This will allow investigating the Arm64 directly next to the test, plus
publicly linking directly to badly behaving tests.
Perfect for nerdsniping implementations.
Implements CI for tracking instruction counts for generate blocks of
code when transforming from x86 to ARM64 assembly.
This will end up encompassing every instruction in our instruction
tables similarly to how our assembly tests try to test everything in our
instruction tables.
Incidentally, the data for this CI is generated using our assembly
tests. By enabling disassembly and instruction stats when executing a
suite of instructions, this gives the stats that can be added to a json
file.
The current implementation only implements the SecondGroup table of
instructions because it is a relatively small table and has known
inefficiencies in the instruction implementations. As this gets merged I
will be adding more tables of instructions to additional json files for
testing.
These JSON files will support adjusting CPU features regardless of the
host features so it can test implementations depending on different CPU
features. This will let us test things like one instruction having
different "optimal" implementations depending on if it supports SVE128,
SVE256, SVEI8MM, etc.
This initial instruction auditing is what found the bug in our vector
shift instructions by size of zero. If inspecting the result of the CI
run, you can tell that these instructions still aren't "optimal" because
they are doing loads and stores that can be eliminated.
The "Optimal" in the JSON is purely for human readable and grepping
ability to see what is optimal versus not. Same with the "Comment"
section.
According to my auditing spreadsheet, the total number of instructions
that will end up in these json files will be about 1000, but we will
likely end up with more since there will be edge cases that can be more
optimal depending on arguments.
