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.
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
Tom Hromatka (2):
SPARC M7 and newer processors utilize ADI to version and protect
memory. This driver is capable of reading/writing ADI/MCD versions
from privileged user space processes. Addresses in the adi file are
mapped linearly to physical memory at a ratio of 1:adi_blksz. Thus,
a read (or write) of offset K in the file operates upon the ADI
version at physical address K * adi_blksz. The version information
is encoded as one version per byte. Intended consumers are
makedumpfile and crash.
Add a selftest for the sparc64 privileged ADI driver. These tests
verify the read(), pread(), write(), pwrite(), and seek()
functionality of the driver. The tests also report simple
performance statistics:
