Add Prefer_MAP_32BIT_EXEC for Silvermonthjl/32bit/generic
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. Set the Prefer_MAP_32BIT_EXEC bit for Silvermont so that mmap will try to map executable pages with MAP_32BIT first. Also enable Silvermont optimizations for Knights Landing. 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_ENABLE_PREFER_MAP_32BIT_EXEC. On Fedora 23, this patch speeds up GCC 5 testsuite by 3% on Silvermont. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/wordsize-64/mmap.c: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/64/mmap.c: Likewise. * sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.c (get_prefer_map_32bit_exec): New function. (init_cpu_features): Call get_prefer_map_32bit_exec for Silvermont. Enable Silvermont optimizations for Knights Landing. * sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.h (bit_Prefer_MAP_32BIT_EXEC): New. (index_Prefer_MAP_32BIT_EXEC): Likewise.
