With -mcpu=generic the loop alignment is currently 4. · 6b13482b
With -mcpu=generic the loop alignment is currently 4. All but one of the supported cores use 8 or higher. Since using 8 provides performance gains on several cores, it is best to use that by default. As discussed in [1], the jump alignment has no effect on performance, yet has a relatively high codesize cost [2], so setting it to 4 is best. This gives a 0.2% overall codesize improvement as well as performance gains in several benchmarks. gcc/ * config/aarch64/aarch64.c (generic_tunings): Set jump alignment to 4. Set loop alignment to 8.
