This allows the templates to all be available at the same time before any of
the formats, etc. This breaks an artificial circular dependence.

This isn't technically correct since the .w should only be added if there are
32 and 16 bit encodings, but always having it always is better than never
having it.
Further cleanup should probably be done to make this class be non-Ruby
specific and put it in src/base.
There are probably several cases where this class is used, std::bitset
could be used instead.
Suppose the saturating counters of a branch predictor contain n bits. When the
counter is between 0 and (2^(n-1) - 1), boundaries included, the branch is
predicted as not taken. When the counter is between 2^(n-1) and (2^n - 1),
boundaries included, the branch is predicted as taken.
Time from base/time.hh has a name clash with Time from Ruby's
TypeDefines.hh. Eventually Ruby's Time should go away, so instead of
fixing this properly just try to avoid the clash.
When doing an unsigned 64 bit division with a divisor that has its most
significant bit set, the division code would spill a bit off of the end of a
uint64_t trying to shift the dividend into position. This change adds code
that handles that case specially by purposefully letting it spill and then
going ahead assuming there was a 65th one bit.
This causes builds to happen in sorted order rather than in
declaration order. This gets annoying when you make a global change
and then you notice that the files that are being compiled are jumping
around the directory hierarchy.
when insts execute, they mark the time they finish to be used for subsequent isnts
they may need forwarding of data. However, the regdepmap was using the wrong
value to index into the destination operands of the instruction to be forwarded.
Thus, in some cases, we are checking to see if the 3rd destination register
for an instruction is executed at a certain time, when there is only 1 dest. register
valid. Thus, we get a bad, uninitialized time value that will stall forwarding
causing performance loss but still the correct execution.
- Make the initialized flag always available, not just in debug mode.
- Make the Initialized flag actually use several bits so it is very
unlikely that something that's uninitialized accidentally looks
initialized.
- Add an initialized() function that tells you if the current event is
indeed initialized.
- Clear the flags on delete so it can't be accidentally thought of as
initialized.
- Fix getFlags assert statement. "How did this ever work?"
Symbolic names should still be used, but this makes it easier to do
things like:
Event::Priority MyObject_Pri = Event::Default_Pri + 1
Remember that higher numbers are lower priority (should we fix this?)
In addition to obvious changes, this required a slight change to the slicc
grammar to allow types with :: in them. Otherwise slicc barfs on std::string
which we need for the headers that slicc generates.
make sure to only read 1 src reg. for write-hint and any other similar
'store' instruction. Reading the source reg when its not necessary
can cause the simulator to read from uninitialized values
These recordEvent() calls could cause crashes since they
access the req pointer after it's potentially been
deleted during a failed translation call. (Similar
problem to the traceData bug fixed in the previous cset.)
Moving them above the translation call (as was done
recentlyi in cset 8b2b8e5e7d35) avoids the crash
but doesn't work, since at that point we don't know if
the access is uncached or not.
It's not clear why these calls are there, and no one
seems to use them, so we'll just delete them. If they
are needed, they should be moved to somewhere that's
guaranteed to be after the translation completes but
before the request is possibly deleted, e.g., in
finishTranslation().
Accessing traceData (to call setAddress() and/or setData())
after initiating a timing translation was causing crashes,
since a failed translation could delete the traceData
object before returning.
It turns out that there was never a need to access traceData
after initiating the translation, as the traced data was
always available earlier; this ordering was merely
historical. Furthermore, traceData->setAddress() and
traceData->setData() were being called both from the CPU
model and the ISA definition, often redundantly.
This patch standardizes all setAddress and setData calls
for memory instructions to be in the CPU models and not
in the ISA definition. It also moves those calls above
the translation calls to eliminate the crashes.
