I agree. It should be the third expression described in https://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/gas-2.9.1/html_chapter/as_7.html#SEC113.

I have the same concern.

BTW, @xen0n Could you please add some dedicate tests for function alignment settings. For example:

  ; RUN: llc --mtriple=loongarch64 %s -o - | FileCheck %s
  ; RUN: llc --mtriple=loongarch64 -mcpu=la464 %s -o - | FileCheck %s
  
  define void @foo() nounwind {
  ;CHECK: .p2align 4
  ;CHECK: foo:
  entry:
    ret void
  }
