# Basic test script for checkpointing.
#
# Given an M5 command and an interval (in ticks), this script will:
# 1. Run the command, dumping periodic checkpoints at the given interval.
# 2. Rerun the command for each pair of adjacent checkpoints:
#    a. Restore from checkpoint N
#    b. Run until the timestamp of checkpoint N+1
#    c. Dump a checkpoint and end the simulation
#    d. Diff the new checkpoint with the original checkpoint N+1
#
# Note that '--' must be used to separate the script options from the
# M5 command line.
#
# Caveats:
#
# - This script relies on the checkpoint options implemented in
#   configs/common/Simulation.py, so it works with commands based on
#   the se.py and fs.py scripts in configs/example, but does not work
#   directly with the existing regression tests.
# - Interleaving simulator and program output can cause discrepancies
#   in the file position checkpoint information since different runs
#   have different amount of simulator output.
# - Probably lots more issues we don't even know about yet.
#
# Examples:
#
# util/checkpoint-tester.py -i 400000 -- build/ALPHA_SE/m5.opt \
#      configs/example/se.py -c tests/test-progs/hello/bin/alpha/tru64/hello \
#      --output=progout --errout=progerr
#
# util/checkpoint-tester.py -i 200000000000 -- build/ALPHA_FS/m5.opt \
#      configs/example/fs.py --script tests/halt.sh
