[AArch64] Use more LDP/STP in shrinkwrapping
The shrinkwrap optimization added in GCC 7 allows each callee-save to be delayed and done only across blocks which need a particular callee-save. Although this reduces unnecessary memory traffic on code paths that need few callee-saves, it typically uses LDR/STR rather than LDP/STP. This means more memory accesses and increased codesize, ~1.0% on average. To improve this, if a particular callee-save must be saved/restored, also add the adjacent callee-save to allow use of LDP/STP. This significantly reduces codesize (for example gcc_r, povray_r, parest_r, xalancbmk_r are 1% smaller). This is a simple fix which can be backported. A more advanced approach would scan blocks for pairs of callee-saves, but that requires a full rewrite of all the callee-save code which is too late at this stage. An example epilog in a shrinkwrapped function before: ldp x21, x22, [sp,#16] ldr x23, [sp,#32] ldr x24, [sp,#40] ldp x25, x26, [sp,#48] ldr x27, [sp,#64] ldr x28, [sp,#72] ldr x30, [sp,#80] ldr d8, [sp,#88] ldp x19, x20, [sp],#96 ret And after this patch: ldr d8, [sp,#88] ldp x21, x22, [sp,#16] ldp x23, x24, [sp,#32] ldp x25, x26, [sp,#48] ldp x27, x28, [sp,#64] ldr x30, [sp,#80] ldp x19, x20, [sp],#96 ret gcc/ * config/aarch64/aarch64.c (aarch64_components_for_bb): Increase LDP/STP opportunities by adding adjacent callee-saves.
