OK here is the updated patch which also handles unaligned accesses which further improves the benefit: This patch adds legitimize_address_displacement hook so that stack accesses with large offsets are split into a more efficient sequence. Unaligned and TI/TFmode use a 256-byte range, byte and halfword accesses use a 4KB range, wider accesses use a 16KB range to maximise the available addressing range and increase opportunities to share the base address. int f(int x) { int arr[8192]; arr[4096] = 0; arr[6000] = 0; arr[7000] = 0; arr[8191] = 0; return arr[x]; } Now generates: sub sp, sp, #32768 add x1, sp, 16384 str wzr, [x1] str wzr, [x1, 7616] str wzr, [x1, 11616] str wzr, [x1, 16380] ldr w0, [sp, w0, sxtw 2] add sp, sp, 32768 ret instead of: sub sp, sp, #32768 mov x2, 28000 add x1, sp, 16384 mov x3, 32764 str wzr, [x1] mov x1, 24000 add x1, sp, x1 str wzr, [x1] add x1, sp, x2 str wzr, [x1] add x1, sp, x3 str wzr, [x1] ldr w0, [sp, w0, sxtw 2] add sp, sp, 32768 ret Bootstrap, GCC regression OK.
