u-boot.git/doc/README.arm-unaligned-accesses, branch master Unnamed repository; edit this file 'description' to name the repository. arm: Switch to -mno-unaligned-access when supported by the compiler 2014-02-26T20:19:32+00:00 Tom Rini trini@ti.com 2014-02-25T15:27:01+00:00 1551df35f296f0a8df32f4f2054254f46e8be252 When we tell the compiler to optimize for ARMv7 (and ARMv6 for that matter) it assumes a default of SCTRL.A being cleared and unaligned accesses being allowed and fast at the hardware level. We set this bit and must pass along -mno-unaligned-access so that the compiler will still breakdown accesses and not trigger a data abort. To better help understand the requirements of the project with respect to unaligned memory access, the Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt file has been added as doc/README.unaligned-memory-access.txt and is taken from the v3.14-rc1 tag of the kernel.

When we tell the compiler to optimize for ARMv7 (and ARMv6 for that
matter) it assumes a default of SCTRL.A being cleared and unaligned
accesses being allowed and fast at the hardware level.  We set this bit
and must pass along -mno-unaligned-access so that the compiler will
still breakdown accesses and not trigger a data abort.

ARM: prevent misaligned array inits 2012-10-15T18:53:07+00:00 Albert ARIBAUD albert.u.boot@aribaud.net 2012-10-09T09:28:15+00:00 b823fd9ba56d56e3cbb5b05e7a4815fb0914204a Under option -munaligned-access, gcc can perform local char or 16-bit array initializations using misaligned native accesses which will throw a data abort exception. Fix files where these array initializations were unneeded, and for files known to contain such initializations, enforce gcc option -mno-unaligned-access.
