Both clang and gcc (for -march=z13 and later) align functions to 16 bytes at -O2 to benefit branch prediction. Make asm symbols alignment consistent with that. This also benefits potential ftrace code patching, which is currently able to patch 8 aligned bytes at once. With defconfig this currently increases .text size by 4104 bytes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
