NAME
elanpar -- AMD Elan SC520 Programmable Address Regions
SYNOPSIS
elansc* at mainbus? bus ? elanpar* at elansc?
DESCRIPTION
The elanpar driver supports the write-protect feature of the AMD Elan SC520 microcontroller's integrated Programmable Address Regions. Cur- rently, elanpar protects the kernel text from being overwritten by the CPU or errant DMA.
DIAGNOSTICS
elanpar0: cpu violated write-protect window %u elanpar0: gp violated write-protect window %u elanpar0: pci violated write-protect window %u A Programmable Address Region stopped either the CPU, the general-purpose bus (gp), or a PCI bus master from writing to the indicated window of write-protected memory. elanpar0: %u bytes of kernel text are unprotected elanpar has not write-protected %u bytes of the kernel text.
SEE ALSO

HISTORY
The elanpar device first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.
AUTHORS
The elanpar driver was written by David Young <dyoung@NetBSD.org>.
BUGS
elanpar leaves as many as 65535 bytes unprotected at the beginning and end of kernel text. Also, elanpar is not compatible with setting break- points using ddb(4). Disable elanpar using drvctl -d elanpar0 before setting a breakpoint with ddb(4). NetBSD 10.99 February 17, 2017 NetBSD 10.99
