Hi, This patch teaches GCC that zero-extending a MVE predicate from 16-bits to 32-bits and then only using 16-bits is a no-op. It does so in two steps: - it lets gcc know that it can access any MVE predicate mode using any other MVE predicate mode without needing to copy it, using the TARGET_MODES_TIEABLE_P hook, - it teaches simplify_subreg to optimize a subreg with a vector outermode, by replacing this outermode with a same-sized integer mode and trying the avalailable optimizations, then if successful it surrounds the result with a subreg casting it back to the original vector outermode. This removes the unnecessary zero-extending shown on PR 107674 (though it's a sign-extend there), that was introduced in gcc 11. Bootstrapped on aarch64-none-linux-gnu and regression tested on arm-none-eabi and armeb-none-eabi for armv8.1-m.main+mve.fp. OK for trunk? gcc/ChangeLog: PR target/107674 * conig/arm/arm.cc (arm_hard_regno_mode_ok): Use new MACRO. (arm_modes_tieable_p): Make MVE predicate modes tieable. * config/arm/arm.h (VALID_MVE_PRED_MODE): New define. * simplify-rtx.cc (simplify_context::simplify_subreg): Teach simplify_subreg to simplify subregs where the outermode is not scalar. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gcc.target/arm/mve/mve_vpt.c: Change to remove unecessary zero-extend.
