32 # Basic test script for checkpointing.
33 #
34 # Given an M5 command and an interval (in ticks), this script will:
35 # 1. Run the command, dumping periodic checkpoints at the given interval.
36 # 2. Rerun the command for each pair of adjacent checkpoints:
37 # a. Restore from checkpoint N
38 # b. Run until the timestamp of checkpoint N+1
39 # c. Dump a checkpoint and end the simulation
40 # d. Diff the new checkpoint with the original checkpoint N+1
41 #
42 # Note that '--' must be used to separate the script options from the
43 # M5 command line.
44 #
45 # Caveats:
46 #
47 # - This script relies on the checkpoint options implemented in
48 # configs/common/Simulation.py, so it works with commands based on
49 # the se.py and fs.py scripts in configs/example, but does not work
50 # directly with the existing regression tests.
51 # - Interleaving simulator and program output can cause discrepancies
52 # in the file position checkpoint information since different runs
53 # have different amount of simulator output.
54 # - Probably lots more issues we don't even know about yet.
55 #
56 # Examples:
57 #
58 # util/checkpoint-tester.py -i 400000 -- build/<ISA>/m5.opt \
59 # configs/example/se.py -c tests/test-progs/hello/bin/<isa>/tru64/hello \
60 # --output=progout --errout=progerr
61 #
62 # util/checkpoint-tester.py -i 200000000000 -- build/<ISA>/m5.opt \
63 # configs/example/fs.py --script tests/halt.sh
