Adding 16 kb page size to Android
Android 15 has been refactored to support using 16 KB page sizes, and file systems like EROFS and F2FS have been made compatible.
This is so you can use the developer option to test and fix (if needed) your applications to prepare for Android devices with 16 KB page sizes in the near future. All OS binaries are built with separate loadable segments (-Wl,-z,separate-loadable-segments) to ensure all memory regions mapped into a process are readable, which some applications depend on. Sparse read-only file systems ensure that zero pages created for additional padding for 16 KB alignment are not written to disk.
