CONFIG_ALIGNMENT_TRAP:

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_ALIGNMENT_TRAP has multiple definitions:

found in arch/arm/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_ALIGNMENT_TRAP:

Help text

ARM processors cannot fetch/store information which is not naturally aligned on the bus, i.e., a 4 byte fetch must start at an address divisible by 4. On 32-bit ARM processors, these non-aligned fetch/store instructions will be emulated in software if you say here, which has a severe performance impact. This is necessary for correct operation of some network protocols. With an IP-only configuration it is safe to say N, otherwise say Y.

Kernel support unaligned access handling by sw found in arch/nds32/Kconfig.cpu

The configuration item CONFIG_ALIGNMENT_TRAP:

Andes processors cannot load/store information which is not naturally aligned on the bus, i.e., a 4 byte load must start at an address divisible by 4. On 32-bit Andes processors, these non-aligned load/store instructions will be emulated in software if you say Y here, which has a severe performance impact. With an IP-only configuration it is safe to say N, otherwise say Y.

The configuration item CONFIG_ALIGNMENT_TRAP:

Unicore processors can not fetch/store information which is not naturally aligned on the bus, i.e., a 4 byte fetch must start at an address divisible by 4. On 32-bit Unicore processors, these non-aligned fetch/store instructions will be emulated in software if you say here, which has a severe performance impact. This is necessary for correct operation of some network protocols. With an IP-only configuration it is safe to say N, otherwise say Y.
