Fixed in Linux kernel by declaring the extern int32 as char:

Richard suggested that adding a compiler optimization barrier (__asm__ ("" :
"+r" (__pptr))) might fix the problem.
I tested the attached patch and it works nicely.

Arnd,
there are various calls to the get_unaligned_X() functions in all kernel
bootloaders, specifically in the kernel decompression routines:

I think the aligned attribute is not relevant here. Even
u32 output_len;

Hi Arnd,
I think the problem with your testcase is, that the compiler doesn't know the
alignment of the parameter "p" in your f_unaligned() function.
So it will generate byte-accesses.
If you modify
