The names of split_before_sched2 ("split4") and split_before_regstack
("split3") do not reflect their insertion point in the sequence of passes,
where split_before_regstack follows split_before_sched2. Reorder the code
and rename the passes to reflect the reality.

split_before_regstack pass does not need to run if split_before_sched2 pass
was already performed. Introduce enable_split_before_sched2 function to
simplify gating functions of these two passes.

There is no need for a separate rest_of_handle_split_before_sched2.
split_all_insns can be called unconditionally from
pass_split_before_sched2::execute, since the corresponding gating function
determines if the pass is executed or not.

Bootstrapped and regression tested on x86_64-linux-gnu {,-m32}.

2020-02-06  Uroš Bizjak  <ubizjak@gmail.com>

    * recog.c: Move pass_split_before_sched2 code in front of
    pass_split_before_regstack.
    (pass_data_split_before_sched2): Rename pass to split3 from split4.
    (pass_data_split_before_regstack): Rename pass to split4 from split3.
    (rest_of_handle_split_before_sched2): Remove.
    (pass_split_before_sched2::execute): Unconditionally call
    split_all_insns.
    (enable_split_before_sched2): New function.
    (pass_split_before_sched2::gate): Use enable_split_before_sched2.
    (pass_split_before_regstack::gate): Ditto.
    * config/nds32/nds32.c (nds32_split_double_word_load_store_p):
    Update name check for renamed split4 pass.
    * config/sh/sh.c (register_sh_passes): Update pass insertion
    point for renamed split4 pass.

Uros.

Renaming them to other splitN doesn't help much :-/  Having stable names
is more important (some archs actually use these names), I'd say.  But
it's hard to come up with shortish more meaningful names.

There is no real need for the N in splitN to be in order, but sure it
can be surprising otherwise.

flow.c was deleted in 2006...  Is this split still needed at all?  If
so, change the comment please?  :-)

True, this is why I took care to found and fix all references to
existing names. It is a simple substitution of old name with a new.

I'm not familiar with tree passes, how the situation is handled there.
If a new instance of the same pass is inserted before existing pass,
does name of the existing pass get changed?

Hm, I don't know in general, but x86 needs a late split at the point
where instantiated registers won't change in the insn. Mainly an
optimization, not correctness issue, but the split is needed to fix
some HW issues in the processor (please see comments in i386.md around
insn condition involving epilogue_completed flag.

As you suggested in the other mail, the issue with many late split
passes (passes 3-5) should be rewiewed, considering also other (e.g.
non-stack regs) targets.

Uros.

Hi again,

Yeah, and reading the patch is a bit challenging ;-)  If we had real
names here, this would be simpler.  Something for the future.

I don't know either.

Right, but the explanation given in the comment is very out of date.

Yeah.  But that is not a stage 4 thing.  Your patch is safe for stage 4
as far as I can see.
