The RISC-V ISA manual used to mandate that misaligned accesses were
supported in user mode, but that requirement was removed in 2018 via
riscv-isa-manual commit 61cadb9 ("Provide new description of misaligned
load/store behavior compatible with privileged architecture."). Since
the Linux uABI was already frozen at that point it's just been demoted
to part of the uABI, but that was never written down.

=====================

Misaligned accesses are supported in userspace, but they may perform poorly.
