Subject: [ruby-core:102630] [Ruby master Bug#17652] GC compaction crash on	mprotect

Issue #17652 has been updated by xtkoba (Tee KOBAYASHI).

File ruby-cygwin-rb_aligned_malloc.patch added

It seems that the `addr` argument for Cygwin's `munmap(2)` must be aligned to 64KB boundaries. A patch is attached to conform to this.

# GitHub PR: ~~https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/4221~~ https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/4227

# Issue

GC compaction will crash on some pages due to a failing `mprotect` call. According to the `mprotect` documentation:

> POSIX says that the behavior of mprotect() is unspecified if it is applied to a region of memory that was not obtained via mmap(2).

This causes `mprotect` to sometimes fail.

# Reproduction

```ruby
GC.auto_compact = true

times = 20_000_000
arr = Array.new(times)
times.times do |i|
  arr[i] = "#{i}"
end

arr = Array.new(1_000_000, 42)
GC.start

puts "ok"
```

# Expected output

Program runs and prints "ok".

# Actual output

Crashes on Ubuntu 18.04. See `crash.log` for the crash log (note that the log file has been truncated because it's too big).
