Khalid Aziz c6202ca764 sparc64: Add auxiliary vectors to report platform ADI properties
ADI feature on M7 and newer processors has three important properties
relevant to userspace apps using ADI capabilities - (1) Size of block of
memory an ADI version tag applies to, (2) Number of uppermost bits in
virtual address used to encode ADI tag, and (3) The value M7 processor
will force the ADI tags to if it detects uncorrectable error in an ADI
tagged cacheline. Kernel can retrieve these properties for a platform
through machine description provided by the firmware. This patch adds
code to retrieve these properties and report them to userspace through
auxiliary vectors.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
