This required makeing the Exception type wider by one.
The actual "inBounds" check is currently implemented in the reorder buffer rows, which duplicates the logic ~80 times (number of outstanding instructions), which isn't ideal, but it's using the quick in-bounds check that only compares the mantissa-sized things.
This includes renaming Fifo.bsv to Fifos.bsv to account for a case insensitive file system which confuses this library with FIFO.bsv.
Also this includes an update of the verilator flags that are needed for modern verilator.
Finally, some verilator flag changes for building with LLVM.
Two of these were not properly restricted as read-only from CSRRX instructions,
and there was a bug in the WARL function for writing MIP,
and there was a bug in the TV-reporting of MIP updates.
When a CSRRx instruction writes to FCSR/FFLAGS/FRM, the CPU also
changes MSTATUS.FS and, by implication, MSTATUS.SD because the
floating point state has become "dirty". Tandem Verification
trace-generation was not reporting this update.
PLIC: updated to latest version from Piccolo/Flute.
MMIO_AXI4_Adapter: added workaround for Xilinx IP problem on 64-bit
AXI4 fabrics. Writes that specify 8-byte size, but only write in
upper or lower word using strobes, are converted into 4-byte size.
Core.bsv: added a notification to the Debug Module re. CPU halt.
MIP/MIE/SIP/SIE fields are WARL (Write-Any/Read-Legal). The CSR
register forces the user-privilege bits ([8,4,0]) to 0 since riscy-ooo
does not support user-level interrupts. However, function
Csrfile.fv_warl_xform() was not mirroring this correctly.
(1) riscy-ooo was mapping all unimplemented CSRs to a benign, user-privilege read-write CSR
Instead, we now catch this RenameStage and steer it to a trap.
(2) MSTATUS.FS was initialized to 2'b00 (absent/off); should be 2'b01 (present and initial)
Previously, the request went out into the fabric, and we were relying
on the fabric returning an error response. Some fabrics don't do this
reliably, so this removes that reliance on the fabric.

Now handling all Alu and Fpu pipeline outputs, traps and xRets.
Still todo:
(1) Mem pipeline outputs (Ld, Lr/Sc, Amo outputs to dest reg)
(2) For CSRRx, currently reporting WARL pre-write updates; needs to be WARL'd update.
Rd value (destination register) of Integer ops supported
Trap updates (priv and CSR updates) supported.
Still pending: Memory ops Rd value, Fpu Rd value
Now able to run multiple ISA tests in a single simulation run
connected to remote debugger DSharp, using either hart_reset or
ndm_reset between tests to bring the system back into reset state.
All Debug Module commands working:
- dm_reset, hart_reset, ndm_reset
- break (set breakpoint)
- step
- continue (until breakpoint of 'halt' command)
- halt
- read/write GPR, FPR, CSR, memory
- elf_load
After a test, GDB can write DCSR to restore to Machine privilege,
write to PC (DPC) to restore boot value,
write MSTATUS to restore to initial value,
then can load and run next test.
When controlled from a debugger (build with INCLUDE_GDB_CONTROL macro);
when stopped due a EBREAK instruction; on a 'resume' command ('continue' in GDB),
was getting stuck. This is now working.
At this point, all debugger functionality (almost: see below) is working:
halt, step, breakpoints, resume, read/write gpr/fpr/csr, read/write memory.
Still todo: "NDM reset" (non-debug module reset).
Stop, set breakpoint: working, stopping successfully.
Step: working: stops after a step.
Continue (resume) working after Stop and Step, but not after stop by breakpoint (needs debugging)
Read/Write GPRs, FPRs, CSRs, memory working.
This is not thoroughly tested, as we quickly throw an exception due to out-of-bounds memory and need some RVFI-DII control flow fixup to proceed further.
Currently, our next address prediction cannot distinguish between a
taken compressed branch to PC+4 and an uncompressed instruction that
falls through. We can instead make the NAP machinery much more robust by
keying it on the 16b parcels, with uncompressed branches having their
taken prediction on the second 16b parcel. This also removes the need
for the address prediction requests to be chained.
Moreover, if we decode more than 2 instructions in one cycle due to
decompression, we throw away any subsequent instructions and treat it
like a branch miss, redirecting and thus restarting the pipeline from
the first discarded PC. We should therefore instead save them for
issuing on the next cycle and avoid the redirects. To ensure we don't
needlessly reduce our IPC, if we have a partial issue's width of
instructions saved, we should also support issuing instructions from the
next ICache response if valid, which should be the case in hot
correctly-predicted code paths, especially tight loops. As part of this
change, we also keep the pending straddle state in Fetch3 rather than
sending it to Decode only to have it be forwarded back.
Combined, these two approaches ensure the fetch unit can maintain an IPC
of 2 after it has had time to be correctly trained, regardless of the
distribution of compressed instructions.
