Northstar SoCs have pretty small CPU caches and their performance is
heavily affected by cache hits & misses. It means that all kind of
random code changes can affect performance as they often reorganize
(change alignment & possibly reorder) kernel symbols.
It was discussed in ARM / net mailinglists:
1. ARM router NAT performance affected by random/unrelated commits [1] [2]
2. Optimizing kernel compilation / alignments for network performance [3] [4]
It seems that -falign-functions can be used as a partial workaround. It
doesn't solve all cases (e.g. documented watchdog one [5]) but it surely
helps with many of them.
A complete long term solution may be PGO (profile-guided optimization)
but it isn't available at this point.
