;; Pipelines
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;; There are two pipelines:
;; 
;; - An Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) pipeline.
;;
;;   The ALU pipeline has fetch, issue, decode, execute, memory, and
;;   write stages. We only need to model the execute, memory and write
;;   stages.
;;
;; - A Load-Store Unit (LSU) pipeline.
;;
;;   The LSU pipeline has decode, execute, memory, and write stages.
;;   We only model the execute, memory and write stages.

;; ALU Instructions
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;; ALU instructions require three cycles to execute, and use the ALU
;; pipeline in each of the three stages.  The results are available
;; after the execute stage has finished.
;;
;; If the destination register is the PC, the pipelines are stalled
;; for several cycles.  That case is not modeled here.

;; Long multiply instructions that produce two registers of

;; the least significant word is available before the most significant
;; word.  That fact is not modeled; instead, the instructions are
;; described as if the entire result was available at the end of the
;; cycle in which both words are available.

;; The "umull", "umlal", "smull", and "smlal" instructions all take
;; three iterations through the execute cycle, and make their results
;; available after the memory cycle.

;; Load/Store Instructions
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;; The models for load/store instructions do not accurately describe
;; the difference between operations with a base register writeback
;; (such as "ldm!").  These models assume that all memory references
;; hit in dcache.

;; LSU instructions require six cycles to execute.  They use the ALU
;; pipeline in all but the 5th cycle, and the LSU pipeline in cycles
;; three through six.
;; Loads and stores which use a scaled register offset or scaled
;; register pre-indexed addressing mode take three cycles EXCEPT for
;; those that are base + offset with LSL of 0 or 2, or base - offset
;; with LSL of zero.  The remainder take 1 cycle to execute.
;; For 4byte loads there is a bypass from the load stage

(define_bypass 1 "load1_op" "store1_op" "arm_no_early_store_addr_dep")

;; On a LDM/STM operation, the LSU pipeline iterates until all of the
;; registers have been processed.
;;
;; The time it takes to load the data depends on whether or not the
;; base address is 64-bit aligned; if it is not, an additional cycle
;; is required.  This model assumes that the address is always 64-bit
;; aligned.  Because the processor can load two registers per cycle,
;; that assumption means that we use the same instruction reservations
;; for loading 2k and 2k - 1 registers.
;;
;; The ALU pipeline is stalled until the completion of the last memory
;; stage in the LSU pipeline.  That is modeled by keeping the ALU
;; execute stage busy until that point.
;;
;; As with ALU operations, if one of the destination registers is the
;; PC, there are additional stalls; that is not modeled.

;; Branch and Call Instructions
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;; Branch instructions are difficult to model accurately.  The ARM
;; core can predict most branches.  If the branch is predicted
;; correctly, and predicted early enough, the branch can be completely
;; eliminated from the instruction stream.  Some branches can
;; therefore appear to require zero cycles to execute.  We assume that
;; all branches are predicted correctly, and that the latency is
;; therefore the minimum value.

;; The latency for a call is not predictable.  Therefore, we use 32 as
