FWIW the alignment requirement is because ARC ABI allows 64-bit data to be 32-bit aligned provided hardware deals fine with 4 byte aligned for the non-atomic double-load/store LDD/STD instructions. The 64-bit alignement however is required for atomic double load/store LLOCKD/SCONDD instructions hence the definition of ARC atomic64_t -Vineet
