On arm64 we don't align assembly funciton in the same way as C functions. This somewhat limits the utility of CONFIG_DEBUG_FORCE_FUNCTION_ALIGN_64B for testing. Follow the example of x86, and align assembly functions in the same way as C functions. I've tested this by selecting CONFIG_DEBUG_FORCE_FUNCTION_ALIGN_64B=y, building and booting a kernel, and looking for misaligned text symbols: Before: # grep ' [Tt] ' /proc/kallsyms | grep -iv '[048c]0 [Tt] ' | wc -l 322 After: # grep ' [Tt] ' /proc/kallsyms | grep -iv '[048c]0 [Tt] ' | wc -l 115 The remaining unaligned text symbols are a combination of non-function labels in assembly and early position-independent code which is built with '-Os'.
