Current trunk assigns one of the normal vector inputs to one of the MMA instructions, which forces us to spill one of the accumulators to memory, leading to poor performance. The solution here is to replace the "wa" constraints for the vector input operands in the MMA instruction patterns with "v,?wa" so that we prefer using the altivec registers vs32-vs63 over the vs0-vs31 registers. 2022-05-17 Peter Bergner <berg...@linux.ibm.com> Segher Boessenkool <seg...@kernel.crashing.org> gcc/ PR target/105556 * config/rs6000/mma.md (mma_<vv>, mma_<avv>, mma_<pv>, mma_<apv>, mma_<vvi4i4i8>, mma_<avvi4i4i8>, mma_<vvi4i4i2>, mma_<avvi4i4i2>, mma_<vvi4i4>, mma_<avvi4i4>, mma_<pvi4i2>, mma_<apvi4i2>, mma_<vvi4i4i4>, mma_<avvi4i4i4>): Replace "wa" constraints with "v,?wa".
