[Barrelfish-users] Problems about Running ARM Barrelfish on Gem5

[Wayne Zhang]

Dear all,

To more specify my problem, I use the version 6385cf85bf12 of gem5 with
CoherentBus.

And when I run "make arm_gem5":
It shows:

*telnet 127.0.0.1 3456*
*Trying 127.0.0.1...*
*Connected to 127.0.0.1.*
*Escape character is '^]'.*
*==== m5 slave terminal: Terminal 0 ====*
*Kernel starting at address 0x82080000*
*Barrelfish CPU driver starting on ARMv7 Board id 0x000008e0*
*The address of paging_map_kernel_section is 0x82084bec*
*gic_enable_interrupt for id=0x22, offset=0x4, index=0x1*
*kernel PANIC! kernel assertion "int_id <= it_num_lines" failed at
../kernel/arch/armv7/gic.c:102*


I find that *it_num_lines *is set to be 3 (less than 0x22).
But when I manually initialize *it_num_lines  *to 128. There is another
problem:
In "make arm_gem5" shell:

*warn: Trying to access SPSR in an invalid mode: 31*
*warn: Trying to access SPSR in an invalid mode: 31*
*warn: Trying to access SPSR in an invalid mode: 31*
*warn: Trying to access SPSR in an invalid mode: 31*

In telnet shell:

*Can't deliver exception to thread: handler not set*
*kernel user undef fault WHILE DISABLED in 'init': IP 4673040*

I read through
https://lists.inf.ethz.ch/pipermail/barrelfish-users/2012-June/000694.html.
But I cannot solve the problem.

What should I do to solve this?

Thank you~
