/**
* DefaultCommit handles single threaded and SMT commit. Its width is
* specified by the parameters; each cycle it tries to commit that
* many instructions. The SMT policy decides which thread it tries to
* commit instructions from. Non- speculative instructions must reach
* the head of the ROB before they are ready to execute; once they
* reach the head, commit will broadcast the instruction's sequence
* number to the previous stages so that they can issue/ execute the
* instruction. Only one non-speculative instruction is handled per
* cycle. Commit is responsible for handling all back-end initiated
* redirects. It receives the redirect, and then broadcasts it to all
* stages, indicating the sequence number they should squash until,
* and any necessary branch misprediction information as well. It
* priortizes redirects by instruction's age, only broadcasting a
* redirect if it corresponds to an instruction that should currently
* be in the ROB. This is done by tracking the sequence number of the
* youngest instruction in the ROB, which gets updated to any
* squashing instruction's sequence number, and only broadcasting a
* redirect if it corresponds to an older instruction. Commit also
* supports multiple cycle squashing, to model a ROB that can only
* remove a certain number of instructions per cycle.

// Typedefs from the Impl.
Two updates that got combined into one ChangeSet accidentally. They're both pretty simple so they shouldn't cause any trouble. First: Rename FullCPU and its variants in the o3 directory to O3CPU to differentiate from the old model, and also to specify it's an out of order model. Second: Include build options for selecting the Checker to be used. These options make sure if the Checker is being used there is a CPU that supports it also being compiled. SConstruct: Add in option USE_CHECKER to allow for not compiling in checker code. The checker is enabled through this option instead of through the CPU_MODELS list. However it's still necessary to treat the Checker like a CPU model, so it is appended onto the CPU_MODELS list if enabled. configs/test/test.py: Name change for DetailedCPU to DetailedO3CPU. Also include option for max tick. src/base/traceflags.py: Add in O3CPU trace flag. src/cpu/SConscript: Rename AlphaFullCPU to AlphaO3CPU. Only include checker sources if they're necessary. Also add a list of CPUs that support the Checker, and only allow the Checker to be compiled in if one of those CPUs are also being included. src/cpu/base_dyn_inst.cc: src/cpu/base_dyn_inst.hh: Rename typedef to ImplCPU instead of FullCPU, to differentiate from the old FullCPU. src/cpu/cpu_models.py: src/cpu/o3/alpha_cpu.cc: src/cpu/o3/alpha_cpu.hh: src/cpu/o3/alpha_cpu_builder.cc: src/cpu/o3/alpha_cpu_impl.hh: Rename AlphaFullCPU to AlphaO3CPU to differentiate from old FullCPU model. src/cpu/o3/alpha_dyn_inst.hh: src/cpu/o3/alpha_dyn_inst_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/alpha_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/alpha_params.hh: src/cpu/o3/commit.hh: src/cpu/o3/cpu.hh: src/cpu/o3/decode.hh: src/cpu/o3/decode_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/fetch.hh: src/cpu/o3/iew.hh: src/cpu/o3/iew_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/inst_queue.hh: src/cpu/o3/lsq.hh: src/cpu/o3/lsq_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/lsq_unit.hh: src/cpu/o3/regfile.hh: src/cpu/o3/rename.hh: src/cpu/o3/rename_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/rob.hh: src/cpu/o3/rob_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/thread_state.hh: src/python/m5/objects/AlphaO3CPU.py: Rename FullCPU to O3CPU to differentiate from old FullCPU model. src/cpu/o3/commit_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/cpu.cc: src/cpu/o3/fetch_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/lsq_unit_impl.hh: Rename FullCPU to O3CPU to differentiate from old FullCPU model.

