When we are performing unaligned stack accesses in the 32-64B window we have to do a read-modify-write cycle. E.g. for reading 8 bytes from address 17: 0: tmp = stack[16] 1: gprLo = tmp >> 8 2: tmp = stack[20] 3: gprLo |= tmp << 24 4: tmp = stack[20] 5: gprHi = tmp >> 8 6: tmp = stack[24] 7: gprHi |= tmp << 24 The load on line 4 is unnecessary, because tmp already contains data from stack[20]. For write we can optimize both loads and writebacks away.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
