When in 64-bit mode, if the stack is accessed implicitly by an instruction the alternate address prefix should be ignored if present. This patch adds an extra flag to the ldstop which signifies when the address override should be ignored. Then, for all of the affected instructions, this patch adds two options to the ld and st opcode to use the current stack addressing mode for all addresses and to ignore the AddressSizeFlagBit. Finally, this patch updates the x86 TLB to not truncate the address if it is in 64-bit mode and the IgnoreAddrSizeFlagBit is set. This fixes a problem when calling __libc_start_main with a binary that is linked with a recent version of ld. This version of ld uses the address override prefix (0x67) on the call instruction instead of a nop. Note: This has not been tested in compatibility mode and only the call instruction with the address override prefix has been tested. See [1] page 9 (pdf page 45) For instructions that are affected see [1] page 519 (pdf page 555). [1] http://support.amd.com/TechDocs/24594.pdf Signed-off-by: Jason Lowe-Power <jason@lowepower.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.
