Not only is it wasting memory, but I wouldn't be convinced it'd not be outright hurting performance by increasing cache line aliasing, increasing TLB overhead and misses/invalidations! Avoiding page alignment can be a performance gain! https://pvk.ca/Blog/2012/07/30/binary-search-is-a-pathological-case-for-caches/ https://pvk.ca/Blog/2012/07/30/binary-search-is-a-pathologic... Like, sure, mapping your executable's code section in at a page boundary is probably fine, but I think trying to align individual functions to page boundaries would be a counterproductive mistake as a general strategy.
