On PPC64 (and a few other architectures), accessing global requires multiple instructions and use of temp register. The compiler emits a single MOV prog, and the assembler expands it to multiple instructions. If globals are accessed multiple times, each time it generates a reload of the temp register. As this is done by the assembler, the compiler cannot optimize it. This CL makes the compiler not fold address of global into load and store. If a global is accessed multiple times, or multiple fields of a struct are accessed, the compiler can CSE the address. Currently, this doesn't help the case where different globals are accessed, even though they may be close to each other in the address space (which we don't know at compile time). It helps a little bit in go1 benchmark: name old time/op new time/op delta BinaryTree17-2 4.84s ± 1% 4.84s ± 1% ~ (p=0.796 n=10+10) Fannkuch11-2 4.10s ± 0% 4.08s ± 0% -0.58% (p=0.000 n=9+8) FmtFprintfEmpty-2 97.9ns ± 1% 96.8ns ± 1% -1.08% (p=0.000 n=10+10) FmtFprintfString-2 147ns ± 0% 147ns ± 1% ~ (p=0.129 n=9+10) FmtFprintfInt-2 152ns ± 0% 152ns ± 0% ~ (p=0.294 n=10+8) FmtFprintfIntInt-2 218ns ± 1% 217ns ± 0% -0.64% (p=0.000 n=10+8) FmtFprintfPrefixedInt-2 263ns ± 1% 256ns ± 0% -2.77% (p=0.000 n=10+8) FmtFprintfFloat-2 375ns ± 1% 368ns ± 0% -1.95% (p=0.000 n=10+7) FmtManyArgs-2 849ns ± 0% 850ns ± 0% ~ (p=0.621 n=8+9) GobDecode-2 12.3ms ± 1% 12.2ms ± 1% -0.94% (p=0.003 n=10+10) GobEncode-2 10.3ms ± 1% 10.5ms ± 1% +2.03% (p=0.000 n=10+10) Gzip-2 414ms ± 1% 414ms ± 0% ~ (p=0.842 n=9+10) Gunzip-2 66.3ms ± 0% 66.4ms ± 0% ~ (p=0.077 n=9+9) HTTPClientServer-2 66.3µs ± 5% 66.4µs ± 1% ~ (p=0.661 n=10+9) JSONEncode-2 23.9ms ± 1% 23.9ms ± 1% ~ (p=0.905 n=10+9) JSONDecode-2 119ms ± 1% 116ms ± 0% -2.65% (p=0.000 n=10+10) Mandelbrot200-2 5.11ms ± 0% 4.92ms ± 0% -3.71% (p=0.000 n=10+10) GoParse-2 5.81ms ± 1% 5.84ms ± 1% ~ (p=0.052 n=10+10) RegexpMatchEasy0_32-2 315ns ± 0% 317ns ± 0% +0.67% (p=0.000 n=10+10) RegexpMatchEasy0_1K-2 658ns ± 0% 638ns ± 0% -3.01% (p=0.000 n=9+9) RegexpMatchEasy1_32-2 315ns ± 1% 317ns ± 0% +0.56% (p=0.000 n=9+9) RegexpMatchEasy1_1K-2 935ns ± 0% 926ns ± 0% -0.96% (p=0.000 n=9+9) RegexpMatchMedium_32-2 394ns ± 0% 396ns ± 1% +0.46% (p=0.001 n=10+10) RegexpMatchMedium_1K-2 65.1µs ± 0% 64.5µs ± 0% -0.90% (p=0.000 n=9+9) RegexpMatchHard_32-2 3.16µs ± 0% 3.17µs ± 0% +0.35% (p=0.000 n=10+9) RegexpMatchHard_1K-2 89.4µs ± 0% 89.3µs ± 0% ~ (p=0.136 n=9+9) Revcomp-2 703ms ± 2% 694ms ± 2% -1.41% (p=0.009 n=10+10) Template-2 107ms ± 1% 107ms ± 1% ~ (p=0.053 n=9+10) TimeParse-2 526ns ± 0% 524ns ± 0% -0.34% (p=0.002 n=9+9) TimeFormat-2 534ns ± 0% 504ns ± 1% -5.51% (p=0.000 n=10+10) [Geo mean] 93.8µs 93.1µs -0.70% It also helps in the case mentioned in issue #17110, main.main in package math's test. Now it generates 4 loads of R31 instead of 10, for the same piece of code. This causes a slight increase of binary size: cmd/go increases 0.66%. If this is a good idea, we should do it on other architectures where accessing global is expensive. Updates #17110.
