This adds a direct-mapped TLB to the icache, with 64 entries by default. Execute1 now sends a "virt_mode" signal from MSR[IR] to fetch1 along with redirects to indicate whether instruction addresses should be translated through the TLB, and fetch1 sends that on to icache. Similarly a "priv_mode" signal is sent to indicate the privilege mode for instruction fetches. This means that changes to MSR[IR] or MSR[PR] don't take effect until the next redirect, meaning an isync, rfid, branch, etc. The icache uses a hash of the effective address (i.e. next instruction address) to index the TLB. The hash is an XOR of three fields of the address; with a 64-entry TLB, the fields are bits 12--17, 18--23 and 24--29 of the address. TLB invalidations simply invalidate the indexed TLB entry without checking the contents. If the icache detects a TLB miss with virt_mode=1, it will send a fetch_failed indication through fetch2 to decode1, which will turn it into a special OP_FETCH_FAILED opcode with unit=LDST. That will get sent down to loadstore1 which will currently just raise a Instruction Storage Interrupt (0x400) exception. One bit in the PTE obtained from the TLB is used to check whether an instruction access is allowed -- the privilege bit (bit 3). If bit 3 is 1 and priv_mode=0, then a fetch_failed indication is sent down to fetch2 and to decode1, which generates an OP_FETCH_FAILED. Any PTEs with PTE bit 0 (EAA[3]) clear or bit 8 (R) clear should not be put into the iTLB since such PTEs would not allow execution by any context. Tlbie operations get sent from mmu to icache over a new connection. Unfortunately the privileged instruction tests are broken for now. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>
