Today I committed a patch

https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2018-11/msg01945.html

   But it makes gcc.target/powerpc/pr70669.c to fail.  Here is the patch 
to fix the failure.  The expected code assumes that variable r should 
get a general reg.  I suspect the expectation is wrong. There are three 
possible choices for r: a general reg, a vsx reg, and memory.

   The cost of move of vsx to/from mem is 4, the cost of move of general 
reg of this mode to/from mem is 8, and the cost of move of general reg 
to/from vsx is 12.

   So approximately if r is assigned memory we have cost 8 * 2 (asm) + 4 
* 2 (plus) = 24 (when we use memory at *q), if r is assigned to vsx the 
cost is 12*2(asm) + 4(r=*q) = 28, and if r is assigned a general reg the 
cost is 12 * 2 (plus) + 8 (r = *q) = 32.

   ira-costs should choose mem although it chose a general reg before my 
patch (it is a big topic why it chose a general reg. In brief, it is 
because some inherent drawbacks of the current cost calculation 
algorithm). The patch I recently submitted solves some drawbacks and 
memory is chosen for r.

  To generate the expected code with r in a general reg, I just decrease 
the number of getting r value into vsx reg by changing r + r onto -r.

Is the following patch ok for trunk?

That sounds all correct.  Thanks for fixing this!

Yes, the test now again tests what it is meant to test (that you get
m[tf]vsrd from reloads).  It's fine for trunk, thanks!
