reproducer source code

I'm seeing a ~15% performance regression in gcc-14 compared to gcc-13, using
gcc on Ubuntu 24.04:

Versions:
gcc version 13.2.0 (Ubuntu 13.2.0-23ubuntu4)=20
gcc version 14.0.1 20240412 (experimental) [master r14-9935-g67e1433a94f]
(Ubuntu 14-20240412-0ubuntu1)=20

cking@skylake:~$ gcc-13 reproducer-bitonicsort.c -O2
cking@skylake:~$ ./a.out=20
duration: 5.71 seconds, count =3D 1119566602

cking@skylake:~$ gcc-14 reproducer-bitonicsort.c -O2
cking@skylake:~$ ./a.out=20
duration: 6.56 seconds, count =3D 1119566602

The original issue appeared when regression testing stress-ng bitonic sorti=
ng
stressor [1]. I've managed to extract the attached reproducer from the orig=
inal
code (see attached).

Salient point to focus on:

1. The issue is also dependant on the use of _Pragma("GCC unroll 4")
2. The issue is also dependant on the use of __attribute__((optimize("-O3")=
))
by use of the OPTIMIZE3 macro in the example.

Attached are the reproducer C source and disassembled object code.=20
