Subject: [PATCH] Add -fmin-function-alignmnet
To: gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org

This is a manual backport of gcc master ommit r14-8395-g0f5a9a00e3ab1f
without alphabetical reordering of parameters in common.opt.  Commit
message of that commit (without Changelog):

commit 0f5a9a00e3ab1fe96142f304cfbcf3f63b15f326
  Author: Jan Hubicka <jh@suse.cz>
  Date:   Wed Jan 24 18:13:17 2024 +0100

Add -fmin-function-alignmnet

-falign-functions is ignored in cold code, since it is an
      optimization intended to improve instruction prefetch.  In some
      case it is necessary to force alignment for all functions, so
      this patch adds -fmin-function-alignment for this purpose.

gcc/ChangeLog:

2024-01-25  Jan Hubicka <jh@suse.cz>
	    Martin Jambor  <mjambor@suse.cz>

* common.opt (fmin-function-alignment): New parameter.
        * doc/invoke.texi: (-fmin-function-alignment): Document.
        (-falign-functions,-falign-loops,-falign-labels): Mention that
	* varasm.c (assemble_start_function): Handle min-function-alignment.
	* lto-streamer.h (LTO_minor_version): Bump.
