Angus Gratton 7fd8a6d4bc stm32/dma: Add D-cache protection for DMA RX operations, including SPI. This new DMA API corrects possible cache coherency issues on chips with D-Cache, when working with buffers at arbitrary memory locations (i.e. supplied by Python code). The API is used by SPI to fix an issue with corrupt data when reading from SPI using DMA in certain cases. A regression test is included (it depends on external hardware connection). Explanation: 1) It's necessary to invalidate D-Cache after a DMA RX operation completes in case the CPU reads (or speculatively reads) from the DMA RX region during the operation. This seems to have been the root cause of issue #13471 (only when src==dest for this case). 2) More generally, it is also necessary to temporarily mark the first and last cache lines of a DMA RX operation as "uncached", in case the DMA buffer shares this cache line with unrelated data. The CPU could otherwise write the other data at any time during the DMA operation (for example from an interrupt handler), creating a dirty cache line that's inconsistent with the DMA result. Fixes issue #13471. This work was funded through GitHub Sponsors. Signed-off-by: Angus Gratton <angus@redyak.com.au>		9 months ago
