Data-driven from XENIA_JIT_HIST: after register caching the JIT was 73% native;
the frequent uncovered opcodes are VMX128 (the long pole), mtspr/mfspr, update-
form loads/stores, and a batch of cheap pure-register integer ops. This does the
cheap integer batch (each unblocks any block that only lacked it, and — since a
covered block can now chain through where an uncovered op used to break the
chain — the gain compounds: more native execution AND longer superblocks).
Added to covered() + emit_op, all validated against the interpreter by the diff
harness (none are sync_sensitive, so fully covered):
- extsbx/extshx/extswx — sign-extend byte/half/word (extsb/extsh write the
i32-view zero-extended per the 32-bit ABI, CR0 i32; extsw sign-extends into
the full 64, CR0 i64).
- cntlzwx/cntlzdx — count leading zeros (Cranelift clz).
- negx (OE=0) — rD = 0 - rA (ineg), full 64-bit, CR0 on low 32.
- slwx/srwx — word shifts; explicit `sh<32 ? shift : 0` select
because the count is rB[58:63] (6 bits) and Cranelift's ishl/ushr mask to 5.
- sldx/srdx — doubleword shifts, `sh<64 ? shift : 0` (count 7 bits).
New emit_cr0_signed64 for the doubleword-result CR0 (a value with low32==0 but
high bits set is eq in the 32-bit view but not the 64-bit one). The carry-setting
shifts (sraw*/srad*, set XER-CA) and rotate-double (rldic*) are deferred to later
batches.
Validated (foreground per the bg-SIGTERM finding): 7/7 jit unit tests; diff
MISMATCHES=0 over 47.9M blocks; coverage 75.4% -> 80.6% (single-block, diff
mode). Perf (RUST_LOG=warn, -n 3e9 to amortize compiles): chain wall 57952ms ->
54748ms (-5.5% from coverage alone; run_block calls 110M -> 98M = more chaining),
chain -14.3% vs interp (63.9s) this session. -n 2e9 understates it (more blocks
compiled = more compile cost inside the STEP timer at under-amortized -n).
