# GEM5
TODO get working with a Buildroot recent Linux kernel. GEM5 is used mostly by chip makers, and they they keep everything that really works closed... This documents my failed attempts.

- <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37906425/booting-gem5-x86-ubuntu-full-system-simulation>
Vs QEMU:
- advantage: simulates a generic more realistic CPU cycle by cycle, e.g. memory access, caches and page table manipulations. This allows us to:
- do much more realistic performance benchmarking with it
- make functional cache observations, e.g. to use Linux kernel APIs that flush memory like DMA, and are used widely in drivers
- disadvantage: slow
## Working baseline
Working x86 with the pre-built magic image with an ancient 2.6.22.9 kernel starting point:
sudo mkdir -p /dist/m5/system
sudo chmod 777 /dist/m5/system
cd /dist/m5/system
# Backed up at:
# https://github.com/cirosantilli/media/releases/tag/gem5
wget http://www.gem5.org/dist/current/x86/x86-system.tar.bz2
tar xvf x86-system.tar.bz2
cd x86-system
dd if=/dev/zero of=disks/linux-bigswap2.img bs=1024 count=65536
mkswap disks/linux-bigswap2.img
cd ..
sudo apt-get install libgoogle-perftools-dev mercurial protobuf-compiler
git clone https://gem5.googlesource.com/public/gem5
cd gem5
git checkout e519aa4ac2942915355f0ef12e88286322336419
scons -j$(nproc) build_opts/X86/gem5.opt
# That old blob has wrong filenames.
./build/X86/gem5.opt \
-d /tmp/output \

--kernel=/dist/m5/system/binaries/x86_64-vmlinux-2.6.22.9 \

On another shell:
telnet localhost 3456
## Unmodified Buildroot images
bzImage fails, so we always try with vmlinux obtained from inside build/.
rootfs.ext2 and vmlinux from 670366caaded57d318b6dbef34e863e3b30f7f29ails as:

Boot goes quite far, on telnet:
ALSA device list:
No soundcards found.
So just looks like we have to disable some Linux configs which GEM5 does not support... so fragile.
## Copy upstream 2.6 configs on 4.9 kernel
The magic image provides its kernel configurations, so let's try that.
The configs are present at:
wget http://www.gem5.org/dist/current/x86/config-x86.tar.bz2
backed up at: <https://github.com/cirosantilli/media/releases/tag/gem5>
Copy `linux-2.6.22.9` into the kernel tree as `.config`, `git checkout v4.9.6`, `make olddefconfig`, `make`, then use the Buildroot filesystem as above, failure:

## Use upstream 2.6 configs and 2.6 kernel
If we checkout to the ancient kernel `v2.6.22.9`, it fails to compile with modern GNU make 4.1: <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35002691/makefile-make-clean-why-getting-mixed-implicit-and-normal-rules-deprecated-s> lol
