From 5430c86e71927492399129f3df80824c6c334ddf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lulu Cheng Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2023 10:21:58 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] LoongArch: Avoid non-returning indirect jumps through $ra [PR110136] Micro-architecture unconditionally treats a "jr $ra" as "return from subroutine", hence doing "jr $ra" would interfere with both subroutine return prediction and the more general indirect branch prediction. Therefore, a problem like PR110136 can cause a significant increase in branch error prediction rate and affect performance. The same problem exists with "indirect_jump". gcc/ChangeLog: PR target/110136 * config/loongarch/loongarch.md: Modify the register constraints for template "jumptable" and "indirect_jump" from "r" to "e".
