Hi,

I think you are right; that's a better way to do it.  It should be the path
to the x86 system folder.

Hi,

I followed the steps but when reaching the command "make",I got the same
error message :

CHK    include/linux/version.h
CHK    include/linux/utsrelease.h
SYMLINK include/asm -> include/asm-x86
ln: failed to create symbolic link `include/asm': Read-only file system
make: *** [include/asm] Error 1

When i searched through the internet ,i found that it is due to using the
virtual box ,the symbolic link doesn't work.

So is there any way to use the benchmark PARSEC (for FS mode) without
compiling the Linux kernel ?
Is there any way/hint/suggestion to solve this problem ?

Thank you in advance.
Best Regards

Hi,

I solved the problem in the last email but i got another error when i tried
the command "make" for the Linux kernel 2.6.28.4 as shown:

/home/wael/Mac/Gem5/linux-2.6.28.4/kernel/mutex.c:93: undefined reference
to __mutex_lock_slowpath' kernel/built-in.o: In function mutex_unlock':
/home/wael/Mac/Gem5/linux-2.6.28.4/kernel/mutex.c:118: undefined reference
to `__mutex_unlock_slowpath'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

So please support for this blocking problem.
Any help will be really highly appreciated.

Thanks

AFAIR, you need an older gcc version. Version 4.4 works fine for me:

make -C /path/to/src/linux O=/path/to/build/linux CC=gcc-4.4

Still, it would be nice if someone with the knowledge and time fixed this:

Hi,

what do you mean by "-C /path/to/src/linux O=/path/to/build/linux" ?

As i typed the command " make CC=gcc-4.4",but i got this error message:
scripts/checksyscalls.sh: line 13: cannot create temp file for
here-document: No space left on device
HOSTCC  scripts/mod/file2alias.o
scripts/mod/file2alias.c:847:1: fatal error: error writing to

compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [scripts/mod/file2alias.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [scripts/mod] Error 2
make: *** [scripts] Error 2

So please support.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and time.

'make -C /foo' is similar to '(cd /foo ; make)'.

See 'make -C /path/to/src/linux help' for a description of the 'O' variable.

Hi,
But i made Cd for the linux-2.6.28.4
then i typed the command as shown :
make -C /Mac/gem5/linux-2.6.28.4 O=/Mac/gem5/linux-2.6.28.4 CC=gcc-4.4

I got this error :
make: *** /Mac/gem5/linux-2.6.28.4: No such file or directory.  Stop.

So is there anything missing ?

Thanks

The directory specified by '-C' does not exist. If you're not sure what you're
doing with that command, just follow the standard procedure of 'cd' into the
source directory and then "make CC=gcc-4.4".

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your support as finally i complied the kernel successfully
but when i tried to follow step No.7,i didn't find the new created
vmlinux-2.6.28.4-smp
So is there something wrong ?

Also in the final step ,How did you run without using any scripts ?

Thank you in advance for your time and cooperation.

You should find the generated kernel in file "vmlinux", right in the directory
where you built linux.

M5_PATH=. ./build/X86/gem5.debug --path=./gem5/configs/common/ ./gem5/configs/example/fs.py --kernel=./linux/vmlinux

If you're unable to place files in the proper directories, just follow the
instructions in the GEM5 wiki, as I run it with a slightly different directory
organization.
