[ 14/50] ARC: Handle zero-overhead-loop in unaligned access handler

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



3.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mischa Jonker <mjonker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit c11eb222fd7d4db91196121dbf854178505d2751 upstream.

If a load or store is the last instruction in a zero-overhead-loop, and
it's misaligned, the loop would execute only once.

This fixes that problem.
