2018-06-05char: sparc64: Add privileged ADI driverTom Hromatka1-0/+239
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.
