Hello!
This is an Alpha AXPpxi33, ev4
gcc 2.96 (egcs-20000410)
kernel 2.3.99-pre5
I get an unaligned access in sys_swapon():
[from /proc/cpuinfo]:
kernel unaligned acc : 10 (pc=fffffc0000346384,va=fffffc0007c8fff6)
[from System.map]:

fffffc0000345e80 T sys_swapon
fffffc00003468c0 T si_swapinfo
fffffc00003469d0 T swap_duplicate

701: j = 0;

704: for (i = 1 ; i < 8*PAGE_SIZE ; i++) {

So memset tries to fill the last 10 bytes of a page with '0'. But 2 of the
3 stl insns use an unaligned address!
...this page... | ...next page...
[0] [1] .... [8176] [8180] [8184] [8188]| [8192]

16f0:: WW WW unaligned write
16f8:: RRRR aligned read
1704:: WW WW unaligned write
1710:: ..WW aligned write
>From asm-alpha/string.h it appears thet memset is in fact __builtin_memset
in this case. Is this a gcc problem or did I miss something?
Bye,
Thorsten
