--- Comment #1 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Most likely: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r239672 | uros | 2016-08-22 12:13:45 -0700 (Mon, 22 Aug 2016) | 6 lines * config/i386/i386.md (*zero_extendsidi2): Add (*r,*k) alternative. (zero_extend<mode>di2): Ditto. (*zero_extend<mode>si2): Ditto. (*zero_extendqihi2): Ditto. Which added k alternatives. (define_register_constraint "k" "TARGET_AVX512F ? MASK_REGS : NO_REGS" "@internal Any mask register.") Oh it looks like these alternatives should be disabled for KNL targets which does not have support for the full AVX512F ISA :).
