We want to issue loads as soon as possible, especially when they
are going to miss in the cache. Using a conditional move (CMOV) here:
i := ...
if cond {
i++
}
... = a[i]
means that we have to wait for cond to be computed before the load
is issued. Without a CMOV, if the branch is predicted correctly the
load can be issued in parallel with computing cond.
Even if the branch is predicted incorrectly, maybe the speculative
load is close to the real load, and we get a prefetch for free.
In the worst case, when the prediction is wrong and the address is
way off, we only lose by the time difference between the CMOV
latency (~2 cycles) and the mispredict restart latency (~15 cycles).
We only squash CMOVs that affect load addresses. Results of CMOVs
that are used for other things (store addresses, store values) we
use as before.
Fixes #26306
