Fei Gao has updated the pull request with a new target base due to a merge or a rebase. The incremental webrev excludes the unrelated changes brought in by the merge/rebase. The pull request contains three additional commits since the last revision:
- Fix comments from aph
- Merge branch 'master' into fg8320379
- 8320379: C2: Sort spilling/unspilling sequence for better ld/st merging into ldp/stp on AArch64
Macro-assembler on aarch64 can merge adjacent loads or stores
into ldp/stp[1]. For example, it can merge:
```
str w20, [sp, #16]
str w10, [sp, #20]
```
into
```
stp w20, w10, [sp, #16]
```
But C2 may generate a sequence like:
```
str x21, [sp, #8]
str w20, [sp, #16]
str x19, [sp, #24] <---
str w10, [sp, #20] <--- Before sorting
str x11, [sp, #40]
str w13, [sp, #48]
str x16, [sp, #56]
```
We can't do any merging for non-adjacent loads or stores.
The patch is to sort the spilling or unspilling sequence in
the order of offset during instruction scheduling and bundling
phase. After that, we can get a new sequence:
```
str x21, [sp, #8]
str w20, [sp, #16]
str w10, [sp, #20] <---
str x19, [sp, #24] <--- After sorting
str x11, [sp, #40]
str w13, [sp, #48]
str x16, [sp, #56]
```
Then macro-assembler can do ld/st merging:
```
str x21, [sp, #8]
stp w20, w10, [sp, #16] <--- Merged
str x19, [sp, #24]
str x11, [sp, #40]
str w13, [sp, #48]
str x16, [sp, #56]
```
To justify the patch, we run `HelloWorld.java`
```
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String [] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}
```
with `java -Xcomp -XX:-TieredCompilation HelloWorld`.
Before the patch, macro-assembler can do ld/st merging for
3688 times. After the patch, the number of ld/st merging
increases to 3871 times, by ~5 %.
Tested tier1~3 on x86 and AArch64.
