Adding 16 KB Page Size to Android

  Certain build processes determine the page size at compile time and assume it's the same at run time, and fail if it is not: https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/issues/467

  Some memory-mapped files formats have assumptions about page granularity: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1979804

  The file format issue applies to ELF as well. Some people patch their toolchains (or use suitable linker options) to produce slightly smaller binaries that can only be loaded if the page size is 4K, even though the ABI is pretty clear in that you should link for compatibility with up to 64K pages.

  Right (on x86-32 and -64, because you can’t have 64KB pages there), but you cannot (e.g.) MapViewOfFile on an address not divisible by 64KB, because Alpha[1]. As far as I understand, Windows is why the docs for the Blink emulator[2] (a companion project of Cosmopolitan libc) tell you any programs under it need to use sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE) instead of assuming 4KB.
