$ git grep __aligned__ | grep -v -P '__aligned__\s*\('
AFAIK: There is only one use of bare __aligned__ and
that's in compiler_attributes.h

Just use aligned
Just fyi:
these are the uses of __attribute__ in the kernel
with all the underscores and spaces removed so there's
some value in finding the multiple actual attributes .
$ git grep -ohP '__attribute__\s*\(\s*\(.*\)\s*\)' | \
sed -r -e 's/\s//g' -r -e 's/__(\w+)__/\1/g' | \
