The Tarmac v8 Register ("R") record serialisation formats the
underlying 64-bit storage using a format string field width specifier.
This sets a minimum number of hex characters for the value, rather
than a maximum number of characters.
Because of this, when formatting a narrowed view of a larger
register (e.g. the 32-bit w0 view of the 64-bit x0 register), if any
of the upper bits in the underlying storage are set, then the number
of hex characters used will be the minimum number required to
represent the full value. This could result in irregular formatting,
for example an odd number of hex characters.
This irregular formatting can cause parsing warnings or failures in
some Tarmac tools, for example the Arm Tarmac Trace Utilities [1].
This patch modifies the "R" record formatting to first mask off the
upper bits of the value in the underlying storage to ensure that the
correct number of hex characters are used for the size of the register
being serialised.

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/about, and for more information about building the simulator and getting started please see http://www.gem5.org/documentation and http://www.gem5.org/documentation/learning_gem5/introduction. To build gem5, you will need the following software: g++ or clang, Python (gem5 links in the Python interpreter), SCons, zlib, m4, and lastly protobuf if you want trace capture and playback support. Please see http://www.gem5.org/documentation/general_docs/building for more details concerning the minimum versions of these tools. Once you have all dependencies resolved, type 'scons build/<CONFIG>/gem5.opt' where CONFIG is one of the options in build_opts like ARM, NULL, MIPS, POWER, SPARC, X86, Garnet_standalone, etc. This will build an optimized version of the gem5 binary (gem5.opt) with the the specified configuration. See http://www.gem5.org/documentation/general_docs/building for more details and options. The main source tree includes these subdirectories: - build_opts: pre-made default configurations for gem5 - build_tools: tools used internally by gem5's build process. - configs: example simulation configuration scripts - ext: less-common external packages needed to build gem5 - include: include files for use in other programs - site_scons: modular components of the build system - 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 may need compiled system firmware, kernel binaries and one or more disk images, depending on gem5's configuration and what type of workload you're trying to run. Many of those resources can be downloaded from http://resources.gem5.org, and/or from the git repository here: https://gem5.googlesource.com/public/gem5-resources/ If you have questions, please send mail to gem5-users@gem5.org Enjoy using gem5 and please share your modifications and extensions.
