Description

A kind of quick abnormality eliminating method and its place for emptying streamline of tolerance cache missings Manage structure
Technical field
The present invention relates to the risc processor of Harvard structure the knot of streamline can be quickly emptied when carrying out abnormality processing Structure and method, specially a kind of quick abnormality eliminating method and its processing structure for emptying streamline of tolerance cache missings.
Background technology
Current high-performance microprocessor is generally used as the buffering of data and instruction using the multistage cache of stratification, with Reduce the speed difference between processor and memory.Wherein, first order cache has the access delay of very little, substantially with The speed of processor is consistent, in order to obtain the concurrent access of instruction and data, and it would generally be divided into independent command cache With data cache, i.e., so-called Harvard structure;Second level cache typically uniformly stores together instruction and data, and it can be with Can also be outside piece in piece;In following high-end designs, the third level cache of Large Copacity is integrated in also have very much in piece can A kind of universal technological means can be turned into.But in any case, one-level cache missing is the important of influence processor performance all the time Factor, during this influence not only shows computing device normal function, and is also manifested by its processing abnormal conditions Mode on.For the risc microcontroller of current most main flows, they typically all use precise abnormal processing Mode, i.e., when occurring abnormal, it is ensured that all instructions before exceptional instructions all successful executions, and after exceptional instructions The instruction of all entrance streamlines can not all be performed, it is necessary to be cleared;This preprocessor just takes new at abnormal entry address Instruct and start to perform abnormality processing subprogram.In streamline cleanup process, due to potential cache missings, it is possible to lead Whole streamline is caused to be blocked so that abnormality processing is also stagnated, the reality of final influence computer system processor anomalous event Shi Xing.
In order to reduce the performance loss caused by cache missings, two are had been proposed from the aspect of architecture at present Plant technological means:(1) non-obstruction cache technologies, that is, when occurring cache missings, streamline is not blocked, and can continue executing with it Follow-up unrelated instruction, the expense of cache missings is hidden with this.It stores missing by one special " miss queue " Instruction, until the data block of missing is read back from main memory, therefore the periodicity that cache missings can be hidden refers to depending on missing Make the bar number of follow-up independent instructions.Obviously, this structure contributes to performance boost in computing device normal function, But of no avail in abnormality processing, because the subsequent instructions of missing instruction will be cleared out by streamline, themselves is simultaneously The effective execution time is not take up, the expense of missing also can not be just hidden;On the other hand, non-obstruction is substantially a kind of out of order holds Capable thought, for strict guarantee instruction sequences it is precise abnormal for, only can increase the complexity of control.(2) prefetch Cache technologies, it by excite in advance in the future issuable cache lack behavior, make missing processing with before missing instruction Other executing instructions so that hide cache missing expense.In order to realize pre-fetch function, it needs " memory reference Predict table " and " prefetching queue " two hardware logics.The fetching address produced every time using branch predictor is gone to access memory Reference prediction table, if occurrence, then illustrates that its corresponding instruction will be performed, is then put into the instruction and prefetches queue In, lacked with triggering potential cache in advance.Regrettably, the technology is also only applicable to the feelings of computing device normal function Condition, effect is not gathered when carrying out abnormality processing, because anomalous event is rare chance event, without statistical property, The fetching address that so branch predictor is produced is when accessing memory reference prediction table, it is likely that without occurrence, and can not Which bar instruction is predicted will perform, and potential cache missings behavior finally also can not be just triggered in advance.
How effectively to reduce cache missings expense, be rapidly performed by abnormality processing, be the certainty of real-time computer system It is required that.However, both the above technology is directed to the processing of anomalous event, streamline stops caused by being still unavoidable from cache missings , through retrieving pertinent literature, at present also without the method that can solve the problem very well.
The content of the invention
For problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a kind of by being set in conventional block type cache " vacation hit " state eliminates the pipeline stall caused by the cache of illegal command accesses missing, does not increase additional complexity Hardware logic be that quickly can empty streamline in accidental anomalous event, so as to accelerate the speed of abnormality processing, carry The quick abnormality eliminating method and its processing structure for emptying streamline of tolerance cache missings of high computer system real-time.
The quick abnormality eliminating method for emptying streamline of present invention tolerance cache missings comes real by the following technical programs It is existing:
First, cache hit decision logic is changed:Definition " vacation hit " state, identify by streamline empty it is invalid Instruct the access result to cache;
Then, the behavior of cache under " vacation hit " state is defined:Cache to streamline without providing correct instruction code Or data word, directly the corresponding cache information of reference address is exported;
Secondly, the Pipeline control of command cache " vacation hit " state is realized:The stream for generating processor in fetching operation Waterline empty signal directly acts on command cache, current period illegal command is selected " vacation life when accessing cache In " state;
Again, the Pipeline control of data cache " vacation hit " state is realized:When abnormality processing starts, processing is used The "or" logic of the streamline empty signal of device generation and memory access level invalidated identification signal is used as data cache " vacation lives In " selection of state control;
Finally, in the case where occurring exception, cache enters " vacation hit " state, directly returns data to streamline, Neither ensure the correctness of data nor send access request, and then cause streamline to continue to promote.
