Thanks for confirmation. Btw: I was wondering why the fix will only apply to system mode rather than user-only mode. Unaligned data access is not permitted in user level programs, either.

Alignment fault should be raised if the alignment check is failed. However, it seems that QEMU doesn't implement this, which is against the documentation of ARM. For example, the instruction LDRD/STRD/LDREX/STREX must check the address is word alignment no matter what value the SCTLR.A is. I attached a testcase, which contains an instruction at VA 0x10240: ldrd r0,[pc.#1] in the main function. QEMU can successfully load the data in the unaligned address. The test is done in QEMU 5.1.0. I can provide more testcases for the other instructions if you need. Many thanks. To patch this, we need a check while we translate the instruction to tcg. If the address is unaligned, a signal number (i.e., SIGBUS) should be raised. Regards Muhui To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1905356/+subscriptions
