From 7d025059650f1c41a427173789ac14b74212b361 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michel Lespinasse Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2012 16:01:56 -0800 Subject: 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 Proposed by Rik van Riel.
