Well, whenever I get a segmentation fault with any program, I run it under GDB and figure out where the problem might be. In almost all the cases, this works out well. You might also want to do the same.

To whom it may concern,

I got segmentation fault when trying to create checkpoints for X86_FS with
ruby. Hereunder are the steps, please tell me if there is anything wrong:

1/ Compile Gem5 with RUBY and MOESI_hammer protocol:
   $  scons -j4 build/X86/gem5.fast PROTOCOL=MOESI_hammer RUBY=True

2/ Writing the mcf.rcS script with the checkpoint command. Here is the
script file:
  cd run/run_base_ref_x86.0000
  /sbin/m5 checkpoint 0 0
  /sbin/m5 checkpoint 100000000 200000000
  /sbin/m5 loadsymbol
  /sbin/m5 resetstats
  echo "i am reaching program itself"
  /spec06/429.mcf/exe/mcf_base.exe inp.in
  /sbin/m5 exit

3/ Running the program:
 $ build/X86/gem5.fast -d ruby-output configs/example/ruby_fs.py
--kernel=x86_64-vmlinux-2.6.22.9.smp --script=configs/boot/mcf.rcS
--cpu-type=detailed --caches --ruby --checkpoint-dir=checkpoint-dir

However, when it tried to write the checkpoint, it gave the following
output and exited:
-------------------------------------
info: Entering event queue @ 5169999496500.  Starting simulation...
Writing checkpoint
Segmentation fault
-------------------------------------

I also tried to create checkpoint using options like: --take-checkpoints
"10000000, 10000000", which also encountered the segmentation fault and
exited. Could you please tell me what the problem is? Did I give the wrong
options or any steps missing? Thank you in advance.


Thanks,
Yingying
