Set the default release to that single value for all ISAs. glibc has checks for the kernel version based on uname, and refuses to start any syscall emulation programs if those checks don't pass with error: FATAL: kernel too old The ideal solution to this problem is to actually implement all missing system calls for the required kernel version and bumping the release accordingly. However, it is very hard to implement all missing syscalls and verify compliance. Previously, we have simply bumped the version manually from time to time when major glibc versions started breaking. This commit alleviates the problem in two ways. Firstly, having a single kernel version for all versions means that it is easier to bump all versions at once. Secondly, it makes it is possible to set the release with a parameter, which in turn can be set from the command line with: se.py --param 'system.cpu[:].workload[:].release = "4.18.0"' Change-Id: I9e3c31073bfe68735f7b0775c8e299aa62b98222 Reviewed-on: https://gem5-review.googlesource.com/c/public/gem5/+/17849 Maintainer: Brandon Potter <Brandon.Potter@amd.com> Reviewed-by: Jason Lowe-Power <jason@lowepower.com> Tested-by: kokoro <noreply+kokoro@google.com>
This is the gem5 simulator. The main website can be found at http://www.gem5.org A good starting point is http://www.gem5.org/Introduction, and for more information about building the simulator and getting started please see http://www.gem5.org/Documentation and http://www.gem5.org/Tutorials. To build gem5, you will need the following software: g++ or clang, Python (gem5 links in the Python interpreter), SCons, SWIG, zlib, m4, and lastly protobuf if you want trace capture and playback support. Please see http://www.gem5.org/Dependencies for more details concerning the minimum versions of the aforementioned tools. Once you have all dependencies resolved, type 'scons build/<ARCH>/gem5.opt' where ARCH is one of ALPHA, ARM, NULL, MIPS, POWER, SPARC, or X86. This will build an optimized version of the gem5 binary (gem5.opt) for the the specified architecture. See http://www.gem5.org/Build_System for more details and options. With the simulator built, have a look at http://www.gem5.org/Running_gem5 for more information on how to use gem5. The basic source release includes these subdirectories: - configs: example simulation configuration scripts - ext: less-common external packages needed to build gem5 - src: source code of the gem5 simulator - system: source for some optional system software for simulated systems - tests: regression tests - util: useful utility programs and files To run full-system simulations, you will need compiled system firmware (console and PALcode for Alpha), kernel binaries and one or more disk images. Please see the gem5 download page for these items at http://www.gem5.org/Download If you have questions, please send mail to gem5-users@gem5.org Enjoy using gem5 and please share your modifications and extensions.
