df7f09b9ce Get I$ ECC check further off critical path 2017-08-04 16:59:21 -07:00

ecc2ee366c Shave a few gate delays off IBuf control logic 
It takes a while for the pipeline to compute the stall signal, so avoid
using it until the last logic levels in the clock cycle.

3e04a99f61 Refactor frontend exception passing 
Bundle them, and leverage regularity, so that if we have to add more
exceptions in the future, we don't need to change so much code.

24a2278fc4 Perform all illegal-instruction detection in ID stage 
This is simpler, reduces what would have become a critical path in
the commit stage, and will make it easier to support the mbadinst
CSR if it is implemented.

74d8d672bf Improve BTB critical path at slight accuracy cost 
Make entries fully associative on lower 14 bits only, not full address.

e8c8d2af71 Heterogeneous Tiles (#550) 
Fundamental new features:

* Added tile package: This package is intended to hold components re-usable across different types of tile. Will be the future location of TL2-RoCC accelerators and new diplomatic versions of intra-tile interfaces.
* Adopted [ModuleName]Params convention: Code base was very inconsistent about what to name case classes that provide parameters to modules. Settled on calling them [ModuleName]Params to distinguish them from config.Parameters and config.Config. So far applied mostly only to case classes defined within rocket and tile.
* Defined RocketTileParams: A nested case class containing case classes for all the components of a tile (L1 caches and core). Allows all such parameters to vary per-tile.
* Defined RocketCoreParams: All the parameters that can be varied per-core.
* Defined L1CacheParams: A trait defining the parameters common to L1 caches, made concrete in different derived case classes.
* Defined RocketTilesKey: A sequence of RocketTileParams, one for every tile to be created.
* Provided HeterogeneousDualCoreConfig: An example of making a heterogeneous chip with two cores, one big and one little.
* Changes to legacy code: ReplacementPolicy moved to package util. L1Metadata moved to package tile. Legacy L2 cache agent removed because it can no longer share the metadata array implementation with the L1. Legacy GroundTests on life support.

Additional changes that got rolled in along the way:

* rocket: 	Fix critical path through BTB for I$ index bits > pgIdxBits
* coreplex: tiles connected via :=*
* groundtest: updated to use TileParams
* tilelink: cache cork requirements are relaxed to allow more cacheless masters
