riscv: ftrace: align patchable functions to 4 Byte boundary
We are changing ftrace code patching in order to remove dependency from stop_machine() and enable kernel preemption. This requires us to align functions entry at a 4-B align address. However, -falign-functions on older versions of GCC alone was not strong enoungh to align all functions. In fact, cold functions are not aligned after turning on optimizations. We consider this is a bug in GCC and turn off guess-branch-probility as a workaround to align all functions. GCC bug id: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88345 The option -fmin-function-alignment is able to align all functions properly on newer versions of gcc. So, we add a cc-option to test if the toolchain supports it. Suggested-by:Evgenii Shatokhin <e.shatokhin@yadro.com> Signed-off-by:
