Check in of various updates to the CPU. Mainly adds in stats, improves
branch prediction, and makes memory dependence work properly. SConscript: Added return address stack, tournament predictor. cpu/base_cpu.cc: Added debug break and print statements. cpu/base_dyn_inst.cc: cpu/base_dyn_inst.hh: Comment out possibly unneeded variables. cpu/beta_cpu/2bit_local_pred.cc: 2bit predictor no longer speculatively updates itself. cpu/beta_cpu/alpha_dyn_inst.hh: Comment formatting. cpu/beta_cpu/alpha_full_cpu.hh: Formatting cpu/beta_cpu/alpha_full_cpu_builder.cc: Added new parameters for branch predictors, and IQ parameters. cpu/beta_cpu/alpha_full_cpu_impl.hh: Register stats. cpu/beta_cpu/alpha_params.hh: Added parameters for IQ, branch predictors, and store sets. cpu/beta_cpu/bpred_unit.cc: Removed one class. cpu/beta_cpu/bpred_unit.hh: Add in RAS, stats. Changed branch predictor unit functionality so that it holds a history of past branches so it can update, and also hold a proper history of the RAS so it can be restored on branch mispredicts. cpu/beta_cpu/bpred_unit_impl.hh: Added in stats, history of branches, RAS. Now bpred unit actually modifies the instruction's predicted next PC. cpu/beta_cpu/btb.cc: Add in sanity checks. cpu/beta_cpu/comm.hh: Add in communication where needed, remove it where it's not. cpu/beta_cpu/commit.hh: cpu/beta_cpu/rename.hh: cpu/beta_cpu/rename_impl.hh: Add in stats. cpu/beta_cpu/commit_impl.hh: Stats, update what is sent back on branch mispredict. cpu/beta_cpu/cpu_policy.hh: Change the bpred unit being used. cpu/beta_cpu/decode.hh: cpu/beta_cpu/decode_impl.hh: Stats. cpu/beta_cpu/fetch.hh: Stats, change squash so it can handle squashes from decode differently than squashes from commit. cpu/beta_cpu/fetch_impl.hh: Add in stats. Change how a cache line is fetched. Update to work with caches. Also have separate functions for different behavior if squash is coming from decode vs commit. cpu/beta_cpu/free_list.hh: Remove some old comments. cpu/beta_cpu/full_cpu.cc: cpu/beta_cpu/full_cpu.hh: Added function to remove instructions from back of instruction list until a certain sequence number. cpu/beta_cpu/iew.hh: Stats, separate squashing behavior due to branches vs memory. cpu/beta_cpu/iew_impl.hh: Stats, separate squashing behavior for branches vs memory. cpu/beta_cpu/inst_queue.cc: Debug stuff cpu/beta_cpu/inst_queue.hh: Stats, change how mem dep unit works, debug stuff cpu/beta_cpu/inst_queue_impl.hh: Stats, change how mem dep unit works, debug stuff. Also add in parameters that used to be hardcoded. cpu/beta_cpu/mem_dep_unit.hh: cpu/beta_cpu/mem_dep_unit_impl.hh: Add in stats, change how memory dependence unit works. It now holds the memory instructions that are waiting for their memory dependences to resolve. It provides which instructions are ready directly to the IQ. cpu/beta_cpu/regfile.hh: Fix up sanity checks. cpu/beta_cpu/rename_map.cc: Fix loop variable type. cpu/beta_cpu/rob_impl.hh: Remove intermediate DynInstPtr cpu/beta_cpu/store_set.cc: Add in debugging statements. cpu/beta_cpu/store_set.hh: Reorder function arguments to match the rest of the calls. --HG-- extra : convert_revision : aabf9b1fecd1d743265dfc3b174d6159937c6f44
