aarch64: Add an early RA for strided registers
This pass adds a simple register allocator for FP & SIMD registers.
Its main purpose is to make use of SME2's strided LD1, ST1 and LUTI2/4
instructions, which require a very specific grouping structure,
and so would be difficult to exploit with general allocation.
The allocator is very simple. It gives up on anything that would
require spilling, or that it might not handle well for other reasons.
The allocator needs to track liveness at the level of individual FPRs.
Doing that fixes a lot of the PRs relating to redundant moves caused by
structure loads and stores. That particular problem is going to be
fixed more generally for GCC 15 by Lehua's RA patches.
However, the early-RA pass runs before scheduling, so it has a chance
to bag a spill-free allocation of vector code before the scheduler moves
things around. It could therefore still be useful for non-SME code
(e.g. for hand-scheduled ACLE code) even after Lehua's patches are in.
The pass is controlled by a tristate switch:
- -mearly-ra=all: run on all functions
- -mearly-ra=strided: run on functions that have access to strided
registers
- -mearly-ra=none: don't run on any function
The patch makes -mearly-ra=all the default at -O2 and above for now.
We can revisit this for GCC 15 once Lehua's patches are in;
-mearly-ra=strided might then be more appropriate.
As said previously, the pass is very naive. There's much more that we
could do, such as handling invariants better. The main focus is on not
committing to a bad allocation, rather than on handling as much as
possible.
