21 * These macros are intended for use when there is a need to copy a low-level
22 * function body into special memory.
24 * For example, when reconfiguring the SDRAM controller, the code doing the
25 * reconfiguration may need to run from SRAM.
27 * NOTE: that the copied function body must be entirely self-contained and
28 * position-independent in order for this to work properly.
30 * NOTE: in order for embedded literals and data to get referenced correctly,
31 * the alignment of functions must be preserved when copying. To ensure this,
32 * the source and destination addresses for fncpy() must be aligned to a
33 * multiple of 8 bytes: you will be get a BUG() if this condition is not met.
34 * You will typically need a ".align 3" directive in the assembler where the
35 * function to be copied is defined, and ensure that your allocator for the
36 * destination buffer returns 8-byte-aligned pointers.
38 * Typical usage example:
41 * extern uint32_t size_of_f;
42 * int (*copied_f)(args);
45 * copied_f = fncpy(sram_buffer, &f, size_of_f);
47 * ... later, call the function: ...
51 * The size of the function to be copied can't be determined from C:
52 * this must be determined by other means, such as adding assmbler directives
53 * in the file where f is defined.

66 * Minimum alignment requirement for the source and destination addresses
67 * for function copying.

78 * Ensure alignment of source and destination addresses, \
79 * disregarding the function's Thumb bit: \
