ADI is a feature supported on SPARC M7 and newer processors to allow hardware to catch rogue accesses to memory. ADI is supported for data fetches only and not instruction fetches. An app can enable ADI on its data pages, set version tags on them and use versioned addresses to access the data pages. Upper bits of the address contain the version tag. On M7 processors, upper four bits (bits 63-60) contain the version tag. If a rogue app attempts to access ADI enabled data pages, its access is blocked and processor generates an exception. Please see Documentation/sparc/adi.txt for further details.
This patchset implements a char driver to read/write ADI versions from privileged user space processes. Intended consumers are makedumpfile and crash.
v6: * Addressed a few action items from greg k-h * Added Reviewed-by Greg Kroah-Hartman and Shuah Khan v5: * Fixed MODULE_LICENSE() for adi.c v4: * Fixed messed up subject lines. v3: * Really fixed the copyright headers to use SPDX GPL v2. Really. v2: * Simplified copyright headers * Completely reworked sparc64 selftests Makefiles. Used the android selftests Makefiles as an example * Added run.sh and drivers_test.sh to the sparc64 selftest directory. Used bpf/test_kmod.sh and the android selftests as examples * Minor cleanups in the selftest adi-test.c * Added calls to ksft_test_*() in the adi-test.c
