在gem5的full system下运行 x86编译的测试程序 running gem5 on ubuntu in full system mode in x86

背景

上篇博客写了如何在gem5的full system模式运行alpha的指令编译的程序,这篇博客讲述如何在gem5的full system模式运行x86指令集编译的程序,这两种方式非常类似。

首先需要安装gem5-stable,可以参考我前面的一篇博客:

http://blog.csdn.net/wyj7260/article/details/8267345

这篇文章介绍full system  in  x86。

安装过程:

下载full system需要的两个包:

首先在安装好gem5-stable之后,再到官网下载full system需要的包:

Full System Files : http://www.m5sim.org/dist/current/x86/x86-system.tar.bz2

Config files : http://www.m5sim.org/dist/current/x86/config-x86.tar.bz2

安装:记我的gem5-stable安装目录为$GEM

a)      ~/gem5-stable$  mkdir x86Dist

b)      将包x86-system.tar.bz2和config-x86.tar.bz2复制到x86Dist目录下

b) ~/gem5-stable$ cd x86Dist/

c) ~/gem5-stable/x86Dist$  tar -xvf x86-system.tar.bz2

把exceptKeyError:

path = [ '/dist/m5/system', '/n/poolfs/z/dist/m5/system

修改成

except KeyError:

path = [ '/dist/m5/system', ' /home/wyj2/gem5-stable/x86Dist' ]

运行(运行过程中遇到的error以及解决方法)

1、  首先编译gem5.opt

~/gem5-stable $ scons ./build/x86/gem5.opt

2、运行模拟的linux系统

~/gem5-stable$ ./build/X86/gem5.opt ./configs/example/fs.py

报错如下:

gem5 Simulator System. http://gem5.org

解决方法:

提示不能打开x86root.img,于是我查找x86root.img

命令:~/gem5-stable$ grep -r"x86root.img" ./

得到如下:

./configs/common/Benchmarks.py:            return env.get('LINUX_IMAGE',disk('x86root.img'))

如实修改Benchmarks.py, 把return env.get('LINUX_IMAGE',disk('x86root.img'))改成

return env.get('LINUX_IMAGE', disk('linux-x86.img'))

然后执行:

~/gem5-stable$ ./build/X86/gem5.opt ./configs/example/fs.py

缺少linux-bigswap2.img文件,秩序要将alpha的full system下载的包Full System Files解压后的linux-bigswap2.img拷贝到目录/home/wyj2/gem5-stable/x86Dist/disks/就行。

(full system Files下载地址http://www.m5sim.org/dist/current/m5_system_2.0b3.tar.bz2解压也可得)

运行

~/gem5-stable$ ./build/X86/gem5.opt ./configs/example/fs.py

仍然报错

[initState:build/X86/arch/x86/system.cc, line 118]

这是因为运行时需要制定kernel:

运行命令为:

./build/X86/gem5.opt ./configs/example/fs.py --kernel=x86_64-vmlinux-2.6.22.9.smp

注意:此处不用制定.smp文件的路径,只用文件名就行

剩下的mount文件到模拟的系统同上一篇关于alpha的full system
