Summary:
When lowering global address, lower the base as a TargetGlobal first then
create an SDNode for the offset separately and chain it to the address calculation
This optimization will create a DAG where the base address of a global access will
be reused between different access. The offset can later be folded into the immediate
part of the memory access instruction.
With this optimization we generate:
lui a0, %hi(s)
addi a0, a0, %lo(s) ; shared base address.
addi a1, zero, 20 ; 2 instructions per access.
sw a1, 44(a0)
addi a1, zero, 10
sw a1, 8(a0)
addi a1, zero, 30
sw a1, 80(a0)
Instead of:
lui a0, %hi(s+44) ; 3 instructions per access.
addi a1, zero, 20
sw a1, %lo(s+44)(a0)
lui a0, %hi(s+8)
addi a1, zero, 10
sw a1, %lo(s+8)(a0)
lui a0, %hi(s+80)
addi a1, zero, 30
sw a1, %lo(s+80)(a0)
Which will save one instruction per access.
