For my purposes, what I've done is the following. Near the beginning of my program, I malloc some space, access that space, and then print out the address that was returned by malloc. I then look at a trace of TLB activity (which you can gather using debug-flags=TLB option) to find when that address was translated. This will give a time stamp soon after the program begins executing. For me, the debug-flags option has worked with gem5.opt. I understand that this is probably not the best way of doing what you need to do, but perhaps it will provide a starting point for you.
