Hi,
Currently IVOPTs shares the same register pressure computation with RTL loop invariant pass,
which doesn't work very well.  This patch introduces specific interface for IVOPTs.
The general idea is described in the cover message as below:
  C) Current implementation shares the same register pressure computation with RTL loop
     inv pass.  It has difficulty in handling (especially large) loop nest, and quite
     often generating too many candidates (especially for outer loops).  This change
     introduces new register pressure computation.  The brief idea is to differentiate
     (hot) innermost loop and outer loop.  for (possibly hot) inner most, more registers
     are allowed as long as the register pressure is within the range of number of target
     available registers.
It can also help to restrict number of candidates for outer loop.
Is it OK?

Thanks,
bin

+/* Determine if current loop is the innermost loop and maybe hot.  */

+static void
+determine_hot_innermost_loop (struct ivopts_data *data)
+{

err, so when not optimizing for speed we assume all loops (even not innermost)
are hot and innermost?!

+  HOST_WIDE_INT niter = avg_loop_niter (loop);
+  if (niter < PARAM_VALUE (PARAM_AVG_LOOP_NITER)
+      || loop_constraint_set_p (loop, LOOP_C_PROLOG)
+      || loop_constraint_set_p (loop, LOOP_C_EPILOG)
+      || loop_constraint_set_p (loop, LOOP_C_VERSION))
+    data->hot_innermost_loop_p = false;

this needs adjustment for the constraint patch removal.  Also looking at niter
of the loop in question insn't a good metric for hotness.  data->speed is the
best guess you get I think (optimize_loop_for_speed_p).

   data->speed = optimize_loop_for_speed_p (loop);
+  determine_hot_innermost_loop (data);

  data->hot_innermost_loop_p = determine_hot_innermost_loop (data);

would be more consistent here.

Thanks,
Richard.

Yes, I also found this is inefficient finding the targeting loops.  I
will update and benchmark new patch discarding all *hot innermost*
part.  It can always be improved in future.
