The required alignment is 4 bytes. Some routines are aligned to 32 bytes in order to have them begin at exactly an I-cache line boundary to increase I-cache utilization. This is done especially for "hot" routines like memcpy, memset, etc. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
