Subject: [PATCH 7/9] common: malloc: ensure alignment is always at least 8 byte
Date: Tue,  4 Oct 2022 17:54:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221004155405.3458479-8-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221004155405.3458479-1-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.
