The attributes should be set to avoid speculative access to memory-mapped
peripherals.
The patch has been tested with:
noinline unsigned long nox(void)
{
return get_pc();
}
static void xn_test(void)
{
void *adr = (void *)SOME_SRAM_ADDRESS;
unsigned long ret;
unsigned long (*fn)(void) = adr;
memcpy(adr, nox, 0x1000);
sync_caches_for_execution();
ret = fn();
printf("pc: 0x%08lx\n", ret);
}
Without this patch nox() gets executed in SRAM, with it runs into a
abort as expected.
