From 1b1a946dc2b535785663742f9e4f15fd64bece60 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alice Ryhl Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2025 12:31:50 +0000 Subject: rust: alloc: specify the minimum alignment of each allocator The kernel's allocators sometimes provide a higher alignment than the end-user requested, so add a new constant on the Allocator trait to let the allocator specify what its minimum guaranteed alignment is. This allows the ForeignOwnable trait to provide a more accurate value of FOREIGN_ALIGN when using a pointer type such as Box, which will be useful with certain collections such as XArray that store its own data in the low bits of pointers.
