Notice that Python sucks and does SIGPIPE annoyances, for now work around
by grepping the output file...
Fix the exit status read check with 'b', it broke down occasionally with:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 1832: invalid start byte
Unsquashed version at v2-rc-unsquashed, but that cannot be merged as it
breaks bisects at several points. All bugs will not bisect to this
humongous change.
It all started with a conversion of the Bash scripts to Python, mainly
because I couldn't stand not being able to properly use --options for
run which has a million options.
Then since that required a full testing, I decided to do all the
refactorings that I had in mind at once, and so I did and it became
v2-rc.
This is the largest patch I have ever done! OMG a few weeks of extra time.
I'm never writing a Bash script for anything that starts getting big again.
Some of the features are:
* separate build-qemu and build-gem5 commands
* common: convert scripts to python. Add --option for everything
* rename build to build-buildroot now that we are splitting all the build
commands, Linux kernel to follow
* move all git submodules to submodules/ and all buildroot packages to
packages/
* refactor the out/ structure. Keep projects on toplevel, because guest
projects separate archs and host ones don't, making a toplevel arch wrong
* do-release: rename to just release

* run: add --terminal and explain gem5 pdb
* just track the lvimrc
* store CLI kernel config fragment inside buildlroot to avoid conflicts
* gem5: document m5 initparam
* readme: make a bunch of things awesomer
* readme: fix broken refs
* parsec-benchmark: update to 75d55ac446a43c47efb1044844a108c6c330184c
Could not fetch otherwise.
* gem5: M5_OVERRIDE_PY_SOURCE
