While this interface is usually pretty fast because it is a write and
forget operation, this has issues when there are multiple threads
hitting the perf map file at the same time. In particular this interface
becomes a bottleneck due to a locking mutex on writes in the kernel.
The situations when this bottleneck occurs is when a bunch of threads
get spawned and they are all jitting code as quickly as possible. In
particular Geekbench's clang benchmark hits this hard where each CPU
thread spends ~40% CPU time on all eight CPU threads because they are
stalled waiting for this mutex to unlock.
To work around this issue, buffer the writes a small amount. Either up
to a page-ish of data or 100ms of time. This completely eliminates
threads waiting on the kernel mutex.
- Around a page of buffer space was chosen by profiling Geekbench's
clang benchmark and seeing how frequently it was still writing.
- 1024 bytes was still fairly aggressive, 4096 seemed fine.
- 100ms was chosen to ensure we don't wait /too/ long to write JIT
symbols.
- In most cases 100ms is enough that you won't notice the blip in
perf.
One thing of note is that with profiling enabled and checking the time
on every JIT block still ends up with 2-3% CPUtime in vdso
clock_gettime. We can improve this by using the cyclecounter directly
since that is still guaranteed to be monotonic. Maybe we'll come back to
that if it is actually an issue here.
We can cut down on a few of the generated moves. For
the case where both destinations alias one another,
we can just calculate the high part instead of both of them.
cmov was quite terrible in its implementation. Some things of note:
- NZCV cache would cause store for no reason
- {16,32}-bit would zero extend sources for no reason
- 16-bit would zero extend result for no reason
A bunch of flag testing is still doing a ubfx plus compare against zero
when it could end up being a tst instead, but this is a step in the
right direction and switches over to explicit sized selects.
If we are going to throw away the updated value of CF anyway there is no point
wasting an instruction to invert CF. Add an IR toggle for that so the arm64 JIT
can make better choices.

Wide shifts under SVE use 64-bit source elements. If a smaller element
overlaps the 64-bit shift element then it uses that shift
eg:
- Src1[15:0] >> Shift[63:0]
- Src1[31:16] >> Shift[63:0]
- Src1[47:32] >> Shift[63:0]
- Src1[63:48] >> Shift[63:0]
- After this point it will switch to the next 64-bit shift element
- Src1[79:64] >> Shift[127:64]
- Src1[95:80] >> Shift[127:64]
- Src1[111:96] >> Shift[127:64]
- Src1[127:112] >> Shift[127:64]
As seen, we can skip the duplication of the scalar element if the OpSize
is 64-bit, this makes MMX emulation slightly more optimal here.
This also means that a few instructions that weren't claimed to be
optimal actually are since they need the duplication operation (which
vixl always labels as a mov).
Hades and the vcruntime hits this very hard in memmove.

This performance is terrible because Cortex's LRCPC performance is bottom-tier.
Work around the performance issue by forcing things to do larger moves with vector moves instead.
The only version of this instruction that was generating optimal code
was the one with 64-bit destination and source.
Optimizes the rest of the operating sizes so that they are all optimal
at one instruction translations
16-bit MOVBE is a bit of a special case where it loads 16-bits in to the
bottom of the GPR without clearing the upper bits of the register.
Which means 32-bits or 64-bits depending on operating mode.
Arm64 doesn't support a 16-bit bswap so it needs to operate at 32-bits
instead. We then can insert the resulting bits of the 32-bit rev with a
bfxil in to the lower bits of the resulting destination register.
This allows 16-bit movbe to be optimal now.
Optimal blendps is worst case 2 instructions.
FEX's RA doesn't quite get there since it can't see through multiple
instructions with SRA destinations. That'll be fixed in the future.
Optimal blendps is always one instruction, one is a no-op.
We always hit this.
