8315554: C1: Replace "cmp reg, 0" with "test reg, reg" on x86

[shipilev]

Noticed this when looking at C1 profiling code. There are plenty of usages for cmp reg, 0 in C1 x86 code, both in generic LIR_Assembler::comp_op, and in some profiling paths.

test reg, reg is a denser idiom for this comparison. The difference between cmp and test on x86 seems to be only with AF (aux carry flag). For ubiquitous int/pointer comparisons, this distinction is irrelevant.

C2 already does this transformation in .ad match rules.

Looks good!

[TobiHartmann]

Looks good.

[shipilev]

Our tests here look fine. Mind if I ask @TobiHartmann, @chhagedorn or @veresov to give this one a spin in Oracle test CIs?

[chhagedorn]

Already done - results look good on Windows and Linux! We currently have quite a load for MacOS testing, so it will probably not finish in a timely manner. But I guess it's fine to not wait for that and move forward.

[shipilev]

All right then!
