Enable small loop unrolling for O2
Modern processors has multiple way instruction decoders
For x86, icelake/zen3 has 5 uops, so for small loop with <= 4
instructions (usually has 3 uops with a cmp/jmp pair that can be
macro-fused), the decoder would have 2 uops bubble for each iteration
and the pipeline could not be fully utilized.
Therefore, this patch enables loop unrolling for small size loop at O2
to fullfill the decoder as much as possible. It turns on rtl loop
unrolling when targetm.loop_unroll_adjust exists and O2 plus speed only.
In x86 backend the default behavior is to unroll small loops with less
than 4 insns by 1 time.
This improves 548.exchange2 by 9% on icelake and 7.4% on zen3 with
0.9% codesize increment. For other benchmarks the variants are minor
and overall codesize increased by 0.2%.
The kernel image size increased by 0.06%, and no impact on eembc.
gcc/ChangeLog:
* common/config/i386/i386-common.cc (ix86_optimization_table):
Enable small loop unroll at O2 by default.
* config/i386/i386.cc (ix86_loop_unroll_adjust): Adjust unroll
factor if -munroll-only-small-loops enabled and -funroll-loops/
-funroll-all-loops are disabled.
* config/i386/i386.h (struct processor_costs): Add 2 field
small_unroll_ninsns and small_unroll_factor.

when target hook loop_unroll_adjust exists.
