- // ARMv6 may or may not support unaligned accesses depending on the
- // SCTLR.U bit, which is architecture-specific. We assume ARMv6
- // Darwin and NetBSD targets support unaligned accesses, and others don't.
+ // Assume ARMv6+ supports unaligned accesses, except Armv6-M, and Armv8-M
+ // without the Main Extension. This aligns with the default behavior of
+ // ARM's downstream versions of GCC and Clang

- // ARMv7 always has SCTLR.U set to 1, but it has a new SCTLR.A bit
- // which raises an alignment fault on unaligned accesses. Linux
- // defaults this bit to 0 and handles it as a system-wide (not
- // per-process) setting. It is therefore safe to assume that ARMv7+
- // Linux targets support unaligned accesses. The same goes for NaCl
- // and Windows.
- //
- // The above behavior is consistent with GCC.
+ // Users can disable behavior via -mno-unaliged-access.

@efriedma-quic I'm not too sure what the correct check would be here given your comment. Maybe this?
```cpp
if (Triple.isOSDarwin() || Triple.isOSNetBSD()) {
if (VersionNum < 6 ||
Triple.getSubArch() == llvm::Triple::SubArchType::ARMSubArch_v6m)
Features.push_back("+strict-align");
} else if (VersionNum < 7 ||
Triple.getSubArch() == llvm::Triple::SubArchType::ARMSubArch_v6m ||
Triple.getSubArch() ==
llvm::Triple::SubArchType::ARMSubArch_v8m_baseline)
Features.push_back("+strict-align");
}
