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.

    [committed] [RISC-V] Fix detection of store pair fusion cases
    
    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.
