This patch extends the current address interleaving with basic hashing
support. Instead of directly comparing a number of address bits with a
matching value, it is now possible to use two independent set of
address bits XOR'ed together. This avoids issues where strided address
patterns are heavily biased to a subset of the interleaved ranges.
|
|
The new location seems like a better fit. The iterator typedefs are
removed in favour of using C++11 auto.
|
|
The validity check is being changed from < to <= since the end of the range
is considered to be a part of it.
|
|
This patch fixes a bug in the granularity calculation. For example, if
the high bit is 6 (counting from 0) and we have one interleaving bit,
then the granularity is now 2 ** (6 - 1 + 1) = 64.
|
|
This patch fixes a bug in the address range granularity
calculations. Previously it incorrectly used the high bit to establish
the size of the regions created, when it should really be looking at
the low bit.
|
|
This patch fixes a minor (but important) typo in the matching of an
address to an interleaved range.
|
|
This patch adds support for merging a vector of interleaved address
ranges into a contigous range. The functionality will be used in the
interconnect and the PhysicalMemory to transform interleaved memory
ranges to contigous ranges before passing them on.
The actual use of the merging is appearing in future patches.

This patch adds support for interleaving bits for the address
ranges. What was previously just a start and end address, now has an
additional three fields, for the high bit, and number of bits to use
for interleaving, and a match value to compare against. If the number
of interleaving bits is set to zero it is effectively disabled.
A number of convenience functions are added to the range to enquire
about the interleaving, its granularity and the number of stripes it
is part of.

This patch makes the start and end address private in a move to
prevent direct manipulation and matching of ranges based on these
fields. This is done so that a transition to ranges with interleaving
support is possible.
As a result of hiding the start and end, a number of member functions
are needed to perform the comparisons and manipulations that
previously took place directly on the members. An accessor function is
provided for the start address, and a function is added to test if an
address is within a range. As a result of the latter the != and ==
operator is also removed in favour of the member function. A member
function that returns a string representation is also created to allow
debug printing.
In general, this patch does not add any functionality, but it does
take us closer to a situation where interleaving (and more cleverness)
can be added under the bonnet without exposing it to the user. More on
that in a later patch.

This patch transitions the bus to use the AddrRange operations instead
of directly accessing the start and end. The change facilitates the
move to a more elaborate AddrRange class that also supports address
striping in the bus by specifying interleaving bits in the ranges.
Two new functions are added to the AddrRange to determine if two
ranges intersect, and if one is a subset of another. The bus
propagation of address ranges is also tweaked such that an update is
only propagated if the bus received information from all the
downstream slave modules. This avoids the iteration and need for the
cycle-breaking scheme that was previously used.

This patch takes the final plunge and transitions from the templated
Range class to the more specific AddrRange. In doing so it changes the
obvious Range<Addr> to AddrRange, and also bumps the range_map to be
AddrRangeMap.
In addition to the obvious changes, including the removal of redundant
includes, this patch also does some house keeping in preparing for the
introduction of address interleaving support in the ranges. The Range
class is also stripped of all the functionality that is never used.
