After re-reading the thread here again I've posted a patch to globally switch to -mno-unaligned-access for our armv7 tunes instead. Thanks for your effort however!

GPT partition table needs to write a protective MBR to sector 0. The MBR structure has four partition entries (each occupying 16 bytes) at unaligned offsets +1BEh, +1CEh, +1DEh, +1EEh (see [1]). The structure of each partition entry is defined at include/part_efi.h struct partition { u8 boot_ind; /* 0x80 - active */ u8 head; /* starting head */ u8 sector; /* starting sector */ u8 cyl; /* starting cylinder */ u8 sys_ind; /* What partition type */ u8 end_head; /* end head */ u8 end_sector; /* end sector */ u8 end_cyl; /* end cylinder */ __le32 start_sect; /* starting sector counting from 0 */ __le32 nr_sects; /* nr of sectors in partition */ } __packed; showing eight 1-byte fields and two 4-byte fields. Since the offsets for each partition entry are unaligned, the last two fields (which are 32bit) are unaligned as well. But it's not an error, it's just the specification of the MBR requires these fields to be at those exact offsets. So the usage of unaligned macros for accessing those fields is justified.

Right. I would have sworn I used the GPT commands since we've dropped - -mno-unaligned-access but I'll just go re-test locally now then, thanks. - -- Tom -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJTBMfWAAoJENk4IS6UOR1Wm/IP/1sOKxdJvLljPxOQ5myKhT0k PWFMVuN9ZomSkr9+yYt87cVtz28OV42dqVIig7i96TYbzA19AxWY6jWVlPxlmbAZ 0qIwILgogtytJPDad/4NMWXy8GyHP6f9iYIui/DRImsZaErSek+egEshf46M5oyH 0Fd6H/HcpLlJ1QydN1jQzKSppS3HadlwVKEQqC2vN2WjKv3li/m84xoSdiNty2Lj WgqEBOTfbS5dYQub72WiiaCvs2QVBAP2jRk1Lmtu/gj/L5Av0uc+J8JFV6+Un+Tt VNUKigG8PdLonex6gCOwpULX6Lft+9x0YWJXIp0ow3JFStpxbHPgMqqKkVyC7Jgp n14dHO4mG5ZdT2m0y/Tyu1sg7tllTPtW2k+GBsRa8vnOzHq11I6/wQ712S6BK4aB jjuQsxOoxbGSzMEpMrotf4knc0tuL72Lh46Lz1ksRZNdu7NGOAO+DjGuXnzKn8H4 oEB6aFEewaMV8o2XBNaMddMg8MyPtVC4qZiN2uuMMKjxkTukKUCV9xCl9YkJLAV2 oXdVtEoczjWY6made42olvTeev5R1NDD1ex63q0sZIylJQrQSjMju+1PpQQxAwAh /Kv5xn+13JtX7eaHY2oogHRLmLB5Cp2EUwg/ZVzArNTnlVdzOsr72v7BLi/fz6T2 NA5qIFUntQunN2OweEE+ =32uL -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
