x86: don't have gcc over-align data
For (aiui) backwards compatibility reasons, gcc defaults to a mode that was the exclusive one up to gcc4.8, establishing 16- or even 32-byte alignment for aggregates larger than a certain size. We don't rely on such, and hence we can do with the psABI-compliant 16-byte alignment. Savings in the build I'm looking at: - .data.ro_after_init 344 bytes - .rodata + .data.rel.ro 1904 bytes - .init.*data.cf_clobber 232 bytes - .init (overall) 688 bytes - .data.read_mostly 864 bytes - .data 600 bytes - .bss 1472 bytes Overall xen-syms' _end happens to move down there by 2 pages. Clang doesn't support the option, presumably because they never over- aligned data. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com> Reviewed-by: Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@citrix.com>
