Linux kernel source tree
ce7c88600b
Gen4 hardware provides new MRPC commands to read and write directly from any address in the PCI BAR (which Microsemi refers to as GAS). Since accessing BARs can be dangerous and break the driver, we don't want unprivileged users to have this ability. Therefore, require CAP_SYS_ADMIN for the local and remote GAS access MRPC commands. Privileged processes will already have access to the BAR through the sysfs resource file so this doesn't give userspace any capabilities it didn't already have.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
