Hi there,

When compile below case for ARM Thumb-2 target:

long long int
test (unsigned long long int a, unsigned int b)
{
  return (a & 0xFFFFFFFF) * b;
}

I find the GCC function simplify_subreg fails to simplify rtx (subreg:SI
(and:DI (reg/v:DI 115 [ a ]) (const_int 4294967295 [0xffffffff])) 4) to zero
during the fwprop1 pass, considering the fact that the high 32-bit part of
(a & 0xFFFFFFFF) is zero. This leads to some unnecessary multiplications for
high 32-bit part of the result of AND operation. The attached patch is
trying to improve simplify_rtx to handle such case. Other target like x86
seems hasn't such issue because it generates different RTX to handle 64bit
multiplication on a 32bit machine.

Bootstrapped gcc on x86 machine, no problem. Tested with gcc regression test
for x86 and Thumb2, no regression.

Is it OK to stage-1?

BR,
Terry

Sorry for missing the ChangeLog part:

gcc/
2014-03-28  Terry Guo  <terry.guo@arm.com>

        * fwprop.c (simplify_subreg): Handle case that bits are
        cleared by AND operation.

gcc/testsuite/
2014-03-28  Terry Guo  <terry.guo@arm.com>

        * gcc.target/arm/umull.c: New testcase.

See http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-05/msg00073.html for another try,
which led to the simplification in combine.c:combine_simplify_rtx line 5448.

Your variant is both more general, because it isn't restricted to the lowpart, 
and less general, because it is artificially restricted to AND.

Some remarks:
 - this needs to be restricted to non-paradoxical subregs,
 - you need to test HWI_COMPUTABLE_MODE_P (innermode),
 - you need to test !side_effects_p (op).

I think we need to find a common ground between Jakub's patch and yours and 
put a single transformation in simplify_subreg.
