Thanks Honza. Added the testcase. I didn't modify source code of 538.imagic_r, the original source code has attribute like:

#define magick_hot_spot  __attribute__((__hot__))
static Cache *SetPixelCacheNexusPixels( ... ) magick_hot_spot;

NP, I guessed you were busy during that time, my earlier patch was partially duplicated with function "Elimination_by_inlining_prob", 
except "parameter points to caller local memory" part, maybe we can find a suitable place to add local memory part  to the IPA.
