Directives such as .long and .word do not magically cause the
assembler location counter to become aligned in gas. As a
result, using these directives in code sections can result in
misaligned data words when building a Thumb-2 kernel
(CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL).
This is a Bad Thing, since the ABI permits the compiler to
assume that fundamental types of word size or above are word-
aligned when accessing them from C. If the data is not really
word-aligned, this can cause impaired performance and stray
alignment faults in some circumstances.
In general, the following rules should be applied when using
data word declaration directives inside code sections:
* .quad and .double:
.align 3
* .long, .word, .single, .float:
.align (or .align 2)
* .short:
No explicit alignment required, since Thumb-2
instructions are always 2 or 4 bytes in size.
