> Currently the codecache segment order is [non-nmethod, non-profiled, profiled]. With this change we move the non-nmethod segment between two code segments. It changes nothing for any platform besides AARCH.
> 
> In AARCH the offset limit for a branch instruction is 128MB. The bigger jumps are encoded with three instructions. Most of far branches are jumps into the non-nmethod blobs. With the non-nmethod segment in between code segments the jump distance from method to the stub becomes shorter. The result is a 4% reduction in generated code size for the CodeCache range from 128MB to 240MB.
> 
> As a side effect, the performance of some tests is slightly improved:
> ``ArraysFill.testCharFill      10  thrpt   15  170235.720 -> 178477.212  ops/ms``
> 
> Testing: jdk/hotspot jtreg and microbenchmarks on AMD and AARCH
