/*  Delayed Branch Scheduling Optimization

If the HAVE_DELAYED_BRANCH macro is defined in the machine 
description, this code is called by toplev.c during optimizing 
compilation immediately after the final jump optimization pass
and just before assembler output generation, if delayed branch
scheduling is requested with the -fdelayed-branch switch.

Machines with delayed branch allow one or more instructions
placed *after* a branch instruction to be executed while the
hardware is off fetching the next instruction.  These instructions
are executed after the branch is issued, but before the branch 
actually takes effect.  The decision as to whether or not
the branch is to be taken, and the address of the branch target
are fixed at the time the branch is issued, so only instructions
that do not appear in the dependency graphs for computing the 
branch decision and/or target address may be relocated "after" 
the branch.  Some machines might have additional restrictions,
such as not allowing memory instructions or condition code
modification in the delay sequence.

Note that this scheduling pass occurs after register allocation, and
(of course) final jump optimization.  This mechanism is *not* intended
to be hacked to deal with similar memory-latency pipeline scheduling
(i.e. slots after loads/stores), as tempting as that might be.  The
right place to do load-store latency scheduling is prior to register
allocation, since allocation may introduce artificial dependencies
that could have been avoided; note that these artificial dependencies
are *not* reflected in the flow information, which is one reason for
the somewhat ad hoc analysis done in this pass. 

The strategy and methods used are as follows.  The function DBR_SCHEDULE
is called from toplev.c if the scheduling pass is to be run.  That function
sets up the dump file, then scans the current function from top to bottom
for "d-blocks", which are like basic blocks (single-entry, single-exit),
with the additional condition that the last instruction in the block has
delay slots.  Note that if calls have slots, d-blocks can be smaller than
basic blocks.  If a basic block does not end with a delay-instruction,
it is skipped.

To re-order instructions in a d-block (see DBR_DBLOCK_SCHED), the scheduler
scans backward from the "d-instruction", trying to fill the slots.  The
scheduler is somewhat conservative.  Volatile memory references are
serialized (their order is never changed to avoid possible aliasing
problems).  Definitions of registers are serialized (so there is no
possibility of deadlock).  Since hard register dependencies are
not noted by flow analysis, the scheduler does its own simplified
tracking of the registers, memory, and condition code uses/defines
by the d-instruction and the instructions it depends on).  Information
available from flow analysis is used to shortcut the analysis where
possible.  

Since only data dependencies are considered by the scheduler, any
machine-specific restrictions, e.g. to keep memory instructions from
being scheduled into slots, must be explicit in the definition of
DBR_INSN_ELIGIBLE_P.

The scheduler scans backwards over the block, looking for eligible
insns to fill the slot(s).  If none are found, nothing is done, and no
changes are made to the code.  As eligible insns are found, they are
removed from the chain, and recorded in an INSN_LIST rtx.  When all
slots are full (or the top of the d-block is reached), the *pattern*
of the d-insn is replaced with a SEQUENCE rtx, which consists of
a copy of the original d-insn followed by the slot fillers.  Slot
filling instructions remain in the original relative order in the
sequence.

When the SEQUENCE pattern is encountered by final, the instructions
are output "normally", though the output code for the instructions
may test for this and alter their behavior appropriately.
