Take e.g a forward rep movsb copy from addr 0 to 1, the expected
behaviour since this is a bytewise copy is:
before: aaabbbb...
after: aaaaaaa...
but by copying in 32-byte chunks we end up with:
after: aaaabbbb...
due to the self overwrites not occuring within a single 32 bit copy.
When TSO is disabled, vector LDP/STP can be used for a two
instruction 32 byte memory copy which is significantly faster than the
current byte-by-byte copy. Performing two such copies directly after
oneanother also marginally increases copy speed for all sizes >=64.
I was looking at some other JIT overheads and this cropped up as some
overhead. Instead of materializing a constant using mov+movk+movk+movk,
load it from the named vector constant array.
In a micro-benchmark this improved performance by 34%.
In bytemark this improved on subbench by 0.82%
Missed this instruction when implementing rdtscp. Returns the same ID
result in a register just like rdtscp, but without the cycle counter
results. Doesn't touch any flags just like rdtscp.
x86 has a few prefetch instructions.
- prefetch - One of two classic 3DNow! instructions
- Prefetch in to L1 data cache
- prefetchw - One of two classic 3DNow! instructions
- Implies prefetch in to L1 data cache
- Prefetch cacheline with intent to write and exclusive ownership
- prefetchnta
- Prefetch non-temporal data in respect to /all/ cache levels
- Assumes inclusive caches?
- prefetch{t0,t1,t2}
- Prefetch data with respect to each cache level
- T0 = L1 and higher
- T1 = L2 and higher
- T2 = L3 and higher
**Some silly duplicates**
- prefetchwt1
- Duplicate of prefetchw but explicitly L1 data cache
- prefetch_exclusive
- Duplicate of prefetch
God Of War 2018 uses prefetchw as a hint for exclusive ownership of the
cacheline in some very aggressive spin-loops. Let's implement the
operations to help it along.
ldswpal doesn't overwrite the source register and only reads the bits
required for the sized operation.
Not sure exactly why we were doing a copy here.
Removing it means improving Skyrim's hottest code block, as seen in #3472
This reduces pointless constant usage. For now, it's no net change to
instcountci, but it should make it easier to get wins later. Hopefully.

this gets rid of the awkward non-flag SBB case, which streamlines SBB. while
getting better codegen for the demon opcode (-:

The usual tricks, also requires introducing a bare adc op to optimize adcs to,
but we wanted that anyway!
Also support a zero source, so we can calculate "foo + CF" in one instruction to
optimize the "lock adc" cases.
