Add Prefer_MAP_32BIT_EXEC to map executable pages with MAP_32BIT hjl/32bit/master
According to Silvermont software optimization guide, for 64-bit applications, branch prediction performance can be negatively impacted when the target of a branch is more than 4GB away from the branch. Add the Prefer_MAP_32BIT_EXEC bit so that mmap will try to map executable pages with MAP_32BIT first. NB: MAP_32BIT will map to lower 2GB, not lower 4GB, address. Prefer_MAP_32BIT_EXEC reduces bits available for address space layout randomization (ASLR), which is always disabled for SUID programs and can only be enabled by setting environment variable, LD_PREFER_MAP_32BIT_EXEC. On Fedora 23, this patch speeds up GCC 5 testsuite by 3% on Silvermont. [BZ #19367] * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/wordsize-64/mmap.c: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/64/dl-librecon.h: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/64/mmap.c: Likewise. * sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.h (bit_Prefer_MAP_32BIT_EXEC): New. (index_Prefer_MAP_32BIT_EXEC): Likewise.
