--- Comment #36 from Tijl Coosemans <tijl@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Dimitry Andric from comment #35)
The calls are expanded because of casts.  So for instance a uint64_t* param=
eter
is cast to _Atomic(uint64_t)*.  This is problematic because _Atomic(uint64_=
t)
can be an 8 byte aligned type which causes compiler_rt to use instructions =
as
if a given address is 8 byte aligned while it can be completely misaligned.=

Here's some example code where clang generates a library call because of
misalignment.

struct foo {
        char c;
        _Atomic(long long) ll;
} __attribute__((__packed__));

long long
test(struct foo *f) {
        return (f->ll);
}
