Update Wasm benchmarks (#2957)
In https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/2941 we found out that the new Wasmi (register) is very effective at optimizing away certain benchmark bytecode constructs in a way that created an unfair advantage over Wasmi (stack) which yielded our former benchmarks to be ineffective at properly measuring the performance impact. This PR adjusts both affected benchmarks to fix the stated problems. Affected are - `instr_i64const` -> `instr_i64add`: Renamed since it now measures the performance impact of the Wasm `i64.add` instruction with locals as inputs and outputs. This makes it impossible for Wasmi (register) to aggressively optimize away the entire function body (as it previously did) but still provides a way for Wasmi (register) to shine with its register based execution model. - `call_with_code_per_byte`: Now uses `local.get` instead of `i32.const` for the `if` condition which prevents Wasmi (register) to aggressively optimizing away whole parts of the `if` creating an unfair advantage. cc @athei --------- Co-authored-by: command-bot <> Co-authored-by: Alexander Theißen <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Ignacio Palacios <[email protected]>
