| /// A Load/Store Unit implementing a load and store queues. | |
| /// | |
| /// This class implements a load queue and a store queue to emulate the | |
| /// out-of-order execution of memory operations. | |
| /// Each load (or store) consumes an entry in the load (or store) queue. | |
| /// | |
| /// Rules are: | |
| /// 1) A younger load is allowed to pass an older load only if there are no | |
| /// stores nor barriers in between the two loads. | |
| /// 2) An younger store is not allowed to pass an older store. | |
| /// 3) A younger store is not allowed to pass an older load. | |
| /// 4) A younger load is allowed to pass an older store only if the load does | |
| /// not alias with the store. | |
| /// | |
| /// This class optimistically assumes that loads don't alias store operations. | |
| /// Under this assumption, younger loads are always allowed to pass older | |
| /// stores (this would only affects rule 4). | |
| /// Essentially, this LSUnit doesn't attempt to run any sort alias analysis to | |
| /// predict when loads and stores don't alias with eachother. | |
| /// | |
| /// To enforce aliasing between loads and stores, flag `AssumeNoAlias` must be | |
| /// set to `false` by the constructor of LSUnit. | |
| /// | |
| /// In the case of write-combining memory, rule 2. could be relaxed to allow | |
| /// reordering of non-aliasing store operations. At the moment, this is not | |
| /// allowed. | |
| /// To put it in another way, there is no option to specify a different memory | |
| /// type for memory operations (example: write-through, write-combining, etc.). | |
| /// Also, there is no way to weaken the memory model, and this unit currently | |
| /// doesn't support write-combining behavior. | |
| /// | |
| /// No assumptions are made on the size of the store buffer. | |
| /// As mentioned before, this class doesn't perform alias analysis. | |
| /// Consequently, LSUnit doesn't know how to identify cases where | |
| /// store-to-load forwarding may occur. | |
| /// | |
| /// LSUnit doesn't attempt to predict whether a load or store hits or misses | |
| /// the L1 cache. To be more specific, LSUnit doesn't know anything about | |
| /// the cache hierarchy and memory types. | |
| /// It only knows if an instruction "mayLoad" and/or "mayStore". For loads, the | |
| /// scheduling model provides an "optimistic" load-to-use latency (which usually | |
| /// matches the load-to-use latency for when there is a hit in the L1D). | |
| /// | |
| /// Class MCInstrDesc in LLVM doesn't know about serializing operations, nor | |
| /// memory-barrier like instructions. | |
| /// LSUnit conservatively assumes that an instruction which `mayLoad` and has | |
| /// `unmodeled side effects` behave like a "soft" load-barrier. That means, it | |
| /// serializes loads without forcing a flush of the load queue. | |
| /// Similarly, instructions that both `mayStore` and have `unmodeled side | |
| /// effects` are treated like store barriers. A full memory | |
| /// barrier is a 'mayLoad' and 'mayStore' instruction with unmodeled side | |
| /// effects. This is obviously inaccurate, but this is the best that we can do | |
| /// at the moment. | |
| /// | |
| /// Each load/store barrier consumes one entry in the load/store queue. A | |
| /// load/store barrier enforces ordering of loads/stores: | |
| /// - A younger load cannot pass a load barrier. | |
| /// - A younger store cannot pass a store barrier. | |
| /// | |
| /// A younger load has to wait for the memory load barrier to execute. | |
| /// A load/store barrier is "executed" when it becomes the oldest entry in | |
| /// the load/store queue(s). That also means, all the older loads/stores have | |
| /// already been executed. | |
