             Bug #: 52574
           Summary: [4.6 Regression] gcc tree optimizer generates
                    incorrect vector load instructions for x86_64, app
                    crashes
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.3
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: tree-optimization
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: doko@gcc.gnu.org


[forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/663654]

The following versions of gcc:
 Debian gcc-4.6.3-1,
 Debain gcc-4.4.6-14,
 Debian gcc-4.6.2-14,
 Debian gcc-4.4.6-15,
 Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5
generates *wrong* code - aligned vector loads instead of unaligned vector loads
for x86_64 arch. This causes the compiled code to crash with
SIGSEGV(General Protection Fault).

Bug *not* present on trunk and gcc-4.5.3-12.

Consider the following program:

        void foo(int* __restrict ia, int n){
          int i;
          for(i=0;i<n;i++){
            ia[i]=ia[i]*ia[i];
          }
        }

        int main(){
          int a[9];
          int sum=0,i;
          for(i=0;i<9;i++){
            a[i]=(i*i)%128;
          }

          foo((int*)((char*)a+2), 8);

          for(i=0;i<9;i++){
            sum+=a[i];
          }
          return sum;
        }

In x86 and x86_64, unaligned word access are valid
  - *((int*)<unaligned memory address>)
But x86_64 SSE has two kinds of vector instructions
  - aligned vector move (movdqa)
  - unaligned vector move (movdqu)
Use of aligned vector move with an unaligned vector address,
will trigger the application to crash.


When compiled with any of the following command lines:
  gcc -O3 foo.c
  g++ -O3 foo.c
  gcc -m64 -O2 -ftree-vectorize gcc_bug.c
  g++ -m64 -O2 -ftree-vectorize gcc_bug.c
gcc generates an aligned vector load
  movdqa  -54(%rsp,%rax), %xmm0
instead of unaligned vector load - movdqu.

This result in above application to crash with
SIGSEGV(General Protection Fault).

gcc-4.7 correctly generates
    movdqu  -54(%rsp), %xmm0
