This changes the way GPR hazards are detected and tracked. Instead of
having a model of the pipeline in gpr_hazard.vhdl, which has to mirror
the behaviour of the real pipeline exactly, we now assign a 2-bit tag
to each instruction and record which GSPR the instruction writes.
Subsequent instructions that need to use the GSPR get the tag number
and stall until the value with that tag is being written back to the
register file.
For now, the forwarding paths are disabled. That gives about a 8%
reduction in coremark performance.

This adds a true random number generator for the Xilinx FPGAs which
uses a set of chaotic ring oscillators to generate random bits and
then passes them through a Linear Hybrid Cellular Automaton (LHCA) to
remove bias, as described in "High Speed True Random Number Generators
in Xilinx FPGAs" by Catalin Baetoniu of Xilinx Inc., in:
https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/83ac/9e9c1bb3dad5180654984604c8d5d8137412.pdf
This requires adding a .xdc file to tell vivado that the combinatorial
loops that form the ring oscillators are intentional. The same
code should work on other FPGAs as well if their tools can be told to
accept the combinatorial loops.
For simulation, the random.vhdl module gets compiled in, which uses
the pseudorand() function to generate random numbers.
Synthesis using yosys uses nonrandom.vhdl, which always signals an
error, causing darn to return 0xffff_ffff_ffff_ffff.
This adds an implementation of the darn instruction. Darn can return
either raw or conditioned random numbers. On Xilinx FPGAs, reading a
raw random number gives the output of the ring oscillators, and
reading a conditioned random number gives the output of the LHCA.

This allows these targets
FPGA_TARGET=ORANGE-CRAB make microwatt.bit
FPGA_TARGET=ECP5-EVN make microwatt.bit
Default is ORANGE-CRAB as before
ECP5-EVN is tested on real hardware. The console only works at 38400 so
needs this in console.c and a recompile of hello_world to work:
-#define UART_FREQ 115200
+#define UART_FREQ 38400
With this 'FPGA_TARGET=ECP5-EVN make prog' works on the ECP5 dev board.

This is useful to specify "-noflatten" which helps CI stay under 8GB
limit.
Normally the AUTONAME stage of yosys will take around 10GB if
operating on the whole design. With -noflatten, AUTONAME occurs only
per VHDL entity, so only consumes around 3GB of memory. This gets us
under the limitations on github actions.

nextpnr will leave an output file around even when it errors out, so

The fetch2 stage existed primarily to provide a stash buffer for the
output of icache when a stall occurred. However, we can get the same
effect -- of having the input to decode1 stay unchanged on a stall
cycle -- by using the read enable of the BRAMs in icache, and by
adding logic to keep the outputs unchanged on a clock cycle when
stall_in = 1. This reduces branch and interrupt latency by one
cycle.

This require the s25fl128s.vhd flash model and FMF libraries,
which will be built when passed to the Makefile via the
FLASH_MODEL_PATH argument. Otherwise a dummy module is used
which ties MISO to '1'.

at this point, but it can be obtained from

The rewrite of the Makefile to use "ghdl -c" somewhat broke building
the unisim library as ghdl doesn't yet support putting files in
separate libraries from a single command line invocation.
The workaround at the time was to put the entire project in "unisim"
which is ... weird and will break if we try to add another library
such as fmf.
This fixes it by generating the library separately using "ghdl -i"

Support for this has bitrotted and would require refactoring of L2 to
be brought back. It's also not really needed anymore now that we ship
pre-generated litedram and that LiteX supports what we do.
So take it out, which simplifies some of the scripts as well. This also
fixes up CSR alignment the sim model.

This adds a cache between the wishbone and litedram with the following
features (at this point, it's still evolving)
- 128 bytes line width in order to have a reasonable amount of
litedram pipelining on the 128-bit wide data port.
- Configurable geometry otherwise
- Stores are acked immediately on wishbone whether hit or miss
(minus a 2 cycles delay if there's a previous load response in the
way) and sent to LiteDRAM via 8 entries (configurable) store queue

This adds a simulated litedram model along with the necessary
Makefile gunk to verilate it and wrap it for use by ghdl.
The core_dram_tb test bench is a variant of core_tb with
LiteDRAM simulated. It's not built by default, an explicit
make core_dram_tb
is necessary as to not require verilator to be installed for
the normal build process (also it's slow'ish).

This adds a new module to implement an MMU. At the moment it doesn't
do very much. Tlbie instructions now get sent by loadstore1 to mmu,
which sends them to dcache, rather than loadstore1 sending them
directly to dcache. TLB misses from dcache now get sent by loadstore1
to mmu, which currently just returns an error. Loadstore1 then
generates a DSI in response to the error return from mmu.

This comes in two parts:
- A generator script which uses LiteX to generate litedram cores
along with their init files for various boards (currently Arty and
Nexys-video). This comes with configs for arty and nexys_video.
- A fusesoc "generator" which uses pre-generated litedram cores
The generation process is manual on purpose. This include pre-generated
cores for the two above boards.
This is done so that one doesn't have to install LiteX to build
microwatt. In addition, the generator script or wrapper vhdl tend to
break when LiteX changes significantly which happens.
This is still rather standalone and hasn't been plumbed into the SoC
or the FPGA toplevel files yet.
At this point LiteDRAM self-initializes using a built-in VexRiscv
"Minimum" core obtained from LiteX and included in this commit. There
is some plumbing to generate and cores that are initialized by Microwatt
directly but this isn't working yet and so isn't enabled yet.

In preparation for adding a TLB to the dcache, this plumbs the
insn_type from execute1 through to loadstore1, so that we can have
other operations besides loads and stores (e.g. tlbie) going to
loadstore1 and thence to the dcache. This also plumbs the unit field
of the decode ROM from decode2 through to execute1 to simplify the
logic around which ops need to go to loadstore1.
The load and store data formatting are now not conditional on the
op being OP_LOAD or OP_STORE. This eliminates the inferred latches
clocked by each of the bits of r.op that we were getting previously.
