bpf,x64: use shrx/sarx/shlx when available
BMI2 provides 3 shift instructions (shrx, sarx and shlx) that use VEX encoding but target general purpose registers [1]. They allow the shift count in any general purpose register and have the same performance as non BMI2 shift instructions [2]. Instead of shr/sar/shl that implicitly use %cl (lowest 8 bit of %rcx), emit their more flexible alternatives provided in BMI2 when advantageous; keep using the non BMI2 instructions when shift count is already in BPF_REG_4/%rcx as non BMI2 instructions are shorter. To summarize, when BMI2 is available: ------------------------------------------------- | arbitrary dst ================================================= src == ecx | shl dst, cl ------------------------------------------------- src != ecx | shlx dst, dst, src ------------------------------------------------- And no additional register shuffling is needed. A concrete example between non BMI2 and BMI2 codegen.
