bpf: New optimization pass for eliminating unnecessary i32 promotions
This pass performs peephole optimizations to cleanup ugly code sequences at
MachineInstruction layer.
Currently, the only optimization in this pass is to eliminate type
promotion
sequences for zero extending 32-bit subregisters to 64-bit registers.
If the compiler could prove the zero extended source come from 32-bit
subregistere then it is safe to erase those promotion sequece, because the
upper half of the underlying 64-bit registers were zeroed implicitly
already.
