cmd/asm/internal,cmd/internal/obj/ppc64: add alignment directive to asm for ppc64x
This adds support for an alignment directive that can be used
within Go asm to indicate preferred code alignment for ppc64x.
This is intended to be used with loops to improve
performance.
This change only adds the directive and aligns the code based
on it. Follow up changes will modify asm functions for
ppc64x that benefit from preferred alignment.
Fixes #14935
Here is one example of the improvement in memmove when the
directive is used on the loops in the code:
Memmove/64 8.74ns ± 0% 8.64ns ± 0% -1.19% (p=0.000 n=8+8)
Memmove/128 11.5ns ± 0% 11.0ns ± 0% -4.35% (p=0.000 n=8+8)
Memmove/256 23.0ns ± 0% 15.3ns ± 0% -33.48% (p=0.000 n=8+8)
Memmove/512 31.7ns ± 0% 31.8ns ± 0% +0.32% (p=0.000 n=8+8)
Memmove/1024 52.3ns ± 0% 43.9ns ± 0% -16.10% (p=0.000 n=8+8)
Memmove/2048 93.2ns ± 0% 76.2ns ± 0% -18.24% (p=0.000 n=8+8)
Memmove/4096 174ns ± 0% 141ns ± 0% -18.97% (p=0.000 n=8+8)
