gem5和nvmain混合编译

由于做混合内存，需要使用nvmain来做NVM的模拟，使用gem5做全系统的仿真，两者结合使用。

1、安装gem5

gem5的安装，包括相关依赖环境的安装见我的另外一篇博客：gem5的安装、编译及运行，这里使用的是mercurial版本控制系统下载的gem5，如果使用git版本控制系统下载的gem5或者自己网上直接找的解压版，相关的操作要稍有不同。

2、下载nvmain

从https://bitbucket.org/mrp5060/nvmain/get/ab9ffcd06253.zip下载nvmain，并解压。

3、配置

①打开hgrc文件：vim ~/gem5/.hg/hgrc,将以下文件内容拷贝到里面，修改相关信息（username，style，from）为自己的，信息的修改只是一种标识，不影响编译和使用，这里添加的内容，最重要的是

[extensions]
hgext.mq =

这个为hg扩充了命令，如果没有这两行，后面有的命令无法执行。

[ui]
# Set the username you will commit code with
username=Your Name <your@email.address>
ssh = ssh -C
# Always use git diffs since they contain permission changes and rename info
[defaults]
qrefresh = --git
email = --git
diff = --git
[extensions]
# These are various extensions we find useful
# Mercurial Queues -- allows managing of changes as a series of patches
hgext.mq =
# PatchBomb -- send a series of changesets as e-mailed patches
hgext.patchbomb =
# External Diff tool (e.g. kdiff3, meld, vimdiff, etc)
hgext.extdiff =
# Fetch allows for a pull/update operation to be done with one command and automatically commits a merge changeset
hgext.fetch =
# Path to the style file for the M5 repository
# This file enforces our coding style requirements
style = /path/to/your/m5/util/style.py
[email]
method = smtp
from = Your Name <your@email.address>
[smtp]
host = your.smtp.server.here

②在gem5根目录执行：hg qinit，如果提示*** failed to import extension style from /home/ypf/gem5/util/style.py: No module named file_types,不用理会，不会影响后面使用
③为gem5加入nvmain的补丁：hg qimport -f ../nvmain/patches/gem5/nvmain2-gem5-10688+，nvmain的路径根据自己的来
④应用补丁：hg qpush

4、混合编译

执行scons EXTRAS=../nvmain ./build/X86/gem5.opt编译。
这一步我在实际操作中出现了一些问题，浪费了很多时间，网上查了很多资料，都没有看到有遇到类似问题的（o(╯□╰)o），最终还是自己动手，丰衣足食了
① ImportError: cannot import name Transform

ImportError: cannot import name Transform:File "/home/ypf/gem5/SConstruct", line 1255:SConscript('src/SConscript', variant_dir = variant_path, exports = 'env')File "/usr/lib/scons/SCons/Script/SConscript.py", line 614:return method(*args, **kw)File "/usr/lib/scons/SCons/Script/SConscript.py", line 551:return _SConscript(self.fs, *files, **subst_kw)File "/usr/lib/scons/SCons/Script/SConscript.py", line 260:exec _file_ in call_stack[-1].globalsFile "/home/ypf/gem5/build/X86/SConscript", line 422:SConscript(joinpath(root, 'SConscript'), variant_dir=build_dir)File "/usr/lib/scons/SCons/Script/SConscript.py", line 614:return method(*args, **kw)File "/usr/lib/scons/SCons/Script/SConscript.py", line 551:return _SConscript(self.fs, *files, **subst_kw)File "/usr/lib/scons/SCons/Script/SConscript.py", line 260:exec _file_ in call_stack[-1].globalsFile "/home/ypf/gem5/build/X86/nvmain/SConscript", line 36:from gem5_scons import Transform

找到对应位置File "/home/ypf/gem5/build/X86/nvmain/SConscript", line 36，如下，

from gem5_scons import Transform

就是从gem5_scons导入Transform，但是没有找到gem5_scons，好吧，自己查找下

ypf@ypf:~/gem5$ find . -name 'gem5_scons'
./site_scons/gem5_scons

将整个gem5_scons文件夹拷贝到了nvmain根目录，重新编译这个问题解决
② SyntaxError: invalid syntax

  File "/home/ypf/nvmain/Simulators/gem5/NVMainMemory.py", line 78print "Setting %s to %s" % (param_name, param_value)^SyntaxError: invalid syntax

这个只是一个打印语句，将对应位置这一行注释一下，问题解决

......[    SHCC] libfdt/fdt_ro.c -> .os[    SHCC] libfdt/fdt_rw.c -> .os[    SHCC] libfdt/fdt_sw.c -> .os[    SHCC] libfdt/fdt_wip.c -> .os[    SHCC] libfdt/fdt_empty_tree.c -> .os[    SHCC] libfdt/fdt_strerror.c -> .os[    LINK]  -> X86/gem5.opt

5、测试

执行./build/X86/gem5.opt ./configs/example/se.py -c ./tests/test-progs/hello/bin/x86/linux/hello

ypf@ypf:~/gem5$ ./build/X86/gem5.opt ./configs/example/se.py -c ./tests/test-progs/hello/bin/x86/linux/hello
