eSi-RISC has vector permute functionality, but no unaligned loads. We 
see execution failures on gcc.dg/vect/slp-perm-12.c because loop 
versioning is used to make the tptr aligned for the first loop 
iteration, and then with a step of originally 11, 22 after 
vectorization, and a vector alignment of 8 bytes, the second iteration 
causes an AlignmentError exception.
The attached patch to tree-vect-data-refs.c suppresses attempts to align 
data accesses where the
step alignment times the vectorization factor is insufficient to sustain 
the alignment during the loop.
Bootstrapped and regression tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu .

I have also attached a matching testsuite patch to not expect SLP 
vectorization for slp-perm-12 when
no unaligned loads are available, although in terms of testing, I can 
only say that it works for us.

vect_compute_data_ref_alignment uses DR_TARGET_ALIGNMENT
and DR_STEP_ALIGNMENT () % dr_target-alignment == 0 as check.

I think it's preferable to use the same or similar values for the desired
alignment.

Otherwise this looks OK to me.

Richard.

Yeah, I agree testing for a multiple is better than maybe_lt,
and that we should be using DR_TARGET_ALIGNMENT rather than
TYPE_ALIGN_UNIT.

(TYPE_ALIGN_UNIT is the ABI alignment, which might be higher or lower
than the alignment the vectoriser is aiming for.  And I think the
reasons for bailing out apply whenever the vectoriser can't reach
the alignment it's aiming for, even if the alignment isn't needed
for correctness.)

Thanks,
Richard

r267314 seems to have broken build:
../../gcc/tree-vect-data-refs.c: In function ‘opt_result vect_enhance_data_refs_alignment(loop_vec_info)’:
../../gcc/tree-vectorizer.h:1255:40: error: ‘struct data_reference’ has no member named ‘target_alignment’

                                        ^

           DR_TARGET_ALIGNMENT (dr)))
           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The following patch makes it build again, will commit as obvious if it
passes bootstrap/regtest:
