Set jump alignment to 4 for Cortex cores as it reduces codesize by 0.4% on average with no obvious performance difference. See original discussion of the overheads of various alignments: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2016-06/msg02075.html
Bootstrap OK, OK for stage 1? ChangeLog: 2017-04-12 Wilco Dijkstra <wdijk...@arm.com> * config/aarch64/aarch64.c (cortexa35_tunings): Set jump alignment to 4. (cortexa53_tunings): Likewise. (cortexa57_tunings): Likewise. (cortexa72_tunings): Likewise.
