Hi Guru,

You seem to be talking about two different issues:

 1.  Copy from physical address in the guest to the host.
 2.  Copy “behind the back” of the guest from physical address A to physical 
address B.

What is it you are trying to accomplish? Also, if you are going down the path 
of (2), take care not to confuse the guest by writing over something that’s 
actually used.

Subject: Re: [gem5-users] Copy memory out of simulation

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for your response. I'm trying to do this in the hdlcd code.
In src/dev/arm/hdlcd.cc, instead of the call to dmaAction, I want to copy the 
memory from the source to the destination without simulating any of the 
reads/writes.

Could you point me to an example of PortProxy implementation? Like I mentioned 
earlier, I tried using the fs_translating_port_proxy functions which didn't 
work out.

Regards
Guru

Hi Guru,

If you are talking about guest physical address, then it should be very easy, 
as it is a linear mapping to the host. The KVM CPU uses this fact quite 
extensively. Depending on where you want to do this, the easiest may be to 
create a PortProxy and simply read it out.

Subject: [gem5-users] Copy memory out of simulation

Hi,

I'm trying to copy out a chunk of memory from within the simulation.
Is there a way to translate simulation memory addresses to host addresses?

I've looked at CopyOut, however, I don't have access to the current 
ThreadContext.
When I tried with sys->getThreadContext(0), I got:
panic: Table walkers support functional accesses. We should never get here


Regards
Guru
