Add Prefer_MAP_32BIT_EXEC to map executable pages with MAP_32BIThjl/32bit/2.22
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.
