Some ISAs (like ARM) relies on hardware page table walkers. For those ISAs,
when a TLB miss occurs, initiateTranslation() can return with NoFault but with
the translation unfinished.
Instructions experiencing a delayed translation due to a hardware page table
walk are deferred until the translation completes and kept into the IQ. In
order to keep track of them, the IQ has been augmented with a queue of the
outstanding delayed memory instructions. When their translation completes,
instructions are re-executed (only their initiateAccess() was already
executed; their DTB translation is now skipped). The IEW stage has been
modified to support such a 2-pass execution.
Also move the "Fault" reference counted pointer type into a separate file,
sim/fault.hh. It would be better to name this less similarly to sim/faults.hh
to reduce confusion, but fault.hh matches the name of the type. We could change
Fault to FaultPtr to match other pointer types, and then changing the name of
the file would make more sense.
This initiates a timing translation and passes the read or write on to the
processor before waiting for it to finish. Once the translation is finished,
the instruction's state is updated via the 'finish' function. A new
DataTranslation class is created to handle this.
The idea is taken from the implementation of timing translations in
TimingSimpleCPU by Gabe Black. This patch also separates out the timing
translations from this CPU and uses the new DataTranslation class.
