Hi

I noticed that for T32 we don't allow any old register for DImode 
values. The restriction of an even register is true only for ARM state 
because the ISA doesn't allow any old register in this place. In a few 
large .i files that I had knocking about, noticed a nice drop in stack 
usage and a generally improved register allocation strategy.

Queued for stage1 after suitable testing including a bootstrap and 
regression test in Thumb2 found no issues.

regards
Ramana

         * config/arm/arm.c (arm_hard_regno_mode_ok): Loosen 
restrictions on core registers for DImode values in Thumb2.

Hi Ramana,

I've noticed some regressions after this patch has been committed (rev 209615):

  gcc.c-torture/compile/pr34856.c  -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer
-funroll-all-loops -finline-functions
  gcc.c-torture/compile/pr34856.c  -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops
  gcc.c-torture/execute/scal-to-vec1.c compilation,  -O2
  gcc.c-torture/execute/scal-to-vec1.c compilation,  -O2 -flto
-fno-use-linker-plugin -flto-partition=none
  gcc.c-torture/execute/scal-to-vec1.c compilation,  -O2 -flto
-fuse-linker-plugin -fno-fat-lto-objects

Now all produce ICE in several GCC configurations (mostly when
generating thumb code) eg:
--target arm-none-eabi --with-cpu=cortex-a9 --with-mode=thumb
--target arm-none-linux-gnueabi --with-cpu=cortex-a9 --with-mode=thumb

but it's OK for target arm-none-linux-gnueabihf.

See http://cbuild.validation.linaro.org/build/cross-validation/gcc/209615/report-build-info.html

Christophe.

Thanks for the report - I'll have a look. I've had this in a tree for
testing for sometime that runs these configurations atleast the
bare-metal arm-none-eabi one with multilib testing for thumb.

Uggh I hate it that gmail sometimes cuts off your sentences.
