[RKh] I'v just tried installing the RPM packages; at the beginning it didn't work
well until I noticed that the binaries generates lots of unaligned accesses.
ARM kernel I'm using doesn't fix that for the user-space by default; so after
'echo 3 > /proc/cpu/alignment' and running soffice and importing a Microsoft
word doc I got the following amount of exceptions -
-bash-3.2# cat /proc/cpu/alignment
User: 125929
System: 0
Skipped: 0
Half: 27982
Word: 21780
DWord: 74940
Multi: 0
User faults: 3 (fixup+warn)
Any idea where those unaligned accesses are coming from? Any idea if this can be fixed
too?
Interesting. I guess we'd want to fix this: unaligned access is so
slow. I'd break out a debugger and have a look. Or at least I would if
debuginfo weren't broke. :-(