The instruction of described abnormality processing includes the instruction for accessing data cache and subsequent cycle accesses data Cache instruction.
The streamline empty signal of processor generation is acted on after the pipelining-stage of current all instructions, by previous pipelining-stage Invalidated identification signal transmitted to latter pipelining-stage.
Saving scene operation is carried out before described abnormality processing first, then by streamline empty signal to exceptional instructions All instructions afterwards are identified;All instructions after described exceptional instructions are included from fetching level to memory access level Instruction.
Described illegal command includes correspondence decoding level, register access level and the instruction for performing level.
The quick exception handling structure for emptying streamline of present invention tolerance cache missings comes real by the following technical programs It is existing:Including can be identified for that hit decision logic unit of the illegal command emptied by streamline to cache access result, flowing water The instruction control that the streamline empty signal that can generate processor in the operation of line fetching directly acts on command cache is single Member, and the streamline empty signal and memory access level that can generate processor during pipeline-exception processing beginning are invalid The "or" logic of id signal selects the DCU data control unit of control, described hit decision logic unit as data cache The illegal command of mark can directly be exported cache information by cache.
The described hit decision logic list that can be identified for that the illegal command that is emptied by streamline to cache access result Member includes MUX and its selection logic unit.
Compared with prior art, the present invention is completely eliminated due to caused by the potential cache access missing of illegal command Pipeline stall phenomenon, accelerates the speed of abnormality processing, and beneficial technique effect is as follows:
(1) " vacation hit " mechanism creates the zero-waiting of illegal command in a pipeline.For current Electrosurgical treatment equipment For, cache missings at least need tens up to a hundred clock cycle, but " vacation is hit " nullified access instructed to cache is not Missing behavior is produced, so as to avoid the wait of streamline.
(2) system power dissipation is reduced." vacation hit " does not send out access request, it is to avoid it is unnecessary that illegal command is carried out to memory Access operation, so as to reduce the power dissipation overhead of whole system.
(3) processing capability in real time of computer system is improved.When external interrupt or internal exception event occur, refer to Make streamline to be emptied and response abnormality processing immediately by quick, effectively enhance the real-time of computer system.
(4) present invention is more suitable for the microprocessor Design of depth flowing water.The flowing water series of processor is more, abnormal to occur When need the instruction that empties more, wherein access instruction causes the expense of pipeline stall will be bigger due to cache missings, For growing number of invalid access instruction in deep streamline, the effect of " vacation hit " tactful zero-overhead characteristic will be apparent from.
(5) control structure of the invention is simple, except the MUX and its selection logic of increase " vacation hit " state Outside without other hardware resources.

Embodiment
With reference to specific embodiment, the present invention is described in further detail, it is described be explanation of the invention and It is not to limit.
The present invention is main in exception handling procedure to include following aspect:
First, cache hit decision logic is changed.Generally, cache access result can only be in mutual exclusion Two states, i.e., " hit " state or " missing " state, the cleanup process of streamline when we are directed to abnormality processing, then specially A kind of " vacation hit " state of definition, to identify the access result of illegal command that those are emptied by streamline to cache.
Second, define the behavior of cache under " vacation hit " state.Because the illegal command in streamline can not finally update Instruction obtained by any status information of processor, therefore their access cache will not be by pipeline decoding, resulting number According to also will not being processed or write back in register file;That is, for these illegal commands, cache need not give flowing water Line provides correct instruction code or data word.Then, " vacation hit " state can be realized as " hit " state completely, this When cache directly the corresponding cache information of reference address is exported, due to not sending out access request, so the stream that would not pause Waterline;Unlike unique, under " vacation hit " state, cache and without ensureing instruction or data of the output to streamline Correctness.
3rd, realize the Pipeline control of command cache " vacation hit " state.Accident occurs every time and exception is carried out During processing, processor can all generate a streamline empty signal, for controlling to come into flowing water after cancellation exceptional instructions The execution of all instructions of line;The entry address of abnormality processing is generated simultaneously, and carries out fetching to fetching level in the next cycle.By Just operated in current period in fetching level in access instruction cache fetching for existing one, and the instruction is taken by streamline Disappear the illegal command of execution, however, next cycle carries out the fetching operation of exception process entry address, the instruction is effective , therefore, the streamline empty signal of generation only maintains a cycle, and the signal will bear directly against command cache, makes current Cycle illegal command can select " vacation hit " state when accessing cache.
