Also:
* update dependencies.
* add amaranth-soc as a dependency, in order to reuse its bus
interfaces (e.g. Wishbone).
* add a `prog` argument to PowerFVSession that overrides the name of
its CLI.
* A PowerFVSession class provides a REPL interface. Functionality is
split into commands (e.g. add checks, build) which can be provided
interactively or from a file.
See cores/microwatt for an example of its integration.
* Instruction specifications are now separated from verification
testbenches.
An InsnSpec class provides a behavioral model using the same PowerFV
interface as a core. This interface is output-only for a core, but
bidirectional for the InsnSpec:
- fields related to context (e.g. read data) are inputs,
- fields related to side-effects (e.g. write strobes) are outputs.
The testbench is responsible for driving inputs to the same values
as the core, then check outputs for equivalence. This decoupling
provides a path towards using PowerFV in simulation.
* Instruction encodings are now defined by their fields, not their
format (which was problematic e.g. X-form has dozens of variants).
Field declarations can be preset to a value, or left undefined. In
the latter case, they are implicitly cast to AnyConst (which is
useful for arbitrary values like immediates).
* Use bitmasks to describe SPR accesses at the field granularity.
* Use separate checks for each SPR, instead of covering them all at
once. Users may run them in the same batch, and know which SPR passes
or fails its check.
We don't use it currently; we just assume the sync domain is under
reset at the beginning of the BMC.
Also, fix a regression in the cycle counter introduced by 9ea58a47.
* Checks are now split in two modules: checks.cons for consistency
checks, checks.insn for instructions.
* Checks are derived from PowerFVCheck and have a shorthand (e.g.
"insn_b"). PowerFVCheck holds a mapping between its subclasses and
their shorthands.
* Instruction checks definitions have been simplified to one-liners,
and grouped into a single file.
* A Trigger class has been added to define testbench triggers.
- remove check for undefined mnemonics (afaiu, their BO value isn't illegal).
- add check for illegal bcctr/bcctrl forms (with BO(2) = 0).
- fix target offset for branches to LR/CTR/TAR.
- use MSR.SF to check the upper bits of target addresses.
