fetch1: Implement a simple branch target cache This implements a cache in fetch1, where each entry stores the address of a simple branch instruction (b or bc) and the target of the branch. When fetching sequentially, if the address being fetched matches the cache entry, then fetching will be redirected to the branch target. The cache has 1024 entries and is direct-mapped, i.e. indexed by bits 11..2 of the NIA. The bus from execute1 now carries information about taken and not-taken simple branches, which fetch1 uses to update the cache. The cache entry is updated for both taken and not-taken branches, with the valid bit being set if the branch was taken and cleared if the branch was not taken. If fetching is redirected to the branch target then that goes down the pipe as a predicted-taken branch, and decode1 does not do any static branch prediction. If fetching is not redirected, then the next instruction goes down the pipe as normal and decode1 does its static branch prediction. In order to make timing, the lookup of the cache is pipelined, so on each cycle the cache entry for the current NIA + 8 is read. This means that after a redirect (from decode1 or execute1), only the third and subsequent sequentially-fetched instructions will be able to be predicted. This improves the coremark value on the Arty A7-100 from about 180 to about 190 (more than 5%). The BTC is optional. Builds for the Artix 7 35-T part have it off by default because the extra ~1420 LUTs it takes mean that the design doesn't fit on the Arty A7-35 board.

The cache has 1024 entries and is direct-mapped, i.e. indexed by bits 11..2 of the NIA. The bus from execute1 now carries information about taken and not-taken simple branches, which fetch1 uses to update the cache. The cache entry is updated for both taken and not-taken branches, with the valid bit being set if the branch was taken and cleared if the branch was not taken. If fetching is redirected to the branch target then that goes down the pipe as a predicted-taken branch, and decode1 does not do any static branch prediction. If fetching is not redirected, then the next instruction goes down the pipe as normal and decode1 does its static branch prediction. In order to make timing, the lookup of the cache is pipelined, so on each cycle the cache entry for the current NIA + 8 is read. This means that after a redirect (from decode1 or execute1), only the third and subsequent sequentially-fetched instructions will be able to be predicted. This improves the coremark value on the Arty A7-100 from about 180 to about 190 (more than 5%). The BTC is optional. Builds for the Artix 7 35-T part have it off by default because the extra ~1420 LUTs it takes mean that the design doesn't fit on the Arty A7-35 board.

Add TLB to icache This adds a direct-mapped TLB to the icache, with 64 entries by default. Execute1 now sends a "virt_mode" signal from MSR[IR] to fetch1 along with redirects to indicate whether instruction addresses should be translated through the TLB, and fetch1 sends that on to icache. Similarly a "priv_mode" signal is sent to indicate the privilege mode for instruction fetches. This means that changes to MSR[IR] or MSR[PR] don't take effect until the next redirect, meaning an isync, rfid, branch, etc. The icache uses a hash of the effective address (i.e. next instruction address) to index the TLB. The hash is an XOR of three fields of the address; with a 64-entry TLB, the fields are bits 12--17, 18--23 and 24--29 of the address. TLB invalidations simply invalidate the indexed TLB entry without checking the contents. If the icache detects a TLB miss with virt_mode=1, it will send a fetch_failed indication through fetch2 to decode1, which will turn it into a special OP_FETCH_FAILED opcode with unit=LDST. That will get sent down to loadstore1 which will currently just raise a Instruction Storage Interrupt (0x400) exception. One bit in the PTE obtained from the TLB is used to check whether an instruction access is allowed -- the privilege bit (bit 3). If bit 3 is 1 and priv_mode=0, then a fetch_failed indication is sent down to fetch2 and to decode1, which generates an OP_FETCH_FAILED. Any PTEs with PTE bit 0 (EAA[3]) clear or bit 8 (R) clear should not be put into the iTLB since such PTEs would not allow execution by any context. Tlbie operations get sent from mmu to icache over a new connection. Unfortunately the privileged instruction tests are broken for now. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>
