nfp: bpf: implement memory bulk copy for length within 32-bytes
For NFP, we want to re-group a sequence of load/store pairs lowered from memcpy/memmove into single memory bulk operation which then could be accelerated using NFP CPP bus. This patch extends the existing load/store auxiliary information by adding two new fields: struct bpf_insn *paired_st; s16 ldst_gather_len; Both fields are supposed to be carried by the the load instruction at the head of the sequence. "paired_st" is the corresponding store instruction at the head and "ldst_gather_len" is the gathered length. If "ldst_gather_len" is negative, then the sequence is doing memory load/store in descending order, otherwise it is in ascending order. We need this information to detect overlapped memory access. This patch then optimize memory bulk copy when the copy length is within 32-bytes. The strategy of read/write used is: * Read. Use read32 (direct_ref), always. * Write. - length <= 8-bytes write8 (direct_ref). - length <= 32-bytes and is 4-byte aligned write32 (direct_ref). - length <= 32-bytes but is not 4-byte aligned write8 (indirect_ref). NOTE: the optimization should not change program semantics. The destination register of the last load instruction should contain the same value before and after this optimization.
