From d49a0626216b95cd4bf696f6acf55f39a16ab0bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2022 13:10:47 +0200 Subject: arch: Introduce CONFIG_FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT 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.
