This patch contains three fixes to max tick options handling in Options.py and Simulation.py: 1) Since the global simulator frequency isn't bound until m5.instantiate() is called, the maxtick resolution needs to happen after this call, since changes to the global frequency will cause m5.simulate() to misinterpret the maxtick value. Shuffling this also requires tweaking the checkpoint directory handling to signal the checkpoint restore tick back to run(). Fixing this completely and correctly will require storing the simulation frequency into checkpoints, which is beyond the scope of this patch. 2) The maxtick option in Options.py was defaulted to MaxTicks, so the old code would always skip over the maxtime part of the conditionals at the beginning of run(). Change the maxtick default to None, and set the maxtick local variable in run() appropriately. 3) To clarify whether max ticks settings are relative or absolute, split the maxtick option into separate options, for relative and absolute. Ensure that these two options and the maxtime option are handled appropriately to set the maxtick variable in Simulation.py. |
