Thanks for the pointers, I verified with the patch,
optab_libfunc (udivmod_optab, DImode) returns NULL for targets that
don't override
libfunc for udivmod_optab like x86_64, and returns correct libfunc for
targets that
override libfunc for udivmod_optab like arm.

The patch would make divmod transform more simpler, since now we require that
the divmod libfunc has a consistent interface identical to arm/c6x convention
(take 2 args and return value <div, mod> pair), so we can get rid of
the target hook
in divmod patch.

However I see one potential issue with SPU port for divmod transform:
So far, it appears the only function that could generate call to __udivmoddi4()
was expand_twoval_binop_libfunc() which was called from expand_divmod().
Maybe that code-path never got triggered for SPU and the issue remained latent.

However with divmod patch, we are introducing another code-path to generate
call to __udivmoddi4(), and since __udivmoddi4() and divmod libfunc conventions
don't agree, this will result in wrong code with the divmod transform on SPU.

We could work around this by SPU port not overriding optab_libfunc for
udivmod_optab,
by removing following lines in spu_init_libfuncs():
set_optab_libfunc (udivmod_optab, DImode, "__udivmoddi4");
set_optab_libfunc (udivmod_optab, TImode, "__udivmodti4");
If that's not desirable, we could disable the divmod transform for spu
for now and revisit the issue later.

The patch passes bootstrap+test on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu,
aarch64-linux-gnu, ppc64le-linux-gnu, and cross tested on arm*-*-*,
aarch64*-*-*.
Would it be OK to commit ?
I am happy to do more testing if required and if something breaks due
to this patch,
I will revert it immediately.

Thanks,
