Awful(?) code in AArch64 stg_BLACKHOLE entry code
It's been a while since I've look at ARM assembler but this doesn't look right:
Dump of assembler code for function stg_BLACKHOLE_info$def:
0x0000ffffb66d6118 <+0>: mov x23, x22
0x0000ffffb66d611c <+4>: ldr x22, [x22, #8]
0x0000ffffb66d6120 <+8>: tst x22, #0x7
0x0000ffffb66d6124 <+12>: b.ne 0xffffb66d6224 <stg_BLACKHOLE_info$def+268> // b.any
0x0000ffffb66d6128 <+16>: adrp x25, 0xffffb66fb000
0x0000ffffb66d612c <+20>: adrp x26, 0xffffb66fb000
0x0000ffffb66d6130 <+24>: adrp x27, 0xffffb66fb000
0x0000ffffb66d6134 <+28>: adrp x29, 0xffffb66fb000
0x0000ffffb66d6138 <+32>: ldr x25, [x25, #3880]
0x0000ffffb66d613c <+36>: ldr x26, [x26, #3888]
0x0000ffffb66d6140 <+40>: ldr x27, [x27, #3896]
0x0000ffffb66d6144 <+44>: ldr x29, [x29, #3904]
0x0000ffffb66d6148 <+48>: sub x24, x19, #0x18
0x0000ffffb66d614c <+52>: ldr x8, [x22]
0x0000ffffb66d6150 <+56>: cmp x8, x25
...
Why do we adrp four times? Couldn't this be reused, with each ldr result going to a separate register?
