           Summary: [ia64] Speculative load not checked before use,
                    leading to a NaT Consumption Vector interruption
           Product: gcc
           Version: 5.1.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal

Reproducible test case.

I hit what appears to be a bug in handling speculative loads on Itanium in GCC
5.1.0. I am going to attach a simplified testcase derived from the latest
HelenOS sources, which reproduces the issue.

In the Ski IA-64 simulator running HelenOS, I can see the following sequence of
events wrt. r23:

 4407ff0:       09 b0 00 00 00 21       [MMI]       mov r22=r0

NaT consumption vector

In short, after doing the speculative load to r23, a conditional branch is
taken to code path which uses the speculatively-loaded register without first
running chk.s on it. So if the register has a NaT bit set (such as after a
deferred exception), there is going to be the NaT consumption vector
interruption on address 44081a0 above.

The issue did not show with GCC 4.8.1, but shows with GCC 5.1.0. Don't know
about the versions in between. The issue is also somewhat similar to an already
fixed Bug ID #53975. The same workaround applies, i.e.
-fno-selective-scheduling -fno-selective-scheduling2 will prevent the bug from
occurring.
