Full_system_code_locations - ennobler/gem5-test-doc GitHub Wiki

Full system code locations are as follows:

• /sim/system - Architecture and OS independent code
• /arch//system.(cc|hh) - Architecture dependent, OS independent code
• /arch///system.(cc|hh) - - Architecture dependent, OS dependent code
• /kern//* - Architecture independent, OS dependent code

Very little of the code that was in /kern/ was actually architecture independent. Even things that at first glance appeared to be, actually patched architecture dependent parts of the kernel. Since there wasn't much shared code, I didn't feel any any large amount of effort should be put into sharing litterally 3 lines so unless we find a place where there is a lot of code, os dependent architecture independent code should go in it's proper directory in a namespace for that OS and simply be called by the source architecture and os dependend files.
