[PPC]: Peephole optimize small accesss to aligned globals.
Access to aligned globals gives us a chance to peephole optimize nonzero offsets. If a struct is 4 byte aligned, then accesses to bytes 0-3 won't overflow the available displacement. For example: addis 3, 2, b4v@toc@ha addi 4, 3, b4v@toc@l lbz 5, b4v@toc@l(3) ; This is the result of the current peephole lbz 6, 1(4) ; optimizer lbz 7, 2(4) lbz 8, 3(4) If b4v is 4-byte aligned, we can skip using register 4 because we know that b4v@toc@l+{1,2,3} won't overflow 32K, and instead generate: addis 3, 2, b4v@toc@ha lbz 4, b4v@toc@l(3) lbz 5, b4v@toc@l+1(3) lbz 6, b4v@toc@l+2(3) lbz 7, b4v@toc@l+3(3) Saving a register and an addition. Larger alignments allow larger structures/arrays to be optimized. llvm-svn: 255319