typedef typename Impl::O3CPU O3CPU;
Update to make multiple instruction issue and different latencies work. Also change to ref counted DynInst. SConscript: Add branch predictor, BTB, load store queue, and storesets. arch/isa_parser.py: Specify the template parameter for AlphaDynInst base/traceflags.py: Add load store queue, store set, and mem dependence unit to the list of trace flags. cpu/base_dyn_inst.cc: Change formating, add in debug statement. cpu/base_dyn_inst.hh: Change DynInst to be RefCounted, add flag to clear whether or not this instruction can commit. This is likely to be removed in the future. cpu/beta_cpu/alpha_dyn_inst.cc: AlphaDynInst has been changed to be templated, so now this CC file is just used to force instantiations of AlphaDynInst. cpu/beta_cpu/alpha_dyn_inst.hh: Changed AlphaDynInst to be templated on Impl. Removed some unnecessary functions. cpu/beta_cpu/alpha_full_cpu.cc: AlphaFullCPU has been changed to be templated, so this CC file is now just used to force instantation of AlphaFullCPU. cpu/beta_cpu/alpha_full_cpu.hh: Change AlphaFullCPU to be templated on Impl. cpu/beta_cpu/alpha_impl.hh: Update it to reflect AlphaDynInst and AlphaFullCPU being templated on Impl. Also removed time buffers from here, as they are really a part of the CPU and are thus in the CPU policy now. cpu/beta_cpu/alpha_params.hh: Make AlphaSimpleParams inherit from the BaseFullCPU so that it doesn't need to specifically declare any parameters that are already in the BaseFullCPU. cpu/beta_cpu/comm.hh: Changed the structure of the time buffer communication structs. Now they include the size of the packet of instructions it is sending. Added some parameters to the backwards communication struct, mainly for squashing. cpu/beta_cpu/commit.hh: Update typenames to reflect change in location of time buffer structs. Update DynInst to DynInstPtr (it is refcounted now). cpu/beta_cpu/commit_impl.hh: Formatting changes mainly. Also sends back proper information on branch mispredicts so that the bpred unit can update itself. Updated behavior for non-speculative instructions (stores, any other non-spec instructions): once they reach the head of the ROB, the ROB signals back to the IQ that it can go ahead and issue the non-speculative instruction. The instruction itself is updated so that commit won't try to commit it again until it is done executing. cpu/beta_cpu/cpu_policy.hh: Added branch prediction unit, mem dependence prediction unit, load store queue. Moved time buffer structs from AlphaSimpleImpl to here. cpu/beta_cpu/decode.hh: Changed typedefs to reflect change in location of time buffer structs and also the change from DynInst to ref counted DynInstPtr. cpu/beta_cpu/decode_impl.hh: Continues to buffer instructions even while unblocking now. Changed how it loops through groups of instructions so it can properly block during the middle of a group of instructions. cpu/beta_cpu/fetch.hh: Changed typedefs to reflect change in location of time buffer structs and the change to ref counted DynInsts. Also added in branch brediction unit. cpu/beta_cpu/fetch_impl.hh: Add in branch prediction. Changed how fetch checks inputs and its current state to make for easier logic. cpu/beta_cpu/free_list.cc: Changed int regs and float regs to logically use one flat namespace. Future change will be moving them to a single scoreboard to conserve space. cpu/beta_cpu/free_list.hh: Mostly debugging statements. Might be removed for performance in future. cpu/beta_cpu/full_cpu.cc: Added in some debugging statements. Updated BaseFullCPU to take a params object. cpu/beta_cpu/full_cpu.hh: Added params class within BaseCPU that other param classes will be able to inherit from. Updated typedefs to reflect change in location of time buffer structs and ref counted DynInst. cpu/beta_cpu/iew.hh: Updated typedefs to reflect change in location of time buffer structs and use of ref counted DynInsts. cpu/beta_cpu/iew_impl.hh: Added in load store queue, updated iew to be able to execute non- speculative instructions, instead of having them execute in commit. cpu/beta_cpu/inst_queue.hh: Updated change to ref counted DynInsts. Changed inst queue to hold non-speculative instructions as well, which are issued only when commit signals backwards that a nonspeculative instruction is at the head of the ROB. cpu/beta_cpu/inst_queue_impl.hh: Updated to allow for non-speculative instructions to be in the inst queue. Also added some debug functions. cpu/beta_cpu/regfile.hh: Added debugging statements, changed formatting. cpu/beta_cpu/rename.hh: Updated typedefs, added some functions to clean up code. cpu/beta_cpu/rename_impl.hh: Moved some code into functions to make it easier to read. cpu/beta_cpu/rename_map.cc: Changed int and float reg behavior to use a single flat namespace. In the future, the rename maps can be combined to a single rename map to save space. cpu/beta_cpu/rename_map.hh: Added destructor. cpu/beta_cpu/rob.hh: Updated it with change from DynInst to ref counted DynInst. cpu/beta_cpu/rob_impl.hh: Formatting, updated to use ref counted DynInst. cpu/static_inst.hh: Updated forward declaration for AlphaDynInst now that it is templated. --HG-- extra : convert_revision : 1045f240ee9b6a4bd368e1806aca029ebbdc6dd3

