/*
 * arch/arm/include/asm/fncpy.h - helper macros for function body copying
 *
 * Copyright (C) 2011 Linaro Limited
 */

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