4th, realize the Pipeline control of data cache " vacation hit " state.During generation anomalous event, current period Bar instruction is likely to access data cache, can cancel the ineffective access of the illegal command by streamline empty signal, And select " vacation hit " state;But certain instruction is there is likely to be in streamline and does not currently access data cache, subsequent cycle It just starts to access data cache situation, then only maintain the streamline empty signal of current a cycle to will be unable to this Instruction carries out invalidated identification.Therefore, when abnormality processing starts, the streamline empty signal of generation, which is once acted on, currently to be owned After the pipelining-stage of instruction, we must also allow the invalidated identification signal of previous pipelining-stage to be transmitted to latter pipelining-stage, that When instruction is advanced to memory access level and starts to access data cache, the invalidated identification of memory access level is delivered to Signal can then control access of the instruction to data cache to be in " vacation is hit " state just.So, emptied using streamline Signal and the invalidated identification signal or logic of memory access level are controlled as the selection of data cache " vacation is hit " state.
Referring to Fig. 1, for first-level instruction cache and data cache, their tag array and data array is by simultaneously Capable access, the tag values read from tag array, which are used to hit, to be judged, if hit, the data values read from data array Streamline can be returned to directly as hit word to be handled;Else if lacking, then deposited to two grades of cache or outside Reservoir sends access request, and now whole streamline is stalled.When memory access is completed, memory access result memdata is returned To streamline, it is set normally to promote while decontroling streamline.As an example, seven grades of flowing structures are illustrated in figure, wherein Abnormality processing level specially internal accident or external break events are handled.When there is anomalous event, first It is saving scene operation, then generation empties the control signal All_flush of streamline, for all after exceptional instructions Instruction (including from fetching level to the instruction of memory access level) is identified, and shows that they have turned into from this point on invalid, and And the invalidated identification per first-level instruction also transmits a downward pipelining-stage;At the same time, generation exception process entry address is taken Refer to level, to instruct it to carry out the fetching of new command in the next cycle.Due to current period fetching level and the nothing of memory access level Effect instruction accesses cache, and other illegal commands (correspondence decoding level, register access level and the instruction for performing level) exist Subsequent cycle may also need the access into line storage, in order to avoid potential cache is lacked and causes the pause of streamline, The present invention adds the state mhit of one " vacation hit " for cache hit decision logic.In computing device normal function When, cache either in hit condition hit or is in miss status miss, and only in the case where occurring exception, Cache can just enter " vacation hit " state mhit, and now the data values of data array are directly returned to streamline by cache, and The correctness of the value need not be ensured, it will not also send access request, therefore streamline can make smooth advances.For instruction For cache, the signal ici_inull of control mhit states arises directly from streamline empty signal All_flush;For number For cache, the signal dci_inull of control mhit states then comes from All_flush signals and memory access level Invalidated identification signal be M_flush's or logic.
Referring to Fig. 2, the digitized representation in the upper right corner instructs sequence number in figure, and inst represents that icache returns to the finger of streamline Order, data represents that dcache returns to the data of streamline, and F, D, A, E, M, X, W represent seven pipelining-stages respectively.In instruction 1 X grades (i.e. abnormality processing levels) detect abnormal and start to process, produce the signal All_flush for emptying streamline, identify flowing water The ineffectivity of all instructions in line.Now instruction 6 and instruction 2 are accessing icache and dcache respectively, and all there occurs scarce Lose, it is necessary to carry out access request, then whole streamline is all deadlocked.Until the instruction and data of missing is all returned, stream Waterline is just promoted, it is assumed that instruction 2, instruction 3 and instruction 100 are all load instructions, now exception process entry address (instruction 100) Start to carry out fetching at F grades;Dcache is accessed at M grades yet with instruction 3 and missing behavior is there occurs again, then whole stream Waterline is deadlocked again.Arrow in instruction represents that the instruction being delivered to when streamline is emptied in corresponding pipelining-stage is marked as It is invalid, but the cache of exactly this illegal command missing behaviors result in unnecessary pipeline stall, have impact on exception The speed of reason.
Referring to Fig. 3, when instructing 1 X levels progress abnormality processing, streamline empty signal All_flush promotes now Instruction 6 and instruct 2 cache to access all to enter " vacation hit " state, and subsequent instructions 3 when accessing data cache then to The pipelining-stage id signal M_flush transmitted afterwards is controlled and is entered " vacation hit " state.Cache is direct under " vacation hit " state The cache size in its data array is returned to streamline, and without ensureing the correctness of these values, because streamline is identified These illegal commands, will not enter row decoding to the cache instructions returned or data and write back." vacation hit " does not produce memory access please Ask, without the streamline that pauses, hence it is evident that accelerate exception handling procedure.
The present invention has been successfully applied to a kind of risc microcontroller with seven grades of flowing water of compatible SPARC V8 frameworks In, and have been realized in many money SOC products.Cache " vacation hit " control strategy of the present invention, only needs increase " vacation hit " shape The MUX of state and control logic is selected accordingly, design structure is simple, it is easy to implement.Exception is carried out in processor During reason, the structure can avoid flowing caused by accessing missing due to the cache of illegal command in streamline cleanup process completely Waterline pauses, and realizes the zero-waiting of streamline without carrying out access request, hence it is evident that accelerate the speed of abnormality processing, be conducive to Improve the real-time of whole system.
