JDK-6910484 - incorrect integer optimization (loosing and op-r in a given example)
Description
C2 clone original loop's probability when it constructs pre-, main, post- loops.
Then C2 adds zero-trip guard for main loop with probability FAIR.
As result a main loop's probability could be half of a pre-loop's probability
and RA may generates stack spills in the main loop and not in the pre-loop.
Comments
SUGGESTED FIX - Fix loop's probability. - Prevent some ideal optimizations for loop's trip counter to avoid having two live values which could cause spilling. - Add several ideal optimizations to improve code from a loop cloning. - Improve a spill copy removal in post allocation.
