From: Gabe Black Date: Fri, 5 May 2017 23:53:42 +0000 (-0700) Subject: misc: Add the --listener-loopback-only command line option. X-Git-Tag: v19.0.0.0~2807 X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8b4536556086e82f8edb2cea3ee391c9c3f25f6f;p=gem5.git misc: Add the --listener-loopback-only command line option. This option invokes the Listener::loopbackOnly() static function which will make the port listeners bind to the loopback device exclusively and ignore connections on other devices. That prevents external agents like port scanners from disrupting simulations with spurious connections.
