    [liftoff] Cache the instance in a register · adf035fb
    Clemens Backes authored
    This CL avoids redundant loads of the instance from the frame by caching
    it in a register if possible. This register will be the first one to be
    cleared once we run out of registers (hence it's called a "volatile
    register"). On local tests, this seems to reduce most redundant loads
    within a function, and it also reduces the load for the stack check in
    the function prologue.
    After the stack check, we need to discard the cached instance though,
    since the potential runtime call for the stack check might clobber it.
    This will be addressed in a follow-up CL by re-loading the cached
    instance after the stack check. This is expected to remove another good
    chunk of instance loads, because the instance would initially be
    available in a register when starting the function code.
