The current implementation of fprem simply does an fmod and doesn't
simulate any of the iterative behavior in a real fprem. This isn't
normally a problem, however, it can lead to problems when switching
between CPU models. If switching from a real CPU in the middle of an
fprem loop to a simulated CPU, the output of the fprem loop becomes
correupted. This changeset changes the fprem implementation to work
like the one on real hardware.
This changeset fixes two problems in the FABS and FCHS
implementation. First, the ISA parser expects the assignment in
flag_code to be a pure assignment and not an and-assignment, which
leads to the isa_parser omitting the misc reg update. Second, the FCHS
and FABS macro-ops don't set the SetStatus flag, which means that the
default micro-op version, which doesn't update FSW, is executed.
Currently all the integer microops are marked as IntAluOp and the floating
point microops are marked as FloatAddOp. This patch adds support for marking
different microops differently. Now IntMultOp, IntDivOp, FloatDivOp,
FloatMultOp, FloatCvtOp, FloatSqrtOp classes will be used as well. This will
help in providing different latencies for different op class.
This patch implements the fsincos instruction. The code was originally written
by Vince Weaver. Gabe had made some comments about the code, but those were
never addressed. This patch addresses those comments.
The D flag bit is part of the cc flag bit register currently. But since it
is not being used any where in the implementation, it creates an unnecessary
dependency. Hence, it is being moved to a separate register.
This patch moves the ECF and EZF bits to individual registers (ecfBit and
ezfBit) and the CF and OF bits to cfofFlag registers. This is being done
so as to lower the read after write dependencies on the the condition code
register. Ultimately we will have the following registers [ZAPS], [OF],
[CF], [ECF], [EZF] and [DF]. Note that this is only one part of the
solution for lowering the dependencies. The other part will check whether
or not the condition code register needs to be actually read. This would
be done through a separate patch.
This patch addresses a number of minor issues that cause problems when
compiling with clang >= 3.0 and gcc >= 4.6. Most importantly, it
avoids using the deprecated ext/hash_map and instead uses
unordered_map (and similarly so for the hash_set). To make use of the
new STL containers, g++ and clang has to be invoked with "-std=c++0x",
and this is now added for all gcc versions >= 4.6, and for clang >=
3.0. For gcc >= 4.3 and <= 4.5 and clang <= 3.0 we use the tr1
unordered_map to avoid the deprecation warning.
The addition of c++0x in turn causes a few problems, as the
compiler is more stringent and adds a number of new warnings. Below,
the most important issues are enumerated:
1) the use of namespaces is more strict, e.g. for isnan, and all
headers opening the entire namespace std are now fixed.
2) another other issue caused by the more stringent compiler is the
narrowing of the embedded python, which used to be a char array,
and is now unsigned char since there were values larger than 128.
3) a particularly odd issue that arose with the new c++0x behaviour is
found in range.hh, where the operator< causes gcc to complain about
the template type parsing (the "<" is interpreted as the beginning
of a template argument), and the problem seems to be related to the
begin/end members introduced for the range-type iteration, which is
a new feature in c++11.
As a minor update, this patch also fixes the build flags for the clang
debug target that used to be shared with gcc and incorrectly use
"-ggdb".
By using an underscore, the "." is still available and can unambiguously be
used to refer to members of a structure if an operand is a structure, class,
etc. This change mostly just replaces the appropriate "."s with "_"s, but
there were also a few places where the ISA descriptions where handling the
extensions themselves and had their own regular expressions to update. The
regular expressions in the isa parser were updated as well. It also now
looks for one of the defined type extensions specifically after connecting "_"
where before it would look for any sequence of characters after a "."
following an operand name and try to use it as the extension. This helps to
disambiguate cases where a "_" may legitimately be part of an operand name but
not separate the name from the type suffix.
Because leaving the "_" and suffix on the variable name still leaves a valid
C++ identifier and all extensions need to be consistent in a given context, I
considered leaving them on as a breadcrumb that would show what the intended
type was for that operand. Unfortunately the operands can be referred to in
code templates, the Mem operand in particular, and since the exact type of Mem
can be different for different uses of the same template, that broke things.
This single parameter replaces the collection of bools that set up various
flavors of microops. A flag parameter also allows other flags to be set like
the serialize before/after flags, etc., without having to change the
constructor.
