User script now invokes initialization and
simulation loop after building configuration.
These functions are exported from C++ to Python
using SWIG.
SConstruct:
Set up SWIG builder & scanner.
Set up symlinking of source files into build directory
(by not disabling the default behavior).
configs/test/test.py:
Rewrite to use new script-driven interface.
Include a sample option.
src/SConscript:
Set up symlinking of source files into build directory
(by not disabling the default behavior).
Add SWIG-generated main_wrap.cc to source list.
src/arch/SConscript:
Set up symlinking of source files into build directory
(by not disabling the default behavior).
src/arch/alpha/ev5.cc:
src/arch/alpha/isa/decoder.isa:
src/cpu/o3/alpha_cpu_impl.hh:
src/cpu/trace/opt_cpu.cc:
src/cpu/trace/trace_cpu.cc:
src/sim/pseudo_inst.cc:
src/sim/root.cc:
src/sim/serialize.cc:
src/sim/syscall_emul.cc:
SimExit() is now exitSimLoop().
src/cpu/base.cc:
SimExitEvent is now SimLoopExitEvent
src/python/SConscript:
Add SWIG build command for main.i.
Use python/m5 in build dir as source for zip archive...
easy now with file duplication enabled.
src/python/m5/__init__.py:
- Move copyright notice back to C++ so we can print
it right away, even for interactive sessions.
- Get rid of argument parsing code; just provide default
option descriptors for user script to call optparse with.
- Don't clutter m5 namespace by sucking in all of m5.config
and m5.objects.
- Move instantiate() function here from config.py.
src/python/m5/config.py:
- Move instantiate() function to __init__.py.
- Param.Foo deferred type lookups must use m5.objects
namespace now (not m5).
src/python/m5/objects/AlphaConsole.py:
src/python/m5/objects/AlphaFullCPU.py:
src/python/m5/objects/AlphaTLB.py:
src/python/m5/objects/BadDevice.py:

src/python/m5/objects/SimpleDisk.py:
src/python/m5/objects/System.py:
src/python/m5/objects/Tsunami.py:
src/python/m5/objects/Uart.py:
Fix up imports (m5 namespace no longer includes m5.config).
src/sim/eventq.cc:
src/sim/eventq.hh:
Support for Python-called simulate() function:
- Use IsExitEvent flag to signal events that want
to exit the simulation loop gracefully (instead of
calling exit() to terminate the process).
- Modify interface to hand exit event object back to
caller so it can be inspected for cause.
src/sim/host.hh:
Add MaxTick constant.
src/sim/main.cc:
Move copyright notice back to C++ so we can print
it right away, even for interactive sessions.
Use PYTHONPATH environment var to set module path
(instead of clunky code injection method).
Move main control from here into Python:
- Separate initialization code and simulation loop
into separate functions callable from Python.
- Make Python interpreter invocation more pure (more
like directly invoking interpreter).
Add -i and -p flags (only options on binary itself;
other options processed by Python).
Import readline package when using interactive mode.
src/sim/sim_events.cc:
SimExitEvent is now SimLoopExitEvent, and uses
IsSimExit flag to terminate loop (instead of
exiting simulator process).
src/sim/sim_events.hh:
SimExitEvent is now SimLoopExitEvent, and uses
IsSimExit flag to terminate loop (instead of
exiting simulator process).
Get rid of a few unused constructors.
src/sim/sim_exit.hh:
SimExit() is now exitSimLoop().
Get rid of unused functions.
Add comments.

This is release m5_1.1 of the M5 simulator. This file contains brief "getting started" instructions. For more information, see http://m5.eecs.umich.edu. If you have questions, please send mail to m5sim-users@lists.sourceforge.net. WHAT'S INCLUDED (AND NOT) ------------------------- The basic source release includes these subdirectories: - m5: the simulator itself - m5-test: regression tests - ext: less-common external packages needed to build m5 - alpha-system: source for Alpha console and PALcode To run full-system simulations, you will need compiled console, PALcode, and kernel binaries and one or more disk images. These files are collected in a separate archive, m5_system_1.1.tar.bz2. This file is included on the CD release, or you can download it separately from Sourceforge. M5 supports Linux 2.4/2.6, FreeBSD, and the proprietary Compaq/HP Tru64 version of Unix. We are able to distribute Linux and FreeBSD bootdisks, but we are unable to distribute bootable disk images of Tru64 Unix. If you have a Tru64 license and are interested in obtaining disk images, contact us at m5-dev@eecs.umich.edu. The CD release includes a few extra goodies, such as a tar file containing doxygen-generated HTML documentation (html-docs.tar.gz), a set of Linux source patches (linux_m5-2.6.8.1.diff), and the scons program needed to build M5. If you do not have the CD, the same HTML documentation is available online at http://m5.eecs.umich.edu/docs, the Linux source patches are available at http://m5.eecs.umich.edu/dist/linux_m5-2.6.8.1.diff, and the scons program is available from http://www.scons.org. WHAT'S NEEDED ------------- - GCC version 3.3 or newer - Python 2.3 or newer - SCons 0.96.1 or newer (see http://www.scons.org) WHAT'S RECOMMENDED ------------------ - MySQL (for statistics complex statistics storage/retrieval) - Python-MysqlDB (for statistics analysis) GETTING STARTED --------------- There are two different build targets and three optimizations levels: Target: ------- ALPHA_SE - Syscall emulation simulation ALPHA_FS - Full system simulation Optimization: ------------- m5.debug - debug version of the code with tracing and without optimization m5.opt - optimized version of code with tracing m5.fast - optimized version of the code without tracing and asserts Different targets are built in different subdirectories of m5/build. Binaries with the same target but different optimization levels share the same directory. Note that you can build m5 in any directory you choose;p just configure the target directory using the 'mkbuilddir' script in m5/build. The following steps will build and test the simulator. The variable "$top" refers to the top directory where you've unpacked the files, i.e., the one containing the m5, m5-test, and ext directories. If you have a multiprocessor system, you should give scons a "-j N" argument (like make) to run N jobs in parallel. To build and test the syscall-emulation simulator: cd $top/m5/build scons ALPHA_SE/test/opt/quick This process takes under 10 minutes on a dual 3GHz Xeon system (using the '-j 4' option). To build and test the full-system simulator: 1. Unpack the full-system binaries from m5_system_1.1.tar.bz2. (See above for directions on obtaining this file if you don't have it.) This package includes disk images and kernel, palcode, and console binaries for Linux and FreeBSD. 2. Edit the SYSTEMDIR search path in $top/m5-test/SysPaths.py to include the path to your local copy of the binaries. 3. In $top/m5/build, run "scons ALPHA_FS/test/opt/quick". This process also takes under 10 minutes on a dual 3GHz Xeon system (again using the '-j 4' option).
