Computing sum introduces true data dependency. This patch removes some
true data depdendencies, hence increases instruction level parallelism.
This patch brings up to 50% csum performance gain on Loongson 3a.
One example about how this patch works is in CSUM_BIGCHUNK1:
// ** original ** vs ** patch applied **
ADDC(sum, t0) ADDC(t0, t1)
ADDC(sum, t1) ADDC(t2, t3)
ADDC(sum, t2) ADDC(sum, t0)
ADDC(sum, t3) ADDC(sum, t2)
In the original implementation, each ADDC(sum, ...) depends on the sum
value updated by previous ADDC(as source operand).
With this patch applied, the first two ADDC operations are independent,
hence can be executed simultaneously if possible.
Another example is in the "copy and sum calculating chunk":
// ** original ** vs ** patch applied **
STORE(t0, UNIT(0) ... STORE(t0, UNIT(0) ...
ADDC(sum, t0) ADDC(t0, t1)
STORE(t1, UNIT(1) ... STORE(t1, UNIT(1) ...
ADDC(sum, t1) ADDC(sum, t0)
STORE(t2, UNIT(2) ... STORE(t2, UNIT(2) ...
ADDC(sum, t2) ADDC(t2, t3)
STORE(t3, UNIT(3) ... STORE(t3, UNIT(3) ...
ADDC(sum, t3) ADDC(sum, t2)
With this patch applied, ADDC and the **next next** ADDC are independent.
