__function_aligned is conditionally defined in
include/linux/compiler_types.h, and then it is
conditionally used in kernel/exit.c

This is unreadable.




You may want to move CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT
to include/linux/compiler_types.h, as this is more
aligned with what you did for __cold.



if !defined(CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT) && \
               CONFIG_FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT > 0
#define __function_aligned       __aligned(CONFIG_FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT)
#else
#define __function_aligned
#endif





However, an even more elegant approach is to unify
the two #ifdef blocks because __cold and __function_aligned
are related to each other.



#if defined(CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT) || \
                 (CONFIG_FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT == 0)
#define __cold                 __attribute__((__cold__))
#define __function_aligned
#else
#define __cold
#define __function_aligned     __aligned(CONFIG_FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT)
#endif
