No, it should take a couple of hours tops (for me it was like half an
hour I think). Try using gdb as Giacomo suggested and also maybe share
the command you used to run gem5. You can also run gem5 and attach a
terminal (look at the wiki of how to do this). This will give you
interactive access to gem5, while running, and maybe you can see this
way where it gets stuck, if that's the case.

I don't know what is going on and what the boot script is doing.
For me the easy way to create a checkpoint is to
1) $cd util/term
2) $make
Now you have m5term compiled.
From another terminal run your simulation (without bootscritpt) and
see which is the local port (usually 3456)
From the other terminal do
$./m5term localhost 3456
Now you have a terminal attached to your guest system: once you boot
Linux, just type on this terminal:
$/sbin/m5 checkpoint
This will create a checkpoint.
If you now want to exit simulation, type on the same terminal
$/sbin/m5 exit

I guess using -l 1000000000 is not enough to reach the benchmark
itself and you finish before bootup, that's why you observe the same
behavior. To create the checkpoint after boot, you need to run the
script found in
configs/boot/hack_back_ckpt.rcS. Run it like this:
gem5.opt \
--outdir=a/directory/to/store/boot_ckpt \
configs/example/fs.py \
--kernel=...\
--disk-image=... \
--script=/configs/boot/hack_back_ckpt.rcS \
--cpu-type=AtomicSimpleCPU --num-cpus=1 --mem-size=...
You should have your checkpoint in the director you set with outdir.
To run from the checkpoint you need to use the following with your fs.py:
--checkpoint-dir=a/directory/to/store/boot_ckpt -r 1

Can you share the output from stdout and stderr? Also have you
checked system.terminal? There may be some clues of the error there
as well if the commands in the rcs script are not correct or you have
any missing dependencies in your disk image, for whatever reason.
You can also try to first generate simpoints etc for a simple
program, something like a simple loop in C, so that we can figure out
if the problem is in the SPEC or gem5.

I am not sure if this is possible in FS, at least not the same way
you do in SE. You will need to use simpoints in order to create
checkpoints for you code. After that you basically segment your
code into smaller, say 1000000 instructions per segment, which you
can run. Check the link I sent in my previous message. However
note that you will need to run the code for each benchmark twice,
once for generating the simpoint files and once to set the
checkpoints. For me this can take up to 4 week for the larger
codes, and a few days for the smaller ones in SPEC CPU 2017. Once
you have the checkpoints though, it should take a couple of hours.
I don't know if there is a faster way to do this, maybe someone
else has a better suggestion.

Hi,
Here is an example of an .rcs script. As Ciro told you, first you
need to have a bootable image, optionally create a checkpoint
after boot and finally add the benchmarks to the cd image.
#/bin/bash
cd
/your/path/SPEC_CPU_2017/benchspec/CPU/627.cam4_s/run/run_base_refspeed_aarch64-64.0000
/sbin/m5 dumpresetstats
/yourpath/SPEC_CPU_2017/benchspec/CPU/627.cam4_s/exe/cam4_s_base.aarch64-64
/sbin/m5 exit
In the example above you simply cd to the directory of the
benchmark you want to use and then run it. /sbin/m5
dumperesetstats resets your statistics counters and exit is used
to finish the execution. Note I use spec 2017, which I found that
it's best to run directly as I do above than use their
infrastructure. Problem is that FS is too slow and you waste a
lot of time running their python scripts. Also, I would encourage
you to learn about simpoints <http://gem5.org/Simpoints> if you
plan on running SPEC CPU 2006 with anything more than the test
inputs. Running with ref will take days/weeks.
Best,
Dimitrios Chasapis

You just have to add SPEC CPU to the image yourself as explained
there. I can't fully automate SPEC CPU build because it is closed source.
