Currently, GCC uses generic ARMv7-A tuning for Cortex-A7. This patch adds an initial pipeline description for Cortex-A7. Details: * integer/vfp is based on the pipeline description for Cortex-A5, * models dual issue in limited circumstances using simple_alu_imm and simple_alu_shift type attribute (introduced by a previous patch), * basic neon timings. No regression on qemu for arm-none-eabi target with cpu cortex-a7. Bootstrap successful on Cortex-A15 (gcc configured with cpu cortex-a7). Performance evaluation on Cortex-A7 hardware: Coremark: * No change compared to generic tuning even though the generated assembly is significantly different due to instruction scheduling. * Improvement compared to tuning for Cortex-A5: 4% improvement in arm mode and 9% improvement in thumb mode. CINT2000: * compared to generic tuning, overall improvement of 1.9%. * compared to tuning for Cortex-A5, overall improvement of 1.5%. * in both cases, all benchmarks improved except 254.gap. CFP2000: * compared to generic tuning (which doesn't do much for FP), overall improvement of 5.5%, all benchmarks improved. * compared to Cortex-A5 tuning (as pipeline descriptions are nearly identical) overall no change, but individual benchmarks mixed results. Ok for trunk? Thanks, Greta gcc/ChangeLog 2012-12-20 Greta Yorsh <Greta.Yorsh@arm.com> * config/arm/cortex-a7.md: New file. * config/arm/arm.md: Include cortex-a7.md. (generic_sched): Don't use generic scheduler for Cortex-A7. (generic_vfp): Likewise. * config/arm/t-arm (arm_cpu_table): Likewise. * config/arm/arm.c: (TARGET_SCHED_REORDER): Use arm_sched_reorder. (arm_sched_reorder): New function. (cortexa7_older_only,cortexa7_younger): Likewise.
