Thanks for you helpful hints ! And I am sorry for such a late reply.
I have figured out this problem yesterday :-).

I use the method you mentioned above to find the problem, the
scheduling code that GCC used is correct, but there are some errors
with the order of my instrumentation INSN list. So...

Previously, I also doubt that it is a latent problem, however, I read
the code you mentioned and find it is correct with pr reg group
save/restore, and finally find it is due to my carelessness in the
instrumentation code; so, sorry for that :-).
