Summary: This patch implements a new code layout algorithm. It has been tested for x86 and is disabled on other platforms. Performance varies slightly be CPU/Machine but in general seems to be better by around 2%. Nofib shows only small differences of about +/- ~0.5% overall depending on flags/machine performance in other benchmarks improved significantly. Other benchmarks includes at least the benchmarks of: aeson, vector, megaparsec, attoparsec, containers, text and xeno. While the magnitude of gains differed three different CPUs where tested with all getting faster although to differing degrees. I tested: Sandy Bridge(Xeon), Haswell, Skylake * Library benchmark results summarized: * containers: ~1.5% faster * aeson: ~2% faster * megaparsec: ~2-5% faster * xml library benchmarks: 0.2%-1.1% faster * vector-benchmarks: 1-4% faster * text: 5.5% faster On average GHC compile times go down, as GHC compiled with the new layout is faster than the overhead introd...
