Subject: [PATCH] linux/export.h: remove unneeded .balign directive
Date: Wed,  3 Jan 2024 22:54:54 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240103135454.376021-1-masahiroy@kernel.org> (raw)

The .export_symbol section is discarded by the linker script, hence
no alignment is needed. Simplify the code.
