Currently the Arm backend selects the alternative sched pressure algorithm. The issue is that this doesn't take register pressure into account, and so it causes significant additional spilling on Arm where there are only 14 allocatable registers. SPEC2006 shows significant codesize reduction with the default pressure algorithm, so switch back to that. PR77308 shows ~800 fewer instructions. SPECINT2006 is ~0.6% faster on Cortex-A57 together with the other DImode patches. Overall SPEC codesize is 1.1% smaller.
