Message-ID: <20240313104255.1083365-2-cascardo@xxxxxxxxxx>
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit d49a0626216b95cd4bf696f6acf55f39a16ab0bb upstream.
Generic function-alignment infrastructure.
Architectures can select FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT_xxB symbols; the
FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT symbol is then set to the largest such selected
size, 0 otherwise.
>From this the -falign-functions compiler argument and __ALIGN macro
are set.
This incorporates the DEBUG_FORCE_FUNCTION_ALIGN_64B knob and future
alignment requirements for x86_64 (later in this series) into a single
place.
NOTE: also removes the 0x90 filler byte from the generic __ALIGN
primitive, that value makes no sense outside of x86.
NOTE: .balign 0 reverts to a no-op.
