2013-10-15	cpu: add a condition-code register class	Yasuko Eckert
	Add a third register class for condition codes, in parallel with the integer and FP classes. No ISAs use the CC class at this point though.
2013-10-15	cpu: rename _DepTag constants to _Reg_Base	Steve Reinhardt
	Make these names more meaningful. Specifically, made these substitutions: s/FP_Base_DepTag/FP_Reg_Base/g; s/Ctrl_Base_DepTag/Misc_Reg_Base/g; s/Max_DepTag/Max_Reg_Index/g;
2013-10-15	isa: clean up register constants	Steve Reinhardt
	Clean up and add some consistency to the *_Base_DepTag constants as well as some related register constants: - Get rid of NumMiscArchRegs, TotalArchRegs, and TotalDataRegs since they're never used and not always defined - Set FP_Base_DepTag = NumIntRegs when possible (i.e., every case except x86) - Set Ctrl_Base_DepTag = FP_Base_DepTag + NumFloatRegs (this was true before, but wasn't always expressed that way) - Drastically reduce the number of arbitrary constants appearing in these calculations
2012-06-05	O3: Clean up the O3 structures and try to pack them a bit better.	Ali Saidi
	DynInst is extremely large the hope is that this re-organization will put the most used members close to each other.
2012-04-23	ISA: Put parser generated files in a "generated" directory.	Gabe Black
	This is to avoid collision with non-generated files.
2012-01-12	mips: definition of MIPS64_QNAN in registers.hh	Deyuan Guo

2010-08-25	ARM: Fixed register flattening logic (FP_Base_DepTag was set too low)	Min Kyu Jeong
	When decoding a srs instruction, invalid mode encoding returns invalid instruction. This can happen when garbage instructions are fetched from mispredicted path
2009-12-31	MIPS: Create an artificial control register to hold the thread pointer.	Gabe Black
	In Linux, the set_thread_area system call stores the address of the thread local storage area into a field of the current thread_info structure. Later, to access that value, the program uses the rdhwr instruction to read a "hardware register" with index 29. The 64 bit MIPS manual, volume II, says that index 29 is reserved for a future ABI extension and should cause a "Reserved Instruction Exception". In Linux (and potentially other ISAs) that exception is trapped and emulated to return the value stored by set_thread_area as if that were actually stored by a physical register. The tp_value address (as named in the Linux kernel) is ironically stored as a control register so that it goes with a particular ThreadContext. Syscall emulation will use that to emulate storing to the OS's thread info structure, and rdhwr will emulate faulting and returning that value from software by returning the value itself, as if it was in hardware. In other words, we fake faking the register in SE mode. In an FS mode implementation it should work as specified in the manual.
2009-07-21	MIPS: Format the register index constants like the other ISAs.	Gabe Black
	Also a few more style fixes.
2009-07-08	Registers: Add a registers.hh file as an ISA switched header.	Gabe Black
	This file is for register indices, Num* constants, and register types. copyRegs and copyMiscRegs were moved to utility.hh and utility.cc. --HG-- rename : src/arch/alpha/regfile.hh => src/arch/alpha/registers.hh rename : src/arch/arm/regfile.hh => src/arch/arm/registers.hh rename : src/arch/mips/regfile.hh => src/arch/mips/registers.hh rename : src/arch/sparc/regfile.hh => src/arch/sparc/registers.hh rename : src/arch/x86/regfile.hh => src/arch/x86/registers.hh
