mm, arm64: Reduce ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN brought to my attention that
our current IIO usage of L1CACHE_ALIGN is insufficient as their are Arm
platforms out their with non coherent DMA and larger cache lines at
at higher levels of their cache hierarchy.
Rename the define to make it's purpose more explicit. It will be used
much more widely going forwards (to replace incorrect ____cacheline_aligned
markings.
Note this patch will greatly reduce the padding on some architectures
that have smaller requirements for DMA safe buffers.
The history of changing values of ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN via
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN on arm64 is rather complex. I'm not tagging this
as fixing a particular patch from that route as it's not clear what to tag.
Most recently a change to bring them back inline was reverted because
of some Qualcomm Kryo cores with an L2 cache with 128-byte lines
sitting above the point of coherency.
c1132702c7 Revert "arm64: cache: Lower ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN to 64 (L1_CACHE_BYTES)"
That reverts:
65688d2a05 arm64: cache: Lower ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN to 64 (L1_CACHE_BYTES) which
refers to the change originally being motivated by Thunder x1 performance
rather than correctness.
