Subject: [PATCH 01/13] ARM: add fncpy.h from linux v4.6
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2021 12:29:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210121112958.25937-1-str@pengutronix.de> (raw)
From: Steffen Trumtrar <s.trumtrar@pengutronix.de>
Description from the linux commit 5756e9dd0de6d5c307773f8f734c0684b3098fdd:
ARM: 6640/1: Thumb-2: Symbol manipulation macros for function body copying
In low-level board support code, there is sometimes a need to
copy a function body to another location at run-time.
A straightforward call to memcpy doesn't work in Thumb-2,
because bit 0 of external Thumb function symbols is set to 1,
indicating that the function is Thumb. Without corrective
measures, this will cause an off-by-one copy, and the copy
may be called using the wrong instruction set.
This patch adds an fncpy() macro to help with such copies.
Particular care is needed, because C doesn't guarantee any
defined behaviour when casting a function pointer to any other
type. This has been observed to lead to strange optimisation
side-effects when doing the arithmetic which is required in
order to copy/move function bodies correctly in Thumb-2.
Thanks to Russell King and Nicolas Pitre for their input
on this patch.

+ * 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.
