From d2b176ed878d4d5fcc0bd35656dfd373f3702af9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jes Sorensen Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2006 09:42:23 -0800 Subject: [IA64] sysctl option to silence unaligned trap warnings Allow sysadmin to disable all warnings about userland apps making unaligned accesses by using: # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ignore-unaligned-usertrap Rather than having to use prctl on a process by process basis. Default behaivour leaves the warnings enabled.
