    cmd/compile: use intrinsic for LeadingZeros8 on amd64 · c5f0104d
    Josh Bleecher Snyder authored
    The previous change sped up the pure computation form of LeadingZeros8.
    This places it somewhat close to the table lookup form.
    Depending on something that varies from toolchain to toolchain
    (alignment, perhaps?), the slowdown from ditching the table lookup
    is either 20% or 5%.
    
    This benchmark is the best case scenario for the table lookup:
    It is in the L1 cache already.
    
    I think we're close enough that we can switch to the computational version,
    and trust that the memory effects and binary size savings will be worth it.
    
    Code:
    
    func f8(x uint8)   { z = bits.LeadingZeros8(x) }
    
    Before:
    
    "".f8 STEXT nosplit size=34 args=0x8 locals=0x0
    	0x0000 00000 (x.go:7)	TEXT	"".f8(SB), NOSPLIT, $0-8
    	0x0000 00000 (x.go:7)	FUNCDATA	$0, gclocals·2a5305abe05176240e61b8620e19a815(SB)

    	0x001a 00026 (x.go:7)	MOVQ	AX, "".z(SB)
    	0x0021 00033 (x.go:7)	RET
    
    After:
    
    "".f8 STEXT nosplit size=30 args=0x8 locals=0x0
    	0x0000 00000 (x.go:7)	TEXT	"".f8(SB), NOSPLIT, $0-8
