This is another fix for the AArch32-AArch64 interprocessing issue
introduced in
3d15150d cpu, arch, arch-arm: Wire unused VecElem code in the O3 model.
Register mapping between AArch32 and AArch64 is explicitly defined in
ARMv8 manual. This allows software to read registers right after a state
switch without writing them first, and it is indeed common for software
to save registers to memory first before using them.
In gem5's implementation of vector mode switching, however, vectors may
not be marked as ready right after a state switch. Software reads toward
vectors at this time will stall O3CPU forever. This patch fixes this by
marking all mapped vectors (or vector elements, depending on AArch32 or
AArch64) as ready right after switching vector mode.

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, SWIG, 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 the aforementioned tools. Once you have all dependencies resolved, type 'scons build/<ARCH>/gem5.opt' where ARCH is one of 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/documentation/general_docs/building for more details and options. 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. If you have questions, please send mail to gem5-users@gem5.org Enjoy using gem5 and please share your modifications and extensions.
