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).
