40 * Work-around for broken NX emulation using CS limit, Red Hat patch "Exec-Shield"
41 * (IA32 only).
42 *
43 * Map and execute at a high VA to prevent CS lazy updates race with SMP MM
44 * invalidation.Further code generation by the JVM will no longer cause CS limit
45 * updates.
46 *
47 * Affects IA32: RHEL 5 & 6, Ubuntu 10.04 (LTS), 10.10, 11.04, 11.10, 12.04.
48 * @see JDK-8023956
