[PATCH v2 0/2] riscv: improve unaligned memory accesses

From: Chen Huang
Date: Thu Sep 16 2021 - 09:00:20 EST


The patchset improves RISCV unaligned memory accesses, selects
HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS if CPU_HAS_NO_UNALIGNED not
enabled and supports DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS to improve the efficiency
of unaligned memory accesses.

If CPU don't support unaligned memory accesses for now, please
select CONFIG_CPU_HAS_NO_UNALIGNED. For I don't know which CPU
don't support unaligned memory accesses, I don't choose the
CONFIG for them.

Changes since v1:
- As Darius Rad and Jisheng Zhang mentioned, some CPUs don't support
unaligned memory accesses, add an option for CPUs to choose it or not.

Chen Huang (2):
riscv: support HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
riscv: Support DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS
