This patch aims to optimize a case where a And-Node followed by a Cmp-Node would not be converted into a single "test" instruction. The Architecture Description file currently only handles the cases where the right operand of the And-Node is a constant, but not if both are a register.
Before this patch, a "and" followed by a "test" would be emitted, so the removed "and" means 2 bytes less have to be emitted.
I've attached a JMH Benchmark to demonstrate the performance improvements. Here are the numbers of my Windows 11 machine:
Before:
Benchmark Mode Cnt Score Error Units
AndCmpTestInstruction.benchmarkOpaqueAndCmpEqualsInt avgt 8 26,736 ± 0,131 ns/op
AndCmpTestInstruction.benchmarkOpaqueAndCmpEqualsLong avgt 8 24,305 ± 0,610 ns/op
AndCmpTestInstruction.benchmarkStaticAndCmpEqualsInt avgt 8 33,052 ± 0,056 ns/op
AndCmpTestInstruction.benchmarkStaticLargeAndCmpEqualsLong avgt 8 18,355 ± 0,030 ns/op
AndCmpTestInstruction.benchmarkStaticSmallAndCmpEqualsLong avgt 8 25,587 ± 0,107 ns/op
After:
Benchmark Mode Cnt Score Error Units Improvement
AndCmpTestInstruction.benchmarkOpaqueAndCmpEqualsInt avgt 8 22,665 ± 0,170 ns/op (~18%)
AndCmpTestInstruction.benchmarkOpaqueAndCmpEqualsLong avgt 8 18,880 ± 0,123 ns/op (~29%)
AndCmpTestInstruction.benchmarkStaticAndCmpEqualsInt avgt 8 33,198 ± 0,126 ns/op (unchanged)
AndCmpTestInstruction.benchmarkStaticLargeAndCmpEqualsLong avgt 8 18,427 ± 0,079 ns/op (unchanged)
AndCmpTestInstruction.benchmarkStaticSmallAndCmpEqualsLong avgt 8 25,641 ± 0,168 ns/op (unchanged)
As you can see, the cases with a small static mask have not improved as they have already been covered by another match rule. The test with the large static mask (benchmarkStaticLargeAndCmpEqualsLong) has a sorted instruction sequence as the value is moved to a register and it is not being used directly in the instruction, but there is no measurable performance uplift here.
I've tested my changes using the Tier1 jtreg Tests on Windows.
