Commit Message

Richard Sandiford Nov. 16, 2019, 3:39 p.m. UTC
This patch adds optabs that check whether a read followed by a write
or a write followed by a read can be divided into interleaved byte
accesses without changing the dependencies between the bytes.
This is one of the uses of the SVE2 WHILERW and WHILEWR instructions.
(The instructions can also be used to limit the VF at runtime,
but that's future work.)

This applies on top of:

  https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2019-11/msg00787.html

Tested on aarch64-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu.  OK to install?
