STRD is an ARMv7 instruction that stores two consecutive 32-bit words in one operation. A single STRD saves one clock cycle compared to two LDRs. Shortened code also leads to less time spent on instruction fetch and more efficient I-cache utilization.

LDRD is an ARMv7 instruction that loads two consecutive 32-bit words in one operation. A single LDRD saves one clock cycle compared to two LDRs.
The optimization introduced by this commit may not significantly affect performance, since the final LDM instruction may have to wait for the previous load instruction(s) to free up the load pipeline. However, future modifications that reduce the load pressure from the succeding instructions can benefit from this optimization. Also, shortened code leads to less time spent on instruction fetch and more efficient I-cache utilization.

Hi,
While running your changed tests, I think I found new failures. Being a bot and all I'm not very good at pattern recognition, so I might be wrong, but could you please double-check?

We had to avoid strd previously due to some processors not supporting it [1]. Is this instruction portable enough?

LDRD and STRD are ARMv7 instructions. There is at least one instance of LDRD in dlls/ntdll/signal_arm.c, in call_consolidate_callback. If we're aiming for pre-ARMv7 CPUs, we might as well have to remove it.
Otherwise I'd just blame the assembler. Maybe use .inst instead?

These days we basically require ARMv7, for multiple reasons.
