I guess 1 possible way to incorporate your idea is have the Scons script create a temporary 'progress' file in the regression output directory. That file could get continually updated to provide your 'progress bar' so to speak...
The next question is how would M5 communicate that? You could easily put a progress event based on instructions into the BaseCPU as that's already done for things like "max_any_insts". Same for ticks "maxTicks". Not sure if you want to edit the actual internals of the simulator just for the regression progress bar... If you can think of a way for the script to snoop in, read the ticks or instruction count, that would be great, but I'm not sure how you would do that...
