[question] crossgen2 generates misaligned relocations #96066

Description

@t-mustafin

Crossgen2 constructs some code by ObjectDataBuilder class. In some cases the code includes pieces of data, for example relocation pointers. To proper align the data ObjectDataBuilder has method PadAlignment:
https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/486142a4b87ed6e3134bd1a8726156fb3f55157a/src/coreclr/tools/Common/Compiler/DependencyAnalysis/ObjectDataBuilder.cs#L357C44-L357C44
At the same time the only platform which use PadAlignment method is Win32.

Why crossgen2 uses PadAlignment only for Win32 and generates misaligned data for other platforms?
On platforms there misaligned memory operations is not prohibited they may cause performance degradation in compare with aligned operations. Is there some memory/performance investigations for this misaligned/aligned data generation?

                [question] crossgen2 generates misaligned relocations #96066

                Description

                @t-mustafin

                Crossgen2 constructs some code by ObjectDataBuilder class. In some cases the code includes pieces of data, for example relocation pointers. To proper align the data ObjectDataBuilder has method PadAlignment:
                https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/486142a4b87ed6e3134bd1a8726156fb3f55157a/src/coreclr/tools/Common/Compiler/DependencyAnalysis/ObjectDataBuilder.cs#L357C44-L357C44
                At the same time the only platform which use PadAlignment method is Win32.

                Why crossgen2 uses PadAlignment only for Win32 and generates misaligned data for other platforms?
                On platforms there misaligned memory operations is not prohibited they may cause performance degradation in compare with aligned operations. Is there some memory/performance investigations for this misaligned/aligned data generation?
