rs6000: Allow FPRs to change between SDmode and DDmode [PR94254] · 713ecb3d
g:497498c8 caused lra to cycle on some SDmode reloads for power6. As explained in more detail in the PR comments, the problem was a conflict between two target hooks: rs6000_secondary_memory_needed_mode required SDmode FPR reloads to use DDmode memory (rightly, since using SDmode memory wouldn't make progress) but rs6000_can_change_mode_class didn't allow FPRs to change from SDmode to DDmode. Previously lra ignored that and changed the mode anyway. From what Segher says, it sounds like the "from_size < 8 || to_size < 8" check is mostly there for SF<->64-bit subregs, and that SDmode is stored in the way that target-independent code expects. This patch therefore allows SD<->DD changes. I wondered about checking for SD<->64-bit changes instead, but that seemed like an unnecessary generalisation for this stage. 2020-03-23 Richard Sandiford <richard.sandiford@arm.com> gcc/ PR target/94254 * config/rs6000/rs6000.c (rs6000_can_change_mode_class): Allow FPRs to change between SDmode and DDmode.
