On x86 as described on your link, it's just a performance penalty if your members are not aligned. On ARM without fixup, you read actual garbage as described on my article. > Does changing the /proc/cpu/alignment setting from 0 (ignored) to 2 > (fixup) come with a noticeable performance penalty? Yeah it is expensive. Something else is up, probably with your kernel, that you have so many userland alignment faults at all. As you saw, I don't have any. -Andy _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
