When i am trying to run dhrystone on ARM (compiled using -mcpu=cortex-a78ae), the run doesnt get completed. it is running an infinite loop

[kallooran]

I am running the following binary () using the command
build/ARM/gem5.opt --debug-flags=Exec --debug-file=dhry_a78ae_trace configs/example/arm/starter_se.py ./tests/dhrystone
I get following messages printed on the commandline:

Even after couple of minutes, it wasnt getting completed. Then i stopped the simulation and rerun it with debug-flags=All. with this setting, i could see the debug log file size getting larger and larger. Previously i had run dhrystone (number of runs = 10) on GEM5 and it only generate log file of size 1.5GB when "All" debug was enabled. however now it was going above 5 GB. So i stepped the simulation. After checking the log file, i could see the following:

81407917250: system.cpu_cluster.cpus: T0 : syscall Retrying read(0, 4903312, 8192)...
81407917250: system.cpu_cluster.cpus.[tid:0]: Reading integer reg integer[0] (0) as 0.

81407917250: system.cpu_cluster.cpus.[tid:0]: Reading integer reg integer[2] (2) as 0x2000.
81407917250: system.cpu_cluster.cpus: T0 : syscall read still needs retry.

The above lines are repeated many many times and keeps on going. Here is the link to the full log file ()

Please let me know how i could fix this issue and complete my simulation.

Additional information - Dhrystone was compiled using the following commands:

aarch64-none-linux-gnu-gcc -O0 -mcpu=cortex-a78ae --static -c -DHZ=60 -O2 -fno-inline dhry_1.c
 aarch64-none-linux-gnu-gcc -O0 -mcpu=cortex-a78ae --static -c -DHZ=60 -O2 -fno-inline dhry_2.c
aarch64-none-linux-gnu-gcc -O0 -mcpu=cortex-a78ae --static -o dhrystone dhry_1.o dhry_2.o
