Subject: [PATCH v6 02/26] powerpc/pseries: Fix alignment of PLPKS structures and buffers

From: Andrew Donnellan <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2023 19:03:37 +1100

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).
