I want that the qemu
window after opening and showing the output automatically closes after running pintOS
Like when i run the command pintos -- run alarm-multiple
in tcsh
shell, qemu displays that process begins ,then some alarm-notifications
and then the process ends, but after that the qemu window won't close
I want to exit the window after successful completion of my system call.
UPDATED:
The new solution
Here is another better solution that will work for both pintos run ...
and make grade
add this line to devices/shutdown.c :: shutdown_power_off(void) before the loop.
outw( 0x604, 0x0 | 0x2000 );
The old Solution
For the newer versions of qemu you need to run it with the option
-device isa-debug-exit
Which exits on any write to an IO port, by default it's 0x501
i.e in your pintos project under the src/utils directory you will need to add one line to the pintos file in the run_qemu subroutine
sub run_qemu {
print "warning: qemu doesn't support --terminal\n"
if $vga eq 'terminal';
print "warning: qemu doesn't support jitter\n"
if defined $jitter;
my (@cmd) = ('qemu-system-i386');
push (@cmd, '-device', 'isa-debug-exit'); # <====== add this line
..
..
push (@cmd, '-monitor', 'null') if $vga eq 'none' && $debug eq 'none';
run_command (@cmd);
}
and in shutdown.c file under the devices directory
add this line in the shutdown_power_off function after the for loop
for (p = s; *p != '\0'; p++)
outb (0x8900, *p);
outb (0x501, 0x31); // <====== add this line
Qemu's exit code is double the value plus one, so there is no way to exit cleanly. Use 0x31 which should result in a qemu exit code of 0x63
finally run pintos with -q option
pintos -q run alarm-multiple
