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 fault can used to flush the pipe, not including the faulting instruction.
The particular case I needed this was for a self-modifying code. It needed to
drain the store queue and force the following instruction to refetch from
icache. DCCMVAC cp15 mcr instruction is modified to raise this fault.
Instead of panic immediately when these instructions are executed, an
UndefinedInstruction fault is returned. In FS mode (not currently
implemented), this is the fault that should, to my knowledge, be triggered in
these situations and should be handled using the normal architected
mechanisms. In SE mode, the fault causes a panic when it's invoked that gives
the same information as the instruction did. When/if support for speculative
execution of ARM is supported, this will allow a mispeculated and unrecognized
and/or unimplemented instruction from causing a panic. Only once the
instruction is going to be committed will the fault be invoked, triggering the
panic.
