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