Little-endian POWER7 kernels disable CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS because that is not supported on the hardware, but the kernel still uses direct load/store for explicti get_unaligned()/put_unaligned(). I assume this is a mistake that leads to power7 having to trap and fix up all these unaligned accesses at a noticeable performance cost. The fix is completely trivial, just remove the file and use the generic version that gets it right. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
