core: Implement a simple branch predictor
This implements a simple branch predictor in the decode1 stage. If it
sees that the instruction is b or bc and the branch is predicted to be
taken, it sends a flush and redirect upstream (to icache and fetch1)
to redirect fetching to the branch target. The prediction is sent
downstream with the branch instruction, and execute1 now only sends
a flush/redirect upstream if the prediction was wrong. Unconditional
branches are always predicted to be taken, and conditional branches
are predicted to be taken if and only if the offset is negative.
Branches that take the branch address from a register (bclr, bcctr)
are predicted not taken, as we don't have any way to predict the
branch address.
Since we can now have a mflr being executed immediately after a bl
or bcl, we now track the update to LR in the hazard tracker, using
the second write register field that is used to track RA updates for
update-form loads and stores.
For those branches that update LR but don't write any other result
(i.e. that don't decrementer CTR), we now write back LR in the same
cycle as the instruction rather than taking a second cycle for the
LR writeback.

dcache: Reduce latencies and improve timing
This implements various improvements to the dcache with the aim of
making it go faster.
- We can now execute operations that don't need to access main memory
(cacheable loads that hit in the cache and TLB operations) as soon
as any previous operation has completed, without waiting for the
state machine to become idle.
- Cache line refills start with the doubleword that is needed to
satisfy the load that initiated them.
- Cacheable loads that miss return their data and complete as soon as
the requested doubleword comes back from memory; they don't wait for
the refill to finish.
- We now have per-doubleword valid bits for the cache line being
refilled, meaning that if a load comes in for a line that is in the
process of being refilled, we can return the data and complete it
within a couple of cycles of the doubleword coming in from memory.
- There is now a bypass path for data being written to the cache RAM
so that we can do a store hit followed immediately by a load hit to
the same doubleword. This also makes the data from a refill
available to load hits one cycle earlier than it would be otherwise.
- Stores complete in the cycle where their wishbone operation is
initiated, without waiting for the wishbone cycle to complete.
- During the wishbone cycle for a store, if another store comes in
that is to the same page, and we don't have a stall from the
wishbone, we can send out the write for the second store in the same
wishbone cycle and without going through the IDLE state first. We
limit it to 7 outstanding writes that have not yet been
acknowledged.
- The cache tag RAM is now read on a clock edge rather than being
combinatorial for reading. Its width is rounded up to a multiple of
8 bits per way so that byte enables can be used for writing
individual tags.
- The cache tag RAM is now written a cycle later than previously, in
order to ease timing.
- Data for a store hit is now written one cycle later than
previously. This eases timing since we don't have to get through
the tag matching and on to the write enable within a single cycle.
The 2-stage bypass path means we can still handle a load hit on
either of the two cycles after the store and return the correct
data. (A load hit 3 or more cycles later will get the correct data
from the BRAM.)
- Operations can sit in r0 while there is an uncompleted operation in
r1. Once the operation in r1 is completed, the operation in r0
spends one cycle in r0 for TLB/cache tag lookup and then gets put
into r1.req. This can happen before r1 gets to the IDLE state.
Some operations can then be completed before r1 gets to the IDLE
state - a load miss to the cache line being refilled, or a store to
the same page as a previous store.

decode: Work out ispr1/ispr2 in parallel with decode ROM lookup
This makes the logic that calculates which SPRs are being accessed
work in parallel with the instruction decode ROM lookup instead of
being dependent on the opcode found in the decode ROM. The reason
for doing that is that the path from icache through the decode ROM

Thus we are now using only a very partial decode of the instruction
word in the logic for isp1/isp2, and we therefore can no longer rely
on them being zero in all cases where no SPR is being accessed.
Instead, decode2 now ignores ispr1/ispr2 in all cases except when the

that hit in the cache can now be executed at the rate of one every two

To achieve this, the state machine code is split into two parts, one

starting a new instruction. We can now combinatorially clear busy and
start a new instruction in the same cycle that we get a done signal
from the dcache; in other words we are completing one instruction and
potentially writing back results in the same cycle that we start a new
instruction and send its address and data to the dcache.

