[PATCH] fwprop merge (stage2 project), 1/2: add new stuff


This patch adds a new RTL-based forward propagation pass. Together with a second GCSE pass (needed because GCSE is not a cascading optimization), it subsumes the effect of CSE path following, as well as of CSE's memory address selection passes and of some parts of fold_rtx.

I measured no effect on SPECcpu2000 on i686-pc-linux-gnu; last time David Edelsohn ran it on powerpc, there was a drop in bzip2, but it should be cured by the GCSE improvements I submitted at the beginning of stage1. Steven Bosscher reported "good" results on Nullstone (it's not allowed to disclose the results) which tests many small optimizations that stressed CSE quite well: PR23911 was found by Steven using Nullstone on a fwprop-patched gcc, and the idea of scheduling two fwprop passes also fixed some nullstone failures.

We also found that sometimes CSE was undoing the effects of compress_float_constant, while fwprop does not do so. This caused testsuite failures on i686, but they have been already accounted for (see the patch at http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-01/msg01824.html).

It includes also a bug fix to df-core.c, where df_bb_regno_last_use_find is not handling insns without any dataflow information attached, unlike other df_bb_regno_*_find.

This patch also disables CSE path following; really removing it will happen later. The second patch in the series removes the now-useless parts of CSE.

Bootstrapped (with a reduction of ~3%) and regtested together with the other patch, on i686-pc-linux-gnu. This part alone has been in dataflow-branch for a while, so it's been tested on a few other platforms there, I guess. Ok for mainline?

+/* This pass does simple forward propagation and simplification when an
+   operand of an insn can only come from a single def.  This pass uses
+   df.c, so it is global.  However, we only do limited analysis of
+   available expressions.
+
+   1) The pass tries to propagate the source of the def into the use,
+   and checks if the result is independent of the substituted value.
+   For example, the high word of a (zero_extend:DI (reg:SI M)) is always
+   zero, independent of the source register.
+
+   In particular, we propagate constants into the use site.  Sometimes
+   RTL expansion did not put the constant in the same insn on purpose,
+   to satisfy a predicate, and the result will fail to be recognized;
+   but this happens rarely and in this case we can still create a
+   REG_EQUAL note.  For multi-word operations, this
+
+      (set (subreg:SI (reg:DI 120) 0) (const_int 0))
+      (set (subreg:SI (reg:DI 120) 4) (const_int -1))
+      (set (subreg:SI (reg:DI 122) 0)
+         (ior:SI (subreg:SI (reg:DI 119) 0) (subreg:SI (reg:DI 120) 0)))
+      (set (subreg:SI (reg:DI 122) 4)
+         (ior:SI (subreg:SI (reg:DI 119) 4) (subreg:SI (reg:DI 120) 4)))
+
+   can be simplified to the much simpler
+
+      (set (subreg:SI (reg:DI 122) 0) (subreg:SI (reg:DI 119)))
+      (set (subreg:SI (reg:DI 122) 4) (const_int -1))
+
+   This particular propagation is also effective at putting together
+   complex addressing modes.  We are more aggressive inside MEMs, in
+   that all definitions are propagated if the use is in a MEM; if the
+   result is a valid memory address we check address_cost to decide
+   whether the substitution is worthwhile.
+
+   2) The pass propagates register copies.  This is not as effective as
+   the copy propagation done by CSE's canon_reg, which works by walking
+   the instruction chain, it can help the other transformations.
+
+   We should consider removing this optimization, and instead reorder the
+   RTL passes, because GCSE does this transformation too.  With some luck,
+   the CSE pass at the end of rest_of_handle_gcse could also go away.
+
+   3) The pass looks for paradoxical subregs that are actually unnecessary.
+   Things like this:
+
+     (set (reg:QI 120) (subreg:QI (reg:SI 118) 0))
+     (set (reg:QI 121) (subreg:QI (reg:SI 119) 0))
+     (set (reg:SI 122) (plus:SI (subreg:SI (reg:QI 120) 0)
+                                (subreg:SI (reg:QI 121) 0)))
+
+   are very common on machines that can only do word-sized operations.
+   For each use of a paradoxical subreg (subreg:WIDER (reg:NARROW N) 0),
+   if it has a single def and it is (subreg:NARROW (reg:WIDE M) 0),
+   we can replace the paradoxical subreg with simply (reg:WIDE M).  The
+   above will simplify this to
+
+     (set (reg:QI 120) (subreg:QI (reg:SI 118) 0))
+     (set (reg:QI 121) (subreg:QI (reg:SI 119) 0))
+     (set (reg:SI 122) (plus:SI (reg:SI 118) (reg:SI 119)))
