Hi,
Given the large improvements from better register allocation of GOT accesses,
I decided to generalize it to get large gains for normal addressing too:
Improve rematerialization costs of addresses. The current costs are set too
high
which results in extra register pressure and spilling. Using lower costs means
addresses will be rematerialized more often rather than being spilled or causing
spills. This results in significant codesize reductions and performance gains.
SPECINT2017 improves by 0.27% with LTO and 0.16% without LTO. Codesize is 0.12%
smaller.
Passes bootstrap and regress. OK for commit?
ChangeLog:
2021-06-01 Wilco Dijkstra <wdijk...@arm.com>
* config/aarch64/aarch64.c (aarch64_rtx_costs): Use better
rematerialization
costs for HIGH, LO_SUM and SYMBOL_REF.
