commit r16-4105-gfdc8037a592901a47fee51484a4830643f25aea7 Author: Andrew Stubbs <[email protected]> Date: Wed Sep 24 11:58:23 2025 +0000 amdgcn: Remove vector alignment restrictions The supported misalignment logic seems to be a bit arbitrary. Some of it looks like it was copied from the Arm implementation, although testing shows that the packed accesses do not work (weird subregs happen). AMD GCN does have some alignment restrictions on Buffer instructions, but as we don't use those that's irrelvant. The Flat and Global instructions (that we do use) have no such restrictions. LDS memory -- which can be accessed via Flat instructions -- does have alignment restrictions, but the compiler is not using LDS for arbitrary vectors. If the user deliberately choses to place unaligned data in low-latency memory then a runtime exception should occur (no silent bad behaviour), so there's no reason to pessimise the normal case. gcc/ChangeLog: * config/gcn/gcn.cc (gcn_vectorize_support_vector_misalignment): Allow any alignment, as long as it's not packed.
