17 /*
18  * The ALLOC_CACHE_ALIGN_BUFFER macro is used to allocate a buffer on the
19  * stack that meets the minimum architecture alignment requirements for DMA.
20  * Such a buffer is useful for DMA operations where flushing and invalidating
21  * the cache before and after a read and/or write operation is required for
22  * correct operations.
23  *
24  * When called the macro creates an array on the stack that is sized such
25  * that:
26  *
27  * 1) The beginning of the array can be advanced enough to be aligned.
28  *
29  * 2) The size of the aligned portion of the array is a multiple of the minimum
30  *    architecture alignment required for DMA.
31  *
32  * 3) The aligned portion contains enough space for the original number of
33  *    elements requested.
34  *
35  * The macro then creates a pointer to the aligned portion of this array and
36  * assigns to the pointer the address of the first element in the aligned
37  * portion of the array.
38  *
39  * Calling the macro as:
40  *
41  *     ALLOC_CACHE_ALIGN_BUFFER(uint32_t, buffer, 1024);
42  *
43  * Will result in something similar to saying:
44  *
45  *     uint32_t    buffer[1024];
46  *
47  * The following differences exist:
48  *
49  * 1) The resulting buffer is guaranteed to be aligned to the value of
50  *    ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN.
51  *
52  * 2) The buffer variable created by the macro is a pointer to the specified
53  *    type, and NOT an array of the specified type.  This can be very important
54  *    if you want the address of the buffer, which you probably do, to pass it
55  *    to the DMA hardware.  The value of &buffer is different in the two cases.
56  *    In the macro case it will be the address of the pointer, not the address
57  *    of the space reserved for the buffer.  However, in the second case it
58  *    would be the address of the buffer.  So if you are replacing hard coded
59  *    stack buffers with this macro you need to make sure you remove the & from
60  *    the locations where you are taking the address of the buffer.
61  *
62  * Note that the size parameter is the number of array elements to allocate,
63  * not the number of bytes.
64  *
65  * This macro can not be used outside of function scope, or for the creation
66  * of a function scoped static buffer.  It can not be used to create a cache
67  * line aligned global buffer.
