[PATCH 10/10] arm64: Enable dynamic kmalloc() minimum alignment

Tue Apr 5 06:57:58 PDT 2022


Define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN as 64 since this would be the minimum
requirement across most arm64 SoCs. Define arch_kmalloc_minalign()
returning cache_line_size() to set the minimum run-time kmalloc()
alignment for those SoCs with bigger cache lines.
