This patch fixes a bug in the RTL doloop pass that showed as timeouts
of gcc.c-torture/execute/961017-1.c execution on slow targets because
a 256-iteration loop was replaced with a 2^32-iteration loop (if the
test did not time out, it would still pass as it didn't contain any
checks on the number of iterations).  The testcases included with the
patch are self-checking testcases that will reliably fail on affected
targets (if the rest of the patch is not applied), aborting if they do
not time out.  Affected targets include sh-linux-gnu and
powerpc-linux-gnu.

The replacement occurs in the RTL doloop pass (loop-doloop.c).  Recall
that RTL CONST_INTs do not have modes.  The number of iterations of
the loop (appropriately defined) is calculated as (const_int -1) -
implicitly QImode.  It might seem appropriate for
loop-iv.c:iv_number_of_iterations, where it does

  if (CONST_INT_P (desc->niter_expr))
    {
      unsigned HOST_WIDEST_INT val = INTVAL (desc->niter_expr);

      desc->const_iter = true;
      desc->niter_max = desc->niter = val & GET_MODE_MASK
      (desc->mode);
    }

to adjust desc->niter_expr using the mask in the same way (i.e.
desc->niter_expr = GEN_INT (desc->niter);).  But that is neither
necessary nor sufficient to fix the bug.  It changes the number of
iterations to the correct (const_int 255).  But whether the number is
given as 255 or -1, doloop_modify is entered with zero_extend_p ==
true and from_mode == QImode.  The code there then determines that it
needs to increment the count - and does so in QImode, which in either
case produces 0, before then zero-extending to SImode.

This code for doing the increment in from_mode comes from the fix for
PR 37451 and the follow-up fix for PR 37782
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-09/msg01070.html>
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-10/msg01321.html>.  As far as
I can tell the idea of those changes - which were an attempt to
improve optimization - is simply broken when the loop might have
maximum length like this (which in the original PR 37451 case it
can't, but telling that in this code would be nontrivial) - including
the case of nonconstant length as well as that of constant length.

So this patch reverts both those previous patches and adds testcases
to demonstrate the problem they caused.  Bootstrapped with no
regressions on powerpc-linux-gnu.  OK to commit?

(If the patch holds up on trunk I'd propose it for 4.6 and 4.5 branches as 
well, as a wrong-code regression fix.)

From my point of view, reverting my patch is fine as the testcase
which I was trying to optimized was not even optimized on the trunk
after this patch anyways.

Thanks,

Sorry for the slow response, still catching up.

Yeah, I agree that's the best way out.

OK for all three unless a release manager objects.

Thus, it's ok.

Thanks,
