Motivation
Even when using only privileged-mode code in an application, the MPU can be useful to detect stack overflow and other memory access problems. For this to work, the MPU needs to restrict privileged-mode code.
Proposed changes
I propose to add a
configurefunction in the M0 and M4 modules that can configure access permissions for both privileged and unprivileged modes in all the combinations that the hardware supports.This is not a breaking change. The existing
Regionstruct andconfigure_unprivilegedfunctions can still be used as before.The updated code is working correctly on my Cortex-M4 microcontroller.
