AArch64 generates suboptimal code for profile counters.
This
add xscratch2, x0, #0x218
ldr xscratch1, [xscratch2]
add xscratch1, xscratch1, #0x1
str xscratch1, [xscratch2]
can be this:
ldr xscratch1, [x0, #0x218]
add xscratch1, xscratch1, #0x1
str xscratch1, [x0, #0x218]
Although this looks like a very minor improvement, the same pattern
is repeated many times in C1-generated code.
