2006-02-11Add keyword parameters and list-valued arguments toSteve Reinhardt
instruction format functions in ISA description language. Take advantage of these features to clean up memory instruction definitions in Alpha. arch/alpha/isa/decoder.isa: arch/alpha/isa/mem.isa: arch/alpha/isa/pal.isa: Take advantage of new keyword parameters to disambiguate instruction vs. memory-request flags, and to provide a default EA calculation for memory ops (since 99% of them are the same). arch/isa_parser.py: Add two new features to instruction format functions: - Keyword parameters, a la Python. - List-valued arguments. Also export makeList() function to Python code blocks, as this is handy for dealing with flags. --HG-- extra : convert_revision : 99bbbaa2e765230aa96b6a06ed193793325f9fb0
2006-02-10Change how memory operands are handled in ISA descriptions.Steve Reinhardt
Should enable implementation of split-phase timing loads with new memory model. May create slight timing differences under FullCPU, as I believe we were not handling software prefetches correctly before when the split MemAcc/Exec model was used. I haven't looked into this in any detail though. arch/alpha/isa/decoder.isa: HwLoadStore format split into separate HwLoad and HwStore formats. Copy instructions now fall under MiscPrefetch format. Mem_write_result is now just write_result in store conditionals. arch/alpha/isa/mem.isa: Split MemAccExecute and LoadStoreExecute templates into separate templates for loads and stores; now that memory operands are handled differently from registers, it's impossible to have a single template serve both. Also unified the handling of "regular" prefetches (loads to r31) and "misc" prefetches (e.g., wh64) under the new scheme. It looks like SW prefetches were not handled correctly in FullCPU up til now, since we generated an execute() method for the outer instruction but didn't generate a proper method for MemAcc::execute() (instead getting a default no-op method for that). arch/alpha/isa/pal.isa: Split HwLoadStore into separate HwLoad and HwStore formats to select proper template (see change to mem.isa in this changeset). arch/isa_parser.py: Stop trying to treat memory operands like register operands, since we never used them in a uniform way anyway, and it made it impossible to do split-phase loads as needed for the new CPU model. Now there's no more 'op_mem_rd', 'op_nonmem_rd', etc.: 'op_rd' just does register operands, and the template code is responsible for formulating the call to the memory system. Right now the only thing exported by InstObjParams is a new attribute 'mem_acc_size' which gives the memory access size in bits, though more attributes can be added if needed. Also moved code in findOperands() method to OperandDescriptorList.__init__(), which is where it belongs. --HG-- extra : convert_revision : 6d53d07e0c5e828455834ded4395fa40f9146a34
2006-02-09Split Alpha ISA description into multiple filesSteve Reinhardt
(thanks to Gabe's include feature!). arch/alpha/isa/main.isa: Split out into multiple .isa files. --HG-- extra : convert_revision : 30d8edf74ea194d4a208febf1e66edc72a7dbd5d
