Hi,

Attached are the patches we propose to backport to gcc 4.6 branch which are related to avx256 unaligned load/store splitting.
As we mentioned before,  The combined effect of these patches are positive on both AMD and Intel CPUs on cpu2006 and
polyhedron 2005.

0001-Split-32-byte-AVX-unaligned-load-store.patch
Initial patch that implements unaligned load/store splitting

0001-Don-t-assert-unaligned-256bit-load-store.patch
Remove the assert.

0001-Fix-a-typo-in-mavx256-split-unaligned-store.patch
Fix a typo.

0002-pr49089-enable-avx256-splitting-unaligned-load-store.patch
Disable unaligned load splitting for bdver1.

All these patches are in 4.7 trunk.

Bootstrap and tests are on-going in gcc 4.6 branch.

Is It OK to commit to 4.6 branch as long as the tests pass?

Thanks,

Changpeng

Yes, if they have been approved and checked in for trunk.

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] pr49089: enable avx256 splitting unaligned load/store only when beneficial

	* config/i386/i386.c (avx256_split_unaligned_load): New definition.
	  (avx256_split_unaligned_store): New definition.
	  (ix86_option_override_internal): Enable avx256 unaligned load(store)
	  splitting only when avx256_split_unaligned_load(store) is set.
