configs: Add --redirects for syscall emulation
This is the first step towards being able to run dynamically linked
applications when the guest ISA != than host ISA.
(Like running a arm application on x86)
By using the --redirects command line option it is possible to specify
via CLI a set of path redirections to be used in SE mode.
This is needed when running a dynamically linked binary in
SE mode in a guest ISA different than the host. The linker will look
for SOs (e.g. libc.so) in /lib/, but will only find the host libraries.
With this option we can redirect to the guest toolchain/file system.
Usage:
gem5.opt [example script]
--redirects /dir1=/path/to/host/dir1 \
--redirects /dir2=/path/to/host/dir2
