Subject: [committed] [RISC-V] Fix detection of store pair fusion cases
Date: Wed, 1 May 2024 11:30:36 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <c79f7966-f869-426f-863c-1bcf817e3e66@ventanamicro.com> (raw)

We've got the ability to count the number of store pair fusions 
happening in the front-end of the pipeline.  When comparing some code 
from last year vs the current trunk we saw a fairly dramatic drop.

The problem is the store pair fusion detection code was actively harmful 
due to a minor bug in checking offsets.   So instead of pairing up 8 
byte stores such as sp+0 with sp+8, it tried to pair up sp+8 and sp+16.

Given uarch sensitivity I didn't try to pull together a testcase.  But 
we could certainly see the undesirable behavior in benchmarks as 
simplistic as dhrystone up through spec2017.

Anyway, bootstrapped a while back.  Also verified through our 
performance counters that store pair fusion rates are back up. 
Regression tested with crosses a few minutes ago.



Pushing to the trunk and coordination branch.
