructions it's going to see are going to be, for instance, 64
bit mode, and it will have one less thing to check when it decodes them.
Because the decode caching mechanism has been separated out, it's now possible
to have multiple caches which correspond to different types of decoding
context. Having one cache for each element of the cross product of different
configurations may become prohibitive, so it may be desirable to clear out the
cache when relatively static state changes and not to have one for each
setting.

Because the decode function is no longer universally accessible as a static
member of the StaticInst class, a new function was added to the ThreadContexts
that returns the applicable decode object.

H A Dfetch_impl.hh8541:27aaee8ec7cc Fri Sep 09 05:30:00 EDT 2011 Gabe Black <gblack@eecs.umich.edu> Decode: Pull instruction decoding out of the StaticInst class into its own.

This change pulls the instruction decoding machinery (including caches) out of
the StaticInst class and puts it into its own class. This has a few intrinsic
benefits. First, the StaticInst code, which has gotten to be quite large, gets
simpler. Second, the code that handles decode caching is now separated out
into its own component and can be looked at in isolation, making it easier to
understand. I took the opportunity to restructure the code a bit which will
hopefully also help.

Beyond that, this change also lays some ground work for each ISA to have its
own, potentially stateful decode object. We'd be able to include less
contextualizing information in the ExtMachInst objects since that context
would be applied at the decoder. Also, the decoder could "know" ahead of time
that all the instructions it's going to see are going to be, for instance, 64
bit mode, and it will have one less thing to check when it decodes them.
Because the decode caching mechanism has been separated out, it's now possible
to have multiple caches which correspond to different types of decoding
context. Having one cache for each element of the cross product of different
configurations may become prohibitive, so it may be desirable to clear out the
cache when relatively static state changes and not to have one for each
setting.

Because the decode function is no longer universally accessible as a static
member of the StaticInst class, a new function was added to the ThreadContexts
that returns the applicable decode object.

H A Disa_parser.py12597:a2848203dcd0 Tue Mar 13 05:44:00 EDT 2018 Chun-Chen Hsu <chunchenhsu@google.com> arch, arm: Fix implicit-fallthrough GCC warnings

GCC 7 generates spurious fallthrough warnings in nested switch blocks
where the inner switch block return. There is already a GCC fix [1]
submitted for review but, until it is merged into GCC trunk, GEM5 will
not build with GCC 7 due to these fallthrough warnings. This patch
silences the spurious fallthrough warnings by appending a M5_UNREACHABLE
statement in the outer switch cases.

Note there is another GEM5 patch [2] to fix other fallthrough warnings.
