Andreas Sandberg dd0f54fed6 tests: Add a test command to get test status as an exit code
Add a "test" command to tests.py that queries a test pickle file and
returns different exit codes depending on the outcome of the tests in
the file. The following exit codes can currently be returned:

  * 0: All tests were successful or skipped.

  * 1: General fault in the script such as incorrect parameters or
    failing to parse a pickle file.

  * 2: At least one test failed to run. This is what the summary
    formatter usually shows as a 'FAILED'.

  * 3: All tests ran correctly, but at least one failed to verify
    its output. When displaying test output using the summary
    formatter, such a test would show up as 'CHANGED'.

The command can be invoked like this:

./tests/tests.py test `find build/ARM/tests/opt/ -name status.pickle`

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.
