Extra bits are added alongside read/write data for the instruction and
data buses to facilitate data integrity checking.
Ibex testbench extended to generate the expected bits.
All other top-levels modified to add the new signals (which are mostly
ignored).

This commit adds power analysis scripts to the Arty A7
example design. They can be used by setting the newly
added `FPGAPowerAnalysis` parameter to 1.

1-Port RAM is removed because of both execution and performance
issues. CLKIN1_PERIOD parameter is defined in clkgen module
for Vivado simulations.

This commit updates link.ld RAM length to include max BRAM capacity
for Arty A7-35. It also changes coremark makefile to include a .vmem
output, which then can be used for FPGA implementations.

This commit creates a new top level wrapping the core, register file and
icache RAMs. The tracing top level is also renamed to ibex_top_tracing
to match. This new top level is intended to enable a dual core lockstep
implementation of Ibex.
There are no functional changes in this commit, only wiring.

The documentation restructure in #1119 resulted in a new URL for the
documentation on Ibex system examples. This commit updates the in-tree
link to reference that new URL.

This commit makes sure that whenever Vivado is used, the Verilog
define `FPGA_XILINX` is set. This define can be used to enable Xilinx
specific pragmas in the RTL code. It is currently used to implement
the performance counters with DSP slices (incl. integrated output
registers for counter widths <= 32) which helps to save logic resources
and FFs (-7% and -15% when using e.g. 10 counters).
Previously, we had to set this parameter in every single top-level .core
file using Ibex.

- Add a major and minor alert output which can be used by the system to

Use Xilinx-specific implementations for primitives, such as RAM and the
clock gate (which will now be implemented using a BUFGCE macro, and no
longer with a latch).
Verified in Vivado synthesis to pick up the Xilinx primitive now.
Move Xilinx specific code into shared folder so it can be re-used by
different examples.
Use the shared RAM code and make use of byte enable signal.
Fixeslowrisc/ibex#144
- Add required signals to top-level
- Propagate error through fetch stages
- Add new exception type
- Update documentation for new exception type
- Resolves issue #109
This change is slighly painful, but a necessary cleanup around the
tracer.
- We now provide a separate core file for the tracer, called
"ibex_tracer.core" (in line with "ibex_tracer.sv"). The core is called
"lowrisc:ibex:ibex_tracer".
- The toplevel wrapper with tracing enabled got renamed to
"ibex_core_tracing.sv", and the core file is correspondingly called
"ibex_core_tracing.core. The core in it is called
"lowrisc:ibex:ibex_core_tracing".
- Finally to keep symmetry, the toplevel of Ibex itself got renamed in
the core file from "lowrisc:ibex:ibex" to "lowrisc:ibex:ibex_core".
This ensures that we have the same name for the core file, the source
entry point, and the core name.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you apply this change and use fusesoc, you need to adjust the name of
the core dependency from "lowrisc:ibex:ibex" to
"lowrisc:ibex:ibex_core".
