    ARM64: [turbofan] Avoid zero-extension after a 32-bit load · f07d2cdd
    pierre.langlois authored
    A load instruction will implicitely clear the top 32 bits when writing to a W
    register. This patch avoids generating a `mov` instruction to zero-extend the
    result in this case.
    
    For example, this occurs in the generated code for dispatching to the next
    bytecode in the interpreter:
    
      kind = BYTECODE_HANDLER
      name = LdaZero
      compiler = turbofan
