[ Upstream commitfcf63d6b8a] A number of structures and buffers passed to PKS hcalls have alignment requirements, which could on occasion cause problems: - Authorisation structures must be 16-byte aligned and must not cross a page boundary - Label structures must not cross page boundaries - Password output buffers must not cross page boundaries To ensure correct alignment, we adjust the allocation size of each of these structures/buffers to be the closest power of 2 that is at least the size of the structure/buffer (since kmalloc() guarantees that an allocation of a power of 2 size will be aligned to at least that size).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
