cmd/compile, runtime: intrinsify atomic And8 and Or8 on s390x
Intrinsify these functions to match other platforms. Update the
sequence of instructions used in the assembly implementations to
match the intrinsics.
Also, add a micro benchmark so we can more easily measure the
performance of these two functions:
name old time/op new time/op delta
And8-8 5.33ns ± 7% 2.55ns ± 8% -52.12% (p=0.000 n=20+20)
And8Parallel-8 7.39ns ± 5% 3.74ns ± 4% -49.34% (p=0.000 n=20+20)
Or8-8 4.84ns ±15% 2.64ns ±11% -45.50% (p=0.000 n=20+20)
Or8Parallel-8 7.27ns ± 3% 3.84ns ± 4% -47.10% (p=0.000 n=19+20)
By using a 'rotate then xor selected bits' instruction combined with
either a 'load and and' or a 'load and or' instruction we can
implement And8 and Or8 with far fewer instructions. Replacing
'compare and swap' with atomic instructions may also improve
performance when there is contention.
