--- Comment #6 from Thomas Koenig <tkoenig at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
The original regression was caused by r12-4526-gd8edfadfc7a979 .
d8edfadfc7a9795b65177a50ce44fd348858e844 is the first bad commit

Disallow loop rotation and loop header crossing in jump threaders.
There is a lot of fall-out from this patch, as there were many threading
tests that assumed the restrictions introduced by this patch were valid.
Some tests have merely shifted the threading to after loop
optimizations, but others ended up with no threading opportunities at
all. Surprisingly some tests ended up with more total threads. It was
a crapshoot all around.
On a postive note, there are 6 tests that no longer XFAIL, and one
guality test which now passes.
I felt a bit queasy about such a fundamental change wrt threading, so I
ran it through my callgrind test harness (.ii files from a bootstrap).
There was no change in overall compilation, DOM, or the VRP threaders.
However, there was a slight increase of 1.63% in the backward threader.
I'm pretty sure we could reduce this if we incorporated the restrictions
into their profitability code. This way we could stop the search when
we ran into one of these restrictions. Not sure it's worth it at this
point.
Tested on x86-64 Linux.
