Under https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8264846 we moved to -O3 level of gcc optimizations from -O1 level for libawt build. This improved our J2DBench performance numbers in some options considerably.
Recent changes done under https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8299337 causes difference in generated code by gcc and this is resulting in performance regression for bimg_misc-* J2DBench options in our performance servers. Under https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8299337 we have just removed unused variables and it is a cleanup task. We can force gcc to generate position independent code by using -fpic option.Also i have removed -fgcse-after-reload option for gcc, because this is by default covered under -O3 level of optimization introduced under https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8264846. With this change bimg_misc-* J2DBench option performance regression is resolved and there are no regression in other options of J2DBench or SwingMark and it is verified in our performance servers. ------------- Commit messages: - 8301869: Regression ~14% in J2dBench-bimg_misc-* in 21-b5 only on linux-aarch64 Changes: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/12761/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jdk&pr=12761&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8301869 Stats: 4 lines in 1 file changed: 2 ins; 0 del; 2 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/12761.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jdk pull/12761/head:pull/12761 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/12761
