2.5.1 ACTLR Register (Offset = 0x8) [reset = 0x0]
Auxiliary Control (ACTLR)
NOTE:
This register can only be accessed from privileged mode.
The ACTLR register provides disable bits for IT folding, write buffer use for accesses to the default
memory map, and interruption of multi-cycle instructions. By default, this register is set to provide optimum
performance from the Cortex-M4 processor and does not normally require modification.
ACTLR is shown in

Disable IT Folding
In some situations, the processor can start executing the first
instruction in an IT block while it is still executing the IT instruction.
This behavior is called IT folding, and improves performance,
However, IT folding can cause jitter in looping. If a task must avoid
jitter, set the DISFOLD bit before executing the task, to disable IT
folding.
