Software must use memory barrier instructions:
•
before MPU setup if there might be outstanding memory transfers, such as buffered
writes, that might be affected by the change in MPU settings
•
after MPU setup if it includes memory transfers that must use the new MPU settings.
However, memory barrier instructions are not required if the MPU setup process starts by
entering an exception handler, or is followed by an exception return, because the
exception entry and exception return mechanism cause memory barrier behavior.
Software does not need any memory barrier instructions during MPU setup, because it
accesses the MPU through the PPB, which is a Strongly-Ordered memory region.
For example, if you want all of the memory access behavior to take effect immediately
after the programming sequence, use a
DSB
instruction and an
ISB
instruction. A
DSB
is
required after changing MPU settings, such as at the end of context switch. An
ISB
is
required if the code that programs the MPU region or regions is entered using a branch or
call. If the programming sequence is entered using a return from exception, or by taking
an exception, then you do not require an
ISB
.
4.5.8.2
Updating an MPU region using multi-word writes
You can program directly using multi-word writes, depending on how the information is
divided. Consider the following reprogramming:
; R1 = region number
; R2 = address
; R3 = size, attributes in one
