The preserve_most calling convention attempts to make the code in the caller as unintrusive as possible. This convention behaves identically to the C calling convention on how arguments and return values are passed, but it uses a different set of caller/callee-saved registers. This alleviates the burden of saving and recovering a large register set before and after the call in the caller." [1] https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AttributeReference.html#preserve-most Use of this attribute results in better code generation for calls to very rarely called functions, such as error-reporting functions, or rarely executed slow paths. Introduce the attribute to compiler_attributes.h.
