This patch series moves some instructions from decode legacy to decodetree and translate said instructions with gvec. Some cases using gvec ended up with a bigger, more complex and slower so those instructions were only moved to decodetree. In each patch there's a comparison of the execution time before the patch being applied and after. Said result is the sum of 10 executions. The program used to time the execution worked like this: clock_t start = clock(); for (int i = 0; i < LOOP; i++) { asm ( load values in registers, between 2 and 3 instructions ".rept REPT\n\t" "INSTRUCTION registers\n\t" ".endr\n\t" save result from register, 1 instruction ); } clock_t end = clock(); printf("INSTRUCTION rept=REPT loop=LOOP, time taken: %.12lf\n", ((double)(end - start))/ CLOCKS_PER_SEC); Where the column rept in the value used in .rept in the inline assembly and loop column is the value used for the for loop. All of those tests were executed on a Power9. When comparing the TCGop the data used was gathered using '-d op' and '-d op_opt'.
