2016-04-05	cpu: Implement per-thread GHRs	Mitch Hayenga
	Branch predictors that use GHRs should index them on a per-thread basis. This makes that so. This is a re-spin of fb51231 after the revert (bd1c6789).
2016-04-05	cpu: Add an indirect branch target predictor	Mitch Hayenga
	This patch adds a configurable indirect branch predictor that can be indexed by a combination of GHR and path history hashes. Implements the functionality described in: "Target prediction for indirect jumps" by Chang, Hao, and Patt http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=264209 This is a re-spin of fb9d142 after the revert (bd1c6789).
2016-04-05	cpu: Fix BTB threading oversight	Mitch Hayenga
	The extant BTB code doesn't hash on the thread id but does check the thread id for 'btb hits'. This results in 1-thread of a multi-threaded workload taking a BTB entry, and all other threads missing for the same branch missing.
2016-04-06	Revert power patch sets with unexpected interactions	Andreas Sandberg
	The following patches had unexpected interactions with the current upstream code and have been reverted for now: e07fd01651f3: power: Add support for power models 831c7f2f9e39: power: Low-power idle power state for idle CPUs 4f749e00b667: power: Add power states to ClockedObject Signed-off-by: Andreas Sandberg <andreas.sandberg@arm.com> --HG-- extra : amend_source : 0b6fb073c6bbc24be533ec431eb51fbf1b269508

2013-01-24	branch predictor: move out of o3 and inorder cpus	Nilay Vaish ext:(%2C%20Timothy%20Jones%20%3Ctimothy.jones%40cl.cam.ac.uk%3E)
	This patch moves the branch predictor files in the o3 and inorder directories to src/cpu/pred. This allows sharing the branch predictor across different cpu models. This patch was originally posted by Timothy Jones in July 2010 but never made it to the repository. --HG-- rename : src/cpu/o3/bpred_unit.cc => src/cpu/pred/bpred_unit.cc rename : src/cpu/o3/bpred_unit.hh => src/cpu/pred/bpred_unit.hh rename : src/cpu/o3/bpred_unit_impl.hh => src/cpu/pred/bpred_unit_impl.hh rename : src/cpu/o3/sat_counter.hh => src/cpu/pred/sat_counter.hh
