ROWHAMMER

Row Hammer DMA attacker

This module allows to perform a Row Hammer attack by configuring it with two addresses that map to different rows of a single bank. When enabled, it will perform alternating DMA reads from the given locations, which will result in the DRAM controller having to repeatedly open/close rows at each read access.
