[gem5-users] stopping simulation via ThreadContext::halt()

[David Bears via gem5-users]

Hello,








Thanks is advance,
David

I am trying to create a fault which will stop the simulation. I tried calling ThreadContext::halt from within FaultBase::invoke (or rather a subclass of FaultBase). This successfully stops simulation of the CPU, but then it endlessly simulates memory refreshes. So how should I properly shut down the simulated system so that the gem5.opt process finishes? Do I have to do something in addition to calling ThreadContext::halt? Is ThreadContext::halt the wrong tool for the job? Or perhaps do I have something else set up wrong? For context, I implemented most of the NIOS II ISA in gem5, and I am running an executable which is designed to run on bare metal. There is a particular 'magic' instruction which signals that the executable is finished, and I want to stop the simulation sometime after committing such an instruction.
