/*
* This "tool" can be used to brute force the XOR bitmask that a memory
* controller uses to interleave addresses onto its two channels. To use it,
* you need to have a bunch of addresses that are known to go to only one
* of the memory channels... easiest way to get these is to run stressapptest on
* a machine while holding a soldering iron close to the chips of one channel.
* Generate about a thousand failures and extract their physical addresses
* from the output. Write them to findmask.inc in a way that forms a valid
* definition for the addrs array. Make and run on a big machine.
*
* The program iterates over all possible bitmasks within the first NUM_BITS,
* parallelizing execution over NUM_THREADS. Every integer is masked
* onto all supplied addresses, counting the amount of times this results in
* an odd or even amount of bits. If all but NOISE addresses fall on one side,
* it will print that mask to stdout. Note that the script will always "find"
* the mask 0x0, and may also report masks such as 0x100000000 depending on
* your test machines memory size... you will need to use your own judgement to
* interpret the results.
*
* As the program might run for a long time, you can send SIGUSR1 to it to
* output the last mask that was processed and get a rough idea of the
* current progress.
