sim._pyclock: new type of process.

The overhead of coroutine processes is fairly high. A clock driver
implemented through a coroutine process is mostly overhead. This was
partially addressed in commit 2398b792 by microoptimizing yielding.

This commit eliminates the coroutine process overhead completely by
introducing dedicated clock processes. It also simplifies the logic
to a simple toggle.

This change improves runtime by about 12% on Minerva SRAM SoC.

back.rtlil: do not squash empty modules.

In commit 9faa1d37, the RTLIL backend was changed to ignore modules
without ports completely, since Yosys would recognize empty modules
as black boxes without explicit `write_verilog -noblackbox` and break
the design. That change had many flaws:
  * It removed instances without ports, which are used in e.g. SoC
    FPGAs to instantiate a dummy CPU.
  * It removed fragments without ports, which can appear in e.g. SoC
    FPGAs in case the fabric is not connected to any I/O ports.
  * Finally, it was just conceptually unjustified.

This commit changes the logic to actually check for empty fragments,
and instead of removing them, it adds a dummy wire inside. It would
be possible to use the Yosys-specific (*noblackbox*) attribute.
However, it would be necessary to strip it for most targets right
away, and also the wire doubles as documentation.

Fixes #441.

4 years agoback.verilog: omit Verilog initial trigger only if Yosys adds it.

back.verilog: omit Verilog initial trigger only if Yosys adds it.

Verilog has an edge case where an `always @*` process, which is used
to describe a combinatorial function procedurally, may not execute
at time zero because none of the signals in its implicit sensitivity
list change, i.e. when the process doesn't read any signals. This
causes the wires driven by the process to stay undefined.

The workaround to this problem (assuming SystemVerilog `always_comb`
is not available) is to introduce a dummy signal that changes only
at time zero and is optimized out during synthesis. nMigen has had
its own workaround, `$verilog_initial_trigger`, for a while. However,
`proc_prune`, while increasing readability, pulls references to this
signal out of the process. Because of this, a similar workaround was
implemented in Yosys' `write_verilog` itself.

This commit ensures we use our workaround on versions of Yosys
without the updated `write_verilog`, and Yosys' workaround on later
versions.

Fixes #418.

When a literal is used on the left-hand side of a numeric operator,
Python is able to constant-fold some expressions:

    >>> dis.dis(lambda x: 0 + 0 + x)

                  2 LOAD_FAST                0 (x)

                  6 RETURN_VALUE

If a literal is used on the right-hand side such that the left-hand
side is variable, this doesn't happen:

    >>> dis.dis(lambda x: x + 0 + 0)

PyRTL generates fairly redundant code due to the pervasive masking,
and because of that, transforming expressions into the former form,
where possible, improves runtime by about 10% on Minerva SRAM SoC.
