Issue is resolved.
Truns out, although the .txt file is in the same directory and in my C code I 
am doing "./abc.txt", gem5 was trying to search the absolute path (/home/path 
to text file). I tried some debug flag, and --debug-flag=SyscallVerbose helped 
me to identify the issue.

Subject: [gem5-users] ARM Page table fault

WARNING This email originated external to the NMSU email system. Do not click 
on links or open attachments unless you are sure the content is safe.
I am running with ARM, SE mode.
The  executable to test is compiled using gcc arm cross compiler 
(aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc-13).

Everything  works fine until my test code tries to read from a text file (.txt).

src/sim/faults.cc:102: panic: panic condition !handled && 
!tc->getSystemPtr()->trapToGdb(GDBSignal::SEGV, tc->contextId()) occurred: Page 
table fault when accessing virtual address 0xc0

The path to the text file is correct. The size of the file is large, around 87 
MB.
I tried to increase my --mem-size from 8 GB to 100 GB, no effect.
I am using FILE *,  fopen(), fclose() and fscanf() from stdio.h to read from 
the file.
Note: I am using 2 separate memory ranges in my simulation, 
system.mem_ranges[0] and system.mem_ranges[1]. But they are carefully chosen to 
avoid overlapping (later starts where former ends). They worked fine for 
different cases, until I attempted to read from file.

Any suggestion or solution would be appreciated.
Thank you.
