Alexander Markov f4e61eacfd [vm/compiler] Remove PushArgument instructions from IL up to AllocateRegisters
PushArgument instructions are removed from IL while it is constructed and
optimized. Before allocating registers, PushArgument instructions are
inserted immediately before call instructions. On ARM/ARM64 subsequent
PushArgument instructions are generated using store multiple (STM) / store
pair (STP) instructions which reduces size.

Flutter gallery in release mode after this CL and https://dart-review.googlesource.com/c/sdk/+/129324:
arm: instructions size -1.4%, total size -0.83%
arm64: instructions size -1.43%, total size -0.83%

Dart VM Compilation Pipeline

This folder contains Dart VM compilation pipeline.

Compilation pipeline is mainly responsible for converting AST or Kernel AST into IL flow graphs and then generating native code from IL.

It has the following structure:

Directory What goes there
assembler/ Assemblers and disassemblers
backend/ IL based compilation backend: optimization passes and architecture specific code generation rules
frontend/ Frontends responsible for converting AST into IL
jit/ JIT specific passes and compilation pipeline entry points
aot/ AOT specific passes and compilation pipeline entry points
. Shared code or code without clear designation.

Currently there are no layering restrictions and components from different subfolders can reference each other.
