1// @todo: Fix the instantaneous communication among all the stages within 2// iew. There's a clear delay between issue and execute, yet backwards 3// communication happens simultaneously. Might not be that bad really... 4// it might skew stats a bit though. Issue would otherwise try to issue 5// instructions that would never be executed if there were a delay; without 6// it issue will simply squash. Make this stage block properly. 7// Update the statuses for each stage. 8// Actually read instructions out of the skid buffer. 9 10#include <queue> 11 12#include "base/timebuf.hh" 13#include "cpu/beta_cpu/iew.hh" 14 15template<class Impl, class IQ> 16SimpleIEW<Impl, IQ>::SimpleIEW(Params ¶ms) 17 : // Just make this time buffer really big for now 18 issueToExecQueue(5, 5), 19 instQueue(params), 20 ldstQueue(params), 21 commitToIEWDelay(params.commitToIEWDelay), 22 renameToIEWDelay(params.renameToIEWDelay), 23 issueToExecuteDelay(params.issueToExecuteDelay), 24 issueReadWidth(params.issueWidth), 25 issueWidth(params.issueWidth), 26 executeWidth(params.executeWidth) 27{ 28 DPRINTF(IEW, "IEW: executeIntWidth: %i.\n", params.executeIntWidth); 29 _status = Idle; 30 _issueStatus = Idle; 31 _exeStatus = Idle; 32 _wbStatus = Idle; 33 34 // Setup wire to read instructions coming from issue. 35 fromIssue = issueToExecQueue.getWire(-issueToExecuteDelay); 36 37 // Instruction queue needs the queue between issue and execute. 38 instQueue.setIssueToExecuteQueue(&issueToExecQueue); 39} 40 41template<class Impl, class IQ> 42void 43SimpleIEW<Impl, IQ>::setCPU(FullCPU *cpu_ptr) 44{ 45 DPRINTF(IEW, "IEW: Setting CPU pointer.\n"); 46 cpu = cpu_ptr; 47 48 instQueue.setCPU(cpu_ptr); 49 ldstQueue.setCPU(cpu_ptr); 50} 51 52template<class Impl, class IQ> 53void 54SimpleIEW<Impl, IQ>::setTimeBuffer(TimeBuffer<TimeStruct> *tb_ptr) 55{ 56 DPRINTF(IEW, "IEW: Setting time buffer pointer.\n"); 57 timeBuffer = tb_ptr; 58 59 // Setup wire to read information from time buffer, from commit. 60 fromCommit = timeBuffer->getWire(-commitToIEWDelay); 61 62 // Setup wire to write information back to previous stages. 63 toRename = timeBuffer->getWire(0); 64 65 // Instruction queue also needs main time buffer. 66 instQueue.setTimeBuffer(tb_ptr); 67} 68 69template<class Impl, class IQ> 70void 71SimpleIEW<Impl, IQ>::setRenameQueue(TimeBuffer<RenameStruct> *rq_ptr) 72{ 73 DPRINTF(IEW, "IEW: Setting rename queue pointer.\n"); 74 renameQueue = rq_ptr; 75 76 // Setup wire to read information from rename queue. 77 fromRename = renameQueue->getWire(-renameToIEWDelay); 78} 79 80template<class Impl, class IQ> 81void 82SimpleIEW<Impl, IQ>::setIEWQueue(TimeBuffer<IEWStruct> *iq_ptr) 83{ 84 DPRINTF(IEW, "IEW: Setting IEW queue pointer.\n"); 85 iewQueue = iq_ptr; 86 87 // Setup wire to write instructions to commit. 88 toCommit = iewQueue->getWire(0); 89} 90 91template<class Impl, class IQ> 92void 93SimpleIEW<Impl, IQ>::setRenameMap(RenameMap *rm_ptr) 94{ 95 DPRINTF(IEW, "IEW: Setting rename map pointer.\n"); 96 renameMap = rm_ptr; 97} 98 99template<class Impl, class IQ> 100void 101SimpleIEW<Impl, IQ>::wakeDependents(DynInstPtr &inst) 102{ 103 instQueue.wakeDependents(inst); 104} 105 106template<class Impl, class IQ> 107void 108SimpleIEW<Impl, IQ>::block() 109{ 110 DPRINTF(IEW, "IEW: Blocking.\n"); 111 // Set the status to Blocked. 112 _status = Blocked; 113 114 // Add the current inputs to the skid buffer so they can be 115 // reprocessed when this stage unblocks. 116 skidBuffer.push(*fromRename); 117 118 // Note that this stage only signals previous stages to stall when 119 // it is the cause of the stall originates at this stage.
