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.
