When clone is called with the VFORK flag, the calling process is suspended until the child process either exits, or calls execve. This patch adds in a new variable to Process, which is used to store the context of the calling process if this process is created through a clone with VFORK set. This patch also adds the required support in clone to suspend the calling thread, and in exitImpl and execveFunc to wake up the calling thread when the child thread calls either of those functions Change-Id: I85af67544ea1d5df7102dcff1331b5a6f6f4fa7c Reviewed-on: https://gem5-review.googlesource.com/c/public/gem5/+/48346 Tested-by: kokoro <noreply+kokoro@google.com> Reviewed-by: Bobby R.

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.
