This diff is for changing the way ASSERT is handled in Ruby. m5.fast
compiles out the assert statements by using the macro NDEBUG. Ruby uses the
macro RUBY_NO_ASSERT to do so. This macro has been removed and NDEBUG has
been put in its place.
The store queue doesn't need to be ISA specific and architectures can
frequently store more than an int registers worth of data. A 128 bits seems
more common, but even 256 bits may be appropriate. Pretty much anything less
than a cache line size is buildable.
For SPARC ASIs are added to the ExtMachInst. If the ASI is changed simply
marking the instruction as Serializing isn't enough beacuse that only
stops rename. This provides a mechanism to squash all the instructions
and refetch them
ARM instructions updating cumulative flags (ARM FP exceptions and saturation
flags) are not serialized.
Added aliases for ARM FP exceptions and saturation flags in FPSCR. Removed
write accesses to the FP condition codes for most ARM VFP instructions: only
VCMP and VCMPE instructions update the FP condition codes. Removed a potential
cause of seg. faults in the O3 model for NEON memory macro-ops (ARM).
New parameter forms are:
IP address in the format "a.b.c.d" where a-d are from decimal 0 to 255.
IP address with netmask which is an IP followed by "/n" where n is a netmask
length in bits from decimal 0 to 32 or by "/e.f.g.h" where e-h are from
decimal 0 to 255 and which is all 1 bits followed by all 0 bits when
represented in binary. These can also be specified as an integral IP and
netmask passed in separately.
IP address with port which is an IP followed by ":p" where p is a port index
from decimal 0 to 65535. These can also be specified as an integral IP and
port value passed in separately.
This change makes O3 flatten floating point destination registers, and also
fixes misc register flattening so that it's correctly repositioned relative to
the resized regions for integer and floating point indices.
It also fixes some overly long lines.
Most of the messages in the config scripts that report a time value already
print "@ tick" followed by the current tick value, but a few were printing
"@ cycle". Since this is a distinction that's frequently confusing to new
users, this changes those message to the more accurate and consistent "@ tick".
