L1 Prefetch (#2261)

* dcache: optimize the ready signal of missqueue

Add a custom arbiter. In the case of multiple sources with the same
cache block address, the arbiter will assign only one entry in
misssqueue but ready for all same cache block address requests.

This will reduce the number of replays of the load instruction which cannot
enter the missqueue

* sta, dcache: add A StorePipe in dcache

When the store command passes through the sta pipeline, access the tag
and meta of dcache to determine whether it hits, if it hits, update the
replacement algorithm, and if miss, send a write intent to missqueue

* sta prefetch: add a queue

Enter this queue when the Store Address pipeline sends a request,
determines that it has a cache miss, and the contention for MSHR fails.

The miss request in this queue will be sent to the Store pipeline later.

* sbuffer, dcache: store prefetch burst

A basic implementation of "Boosting Store Buffer Efficiency with
Store-Prefetch Bursts".

Store prefetch at exe is disabled.
Now, when store goes from sq to sbuffer, it will trigger a store
prefetch; when 48 stores fall into 6 cache lines, trigger a store burst
perfetch, which will bring a whole page back into dcache.

* dcache: restric mshr alloc for prefetch req

* restric the max number of entries which can be used by prefetch
* merge two same cache line address prefetch write req
* dynamically detect memset pattern, all mshr can accept prefetch when
pattern is detected

* spb: constantin support

* dcache: fix missqueue prefetch ready

* make prefetch req goes mshr with bigger id

* Revert "spb: constantin support"

This reverts commit 4ee50b89ba4a62cd28fa22d7fbcb2338ad4b1849.

* spb: fix bug in burst generator

* spb: add load prefetch burst support

* topdown: add defines of topdown counters enum

* top-down: receive and handle reasons in dispatch

* top-down: remove previous top-down code

* TopDown: add MemReqSource enum

* TopDown: extend mshr_latency range

* TopDown: add basic Req Source

TODO: distinguish prefetch

* store prefetch: refactor parameters and fix bug

* change some parameters
* fix store pipe bug
* fix load prefetch burst

* dcache: distinguish L1DataPrefetch and CPUData

* top-down: comment out debugging perf counters in ibuffer

* TopDown: add path to pass MemReqSource to HuanCun

* TopDown: use simpler logic to count reqSource and update Probe count

* frontend: update topdown counters

* Update HuanCun Topdown for MemReqSource

* top-down: fix load stalls

* top-down: Change the priority of different stall reasons

* store prefetch: add stride and l2 prefetch

* add a stride prefetcher
* spb and stride will issue prefetch to l2
* when store commits, issue a prefetch to l1

* sbuffer: fix eviction

* when valid count reaches StoreBufferSize, do eviction

* spf: change store prefetch structure

* prefetch @ exe -> l2 cache
* stride -> l2 cache

* sbuffer: fix replaceIdx

* If the way selected by the replacement algorithm cannot be written into dcache, its result is not used.

* Revert "sbuffer: fix replaceIdx"

This reverts commit 40c16aca956af9fb32554a0f12d18db41c22eecd.

* spf: find best interval in stamissqueue

* Revert "spf: find best interval in stamissqueue"

This reverts commit d179f0ce15a5ab989a822de7fe48cc5e2cd96914.

* sms: port store to sms

Miss store will train sms like load.

Now, sms will recieve 4 train sources, 2 for miss load, 2 for miss
store, but prefetcher consume 1 train req per cycle, PrefetchTrainFilter
is added to deal with this case.

* bump huancun

* spf: refactor structure

* miss stores will train sms, and send prefetch to l2
* miss stores will send prefetch to l1 on issue or commit
* spb will send prefetch to l1

* memset: fix memset detection

use lqEmpty to check this

* constantin: storepf constantin support

cherry-pick this to use constantin in storepf

* Revert "constantin: storepf constantin support"
