    kbuild: Use -fmin-function-alignment when available · 5270316c
    Petr Pavlu authored
    GCC recently added option -fmin-function-alignment, which should appear
    in GCC 14. Unlike -falign-functions, this option causes all functions to
    be aligned at the specified value, including the cold ones.
    
    In particular, when an arm64 kernel is built with
    DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS=y, the 8-byte function alignment is
    required for correct functionality. This was done by -falign-functions=8
    and having workarounds in the kernel to force the compiler to follow
    this alignment. The new -fmin-function-alignment option directly
    guarantees it.
    
    Detect availability of -fmin-function-alignment and use it instead of
    -falign-functions when present. Introduce CC_HAS_SANE_FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT
    and enable __cold to work as expected when it is set.
