This patch makes all the register index flattening methods const for
all the ISAs. As part of this, readMiscRegNoEffect for ARM is also
made const.
|
|
With ARMv8 support the same misc register id results in accessing different
registers depending on the current mode of the processor. This patch adds
the same orthogonality to the misc register file as the others (int, float, cc).
For all the othre ISAs this is currently a null-implementation.
Additionally, a system variable is added to all the ISA objects.
|
|
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.

Fix the ISA startup warnings
|

The changes made by the changeset 9376 were not quite correct. The patch made
changes to the code which resulted in decoder not getting initialized correctly
when the state was restored from a checkpoint.
This patch adds a startup function to each ISA object. For x86, this function
sets the required state in the decoder. For other ISAs, the function is empty
right now.

After making the ISA an independent SimObject, it is serialized
automatically by the Python world. Previously, this just resulted in
an empty ISA section. This patch moves the contents of the ISA to that
section and removes the explicit ISA serialization from the thread
contexts, which makes it behave like a normal SimObject during
serialization.
Note: This patch breaks checkpoint backwards compatibility! Use the
cpt_upgrader.py utility to upgrade old checkpoints to the new format.

The ISA class on stores the contents of ID registers on many
architectures. In order to make reset values of such registers
configurable, we make the class inherit from SimObject, which allows
us to use the normal generated parameter headers.
This patch introduces a Python helper method, BaseCPU.createThreads(),
which creates a set of ISAs for each of the threads in an SMT
system. Although it is currently only needed when creating
multi-threaded CPUs, it should always be called before instantiating
the system as this is an obvious place to configure ID registers
identifying a thread/CPU.

This gets rid of cryptic bits of code with lots of bit manipulation, and makes
some comments redundant.

Also make it not set some pointers to NULL potentially introducing a memory
leak. That should be done in the constructor.

Using a look up table changed the run time of the SPARC_FS solaris boot
regression from:
real 14m45.951s
user 13m57.528s
sys 0m3.452s
to:
real 12m19.777s
user 12m2.685s
sys 0m2.420s

This object encapsulates (or will eventually) the identity and characteristics
of the ISA in the CPU.
