[PATCH 11/11] ARM: Get rid of .LCcralign local label usage in alignment_trap macro

From: Anton Vorontsov
Date: Mon Jul 30 2012 - 08:02:08 EST


This makes the code more izolated.

The downside of this is that we now have an additional branch and the
code itself is 8 bytes longer. But on the bright side, this new layout
can be more cache friendly since cr_alignment address might be already
in the cache line (not that I measured anything, it's just fun to think
about it).
