From 3e68fbb59b3d4e6b47b65e9928b5929e02179759 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Woodhouse Date: Mon, 15 May 2006 00:49:43 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [JFFS2] Don't pack on-medium structures, because GCC emits crappy code If we use __attribute__((packed)), GCC will _also_ assume that the structures aren't sensibly aligned, and it'll emit code to cope with that instead of straight word load/save. This can be _very_ suboptimal on architectures like ARM. Ideally, we want an attribute which just tells GCC not to do any padding, without the alignment side-effects. In the absense of that, we'll just drop the 'packed' attribute and hope that everything stays as it was (which to be fair is fairly much what we expect). And add some paranoia checks in the initialisation code, which should be optimised away completely in the normal case.
