I suspect it would depend on if they have problematic native code.
The executable format (if it’s native code) doesn’t actually specify what page size it wants right? So there would be no way for the OS to block 4 KB page apps.
I guess they could block stuff that targets an older API version, but that would block a lot of things that would otherwise work just fine.
- comex 1y agoThe executable format defines a number of segments, which must be on separate pages because they have different permissions, and can’t be slid relative to each other. So the page size can’t be larger than the segment alignment chosen at link time, though it can be smaller.
