plugins/cache: implement unified L2 cache emulation
This adds an implementation of a simple L2 configuration, in which a unified L2 cache (stores both blocks of instructions and data) is maintained for each core separately, with no inter-core interaction taken in account. The L2 cache is used as a backup for L1 and is only accessed if the wanted block does not exist in L1. In terms of multi-threaded user-space emulation, the same approximation of L1 is done, a static number of caches is maintained, and each and every memory access initiated by a thread will have to go through one of the available caches. An atomic increment is used to maintain the number of L2 misses per instruction. The default cache parameters of L2 caches is: 2MB cache size 16-way associativity 64-byte blocks Signed-off-by: Mahmoud Mandour <ma.mandourr@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Bennée <alex.bennee@linaro.org> Message-Id: <20210810134844.166490-3-ma.mandourr@gmail.com> Message-Id: <20211026102234.3961636-15-alex.bennee@linaro.org>
