/*
* This module contains code to implement various cache-like structures. The
* user instantiates caches using cache_new(). When instantiated, the user
* may specify the geometry of the cache (i.e., number of set, line size,
* associativity), and supply a block access function. The block access
* function indicates the latency to access lines when the cache misses,
* accounting for any component of miss latency, e.g., bus acquire latency,
* bus transfer latency, memory access latency, etc... In addition, the user
* may allocate the cache with or without lines allocated in the cache.
* Caches without tags are useful when implementing structures that map data
* other than the address space, e.g., TLBs which map the virtual address
* space to physical page address, or BTBs which map text addresses to
* branch prediction state. Tags are always allocated. User data may also be
* optionally attached to cache lines, this space is useful to storing
* auxilliary or additional cache line information, such as predecode data,
* physical page address information, etc...
*
* The caches implemented by this module provide efficient storage management
* and fast access for all cache geometries. When sets become highly
* associative, a hash table (indexed by address) is allocated for each set
* in the cache.
*
* This module also tracks latency of accessing the data cache, each cache has
* a hit latency defined when instantiated, miss latency is returned by the
* cache's block access function, the caches may service any number of hits
* under any number of misses, the calling simulator should limit the number
* of outstanding misses or the number of hits under misses as per the
* limitations of the particular microarchitecture being simulated.
*
* Due to the organization of this cache implementation, the latency of a
* request cannot be affected by a later request to this module. As a result,
* reordering of requests in the memory hierarchy is not possible.
