    cmd/compile: add generic rules to eliminate some unnecessary stores · 4fc498d8
    Michael Munday authored
    Eliminates stores of values that have just been loaded from the same
    location. Handles the common case where there are up to 3 intermediate
    stores to non-overlapping struct fields.
    
    For example the loads and stores of x.a, x.b and x.d in the following
    function are now removed:
    
    type T struct {
    	a, b, c, d int
    }
    
    func f(x *T) {
    	y := *x
    	y.c += 8
    	*x = y
    }
    
    Before this CL (s390x):
    
    TEXT    "".f(SB)
    	MOVD    "".x(R15), R5
    	MOVD    (R5), R1
    	MOVD    8(R5), R2
    	MOVD    16(R5), R0
    	MOVD    24(R5), R4
    	ADD     $8, R0, R3
    	STMG    R1, R4, (R5)
    	RET
    
    After this CL (s390x):
    
    TEXT	"".f(SB)
    	MOVD	"".x(R15), R1
    	MOVD	16(R1), R0
    	ADD	$8, R0, R0
    	MOVD	R0, 16(R1)
    	RET
    
    In total these rules are triggered ~5091 times during all.bash,
    which is broken down as:
    
    Intermediate stores | Triggered

    0                   | 1434
    1                   | 2508
    2                   | 888
    3                   | 261
