It's easy to find the address and symbol that causes the unalignd data access according to the stack dump information. The following small patch will fix it. This change is harmless for platforms (like x86/x64) which support unaligned data access but is critical for platforms those do not support unaligned data access (like our platform: arch/tile). I sent the patch but did not ping the status. I sync-up the workspace and re-generate the patch again. Feel free to give me any feedback. It's really annoying to maintain the change internally.
