With many thanks to H.J. for doing all the hard work, this patch resolves
two P1 regressions; PR target/106933 and PR target/106959.

Although superficially similar, the i386 backend's two scalar-to-vector
(STV) passes perform their transformations in importantly different ways.
The original pass converting SImode and DImode operations to V4SImode
or V2DImode operations is "soft", allowing values to be maintained in
both integer and vector hard registers.  The newer pass converting TImode
operations to V1TImode is "hard" (all or nothing) that converts all uses
of a pseudo to vector form.  To implement this it invokes powerful ju-ju
calling SET_MODE on a REG_rtx, which due to RTL sharing, often updates
this pseudo's mode everywhere in the RTL chain.  Hence, TImode STV can only
be performed when all uses of a pseudo are convertible to V1TImode form.
To ensure this the STV passes currently use data-flow analysis to inspect
all DEFs and USEs in a chain.  This works fine for chains that are in
the usual single assignment form, but the occurrence of uninitialized
variables, or multiple assignments that split a pseudo's usage into
several independent chains (lifetimes) can lead to situations where
some but not all of a pseudo's occurrences need to be updated.  This is
safe for the SImode/DImode pass, but leads to the above bugs during
the TImode pass.

My one minor tweak to HJ's patch from comment #4 of bugzilla PR106959
is to only perform the new single_def_chain_p check for TImode STV; it
turns out that STV of SImode/DImode min/max operates safely on multiple-def
chains, and prohibiting this leads to testsuite regressions.  We don't
(yet) support V1TImode min/max, so this idiom isn't an issue during the
TImode STV pass.

For the record, the two alternate possible fixes are (i) make the TImode
STV pass "soft", by eliminating use of SET_MODE, instead using replace_rtx
with a new pseudo, or (ii) merging "chains" so that multiple DFA
chains/lifetimes are considered a single STV chain.

This patch has been tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu with make bootstrap
and make -k check, both with and without --target_board=unix{-m32},
with no new failures.  Ok for mainline?

I assume these two alternatives would result in much more invasive
surgery, so let's consider these "for the future".

OK.

Thanks,

Similar to (ii) one could also as (iii) split non-overlapping def-use
chains to use
different pseudos (run web before stv?)

In general making the pass "soft" sounds like the right thing to do in the end,
if there's cost reasons we want to go all-or-nothing then costing should already
ensure that.

I agree with Uros that the patch as proposed is best at this stage.

Note the single_def_chain_p helper looks like it should be in df*.{cc,h}.
There's the related(?) df_find_single_def_src, so a better name
could be `df_ref df_single_def (rtx)'?  I'll note the function does

      df_ref adef = DF_REG_DEF_CHAIN (REGNO (reg));
      if (adef == NULL || DF_REF_NEXT_REG (adef) != NULL
          || DF_REF_IS_ARTIFICIAL (adef)
          || (DF_REF_FLAGS (adef)
              & (DF_REF_PARTIAL | DF_REF_CONDITIONAL)))
        return NULL_RTX;

in particular it rejects DF_REF_PARTIAL/CONDITIONAL and artificial
defs as "single defs" which your function doesn't.
