I just realized today that m5 can automatically compress the trace output generated by traceflags. Since I didn't realize this worked I've added to the documentation, but I thought I would also share it with the list:
Trace file can become rather large quickly, but they do compress very well (e.g. about 90%). If you'd like to make m5 output a compressed trace, just name the trace output file with a .gz ending. For example --trace-file=trace.out will produce an uncompressed file as normal, but --trace-file=trace.out.gz will produce a gzip compressed file. You can then manipulate these files with zcat and pipes to process the output. The editor vim also can uncompress gzip compressed files in memory which can be useful.
