    cmd/compile: improve rules for PPC64.rules · 8dbd9afb
    Lynn Boger authored
    This adds some improvements to the rules for PPC64 to eliminate
    unnecessary zero or sign extends, and fix some rule for truncates
    which were not always using the correct sign instruction.
    
    This reduces of size of many functions by 1 or 2 instructions and
    can improve performance in cases where the execution time depends
    on small loops where at least 1 instruction was removed and where that
    loop contributes a significant amount of the total execution time.
    
    Included is a testcase for codegen to verify the sign/zero extend
    instructions are omitted.
    
    An example of the improvement (strings):
    IndexAnyASCII/256:1-16     392ns ± 0%   369ns ± 0%  -5.79%  (p=0.000 n=1+10)
    IndexAnyASCII/256:2-16     397ns ± 0%   376ns ± 0%  -5.23%  (p=0.000 n=1+9)
    IndexAnyASCII/256:4-16     405ns ± 0%   384ns ± 0%  -5.19%  (p=1.714 n=1+6)
    IndexAnyASCII/256:8-16     427ns ± 0%   403ns ± 0%  -5.57%  (p=0.000 n=1+10)
    IndexAnyASCII/256:16-16    441ns ± 0%   418ns ± 1%  -5.33%  (p=0.000 n=1+10)
    IndexAnyASCII/4096:1-16   5.62µs ± 0%  5.27µs ± 1%  -6.31%  (p=0.000 n=1+10)
    IndexAnyASCII/4096:2-16   5.67µs ± 0%  5.29µs ± 0%  -6.67%  (p=0.222 n=1+8)
    IndexAnyASCII/4096:4-16   5.66µs ± 0%  5.28µs ± 1%  -6.66%  (p=0.000 n=1+10)
    IndexAnyASCII/4096:8-16   5.66µs ± 0%  5.31µs ± 1%  -6.10%  (p=0.000 n=1+10)
    IndexAnyASCII/4096:16-16  5.70µs ± 0%  5.33µs ± 1%  -6.43%  (p=0.182 n=1+10)
