Alexey Skidanov 52fbf1134d lib/genalloc.c: fix allocation of aligned buffer from non-aligned chunk
gen_pool_alloc_algo() uses different allocation functions implementing
different allocation algorithms.  With gen_pool_first_fit_align()
allocation function, the returned address should be aligned on the
requested boundary.

If chunk start address isn't aligned on the requested boundary, the
returned address isn't aligned too.  The only way to get properly
aligned address is to initialize the pool with chunks aligned on the
requested boundary.  If want to have an ability to allocate buffers
aligned on different boundaries (for example, 4K, 1MB, ...), the chunk
start address should be aligned on the max possible alignment.

This happens because gen_pool_first_fit_align() looks for properly
aligned memory block without taking into account the chunk start address
alignment.

To fix this, we provide chunk start address to
gen_pool_first_fit_align() and change its implementation such that it
starts looking for properly aligned block with appropriate offset
(exactly as is done in CMA).

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.