SConscript: Add branch predictor, BTB, load store queue, and storesets. arch/isa_parser.py: Specify the template parameter for AlphaDynInst base/traceflags.py: Add load store queue, store set, and mem dependence unit to the list of trace flags. cpu/base_dyn_inst.cc: Change formating, add in debug statement. cpu/base_dyn_inst.hh: Change DynInst to be RefCounted, add flag to clear whether or not this instruction can commit. This is likely to be removed in the future. cpu/beta_cpu/alpha_dyn_inst.cc: AlphaDynInst has been changed to be templated, so now this CC file is just used to force instantiations of AlphaDynInst. cpu/beta_cpu/alpha_dyn_inst.hh: Changed AlphaDynInst to be templated on Impl. Removed some unnecessary functions. cpu/beta_cpu/alpha_full_cpu.cc: AlphaFullCPU has been changed to be templated, so this CC file is now just used to force instantation of AlphaFullCPU. cpu/beta_cpu/alpha_full_cpu.hh: Change AlphaFullCPU to be templated on Impl. cpu/beta_cpu/alpha_impl.hh: Update it to reflect AlphaDynInst and AlphaFullCPU being templated on Impl. Also removed time buffers from here, as they are really a part of the CPU and are thus in the CPU policy now. cpu/beta_cpu/alpha_params.hh: Make AlphaSimpleParams inherit from the BaseFullCPU so that it doesn't need to specifically declare any parameters that are already in the BaseFullCPU. cpu/beta_cpu/comm.hh: Changed the structure of the time buffer communication structs. Now they include the size of the packet of instructions it is sending. Added some parameters to the backwards communication struct, mainly for squashing. cpu/beta_cpu/commit.hh: Update typenames to reflect change in location of time buffer structs. Update DynInst to DynInstPtr (it is refcounted now). cpu/beta_cpu/commit_impl.hh: Formatting changes mainly. Also sends back proper information on branch mispredicts so that the bpred unit can update itself. Updated behavior for non-speculative instructions (stores, any other non-spec instructions): once they reach the head of the ROB, the ROB signals back to the IQ that it can go ahead and issue the non-speculative instruction. The instruction itself is updated so that commit won't try to commit it again until it is done executing. cpu/beta_cpu/cpu_policy.hh: Added branch prediction unit, mem dependence prediction unit, load store queue.

