RISC-V memcpy routine uses misaligned loads and stores #145769
Description
I tried this code:
// Using the riscv64gc-unknown-none-elf target.
// Should be reproduced by:
#[inline(never)]
fn do_copy(len: usize) {
// len is 16.
core::ptr::copy_nonoverlapping(0x237c0 as *const u8, 0x43adc as *mut u8, len);
}I expected to see this happen: Byte copy should succeed without missing bytes. A byte copy loop using write_volatile works fine.
Instead, this happened:
Debugging output over UART (with annotations)
stream read 16 [87, 79, 79, 70, 66, 79, 79, 84, 16, 0, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0] (.data)
ptrs: 0x237c0 (.data) 0x43adc (stack, 4-byte aligned)
head (stack): [87, 79, 79, 70, 0, 0, 0, 0, 16, 0, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0]
