<h4 class="subsubsection">21.4.8.1 ADI Support</h4>

<p>The M7 processor supports an Application Data Integrity (ADI) feature that 
detects invalid data accesses.  When software allocates memory and enables 
ADI on the allocated memory, it chooses a 4-bit version number, sets the 
version in the upper 4 bits of the 64-bit pointer to that data, and stores 
the 4-bit version in every cacheline of that data.  Hardware saves the latter 
in spare bits in the cache and memory hierarchy.  On each load and store, 
the processor compares the upper 4 VA (virtual address) bits to the 
cacheline&rsquo;s version.  If there is a mismatch, the processor generates a 
version mismatch trap which can be either precise or disrupting.  The trap 
is an error condition which the kernel delivers to the process as a SIGSEGV 
signal.
</p>
<p>Note that only 64-bit applications can use ADI and need to be built with
ADI-enabled.
</p>
<p>Values of the ADI version tags, which are in granularity of a 
cacheline (64 bytes), can be viewed or modified. 
</p>

<dl compact="compact">
<dd><a name="index-adi-examine"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>adi (examine | x) [ / <var>n</var> ] <var>addr</var></code></dt>
<dd>
<p>The <code>adi examine</code> command displays the value of one ADI version tag per 
cacheline. 
</p>
<p><var>n</var> is a decimal integer specifying the number in bytes; the default 
is 1.  It specifies how much ADI version information, at the ratio of 1:ADI 
block size, to display. 
</p>
<p><var>addr</var> is the address in user address space where you want <small>GDB</small> 
to begin displaying the ADI version tags. 
</p>
<p>Below is an example of displaying ADI versions of variable &quot;shmaddr&quot;.
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(gdb) adi x/100 shmaddr
   0xfff800010002c000:     0 0
</pre></div>

<a name="index-adi-assign"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>adi (assign | a) [ / <var>n</var> ] <var>addr</var> = <var>tag</var></code></dt>
<dd>
<p>The <code>adi assign</code> command is used to assign new ADI version tag 
to an address. 
</p>
<p><var>n</var> is a decimal integer specifying the number in bytes; 
the default is 1.  It specifies how much ADI version information, at the 
ratio of 1:ADI block size, to modify. 
</p>
<p><var>addr</var> is the address in user address space where you want <small>GDB</small> 
to begin modifying the ADI version tags. 
</p>
<p><var>tag</var> is the new ADI version tag.
</p>
<p>For example, do the following to modify then verify ADI versions of 
variable &quot;shmaddr&quot;:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(gdb) adi a/100 shmaddr = 7
(gdb) adi x/100 shmaddr
   0xfff800010002c000:     7 7
</pre></div>
