The problem was introduced in glibc 2.23, in commit
b9eb92ab05
("Add Prefer_MAP_32BIT_EXEC to map executable pages with MAP_32BIT").
(cherry picked from commit d5dfad4326fc683c813df1e37bbf5cf920591c8e)

index_* and bit_* macros are used to access cpuid and feature arrays o
struct cpu_features. It is very easy to use bits and indices of cpuid
array on feature array, especially in assembly codes. For example,
sysdeps/i386/i686/multiarch/bcopy.S has
HAS_CPU_FEATURE (Fast_Rep_String)
which should be
HAS_ARCH_FEATURE (Fast_Rep_String)
We change index_* and bit_* to index_cpu_*/index_arch_* and
bit_cpu_*/bit_arch_* so that we can catch such error at build time.
[BZ #19762]
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/64/dl-librecon.h
(EXTRA_LD_ENVVARS): Add _arch_ to index_*/bit_*.
* sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.c (init_cpu_features): Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.h (bit_*): Renamed to ...
(bit_arch_*): This for feature array.
(bit_*): Renamed to ...
(bit_cpu_*): This for cpu array.
(index_*): Renamed to ...
(index_arch_*): This for feature array.
(index_*): Renamed to ...
(index_cpu_*): This for cpu array.
[__ASSEMBLER__] (HAS_FEATURE): Add and use field.
[__ASSEMBLER__] (HAS_CPU_FEATURE)): Pass cpu to HAS_FEATURE.
[__ASSEMBLER__] (HAS_ARCH_FEATURE)): Pass arch to HAS_FEATURE.
[!__ASSEMBLER__] (HAS_CPU_FEATURE): Replace index_##name and
bit_##name with index_cpu_##name and bit_cpu_##name.
[!__ASSEMBLER__] (HAS_ARCH_FEATURE): Replace index_##name and
bit_##name with index_arch_##name and bit_arch_##name.
We should turn on bit_Prefer_MAP_32BIT_EXEC in EXTRA_LD_ENVVARS without
overriding other bits.
[BZ #19758]
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/64/dl-librecon.h
(EXTRA_LD_ENVVARS): Or bit_Prefer_MAP_32BIT_EXEC.
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.
