Move the Thumb2SizeReduce pass to before IfConversion when optimising
for minimal code size.
Running the Thumb2SizeReduction pass before IfConversionallows T1
instructions to propagate to the final output, rather than the
ifConverter modifying T2 instructions and preventing them from being
reduced later.
This change does introduce a regression regarding execution time, so
it's only applied when optimising for size.
Running the LLVM Test Suite with this change produces a geomean
difference of -0.1% for the size..text metric.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D82439
A Thumb-2 post-indexed LDR instruction such as:
ldr.w r0, [r1], #4
Can be rewritten as:
ldm.n r1!, {r0}
LDMs can be more expensive than LDRs on some cores, so this has been enabled only in minsize mode.
