In the test below, we cannot cache either [x] or [y] neither before the 
load of flag1 nor the load of flag2.  This is because the corresponding 
store/release can flush a different value of x or y:

+  if (__atomic_load_n (&flag1, __ATOMIC_ACQUIRE))
+    i = x + y;
+
+  if (__atomic_load_n (&flag2, __ATOMIC_ACQUIRE))
+    a = 10;
+  j = x + y;

For example, on x86-64, we are hoisting "x" and "y" before the load of 
flag2:

         movl    flag1(%rip), %eax
         movl    x(%rip), %edx		<-- hoist of X
         testl   %eax, %eax
         movl    y(%rip), %eax		<-- hoist of Y
         je      .L2
         leal    (%edx,%eax), %ecx
         movl    %ecx, i(%rip)
.L2:
         movl    flag2(%rip), %ecx
         testl   %ecx, %ecx
         je      .L3
         movl    $10, a(%rip)
.L3:
         addl    %edx, %eax		<-- x/y may have changed by the
					    acquire of flag2.
         movl    %eax, j(%rip)
         ret

(For that matter, we are also hoisting "x" before the actual test of 
flag1 as well, but I believe this is allowed since flag1 has already 
been loaded.)

The pass at fault here is the combine stack adjustment RTL pass.  I have 
not looked into why this is happening, but I wanted to get this test 
into the branch lest we forget about it.

Is this OK for the branch?  Is my understanding correct?

Hmmm, for this particular case I know CSA is commoning x + y, but what 
if another combination of passes hoists only y and leaves x alone.  It 
would be nice to test that y isn't hoisted independently of x.  Would it 
not, or do you only want to test this particular behavior?

so enter it as 2 testcases, one increasing x and one increasing y, or 
better yet  set it up so that this function is called twice from 
simulate_main, with other_process() increasing x the first time and 
increasing y the second time...  or something like that.
