execmem: enforce allocation size aligment to PAGE_SIZE
Before introduction of ROX cache execmem allocation size was always
implicitly aligned to PAGE_SIZE inside vmalloc.
However, when allocation happens from the ROX cache, this is not
enforced.
Make sure that the allocation size is always consistently aligned to
PAGE_SIZE.
Mike said:
: Right now it'll make the maple trees in execmem_cache more compact.
: And it's a precaution for the case when execmem callers would want to
: change permissions on unaligned range because that would WARN_ON()
: loudly.
Peter said
: It should not have a runtime effect -- currently all this code is used
: with PAGE_SIZE multiples and everything just works. But whilst I was
: perusing this code, I noticed that nothing actually enforced this. If
: someone were to break this assumption things will go sideways.