core: Use a busy signal rather than a stall
This changes the instruction dependency tracking so that we can
generate a "busy" signal from execute1 and loadstore1 which comes
along one cycle later than the current "stall" signal. This will
enable us to signal busy cycles only when we need to from loadstore1.
The "busy" signal from execute1/loadstore1 indicates "I didn't take
the thing you gave me on this cycle", as distinct from the previous
stall signal which meant "I took that but don't give me anything
next cycle". That means that decode2 proactively gives execute1
a new instruction as soon as it has taken the previous one (assuming
there is a valid instruction available from decode1), and that then
sits in decode2's output until execute1 can take it. So instructions
are issued by decode2 somewhat earlier than they used to be.
Decode2 now only signals a stall upstream when its output buffer is
full, meaning that we can fill up bubbles in the upstream pipe while a
long instruction is executing. This gives a small boost in
performance.
This also adds dependency tracking for rA updates by update-form
load/store instructions.
The GPR and CR hazard detection machinery now has one extra stage,
which may not be strictly necessary. Some of the code now really
only applies to PIPELINE_DEPTH=1.

icache: Improve latencies when reloading cache lines
The icache can now detect a hit on a line being refilled from memory,

following requests to the same cache line to be satisfied before the
line is completely refilled. Furthermore, the refill now starts
at the row that is needed. This should reduce the latency for an
icache miss.
We now get a 'sequential' indication from fetch1, and use that to know
when we can deliver an instruction word using the other half of the
64-bit doubleword that was read last cycle. This doesn't make much
difference at the moment, but it frees up cycles where we could test
whether the next line is present in the cache so that we could

Add core logging
This logs 256 bits of data per cycle to a ring buffer in BRAM. The
data collected can be read out through 2 new SPRs or through the
debug interface.
The new SPRs are LOG_ADDR (724) and LOG_DATA (725). LOG_ADDR contains
the buffer write pointer in the upper 32 bits (in units of entries,
i.e. 32 bytes) and the read pointer in the lower 32 bits (in units of
doublewords, i.e. 8 bytes). Reading LOG_DATA gives the doubleword
from the buffer at the read pointer and increments the read pointer.
Setting bit 31 of LOG_ADDR inhibits the trace log system from writing
to the log buffer, so the contents are stable and can be read.
There are two new debug addresses which function similarly to the
LOG_ADDR and LOG_DATA SPRs. The log is frozen while either or both of
the LOG_ADDR SPR bit 31 or the debug LOG_ADDR register bit 31 are set.
The buffer defaults to 2048 entries, i.e. 64kB. The size is set by
the LOG_LENGTH generic on the core_debug module. Software can
determine the length of the buffer because the length is ORed into the
buffer write pointer in the upper 32 bits of LOG_ADDR. Hence the
length of the buffer can be calculated as 1 << (31 - clz(LOG_ADDR)).
There is a program to format the log entries in a somewhat readable

icache: Fix icbi potentially clobbering the icache (#192)
icbi currently just resets the icache. This has some nasty side
effects such as also clearing the TLB, but also the wishbone interface.
That means that any ongoing cycle will be dropped.
However, most of our slaves don't handle that well and will continue
sending acks for already issued requests.
Under some circumstances we can thus restart an icache load and get
spurious ack/data from the wishbone left over from the "cancelled"
sequence.
This has broken booting Linux for me.

Litedram updates with L2 cache and sim support

litedram: Make the L2 twice as tall
This increases the number of L2 lines from 32 to 64. The BRAM usage is the
same as they were only half used. There's an increase in LUTs and registers
due to the extra tags and valid bits, but none of it should be in a
space constrained or critical timing path.
We could make it wider instead (256 bytes lines) which would reduce usage
instead, but this increases the latency by 8 cycles. Something to consider
once the L2 is capable of early response on miss and starting reloads
from any point in a line.

core: Do addpcis using the main adder (#189)
By adding logic to decode2 to be able to send the instruction address
down the A input, and making CONST_DX_HI (renamed to CONST_DXHI4) add

we can do addpcis using the main adder. This reduces the width of the

flash-arty: Add support for specifying the file type
By default openocd tries to "guess" the file type and interpret
it accordingly. For example it will detect an ELF file based on
the presence of an ELF header and will try to load the relevant
segments into the flash.
This may not be what we want. For example, I want to load the raw
ELF file into the flash.
Additionally the ELF parser in most distro's OpenOCD version
only supports ELF32 and will error out.
This adds a "-t" argument to flash-arty to allow us to specify the
file format. For example "-t bin" will treat the file as raw binary.
Unfortunately I had to copy and modify jtagspi.cfg from OpenOCD
to achieve this.

soc: Rework interconnect
This changes the SoC interconnect such that the main 64-bit wishbone out

The IO bus leg is then latched and down-converted to 32 bits data width,
before going through a second address decoder for the various IO devices.
This significantly reduces routing and timing pressure on the main bus,
allowing to get rid of frequent timing violations when synthetizing on
