Predictors can make predictions about anything.  But given that it is
only useful to make predictions that are actually used, they will only
predict the next few I-cache lines to be fetched, so yes, predicting a
few fetch lines ahead could be common.

How many?  Depends on the latency of the I-cache.  Given that it is
typically similar in size to the D-cache, it's latency will also be
similar, i.e., around 4 cycles.

How many cache lines are fetched per cycle?  With a 10-wide front end,
you probably do not want to underutilize the rest of the front end if
there is a taken branch or there is a branch to a target less than 10
instructions from the end of the cache line, so better fetch two cache
lines per cycle.

So there might be about 8 cache lines fetched between the prediction
of the line that includes the return instructions and the actual fetch
of the return instruction.  The predictor has to predict the target of
the return as the next prediction.

Now if you want to wait for the result of the return-address load, you
have to contend not just with the latency of the I-cache fetch of this
load, but also the decoding, renaming, scheduling, and execution
(D-cache latency) of this load, typically 10-20 cycles total.  So you
would have to fetch this load 10-20 cycles (and thus 10-20 cycles
worth of instructions, i.e. 100-200 instructions on a 10-wide machine)
to have its result ready for using it to fetch the cache line after
the return instruction (but of course that does not consider that in
such a predictorless design, the return instruction also takes its
time to decode etc.).

Anyway, thanks to branch prediction and speculative execution, that's
not necessary.

Concerning the 16 loads, I don't think I have ever seen a compiler
generate that many in front of a return.  It would require that the
calling convention has at least 16 callee-saved registers, and that
they are all being used.

But anyway, even assuming there is this bunch of loads, and the
pipeline from the renamer to the scheduler(s) of the load/store units
is narrow and there is no buffering capacity in between, there is no
reason why the predictor would not predict the return.  It does not
need to decode the return instruction to predict it, it just needs to
predict that there will be a return, and then use the hardware return
stack to make the prediction.

Of course, with a design that suffers from congestion between the
renamer and the schedulers, the congestion will eventually clog the
front end back to the instruction fetcher, and then even having a
preduction early will not help.  If this is a common occurence, the
microarchitecture is obviously badly balanced for the workloads it
uses.

BTW, what is the INSERT point?

Ok, so you are assuming that the congestion has not clogged the
decoder.  In that case, a design with a predictor will happily fetch
the target of the return and feed it into the decoders.

I assume you mean "{new prologue}".

And you assume that the next call also makes use of many callee-saved
registers.

Are the same registers saved to the same places?  If that is a common
occurence (I don't think so), recognizing and optimizing it in
hardware (probably in the renamer) looks doable.

>{For most leaf functions;
>there is only RET with no preserved register restoration and no EXIT}.

If you need so many registers that you also use callee-saved
registers, the callee also saves them when the callee is a leaf
function.  Of course, for values that do not live across a call
(i.e. all values in a leaf function), caller-saved registers are the
first pick.

I would not know why a 10-wide decoder would not decode 10 loads per
cycle.  Likewise for the renamer.  Then the schedulers may be more
limited, but if so, and having loads and stores in large bunches is
common, a competent designer will insert some buffering capacity to
avoid congesting the front end.

You mean, it can resolve the prediction two cycles earlier.  Given
that return stack prediction is very accurate, the benefit might be
that one can use a smaller ROB, if the prediction of return was the
only reason for having a large ROB.  But I think that other reasons
for having a large ROB (such as conditional branches, or cache misses)
stull persist and are actually more important.
