Another thing I noticed in last glibc CVS (nptl)
Thread stacks are also allocated in the 1GB quadrant :
nptl/sysdeps/x86_64/pthreaddef.h
/* We prefer to have the stack allocated in the low 4GB since this
allows faster context switches. */
#define ARCH_MAP_FLAGS MAP_32BIT
Is this really true ?
Is memory allocated in the low 4GB is faster on x86_64 (64bit kernel,
64 bit user prog ?)
Thank you
