malloc: Fix for infinite loop in memalign/posix_memalign.
A very large alignment argument passed to mealign/posix_memalign causes _int_memalign to enter an infinite loop. Limit the maximum alignment value to the maximum representable power of two to prevent this from happening. Changelog: 2013-10-30 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org> [BZ #16038] * malloc/hooks.c (memalign_check): Limit alignment to the maximum representable power of two. * malloc/malloc.c (__libc_memalign): Likewise. * malloc/tst-memalign.c (do_test): Add test for very large alignment values. * malloc/tst-posix_memalign.c (do_test): Likewise.
