21  * These macros are intended for use when there is a need to copy a low-level
22  * function body into special memory.
23  *
24  * For example, when reconfiguring the SDRAM controller, the code doing the
25  * reconfiguration may need to run from SRAM.
26  *
27  * NOTE: that the copied function body must be entirely self-contained and
28  * position-independent in order for this to work properly.
29  *
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.
37  *
38  * Typical usage example:
39  *
40  * extern int f(args);
41  * extern uint32_t size_of_f;
42  * int (*copied_f)(args);
43  * void *sram_buffer;
44  *
45  * copied_f = fncpy(sram_buffer, &f, size_of_f);
46  *
47  * ... later, call the function: ...
48  *
49  * copied_f(args);
50  *
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.
