[PATCH v3 14/24] powerpc/pseries: Fix alignment of PLPKS structures and buffers

From: Andrew Donnellan <hidden>
Date: 2023-01-18 06:31:13
Also in: linux-integrity, lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

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 coundaries

- Password output buffers must not cross page boundaries

Round up the allocations of these structures/buffers to the next power of
2 to make sure this happens.
