Feng Tang cf536e1858 Makefile: extend 32B aligned debug option to 64B aligned
Commit 09c60546f0 ("./Makefile: add debug option to enable
function aligned on 32 bytes") was introduced to help debugging
strange kernel performance changes caused by code alignment
change.

Recently we found 2 similar cases [1][2] caused by code-alignment
changes, which can only be identified by forcing 64 bytes aligned
for all functions.

Originally, 32 bytes was used mainly for not wasting too much
text space, but this option is only for debug anyway where text
space is not a big concern. So extend the alignment to 64 bytes
to cover more similar cases.

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.
