Microprocessor including virtual address branch prediction and current page register to provide page portion of virtual and physical fetch address |
abstract |
A microprocessor employs a branch prediction unit including a branch prediction storage which stores the index portion of branch target addresses and an instruction cache which is virtually indexed and physically tagged. The branch target index (if predicted-taken), or the sequential index (if predicted not-taken) is provided as the index to the instruction cache. The selected physical tag is provided to a reverse translation lookaside buffer (TLB) which translates the physical tag to a virtual page number. Concatenating the virtual page number to the virtual index from the instruction cache (and the offset portion, generated from the branch prediction) results in the branch target address being generated. In one embodiment, a current page register stores the most recently translated virtual page number and the corresponding real page number. The branch prediction unit predicts that each fetch address will continue to reside in the current page and uses the virtual page number from the current page to form the branch Target address. The physical tag from the fetched cache line is compared to the corresponding real page number to verify that the fetch address is actually still within the current page. When a mismatch is detected between the corresponding real page number and the physical tag from the fetched cache line, the branch target address is corrected with the linear page number provided by the reverse TLB and the current page register is updated. |
