Subject: [PATCH 6/9] tlsf: use 8-byte alignment for normal malloc allocations
Date: Tue, 4 Oct 2022 17:54:04 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221004155405.3458479-7-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221004155405.3458479-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>
The current alignment of 4 bytes is too low. Access to 64-bit data via
ldrd/strd requires at least an eight byte alignment:
| Prior to ARMv6, if the memory address is not 64-bit aligned, the
| data read from memory is UNPREDICTABLE. Alignment checking (taking
| a data abort), and support for a big-endian (BE-32) data format are
| implementation options.
We already have at least an 8 byte alignment for dlmalloc, so have TLSF
follow suit.
