mm: fix cache coloring on x86_64 architecture
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
