It's fallback uses BRANCH_COST (see fold-const.c > and tree-ssa-ifcombine.c) This didn't drastically change the results for the workloads I was using as benchmarks. I'd still pick {1, 3} out as the winner.

Hi, With all the work that has recently gone in to ifcvt, I thought I'd revisit the branch cost settings for Cortex-A57. After a run of experiments [1], I found {1, 3} to be the sweet spot, giving a small set of performance improvements across some popular benchmarks. I'd therefore like to propose changing the branch cost to those numbers. Patch bootstrapped tuning for Cortex-A57 with no issues. I'll revisit the same for Cortex-A53. OK?
