Josh Bleecher Snyder d9a50a6531 cmd/compile: use prove pass to detect Ctz of non-zero values
On amd64, Ctz must include special handling of zeros.
But the prove pass has enough information to detect whether the input
is non-zero, allowing a more efficient lowering.

Introduce new CtzNonZero ops to capture and use this information.

Benchmark code:

func BenchmarkVisitBits(b *testing.B) {
	b.Run("8", func(b *testing.B) {
		for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
			x := uint8(0xff)
			for x != 0 {
				sink = bits.TrailingZeros8(x)
				x &= x - 1
			}
		}
	})

    // and similarly so for 16, 32, 64
}

name            old time/op  new time/op  delta
VisitBits/8-8   7.27ns ± 4%  5.58ns ± 4%  -23.35%  (p=0.000 n=28+26)
VisitBits/16-8  14.7ns ± 7%  10.5ns ± 4%  -28.43%  (p=0.000 n=30+28)
VisitBits/32-8  27.6ns ± 8%  19.3ns ± 3%  -30.14%  (p=0.000 n=30+26)
VisitBits/64-8  44.0ns ±11%  38.0ns ± 5%  -13.48%  (p=0.000 n=30+30)

Fixes #25077

The test directory contains tests of the Go tool chain and runtime. It includes black box tests, regression tests, and error output tests. They are run as part of all.bash.

To run just these tests, execute:

../bin/go run run.go

Standard library tests should be written as regular Go tests in the appropriate package.

The tool chain and runtime also have regular Go tests in their packages. The main reasons to add a new test to this directory are:

  • it is most naturally expressed using the test runner; or
  • it is also applicable to gccgo and other Go tool chains.
