@cindex branch target alignment
The Xtensa assembler will automatically align certain instructions, both
fetch width when aligning @code{LOOP} instructions (except if the first
instruction in the loop is a 64-bit instruction).
-Similarly, the @code{ENTRY} instruction must be aligned on a 0 mod 4
-byte boundary. The assembler satisfies this requirement by inserting
-zero bytes when required. In addition, labels immediately preceding the
-@code{ENTRY} instruction will be moved to the newly aligned instruction
-location.
+Previous versions of the assembler automatically aligned @code{ENTRY}
+instructions to 4-byte boundaries, but that alignment is now the
+programmer's responsibility.
