Move a block of memory within a memory range. Any alignment optimization on the source address may cause corruption. Verify using kselftest that it works. I have also verified with tracing that such optimization does not happen due to this check in can_align_down(): if (!for_stack && vma->vm_start != addr_to_align) return false; Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230903151328.2981432-7-joel@joelfernandes.org Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org> Reviewed-by: Lorenzo Stoakes <lstoakes@gmail.com> Cc: Kalesh Singh <kaleshsingh@google.com> Cc: "Kirill A.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
