GemFI安装清单

预装软件

需要检查

在安装要求的预装软件之前，需要检查是否有如下软件，否则后面安装预装软件会报错：

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
$ sudo apt-get install flex
$ sudo apt-get install bison
$ sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
$ sudo apt-get install python-docutils

GemFI要求预装的软件

参考官方文字：

To build gem5, you will need the following software:
g++version 4.3 or newer.
Python, version 2.4 - 2.7 (we don’t support Python 3.X). gem5 links in the Python interpreter, so you need the Python header files and shared library (e.g., /usr/lib/libpython2.4.so) in addition to the interpreter executable. These may or may not be installed by default. For example, on Debian/Ubuntu, you need the “python-dev” package in addition to the “python” package. If you need a newer or different Python installation but can’t or don’t want to upgrade the default Python on your system, see http://www.gem5.org/Using_a_non-default_Python_installation
SCons, version 0.98.1 or newer. SCons is a powerful replacement for make. If you don’t have administrator privileges on your machine, you can use the “scons-local” package to install scons in your m5 directory, or install SCons in your home directory using the ‘–prefix=’ option.
SWIG, version 1.3.34 or newer
zlib, any recent version. For Debian/Ubuntu, you will need the “zlib-dev” or
“zlib1g-dev” package to get the zlib.h header file as well as the library
itself.
m4, the macro processor.

笔者使用Ubuntu 15.04 vivid i386，需要预装列表如下

gcc v4.3 or newer

python v2.4-2.7

python-dev (Ubuntu user)

scons v0.98.1 or newer

swig v1.3.34 or newer

m4

zlib1g

zlib1g-dev (Ubuntu user)

protobuf

protobuf-compiler

libprotobuf-dev

dmtcp

gcc、python

已经预装，可以使用如下命令行查看版本号:

$ gcc -v
$ python --version

apt-get安装

$ sudo passwd root
$ su
# apt-get install scons
# apt-get install swig
# apt-get install m4
# apt-get install python-dev
# apt-get install zlib1g
# apt-get install zlib1g-dev
# apt-get install protobuf-compiler
# apt-get install libprotobuf-dev

protobuf安装

# cd /file/of/protobuf
# ./configure
# make
# make check
# make install

dmtcp安装

笔者将dmtcp文件夹放在/home目录下。笔者使用dmtcp-2.4.0-rc3，点击官网链接，获得dmtcp。

# cd /file/of/dmtcp
# ./configure
# make
# make check
# make install

在安装好dmtcp后，/usr/local/include中只有dmtcp.h文件，缺少文件导致随后安装GemFI出错，笔者最后采用手动添加的方式，把dmtcp-2.4.0-rc3文件夹中include子目录下的所有头文件拷贝至/usr/local/include中。

# cp -r /home/dmtcp-2.4.0-rc3/include/* /usr/local/include

GemFI中需要添加的文件

笔者使用alpha指令集全系统仿真，参见官网原文，需要添加如下文件：

Alpha
Full System Files – Pre-compiled Linux kernels, PALcode/Console code, and a filesystem
Unchanged since M5 2.0 beta 3. If you already have these you don’t need them again.
linux-dist – Everything you need to create your own disk image and compile everything in it from scratch

下载链接：
m5_system_2.0b3.tar.bz2
linux-dist.tgz

m5_system_2.0b3

将下载的m5_system_2.0b3.tar.bz2文件解压，新建文件夹dist，将m5_system_2.0b3的两个子文件夹拷贝至dist中。
参考官网原文：

The original system files that can be downloaded from http://www.m5sim.org/Download will have the following directory structure upon extracting:

system/
——binaries/
————console
————ts_osfpal
————vmlinux
——disks/
————linux-bigswap2.img
————linux-latest.img

Now, if you are going to run for the ALPHA ISA, then you need to swap the ts_osfpal, vmlinux, linux-latest.img files in the above directory structure with the ones provided at http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~parsec_m5/

下载文件：
vmlinux_2.6.27-gcc_4.3.4 更名为vmliux并替换binaries中原vmliux
tsb_osfpal 更名为ts_osfpal并替换binaries中原ts_osfpal
linux-parsec-2-1-m5-with-test-inputs.img.bz2 解压并放入disks文件夹，删除原linux-latest.img文件。

参考官网原文：

After unzipping the file, you will need to specify where gem5 should look for the disk image. In the file ./configs/common/SysPaths.py, specify the path to your disk image in the line:

path = [ ’/dist/m5/system’, ’<complete path to your disks and binaries directory>’ ]

Next, in ./configs/common/Benchmarks.py, specify the name of your disk image. For example:

return env.get(’LINUX_IMAGE’, disk(’linux-parsec-2-1-m5.img’))

修改./configs/common/SysPaths.py第53行为：

path = [ '/dist/m5/system', '/home/gemfi-master/dist' ]

修改./configs/common/Benchmarks.py第55行为：

return env.get('LINUX_IMAGE', disk('linux-parsec-2-1-m5-with-test-inputs.img'))

linux-dist

下载linux-dist.tgz并解压，放到gemfi-master文件夹中。

$ cd /file/of/linux-dist
$ sudo ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

随后将gemfi-master文件夹移动到/home目录下：

# mv -t /path/of/gmefi-master/ /home

GemFI安装

在gemfi-master文件夹执行指令如下：

# cd /home/gemfi-master
# scons ./build/ALPHA/gem5.opt
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
……
scons: done building targets.

在./util/term中运行一下指令，以使用m5term：

# cd /home/gemfi-master/util/term
# make
# make install

Addition

在原本的fs.py中315行有

m5.disableAllListeners() 

注释掉该行，以实现在终端上的监听。

新版dmtcp中的dmtcp_checkpoint功能更名为dmtcp_launch。在全系统仿真中运行：

# dmtcp_launch build/ALPHA/gem5.opt configs/example/fs.py
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libdmtcp_alloc.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libdmtcp_dl.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

参考：

etc/ld.so.conf的使用说明

cannot open shared object file

「cannot open shared object file」的解決方案

首先找到文件libdmtcp_alloc.so、libdmtcp_dl.so等的所在位置：

# locate libdmtcp_pid.so
/home/dmtcp-2.4.0-rc3/lib/dmtcp/libdmtcp_pid.so
/usr/lib/dmtcp/libdmtcp_pid.so
/usr/local/lib/dmtcp/libdmtcp_pid.so

可以看到，上述文件存在于三个位置。找到/etc/lb.so.conf文件，其中内容为：

# cat /etc/ld.so.conf
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
# ls /etc/ld.so.conf.d
fakeroot-i386-linux-gnu.conf  i386-linux-gnu_EGL.conf  libc.conf
i386-linux-gnu.conf           i386-linux-gnu_GL.conf

由此可知，路径存放在文件夹中 .conf文件中。向libc.conf添加路径：

# echo "/usr/local/lib/dmtcp" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf
# /sbin/ldconfig

再次运行：

# dmtcp_launch build/ALPHA/gem5.opt configs/example/fs.py
