@@ -10,28 +10,29 @@ There are several problems with the current GCC:
 
     1)	The prefixed attribute was not checking insns with the type
 	fused_load_cmpi for being load insns.  This meant if the load + compare
-	fusion was not split, it would not know that the load should be
-	prefixed.
+	fusion was not split, the insn size might be off, and the wrong
+	instruction might be generated.
 
-    2)	The recognition of LWA for being prefixed looks at the "sign_extend"
-	attribute and whether the register mode was different than the memory
-	load (i.e. does it have a sign_extend wrapper around the load).
+    2)	The code in prefixed_load_p looks at the "sign_extend" attribute and
+	whether the register mode was different than the memory for SImode loads
+	to detect LWA instructions.
 
     3)	The constraints in fusion.md (generated by genfusion.pl) use "m" for LWA
 	and LD, when they should use "YZ".
 
-    4)	There is a lwa_operand predicate that should be used instead of
-	ds_form_mem_operand for the LWA instruction.
+    4)	The code to determine whether to split the insn if it has a prefixed
+	address was passing in SImode.  For LWA, we need to pass in DImode and
+	not SImode to properly determine if the address is prefixed.
 
-The main fix is to modify genfusion.pl that it sets the appropriate predicates
-and constraints.
+The fix is to modify genfusion.pl that it sets the "YZ" constraint instead of
+"m" for the ld and lwa instructions.
 
-I also added support in genfusion.md so that if we are doing a LWA operation and
-just setting the CC bits (throwing away the result of the load after the
-comparison), it generates a LWZ instruction and does a CMPWI instead of CMPDI.
-This way those loads can use normal D-FORM restrictions instead of DS-form.
+I also set the signed attribute on the HI/SImode loads that do sign extension.
 
-I set the "sign_extend" attribute on the cases that generate LWA.
+I modified the predicate for lwa to use lwa_operand instead of the predicate
+ds_form_mem_operand.  This predicate has direct checks to prevent a prefixed lwa
+from being generated.  I also modified the condition for the insn splitter so
+that it passes DImode for the lwa instructions and not SImode.
 
 I modified the "prefixed" attribute so that it also checks fused_load_cmpi.
