Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: binutils
Binutils does not support 64-byte alignment for armel platforms using
the .p2align directive; this is required in order for GCC to use this
alignment (wiether via -falign-functions= etc. or __attribute__ ((
__aligned__ (64) )). This may be affecting performance on Cortex-A8
processors and later, since it is not possible to align functions or
data to the native cache line size (i.e., 64 bytes).
CodeSourcery have implemented the necessary support in binutils for
64-byte alignment, but I'm currently waiting for confirmation of a patch
having been published for this.
I'll add a link to the relevant patch when it becomes available.
** Affects: binutils (Ubuntu)
