    mm: fix cache coloring on x86_64 architecture · 7d025059
    Michel Lespinasse authored
    Fix the x86-64 cache alignment code to take pgoff into account.  Use the
    x86 and MIPS cache alignment code as the basis for a generic cache
    alignment function.
    
    The old x86 code will always align the mmap to aliasing boundaries,
    even if the program mmaps the file with a non-zero pgoff.
    
    If program A mmaps the file with pgoff 0, and program B mmaps the file
    with pgoff 1.  The old code would align the mmaps, resulting in misaligned
    pages:
    
      A:  0123
      B:  123
    
    After this patch, they are aligned so the pages line up:
    
      A: 0123
      B:  123
