Some of the micro-ops weren't casting 1 to ULL before shifting,
which can cause problems. On the perl makerand input this
caused some values to be negative that shouldn't have been.
The casts are done as ULL(1) instead of 1ULL to match others
in the m5 code base.
The PC indexes in the various register sets was defined in the section for
unaliased registers which was throwing off the indexing. This moves those
where they belong. Also, to make detecting accesses to the PC easier and
because it's in the same place in all modes, the intRegForceUser function
now passes it through as index 15.
Unfortunately my implementation of the movd instruction had two bugs.
In one case, when moving a 32-bit value into an xmm register, the
lower half of the xmm register was not zero extended.
The other case is that xmm was used instead of xmmlm as the source
for a register move. My test case didn't notice this at first
as it moved xmm0 to eax, which both have the same register
number.
This double cast led to rounding errors which caused
some benchmarks to get the wrong values, most notably lucas
which failed spectacularly due to CVTTSD2SI returning an
off-by-one value. equake was also broken.
Specifically, get rid of the big switch statement so more cases can be
handled. Enumerating all the possible settings doesn't scale well. Also do
some minor style clean up.
Add constants for all the modes and registers, maps for aliasing, functions
that use the maps and range check, and use a named constant instead of a magic
number for the microcode register.
This problem is like the one fixed with movhpd a few weeks ago.
A +8 displacement is used to access memory when there should
be none.
This fix is needed for the perlbmk spec2k benchmark to run.
Right now .cc and .hh files are handled separately, but then
they're just munged together at the end by scons, so it
doesn't buy us anything. Might as well munge from the start
since we'll eventually be adding generated Python files
to the list too.
64-bit vsyscall is different than 32-bit.
There are only two syscalls, time and gettimeofday.
On a real system, there is complicated code that implements these
without entering the kernel. That would be complicated to implement in m5.
Instead we just place code that calls the regular syscalls (this is how
tools such as valgrind handle this case).
This is needed for the perlbmk spec2k benchmark.
These are complicated instructions and the micro-code might be suboptimal.
This has been tested with some small sample programs (attached)
The psrldq instruction is needed by various spec2k programs.
This patch implements the movd_Vo_Edp series of instructions.
It addresses various concerns by Gabe Black about which file the
instruction belonged in, as well as supporting REX prefixed
instructions properly.
This instruction is needed for some of the spec2k benchmarks, most
notably bzip2.
This patch implements the haddpd instruction.
It fixes the problem in the previous version (pointed out by Gabe Black)
where an incorrect result would happen if you issue the instruction
with the same argument twice, i.e. "haddpd %xmm0,%xmm0"
This instruction is used by many spec2k benchmarks.