Might be removed for performance in future. cpu/beta_cpu/full_cpu.cc: Added in some debugging statements. Updated BaseFullCPU to take a params object. cpu/beta_cpu/full_cpu.hh: Added params class within BaseCPU that other param classes will be able to inherit from. Updated typedefs to reflect change in location of time buffer structs and ref counted DynInst. cpu/beta_cpu/iew.hh: Updated typedefs to reflect change in location of time buffer structs and use of ref counted DynInsts. cpu/beta_cpu/iew_impl.hh: Added in load store queue, updated iew to be able to execute non- speculative instructions, instead of having them execute in commit. cpu/beta_cpu/inst_queue.hh: Updated change to ref counted DynInsts. Changed inst queue to hold non-speculative instructions as well, which are issued only when commit signals backwards that a nonspeculative instruction is at the head of the ROB. cpu/beta_cpu/inst_queue_impl.hh: Updated to allow for non-speculative instructions to be in the inst queue. Also added some debug functions. cpu/beta_cpu/regfile.hh: Added debugging statements, changed formatting. cpu/beta_cpu/rename.hh: Updated typedefs, added some functions to clean up code. cpu/beta_cpu/rename_impl.hh: Moved some code into functions to make it easier to read. cpu/beta_cpu/rename_map.cc: Changed int and float reg behavior to use a single flat namespace. In the future, the rename maps can be combined to a single rename map to save space. cpu/beta_cpu/rename_map.hh: Added destructor. cpu/beta_cpu/rob.hh: Updated it with change from DynInst to ref counted DynInst. cpu/beta_cpu/rob_impl.hh: Formatting, updated to use ref counted DynInst. cpu/static_inst.hh: Updated forward declaration for AlphaDynInst now that it is templated. --HG-- extra : convert_revision : 1045f240ee9b6a4bd368e1806aca029ebbdc6dd3

public:
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.

/** Sets the PC of a specific thread. */
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.

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.

Two updates that got combined into one ChangeSet accidentally. They're both pretty simple so they shouldn't cause any trouble. First: Rename FullCPU and its variants in the o3 directory to O3CPU to differentiate from the old model, and also to specify it's an out of order model. Second: Include build options for selecting the Checker to be used. These options make sure if the Checker is being used there is a CPU that supports it also being compiled. SConstruct: Add in option USE_CHECKER to allow for not compiling in checker code. The checker is enabled through this option instead of through the CPU_MODELS list. However it's still necessary to treat the Checker like a CPU model, so it is appended onto the CPU_MODELS list if enabled. configs/test/test.py: Name change for DetailedCPU to DetailedO3CPU. Also include option for max tick. src/base/traceflags.py: Add in O3CPU trace flag. src/cpu/SConscript: Rename AlphaFullCPU to AlphaO3CPU. Only include checker sources if they're necessary. Also add a list of CPUs that support the Checker, and only allow the Checker to be compiled in if one of those CPUs are also being included. src/cpu/base_dyn_inst.cc: src/cpu/base_dyn_inst.hh: Rename typedef to ImplCPU instead of FullCPU, to differentiate from the old FullCPU. src/cpu/cpu_models.py: src/cpu/o3/alpha_cpu.cc: src/cpu/o3/alpha_cpu.hh: src/cpu/o3/alpha_cpu_builder.cc: src/cpu/o3/alpha_cpu_impl.hh: Rename AlphaFullCPU to AlphaO3CPU to differentiate from old FullCPU model. src/cpu/o3/alpha_dyn_inst.hh: src/cpu/o3/alpha_dyn_inst_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/alpha_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/alpha_params.hh: src/cpu/o3/commit.hh: src/cpu/o3/cpu.hh: src/cpu/o3/decode.hh: src/cpu/o3/decode_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/fetch.hh: src/cpu/o3/iew.hh: src/cpu/o3/iew_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/inst_queue.hh: src/cpu/o3/lsq.hh: src/cpu/o3/lsq_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/lsq_unit.hh: src/cpu/o3/regfile.hh: src/cpu/o3/rename.hh: src/cpu/o3/rename_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/rob.hh: src/cpu/o3/rob_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/thread_state.hh: src/python/m5/objects/AlphaO3CPU.py: Rename FullCPU to O3CPU to differentiate from old FullCPU model. src/cpu/o3/commit_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/cpu.cc: src/cpu/o3/fetch_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/lsq_unit_impl.hh: Rename FullCPU to O3CPU to differentiate from old FullCPU model.

Change ExecContext to ThreadContext. This is being renamed to differentiate between the interface used objects outside of the CPU, and the interface used by the ISA. ThreadContext is used by objects outside of the CPU and is specifically defined in thread_context.hh. ExecContext is more implicit, and is defined by files such as base_dyn_inst.hh or cpu/simple/base.hh.

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.

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.

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.

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.
