Hi, 

The below patch fixes the FFT/Scimark regression caused by useless prefetch
generation.

This fix tries to make prefetch less aggressive by prefetching arrays in the
inner loop, when the step is invariant in the entire loop nest.

GCC currently tries to prefetch invariant steps when they are in the inner
loop. But does not check if the step is variant in outer loops.

In the scimark FFT case, the trip count of the inner loop varies by a non
constant step, which is invariant in the inner loop. 
But the step variable is varying in outer loop. This makes
inner loop trip count small (at run time varies sometimes as small as 1
iteration) 

Prefetching ahead x iteration when the inner loop trip count is smaller than x
leads to useless prefetches. 

Flag used: -O3 -march=amdfam10

This (and the case below) needs to be adjusted to only run on the
appropriate hardware.  See for example gcc.dg/tree-ssa/prefetch-8.c
for how to do this.

No need to repeat this - all references are dumped when we gather them.

Likewise.

Instead of the loop checking expr_invariant_in_loop_p for each sub-loop
you can query expr_invariant_in_loop_p once, for the outermost loop.

Please add a new function to cfgloop.h to access this outermost loop:

/* Returns the outermost loop of the loop nest that contains LOOP.  */

static inline struct loop *
loop_outermost (const struct loop *loop)
{
  unsigned n = VEC_length (loop_p, loop->superloops);

  if (n <= 1)
    return loop;

  return VEC_index (loop_p, loop->superloops, 1);
}

Thanks,
Richard.

No need to repeat this - all references are dumped when we gather them.
(Snip)

The dumping happens at "record_ref" which is called after these statements to record these references.

When the step is invariant  we return from the function without recording the references. 

 so I thought of dumping the references here.

Is there a cleaner way to dump the references at one place?

Regards,
Venkat.

This (and the case below) needs to be adjusted to only run on the appropriate hardware.  See for example gcc.dg/tree-ssa/prefetch-8.c for how to do this.

No need to repeat this - all references are dumped when we gather them.

Likewise.

Instead of the loop checking expr_invariant_in_loop_p for each sub-loop you can query expr_invariant_in_loop_p once, for the outermost loop.

Please add a new function to cfgloop.h to access this outermost loop:

/* Returns the outermost loop of the loop nest that contains LOOP.  */

static inline struct loop *
loop_outermost (const struct loop *loop) {
  unsigned n = VEC_length (loop_p, loop->superloops);

  if (n <= 1)
    return loop;

  return VEC_index (loop_p, loop->superloops, 1); }

Thanks,
Richard.

Yes, call dump_mem_ref then, instead of repeating parts of its body.
