Is it ok to backport patches, with Changelogs below, already in trunk to gcc 4.6? These patches are for AVX-256bit load store splitting. These patches make significant performance difference >=3% to several CPU2006 and Polyhedron benchmarks on latest AMD and Intel hardware. If ok, I will post backported patches for commit approval.
AMD plans to submit additional patches on AVX-256 load/store splitting to trunk. We will send additional backport requests for those later once they are accepted/comitted to trunk. [PATCH] Split 32-byte AVX unaligned load/store. gcc/ 2011-03-27 H.J. Lu <hongjiu...@intel.com> * config/i386/i386.c (flag_opts): Add -mavx256-split-unaligned-load and -mavx256-split-unaligned-store. (ix86_option_override_internal): Split 32-byte AVX unaligned load/store by default. (ix86_avx256_split_vector_move_misalign): New. (ix86_expand_vector_move_misalign): Use it. * config/i386/i386.opt: Add -mavx256-split-unaligned-load and -mavx256-split-unaligned-store. * config/i386/sse.md (*avx_mov<mode>_internal): Verify unaligned 256bit load/store.
