Subject: execmem: enforce allocation size aligment to PAGE_SIZE
Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2025 17:48:07 +0300
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.
