+Increase the branch misprediction scale for znver4/5 tuning from
+COSTS_N_INSNS (2) to COSTS_N_INSNS (2) + 3.
+
+This improves 544.nab_r by 12% (-O3 -march=native -flto) on Znver5
+and 9% on Znver4 with single-copy.
+
+gcc/ChangeLog:
+
+       * config/i386/x86-tune-costs.h (znver4_cost): Increase branch
+       mispredict scale from COSTS_N_INSNS (2) to COSTS_N_INSNS (2) + 3.
+       (znver5_cost): Likewise.

+
+Hi Maintainers,
+
+Bootstrapped and tested on x86_64-linux, Ok for staging?
+
+regards,
+Venkat.
