GCC ARM: aligned access

[Peng Fan <van dot freenix at gmail dot com>]

Hi,

I am writing some code and found that system crashed. I found it was
unaligned access which causes `data abort` exception. I write a piece of code and objdump
it. I am not sure this is right or not.

command:
arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc -marm -mno-thumb-interwork -mabi=aapcs-linux -mword-relocations -march=armv7-a -mno-unaligned-access -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -fno-common -ffixed-r9 -msoft-float -pipe  -O2 -c 2.c -o 2.o

arch is armv7-a and used '-mno-unaligned access'

c code:
typedef unsigned char u8;                                                       
int func(u8 *data)                                                              
{                                                                               
        return *(unsigned int *)data;                                           
}

The objdumped asm code is:
                                                                               
Disassembly of section .text.func:                                              
                                                                                
00000000 <func>:                                                                
   0: e5900000  ldr r0, [r0]                                                    
   4: e12fff1e  bx  lr

from the asm code, we can see that 'ldr r0, [r0]' corresponding to '*(unsigned int*)data'. is this correct?
we can not guarantee that pointer data is 4bytes aligned. If pointer data is not 4bytes aligned, and aligned 
access check is enabled by setting a hardware bit in arm coprocessor, then `data abort` may occur.
