Luis Machado 005e72b9dd Introduce prefetch-dynamic-strides option.
The following patch adds an option to control software prefetching of memory
references with non-constant/unknown strides.

Currently we prefetch these references if the pass thinks there is benefit to
doing so. But, since this is all based on heuristics, it's not always the case
that we end up with better performance.

For Falkor there is also the problem of conflicts with the hardware prefetcher,
so we need to be more conservative in terms of what we issue software prefetch
hints for.

This also aligns GCC with what LLVM does for Falkor.

Similarly to the previous patch, the defaults guarantee no change in behavior
for other targets and architectures.

README

This directory contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).

The GNU Compiler Collection is free software.  See the files whose
names start with COPYING for copying permission.  The manuals, and
some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the
individual source files for details.

The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information
as HTML and plain text.  The source of this information is
gcc/doc/install.texi.  The installation information includes details
of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs.

See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it
includes) for usage and porting information.  An online readable
version of the manual is in the files gcc/doc/gcc.info*.

See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for how to report bugs usefully.

Copyright years on GCC source files may be listed using range
notation, e.g., 1987-2012, indicating that every year in the range,
inclusive, is a copyrightable year that could otherwise be listed
individually.
