This is my proposed fix to PR middle-end/87256 where synth_mult takes an
unreasonable amount of CPU time determining an optimal sequence of
instructions to perform multiplications by (large) integer constants on
hppa.
One workaround, proposed in bugzilla, is to increase the hash table used
to cache/reuse intermediate results. This helps but is a workaround for
the (more subtle) underlying problem.

The real issue is that the hppa_rtx_costs function is providing wildly
inaccurate values (estimates) to the middle-end.  For example, (p*q)+(r*s)
would appear to be cheaper than a single multiplication.  Another
example is that "(ashiftrt:di regA regB)" is claimed to be only
COST_N_INSNS(1) when in fact the hppa backend actually generates:

ashrdi: ldi 32,%r28
        and %r24,%r28,%r28
        comib,= 0,%r28,.L6
        mtsar %r24
        subi 31,%r24,%r24
        extrs %r25,0,1,%r28
        mtsar %r24
        bv %r0(%r2)
        vextrs %r25,32,%r29
.L6:    uaddcm %r0,%r24,%r28
        vshd %r0,%r26,%r29
        subi 31,%r28,%r28
        mtsar %r28
        zdep %r25,30,31,%r19
        subi 31,%r24,%r24
        zvdep %r19,32,%r19
        mtsar %r24
        or %r19,%r29,%r29
        bv %r0(%r2)
        vextrs %r25,32,%r28

which is slightly more than a single instruction.

It turns out that simply tightening up the logic in hppa_rtx_costs to
return more reasonable values, dramatically reduces the number of recursive
invocations in synth_mult for the test case in PR87256, and presumably
also produces faster code (that should be observable in benchmarks).

Unfortunately, once again this has only be tested via cross-compilers
to hppa-unknown-linux-gnu and hppa64-unknown-linux-gnu hosted on
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, but I can confirm cross-compilation is much faster.
Many thanks in advance to anyone who can bootstrap and regression test
this on real hardware.  In an ideal world, changes to rtx_costs should
be pretty safe, this function can't introduce any bugs, only expose those
are already present (but possibly latent) elsewhere in the compiler.  Ha.

This change is also fine.

The gcc.target/hppa/shadd-2.c test now fails because there are two additional sh1add instructions.
However, the total number of instructions is the same as before.

I confirmed that change fixes PR middle-end/87256.  So, we can close this PR when the patch is installed.

Please install on trunk and gcc-10.  gcc-10 is the default compiler on Debian.

Thanks,
Dave

Just to be on the safe side, I took a deeper look into this.
We're now generating a slightly different sequence for multiply by 87.

Before:
        zdep %r28,28,29,%r20            ; r20 = r28*8
        ldo RR'default_target_regs-$global$(%r1),%r19
        sub %r20,%r28,%r20              ; r20 = r28*7
        sh2addl %r20,%r28,%r20          ; r20 = r28*29
        sh2addl %r20,%r19,%r19          ; r20 = addr+r28*116
        sub %r19,%r20,%r19              ; r20 = addr+r28*87

After:
        sh2addl %r28,%r28,%r19          ; r19 = r28*5
        ldo RR'default_target_regs-$global$(%r1),%r1
        sh2addl %r19,%r28,%r19          ; r19 = r28*21
        sh1addl %r19,%r28,%r19          ; r19 = r28*43
        sh1addl %r19,%r28,%r19          ; r19 = r28*87
        addl %r1,%r19,%r1               ; r1 = addr+r28*87

As you point out, both sequences have exactly the same length and rtx_costs.
I suspect the middle-end has a minor preference for simple shifts and adds.
If shadd-2.c is there to check we make use of sh?add instructions, then
we're
making even more use of them now.

I agree it's reasonable to increase the scan-assembler-times count for this
test.

Cheers,
Roger

Yes, those tests were there to catch failure to create shadd insns after some
changes in the combiner.  If we're generating more, then that's good enough for
those tests :-)
