H.J. Lu b9eb92ab05 Add Prefer_MAP_32BIT_EXEC to map executable pages with MAP_32BIT
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.
