Subject: [PATCH v2 5/7] common: malloc: ensure alignment is always at least 8 byte
Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2023 17:24:31 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230911152433.3640781-6-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230911152433.3640781-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>
We used to have following alignments:
32-bit CPU 64-bit CPU
dummy 8 bytes 8 bytes
dlmalloc 8 bytes 16 bytes
tlsf 4 bytes 8 bytes
With recent change to TLSF, we now always have at least 8 bytes as
alignment. To make this clearer, define a new CONFIG_MALLOC_ALIGNMENT
and either use it as the alignment (as done for dummy) or add static
asserts to ensure we have at least this alignment.
