Change how memory operands are handled in ISA descriptions.
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.
