|
|
+ How should we handle alignment errors in userspace by default? This is a bitfield where:
|
|
+ 0 - silently ignore alignment errors (will lead to unexpected results)
|
|
+ 1 - report alignment errors through printk (will lead to unexpected results, but you'll know about them)
|
|
+ 2 - fix the alignment and make things work properly (performance degradation for un-aligned code)
|
|
+ 4 - raise SIGBUS on alignment traps
|
|
+ A good number to choose is probably either 3 (work slowly but log message) or 5 (log message and SIGBUS).
|
|
+ You can change the behavior at runtime through /proc/cpu/alignment if you have PROC_FS enabled.
