The current ELF loading mechancism provides page-aligned mappings. This can lead to the program being loaded in a way unsuitable for file-backed, transparent huge pages when handling PIE executables.
For binaries built with increased alignment, this limits the number of bits usable for ASLR, but provides some randomization over using fixed load addresses/non-PIE binaries.
