This fixes: - unallocated hints that have since been allocated - unallocated and unimplemented hint instructions being treated as Unknown instead of the correct NOP - missing encoding for DBG on A32 Unallocated and unimplemented hints give a warning if executed. The most important fix was for the CSDB Spectre mitigation instruction, which was added recently and previously unallocated and treated as Unknown. The Linux kernel v4.18 ARMv7 uses CSDB it and boot would fail with "undefined instruction" since Linux commit 1d4238c56f9816ce0f9c8dbe42d7f2ad81cb6613 Change-Id: I283da3f08a9af4148edc6fb3ca2930cbb97126b8 Reviewed-by: Giacomo Travaglini <giacomo.travaglini@arm.com> Reviewed-on: https://gem5-review.googlesource.com/c/13475 Reviewed-by: Andreas Sandberg <andreas.sandberg@arm.com> Maintainer: Andreas Sandberg <andreas.sandberg@arm.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.
