Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] rs6000: Add new pass for replacement of contiguous addresses vector load lxv with lxvp
Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2023 02:05:16 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ZWWRLIeGQdFsBy6a@cowardly-lion.the-meissners.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <ef0c54a5-c35c-3519-f062-9ac78ee66b81@linux.ibm.com>

I tried using this patch to compare with the vector size attribute patch I
posted.  I could not build it as a cross compiler on my x86_64 because the
assembler gives the following error:

Error: operand out of domain (11 is not a multiple of 2) for
std_stacktrace-elf.o.  If you look at the assembler, it has combined a lxvp 11
and lxvp 12 into:

        lxvp 11,0(9)

The powerpc architecture requires that registers that are loaded with load
vector pair and stored with store vector point instructions only load/store
even/odd register pairs, and not odd/even pairs.  Unfortunately, it will mean
that this optimization will match less often.
