Hi Ian,

I am checking in this patch since wrong instruction is generated for
my vzeroupper work.

How is that obvious?  Why does it generate the wrong instruction?

Thanks,

(define_insn "split_stack_return"
  [(unspec_volatile [(match_operand:SI 0 "const_int_operand" "")]
                    UNSPEC_STACK_CHECK)]


vs.

(define_insn "avx_vzeroupper"
  [(unspec_volatile [(match_operand 0 "const_int_operand" "")]
                    UNSPECV_VZEROUPPER)]

I generate avx_zeroupper.  But it matches split_stack_return
since (int) UNSPEC_STACK_CHECK == (int) UNSPECV_VZEROUPPER.

Why are they equal?  That is the bug really.

One is UNSPEC and the other is USPECV. They are different.

Except you just changed that.  Both were unspec_volatile before.  So
why not change the value rather than unspec vs unspec_volatile?

It uses unspec, not unspec_volatile.

But that is clearly incorrect.  This patch is not obvious and is not
approved.  Please do not commit it.

Right: you can't change either the unspec or the unspec_volatile.
Both are correct.

What is incorrect is that I used the same value for both.

First: a process issue: your patch was definitely not obvious.  You
should not have committed it.  You told me that you had found a problem,
and I agreed, but we didn't discuss that patch.  When an incorrect patch
is committed, for whatever reason, the procedure should be to
immediately revert it, and then work out the correct patch.  I will
revert your patch for you if you like.

Second: do you have a test case?  I don't see one in the svn commit.  It
would be much easier for me to write the correct patch if I had a
failing test case, even if only to look at the assembler code.

I found the problem when I am working on my vzeroupper change.
The bad "split_stack_return" pattern makes it impossible for me
to work on vzeroupper since gcc kept generating "ret $2"
for my vzeroupper pattern. The split_stack_return issue wasted
my time and blocked my vzeroupper change, which I want to finish during
gcc summit. That is why I committed my change.

Sorry for the trouble I caused.
