*nod*.


It's unclear what the motivation is for backporting this change into
gcc-13.


There's this unexpected fail in gcc-13 (pr90838.c), one out of a handful
that we've hit while transitioning our riscv toolchains to gcc-13.

I set out to understand them, I identified the patches that got them to
pass in the trunk, and so I've proposed their backports to fix the fails
in gcc-13.

Surely there are other ways to address each one of the fails.

But even if we choose to just xfail them, or leave them failing noisily,
I've already gone through the process of identifying the fix, so I
figured I might as well share it.
Thanks for explaining things.  I had a feeling the motivation might be 
something along those lines.


I'd tend to think we don't want this backported.  It doesn't fix any 
correctness issue and the performance impact is small.  I also don't 
expect gcc-13 is going to be of significant long term interest in the 
RISC-V space as it predates any RVV support.


So this feels like it ought to be left as-is on the gcc-13 branch.

We were not able to match the CTZ sign extend pattern on RISC-V
because it gets optimized to zero extend and/or to ANDI patterns.
For the ANDI case, combine scrambles the RTL and generates the
extension by using subregs.

So to provide a few more details here.

Coming into combine we have:

(insn 2 4 3 2 (set (reg/v:DI 136 [ i ])
(reg:DI 10 a0 [ i ])) "j.c":3:1 179 {*movdi_64bit}
 (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:DI 10 a0 [ i ])
(nil)))
(note 3 2 6 2 NOTE_INSN_FUNCTION_BEG)
(insn 6 3 7 2 (set (reg:SI 137)
(ctz:SI (subreg/u:SI (reg/v:DI 136 [ i ]) 0))) "j.c":4:13 345 {*ctzsi2}
 (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg/v:DI 136 [ i ])
(nil)))
(insn 7 6 12 2 (set (reg/v:DI 135 [  ])
(sign_extend:DI (reg:SI 137))) "j.c":4:13 116 {extendsidi2}
 (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:SI 137)
(nil)))



The first key being we're starting with an SImode CTZ.  So we have an 
extension on the result and the original argument is in DImode, so we 
have a subreg to get the input into SImode.  That allows us to match the 
standard ctzw pattern.


Of course we know the result of the ctz is in the range 0..32 because 
it's an SImode operand. Thus the extension is redundant and we'd like to 
remove it.


Even though insn 7 is a SIGN_EXTEND, combine knows the SImode sign bit 
is always zero.  As a result it'll canonicalize to ZERO_EXTEND (there's 
a larger discussion around that in the context of aarch64 that I'm not 
going to wade into at the moment).


So combine ultimately tries to match this:



Trying 6 -> 7:
6: r137:SI=ctz(r139:DI#0)
  REG_DEAD r139:DI
7: r135:DI=sign_extend(r137:SI)
  REG_DEAD r137:SI
Successfully matched this instruction:
(set (reg/v:DI 135 [  ])
(and:DI (subreg:DI (ctz:SI (subreg/u:SI (reg:DI 139) 0)) 0)
(const_int 127 [0x7f])))


The inner subreg is (of course) still there and must remain so that we 
can continue to distinguish between an SI and DI mode ctz which generate 
different assembler codes on riscv.


Combine has turned the zero extension into a masking operation.  Of 
course the masking operation has to happen in DImode hence new  subreg 
wrapping the result of the ctz so that it can be used in a DImode operation.

Looking at this again after a few months away, I'm pretty sure we can 
eliminate that explicit (subreg:SI ...)).  Instead just use 
(match_operand:SI ...) just like the existing pattern already did.


So the pattern just needs the (subreg:DI ...) on the result to allow us 
to mask in DImode...  So something like this:



;; A SImode clz_ctz_pcnt may be extended to DImode via subreg.
(define_insn "*disi2_sext"
  [(set (match_operand:DI 0 "register_operand" "=r")
(and:DI (subreg:DI
  (clz_ctz_pcnt:SI (match_operand:SI 1 "register_operand" "r")) 0)
  (match_operand:DI 2 "const_int_operand")))]
  "TARGET_64BIT && TARGET_ZBB && ((INTVAL (operands[2]) & 0x3f) == 0x3f)"
  "w\t%0,%1"
  [(set_attr "type" "bitmanip")
   (set_attr "mode" "SI")])



I lightly tested this locally and it seems to work just as well as your 
original, but is slightly simpler and avoids the explicit subreg.


OK with that change.
