Remove uses of reg_mod from the s390x backend. This required moving away from using r0/r1 as the result registers from a few different pseudo instructions, standardizing instead on r2/r3. That change was necessary as regalloc2 will not correctly allocate registers that aren't listed in the allocatable set, which r0/r1 are not.

* s390x: update some regalloc metadata to remove use of `reg_mod`.
This is a step toward ultimately removing modify-operands, which along
with removal of pinned vregs, lets us move to a completely
constraint-based and fully-SSA regalloc input and get some nice
advantages eventually.
There are still a few uses of `mod` operands and pinned vregs remaining,
especially around the "regpair" abstraction. Those proved to be a bit
trickier to update though, so will have to be done separately.
* Review feedback: restore two-arg pretty-print form.
* Review feedback.
This defines the full set of 32 128-bit vector registers on s390x.
(Note that the VRs overlap the existing FPRs.) In addition, this
adds support to use all 32 vector registers to implement floating-
point operations, by using vector floating-point instructions with
the 'W' bit set to operate only on the first element.
This part of the vector instruction set mostly matches the old FP
instruction set, with two exceptions:
- There is no vector version of the COPY SIGN instruction. Instead,
now use a VECTOR SELECT with an appropriate bit mask to implement
the fcopysign operation.
- There are no vector version of the float <-> int conversion
instructions where source and target differ in bit size. Use
appropriate multiple conversion steps instead. This also requires
use of explicit checking to implement correct overflow handling.
As a side effect, this version now also implements the i8 / i16
variants of all conversions, which had been missing so far.
For all operations except those two above, we continue to use the
old FP instruction if applicable (i.e. if all operands happen to
have been allocated to the original FP register set), and use the
vector instruction otherwise.
- Handle call instructions' clobbers with the clobbers API, using RA2's
clobbers bitmask (bytecodealliance/regalloc2#58) rather than clobbers
list;
- Pull in changes from bytecodealliance/regalloc2#59 for much more sane
edge-case behavior w.r.t. liverange splitting.
RA2 recently removed the need for a dedicated scratch register for
cyclic moves (bytecodealliance/regalloc2#51). This has moderate positive
performance impact on function bodies that were register-constrained, as
it means that one more register is available. In Sightglass, I measured
+5-8% on `blake3-scalar`, at least among current benchmarks.
* Narrow `allow(dead_code)` declarations
Having module wide `allow(dead_code)` may hide some code that's really
dead. In this commit I just narrowed the declarations to the specific
enum variants that were not used (as it seems reasonable to keep them
and their handling in all the matches, for future use). And the compiler
found more dead code that I think we can remove safely in the short
term.
With this, the only files annotated with a module-wide
`allow(dead_code)` are isle-generated files.
* resurrect some functions as test helpers
This PR switches Cranelift over to the new register allocator, regalloc2.
See [this document](https://gist.github.com/cfallin/08553421a91f150254fe878f67301801)
for a summary of the design changes. This switchover has implications for
core VCode/MachInst types and the lowering pass.
Overall, this change brings improvements to both compile time and speed of
generated code (runtime), as reported in #3942:
```
Benchmark Compilation (wallclock) Execution (wallclock)
blake3-scalar 25% faster 28% faster
blake3-simd no diff no diff
meshoptimizer 19% faster 17% faster
pulldown-cmark 17% faster no diff
bz2 15% faster no diff
SpiderMonkey, 21% faster 2% faster
fib(30)
clang.wasm 42% faster N/A
```
This adds support for the IBM z/Architecture (s390x-ibm-linux).
The status of the s390x backend in its current form is:
- Wasmtime is fully functional and passes all tests on s390x.
- All back-end features supported, with the exception of SIMD.
- There is still a lot of potential for performance improvements.
- Currently the only supported processor type is z15.
