## Introduction
This PR implements the ZCMT extension in the CVA6 core, targeting the 32-bit embedded-class platforms. ZCMT is a code-size reduction feature that utilizes compressed table jump instructions (cm.jt and cm.jalt) to reduce code size for embedded systems
**Note:** Due to implementation complexity, ZCMT extension is primarily targeted at embedded class CPUs. Additionally, it is not compatible with architecture class profiles.(Ref. [Unprivilege spec 27.20](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uviu1nH-tScFfgrovvFCrj7Omv8tFtkp/view))
## Key additions
- Added zcmt_decoder module for compressed table jump instructions: cm.jt (jump table) and cm.jalt (jump-and-link table)
- Implemented the Jump Vector Table (JVT) CSR to store the base address of the jump table in csr_reg module
- Implemented a return address stack, enabling cm.jalt to behave equivalently to jal ra (jump-and-link with return address), by pushing the return address onto the stack in zcmt_decoder module
## Implementation in CVA6
The implementation of the ZCMT extension involves the following major modifications:
### compressed decoder
The compressed decoder scans and identifies the cm.jt and cm.jalt instructions, and generates signals indicating that the instruction is both compressed and a ZCMT instruction.
### zcmt_decoder
A new zcmt_decoder module was introduced to decode the cm.jt and cm.jalt instructions, fetch the base address of the JVT table from JVT CSR, extract the index and construct jump instructions to ensure efficient integration of the ZCMT extension in embedded platforms. Table.1 shows the IO port connection of zcmt_decoder module. High-level block diagram of zcmt implementation in CVA6 is shown in Figure 1.

fetch_stall_o | out | Stall siganl | cvxif_compressed_if_driver | logic
req_port_o | out | Handshake between CACHE and FRONTEND (fetch) | Cache | dcache_req_i_t
### branch unit condition
A condition is implemented in the branch unit to ensure that ZCMT instructions always cause a misprediction, forcing the program to jump to the calculated address of the newly constructed jump instruction.
### JVT CSR
A new JVT csr is implemented in csr_reg which holds the base address of the JVT table. The base address is fetched from the JVT CSR, and combined with the index value to calculate the effective address.
### No MMU
Embedded platform does not utilize the MMU, so zcmt_decoder is connected with cache through port 0 of the Dcache module for implicit read access from the memory.
_Figure. 1 High level block diagram of ZCMT extension implementation_
## Known Limitations
The implementation targets 32-bit instructions for embedded-class platforms without an MMU. Since the core does not utilize an MMU, it is leveraged to connect the zcmt_decoder to the cache via port 0.
## Testing and Verification
- Developed directed test cases to validate cm.jt and cm.jalt instruction functionality
- Verified correct initialization and updates of JVT CSR
### Test Plan
A test plan is developed to test the functionality of ZCMT extension along with JVT CSR. Directed Assembly test executed to check the functionality.
_Table. 2 Test plan_
S.no | Features | Description | Pass/Fail Criteria | Test Type | Test status
-- | -- | -- | -- | ---- | --
1 | cm.jt | Simple assembly test to validate the working of cm.jt instruction in CV32A60x. | Check against Spike's ref. model | Directed | Pass
2 | cm.jalt | Simple assembly test to validate the working of cm.jalt instruction in both CV32A60x. | Check against Spike's ref. model | Directed | Pass
3 | cm.jalt with return address stack | Simple assembly test to validate the working of cm.jalt instruction with return address stack in both CV32A60x. It works as jump and link ( j ra, imm) | Check against Spike's ref. model | Directed | Pass
4 | JVT CSR | Read and write base address of Jump table to JVT CSR | Check against Spike's ref. model | Directed | Pass

This PR modifies some components in the CVA6 to fully support the WB mode of the HPDcache.
When on WB mode, there may be coherency issues between the Instruction Cache and the Data Cache. This may happen when the software writes on instruction segments (e.g. to relocate a code in memory).
This PR contains the following modifications:
The CVA6 controller module rises the flush signal to the caches when executing a fence or fence.i instruction.
The HPDcache cache subsystem translates this fence signal to a FLUSH request to the cache (when the HPDcache is in WB mode).
Add new parameters in the CVA6 configuration packages:
DcacheFlushOnInvalidate: It changes the behavior of the CVA6 controller. When this parameter is set, the controller rises the Flush signal on fence instructions.
DcacheInvalidateOnFlush: It changes the behavior of the HPDcache request adapter. When issuing a flush, it also asks the HPDcache to invalidate the cachelines.
Add additional values to the DcacheType enum: HPDCACHE_WT, HPDCACHE_WB, HPDCACHE_WT_WB
In addition, it also fixes some issues with the rvfi_mem_paddr signal from the store_buffer.

Introduction
This PR adds support for Zbkb extension in the CVA6 core. It also adds the documentation for this extension. These changes have been tested with self-written single instruction tests and with the riscv-arch-tests. This PR will be followed by other PRs that will add complete support for the Zkn - NIST Algorithm Suite extension.
Implementation
Zbkb Extension:
Added support for the Zbkb instruction set. It essentially expands the Zbb extension with additional instructions useful in cryptography. These instructions are pack, packh, packw, brev8, unzip and zip.
Modifications
1. A new bit ZKN was added. The complete Zkn extension will be added under this bit for ease of use. This configuration will also require the RVB (bitmanip) bit to be set.
2. Updated the ALU and decoder to recognize and handle Zbkb instructions.
Documentation and Reference
The official RISC-V Cryptography Extensions Volume I was followed to ensure alignment with ratification. The relevant documentation for the Zbkb instruction was also added.
Verification
Assembly Tests:
The instructions were tested and verified with the K module of both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of the riscv-arch-tests to ensure proper functionality. These tests check for ISA compliance, edge cases and use assertions to ensure expected behavior. The tests include:
pack-01.S
packh-01.S
packw-01.S
brev8-01.S
unzip-01.S
zip-01.S
* Due to the increased count of warnings, provide tail of log instead of head on the dashboard
* Add tandem yaml report file on the jobs reports
* Reduce UVM Verbosity on smoke gen tests
* cva6 refactor & cleanup to enable tandem reports generation for elf tests such as testelf for simu-gate:
1. merge redundant functions to run directed tests in `cva6.py` (`run_c`, `run_elf`, `run_assembly` -> `run_test`)
2. removed broken and unused functions by the way (`run_c_from_dir`, `run_assembly_from_dir`)
* collect sim reports of simu-gate job to display them in the cva6 dashboard : ⚠️ the simu gate job will still fail but the result on the dashboard will be accurate and will allow debugging
- FIX: Replace riscv_pkg:VLEN by CVA6Cfg.VLEN
- Declare VLEN as new CVA6 parameter
- smoke-hwconfig: run with vcs-uvm and use return0 tests to speed-up CI light stage timing execution
- Use dedicated linker scripts for 65x configuration.
- Use dedicated spike.yaml for 65x configuration.
- Set BHTEntries=128, cache=WT, scoreboard entries=8 to improve Coremark and Dhrystone results
- Run 4 iterations of coremark to improve results
