>> Vectorization support of Integer.bitCount() already exists but currently the same support is lacking for Long.bitCount(). Similar to the C2 PopCountVI node, we created a C2 PopCountVL node and used vpopcntq x86 instruction to enable vectorized Long.bitCount(). This patch shows 2.57x improvement in performance on a JMH micro benchmark due to x86 vectorization.
