Decoder: gpu_decoder.hh and decoder.cc:
The decoder is defined in these files. The decoder
is implemented as a lookup table of function pointers
where each decode function will decode to a unique
ISA instruction, or do some sub-decoding to infer
the next decode function to call.
The format for each OP encoding is defined in the
header file.
Registers:
registers.[hh|cc] define the special registers and
operand selector values, which are used to map
operands to registers/special values. many
convenience functions are also provides to determine
the source/type of an operand, for example vector
vs. scalar, register operand vs. constant, etc.
GPU ISA:
Some special GPU ISA state is maintained in gpu_isa.hh
and isa.cc. This class is used to hold some special
registers and values that can be used as operands
by ISA instructions. Eventually more ISA-specific
state should be moved here, and out of the WF class.
Vector Operands:
The operands for GCN3 instructions are defined in
operand.hh. This file defines both scalar and
vector operands wth GCN3 specific semantics. The
vector operand class is desgned around the generic
vec_reg.hh that is already present in gem5.
Instructions:
The GCN3 instructions are defined and implemented
throughout gpu_static_inst.[hh|cc], instructions.[hh|cc],
op_encodings.[hh|cc], and inst_util.hh. GCN3 instructions
all fall under one of the OP encoding types; for example
scalar memory operands are of the type SMEM, vector
ALU instructions can be VOP3, VOP2, etc. The base code
common to all instructions of a certain OP encoding type
is implemented in the OP encodings files, which includes
operand information, disassembly methods, encoding type,
etc.
Each individual ISA isntruction is implemented as
a class object in instructions.[hh|cc] and are derived
from one of the OP encoding types. The instructions.cc
file is primarily for the execute() methods of each
individual instruction, and the header file provides
the class definition and a few instruction specific
API calls.
Note that these instruction classes were auto-generated
but not using the gem5 ISA description language. A
custom ISA description was used and that cannot be released
publicly, therefore we are providing them already in C++.

Add a git commit-msg hook that verifies that commit messages follow
gem5 guidelines.
Commit messages must contain the following components:
<gem5_tags>: <title>
<description>
<patch_tags>
<gem5_tags> are comma separated keywords (found in MAINTAINERS) that
describe which sections of gem5 are being modified by the patch.
Two special keywords can also be used to imply that the author is
looking for feedback on the way their commit was implemented (RFC),
and to inform that the commit is a work in progress (WIP).
<title> A short and concise description of the commit without trailing
whitespaces
<description> is an optional (yet highly recommended) detailed
description of the objective of the commit.
<patch_tags> describe the metadata of the commit, and most of them
are automatically added by Gerrit.
