+/**
+ * Mark the start of a critical section
+ *
+ * This function will be called by core_util_critical_section_enter() each time
+ * the application requests to enter a critical section. The purpose of the
+ * critical section is to ensure mutual-exclusion synchronisation of the
+ * processor by preventing any change in processor control, the default
+ * behaviour requires storing the state of interrupts in the system before
+ * disabling them.
+ *
+ * The critical section code supports nesting. When a thread has entered a
+ * critical section it can make additional calls to
+ * core_util_critical_section_enter() without deadlocking itself. The critical
+ * section driver API tracks the number of nested calls to the critical section.
+ * The critical section will only be exited when
+ * core_util_critical_section_exit() has been called once for each time it
+ * entered the critical section.
+ *
+ * On the first call to enter a critical section this function MUST store the
+ * state of any interrupts or other application settings it will modify to
+ * facilitate the critical section.
+ *
+ * Each successive call to enter the critical section MUST ignore storing or
+ * modifying any application state.
+ *
+ * The default implementation of this function which will save the current state
+ * of interrupts before disabling them. This implementation can be found in
+ * mbed_critical_section_api.c. This behaviour is can be overridden on a per
+ * platform basis by providing a different implementation within the correct
+ * targets directory.
