Instead of connecting core_alt_reset to litedram init_done, it moves to

The IO bridge would latch the top half of write data and selection signals
when issuing the second downstream store. Unfortunately at this point the
bridge has already "accepted" the upstream store from the core (due to
stall being 0 on the cycle when stb/cyc are 1), so the values on the
wishbone signals aren't stable and might already reflect a subsequent
wishbone command.
This causes occasional data corruption of 64-bit stores through the IO
bridge.
While at it, take out a bunch of useless conditions on the data latch
path. It doesn't matter whether we is 0 or 1, we can just always latch
the data, the destination will decide whether to use the content or not,
which should save a bit of hardware.

Now that we have a 33 bit x 33 bit signed multiplier in execute1,
there is really no need for the 16 bit multiplier. The coremark
results are just as good without it as with it. This removes the
option for the sake of simplicity.

This generates a series of io_cycle_* signals which are clean latches
and which become the 'cyc' signals of the wishbone buses going to
various peripherals (syscon, uarts, XICS, GPIO, etc.). Effectively
this is done by moving the address decoding into the slave_io_latch
process. The slave_io_type, which drives the multiplexer which
selects which wishbone to look for a response on, is reduced to just 8
values in the expectation that an 8-way multiplexer will use less
logic than one with more than 8 inputs.
With this timing is considerably better on the A7-100T.

This makes the 64-bit wishbone buses have the address expressed in
units of doublewords (64 bits), and similarly for the 32-bit buses the
address is in units of words (32 bits). This is to comply with the
wishbone spec. Previously the addresses on the wishbone buses were in
units of bytes regardless of the bus data width, which is not correct
and caused problems with interfacing with externally-generated logic.

This adds an optional 16 bit x 16 bit signed multiplier and uses it
for multiply instructions that return the low 64 bits of the product
(mull[dw][o] and mulli, but not maddld) when the operands are both in
the range -2^15 .. 2^15 - 1. The "short" 16-bit multiplier produces
its result combinatorially, so a multiply that uses it executes in one
cycle. This improves the coremark result by about 4%, since coremark
does quite a lot of multiplies and they almost all have operands that
fit into 16 bits.
The presence of the short multiplier is controlled by a generic at the
execute1, SOC, core and top levels. For now, it defaults to off for
all platforms, and can be enabled using the --has_short_mult flag to
fusesoc.

This adds litesdcard.v generated from the litex/litesdcard project,
along with logic in top-arty.vhdl to connect it into the system.
There is now a DMA wishbone coming in to soc.vhdl which is narrower
than the other wishbone masters (it has 32-bit data rather than
64-bit) so there is a widening/narrowing adapter between it and the
main wishbone master arbiter.
Also, litesdcard generates a non-pipelined wishbone for its DMA
connection, which needs to be converted to a pipelined wishbone. We
have a latch on both the incoming and outgoing sides of the wishbone
in order to help make timing (at the cost of two extra cycles of
latency).
litesdcard generates an interrupt signal which is wired up to input 3
of the ICS (IRQ 19).

This adds a path where the wishbone that goes out to memory and I/O
also gets fed back to the dcache, which looks for writes that it
didn't initiate, and invalidates any cache line that gets written to.
This involves a second read port on the cache tag RAM for looking up
the snooped writes, and effectively a second write port on the cache
valid bit array to clear bits corresponding to snoop hits.

This adds a GPIO controller which provides 32 bits of I/O. The
registers are modelled on the set used by the gpio-ftgpio010.c driver
in the Linux kernel. Currently there is no interrupt capability
implemented, though an interrupt line from the GPIO subsystem to the
XICS has been connected.
For the Arty A7 board, GPIO lines 0 to 13 are connected to the pins
labelled IO0 to IO13 on the "shield" connector, GPIO lines 14 to 29
connect to IO26 to IO41, GPIO line 30 connects to the pin labelled A
(aka IO42), and GPIO line 31 is connected to LED 7.

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.

cause a FP unavailable interrupt if MSR[FP] = 0.

Make the core go faster
Several major improvements in here:
- Simple branch predictor
- Reduced latency for mispredicted branches and interrupts by removing fetch2 stage
- Cache improvements
o Request critical dword first on refill
o Handle hits while refilling, including on line being refilled
o Sizes doubled for both D and I
- Loadstore improvements: can now do one load or store every two cycles in most cases
- Optimized 2-cycle multiplier for Xilinx 7-series parts using DSP slices
- Timing improvements, including:
o Stash buffer in decode1
o Reduced width of execute1 result mux
o Improved SPR decode in decode1
o Some non-critical operation take a cycle longer so we can break some long combinatorial chains
- Core logging: logs 256 bits of info every cycle into a ring buffer, to help with debugging and performance analysis
This increases the LUT usage for the "synth" + A35 target from 9182 to 10297 = 12%.
This plumbs the LOG_LENGTH parameter (which controls how many entries
the core log RAM has) up to the top level so that it can be set on
the fusesoc command line and have different default values on
different FPGAs.
It now defaults to 512 entries generally and on the Artix-7 35 parts,
and 2048 on the larger Artix-7 FPGAs. It can be set to 0 if desired.

This makes the control bus currently going out of "soc" towards
litedram more generic for external IO devices added by the
top-level rather than inside the SoC proper.

the external IOs.
We make the region 0xc8nn_nnnn be the "external IO" region for

They hurt timing forcing signals to come from the master and back

is an active cycle so masking it with cyc is pointless. Masking acks
is somewhat pointless too as we don't handle early dropping of cyc
in any of our slaves properly anyways.

This adds an SPI flash controller which supports direct
memory-mapped access to the flash along with a manual
mode to send commands.
The direct mode can be set via generic to default to single
wire or quad mode. The controller supports normal, dual and quad
accesses with configurable commands, clock divider, dummy clocks
etc...
The SPI clock can be an even divider of sys_clk starting at 2
(so max 50Mhz with our typical Arty designs).
A flash offset is carried via generics to syscon to tell SW about
which portion of the flash is reserved for the FPGA bitfile. There
is currently no plumbing to make the CPU reset past that address (TBD).
Note: Operating at 50Mhz has proven unreliable without adding some
delay to the sampling of the input data. I'm working in improving
this, in the meantime, I'm leaving the default set at 25 Mhz.

This changes the SoC interconnect such that the main 64-bit wishbone out
of the processor is first split between only 3 slaves (BRAM, DRAM and a
general "IO" bus) instead of all the slaves in the SoC.
The IO bus leg is then latched and down-converted to 32 bits data width,
before going through a second address decoder for the various IO devices.
This significantly reduces routing and timing pressure on the main bus,
allowing to get rid of frequent timing violations when synthetizing on
small'ish FPGAs such as the Artix-7 35T found on the original Arty board.
