whitequark [Fri, 22 Nov 2019 08:32:41 +0000 (08:32 +0000)]
back.pysim: redesign the simulator.

The redesign introduces no fundamental incompatibilities, but it does
involve minor breaking changes:
  * The simulator commands were moved from hdl.ast to back.pysim
    (instead of only being reexported from back.pysim).
  * back.pysim.DeadlineError was removed.

Summary of changes:
  * The new simulator compiles HDL to Python code and is >6x faster.
    (The old one compiled HDL to lots of Python lambdas.)
  * The new simulator is a straightforward, rigorous implementation
    of the Synchronous Reactive Programming paradigm, instead of
    a pile of ad-hoc code with no particular design driving it.
  * The new simulator never raises DeadlineError, and there is no
    limit on the amount of delta cycles.
  * The new simulator robustly handles multiclock designs.
  * The new simulator can be reset, such that the compiled design
    can be reused, which can save significant runtime with large
    designs.
  * Generators can no longer be added as processes, since that would
    break reset(); only generator functions may be. If necessary,
    they may be added by wrapping them into a generator function;
    a deprecated fallback does just that. This workaround will raise
    an exception if the simulator is reset and restarted.
  * The new simulator does not depend on Python extensions.
    (The old one required bitarray, which did not provide wheels.)

hdl.ir: allow disabling UnusedElaboratable warning in file scope.

This warning is usually quite handy, but is problematic in tests:
although it can be suppressed by using Fragment.get on elaboratable,
that is not always possible, in particular when writing tests for
exceptions raised by __init__, e.g.:

    def test_wrong_csr_bus(self):
        with self.assertRaisesRegex(ValueError, r"blah blah"):
            WishboneCSRBridge(csr_bus=object())

In theory, it should be possible to suppress warnings per-module
and even per-line using code such as:

    import re, warnings
    from nmigen.hdl.ir import UnusedElaboratable
    warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", category=UnusedElaboratable,
                            module=re.escape(__name__))

Unfortunately, not only is this code quite convoluted, but it also
does not actually work; we are using warnings.warn_explicit() because
we collect source locations on our own, but it requires the caller
to extract the __warningregistry__ dictionary from module globals,
or warning suppression would not work. Not only is this not feasible
in most diagnostic sites in nMigen, but also I never got it to work
anyway, even when passing all of module, registry, and module_globals
to warn_explicit().

Instead, use a magic comment at the start of a file to do this job,
which might not be elegant but is simple and practical. For now,
only UnusedElaboratable can be suppressed with it, but in future,

First, default_rst is no longer assumed to be synchronous to
default_clk, which is  the safer option, since it can be connected to
e.g. buttons on some evaluation boards.

Second, since the power-on / configuration reset is inherently
asynchronous to any user clock, the default create_missing_domain()
behavior is to use a reset synchronizer with `0` as input. Since,
like all reset synchronizers, it uses Signal(reset=1) for its
synchronization stages, after power-on reset it keeps its subordinate
clock domain in reset, and releases it after fabric flops start
toggling.

The write port priority in Yosys is derived directly from the order
in which the ports are declared in the Verilog frontend. It is being
removed for several reasons:
  1. It is not clear if it works correctly for all cases (FFRAM,
     LUTRAM, BRAM).
  2. Although it is roundtripped via Verilog with correct simulation
     semantics, the resulting code has a high chance of being
     interpreted incorrectly by Xilinx tools.
  3. It cannot be roundtripped via FIRRTL, which is an alternative
     backend that is an interesting future option. (FIRRTL leaves
     write collision completely undefined.)
  3. It is a niche feature that, if it is needed, can be completely
     replaced using an explicit comparator, priority encoder, and
     write enable gating circuit. (This is what Xilinx recommends
     for handling this case.)

In the future we should extend nMigen's formal verification to assert
that a write collision does not happen.
