One important reason to unroll is for small loops, where we need to hide the latency of a fetch redirect (say, three cycles); this is complicated by most insns having a 2 cycle latency (or more for FP and such), and by different SMT modes changing stuff here, oh and different CPUs of course. So it is very important to unroll small loops enough, and it can be beneficial for larger loops too, but it also hurts (in general, and more for bigger loops, or loops with calls, or jumps). It's not a science, more an art. You'll just have to find something that works well in practice.

For early exit, which may cause and *next* unrolled iterations may be
not executed, then unroll may be not benifit.
For too many branches (this patch say 20% of insns), may cause more
branch-misses even for unrolled loop.
>From my intial intuition, I once think each condition may *define* loop
as complex. :-)
But for each single condition, loop unrolling may still be helpful.
While, if these conditions are all occur in a loop, it would be more
possible to get negative impacts after unrolled.
We could continue discuss and tune it, as you pointed out below.

Yes, with PARAM, we can just change param to experiment:
"if (loop->ninsns <= 10) return 0;" (6insn - 10 insn) may just located
n one cache line, it may not need to unroll. But, after some tunning, I
chose 6/4,10/2 here. 4 hardcodes may be too many for PARAM. 2 PARAMs
(one for 6, one for 10) may be ok. Any comments?

It may make sense. There are param_max_unrolled_insns,
param_max_unroll_times, param_max_peel_branches(cunrol)...; we may add
calls number and branches number checking for rtl unroller.
While, actually, here we would need condition to define *complex* loop,
where contains call exist (may just 1), branch exist(may 2) and early
exit(may 1) at the same time, but each number is not large.
Any sugguestions? Thanks.

Don't do initialisation in conditionals please (or in loop conditions),
like Will said already.
This calls only very specific loops "complex". We need a better way
to decide this :-(

This part is fine. It is independent of the rest AFAICS, so if you
agree, this part is preapproved for trunk. Thanks!
(A PARAM would be nice, but too many of those isn't actually useful
either... Next time, add one as soon as writing the code, at least it
is useful at that point in time, when you still need to experiment with
it :-) )

So, we use rs6000_complex_loop_p only to prevent all unrolling, never to
reduce the unrolling, and only in very specific cases.
Is there no middle road possible? Say, don't unroll to more than 25
insns total (which is what the "only small loops" does, sort of -- it
also avoids unrolling 3x a bit, yes), and don't unroll to more than 2
calls, and not to more than 4 branches (I'm making up those numbers, of
course, and PARAMS would be helpful). Some of this already does exist,
and might need retuning for us?

The assignment to call_num within the logic there concerns me. I'd
break that out.
The 5 value is not explicitly mentioned elsewhere. Contextually this
appears to be evaluating the ratio of branches versus instructions
within the loop. Could use some clarity.

indentation fix looks ok.

Still hardcoded values, and may still wish to eventually have this as a
tunable param. Probably OK to drop the 2nd sentence, but first and
last sentences should probably stay.

[PATCH] rs6000: Refine RTL unroll adjust hook
For very small loops (< 6 insns), it would be fine to unroll 4
times to use cache line better. Like below loops:
`while (i) a[--i] = NULL; while (p < e) *d++ = *p++;`
And for very complex loops which may cause negative impacts:
branch-miss or cache-miss. Like below loop: there are calls,
early exits and branches in loop.
```
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
int e = a[I];
if (function_call(e)) break;
}
```
This patch enhances RTL unroll for small loops and prevent to
unroll complex loops.
