The scalarization overhead was set deliberately high for MVE, whilst the
codegen was new. It helps protect us against the negative ramifications
of mixing scalar and vector instructions. This decreases that,
especially for floating point where the cost of extracting/inserting
lane elements can be low. For integer the cost is still fairly high due
to the cross-register-bank copy, but is no longer n^2 in the length of
the vector.
In general, this will decrease the cost of scalarizing floats and long
integer vectors. i64 increase in cost, having a high cost before and
after this patch. For floats this allows up to start doing things like
vectorizing fdiv instructions, even if they are scalarized.

This is the cmp/sel sibling to D90692.
Again, the reasoning is: the throughput cost is number of instructions/uops,
so size/blended costs are identical except in special cases (for example,
fdiv or other known-expensive machine instructions or things like MVE that
may require cracking into >1 uops).
We need to check for a valid (non-null) condition type parameter because
SimplifyCFG may pass nullptr for that (and so we will crash multiple
regression tests without that check). I'm not sure if passing nullptr makes
sense, but other code in the cost model does appear to check if that param
is set or not.

Modify the ARM getCmpSelInstrCost implementation for the code size
costs of selects. Now consider the legalization cost and increase
the cost of i1 because those values wouldn't live in a general purpose
register. We also make selects +1 more expensive to account for the IT
instruction.

As with other targets, set the throughput cost of control-flow
instructions to free so that we don't miss out of vectorization
opportunities.

Have BasicTTI call the base implementation so that both agree on the
default behaviour, which the default being a cost of '1'. This has
required an X86 specific implementation as it seems to be very
reliant on those instructions being free. Changes are also made to
AMDGPU so that their implementations distinguish between cost kinds,
so that the unrolling isn't affected. PowerPC also has its own
implementation to prevent changes to the reg-usage vectorizer test.
The cost model test changes now reflect that ret instructions are not
generally free.

The MVE architecture has the idea of "beats", where a vector instruction can be
executed over several ticks of the architecture. This adds a similar system
into the Arm backend cost model, multiplying the cost of all vector
instructions by a factor.
This factor essentially becomes the expected difference between scalar code
and vector code, on average. MVE Vector instructions can also overlap so the a
true cost of them is often lower. But equally scalar instructions can in some
situations be dual issued, or have other optimisations such as unrolling or
make use of dsp instructions. The default is chosen as 2. This should not
prevent vectorisation is a most cases (as the vector instructions will still be
doing at least 4 times the work), but it will help prevent over vectorising in
cases where the benefits are less likely.
This adds things so far to the obvious places in ARMTargetTransformInfo, and
updates a few related costs like not treating float instructions as cost 2 just
because they are floats.

This puts some of the calls in ARMTargetTransformInfo.cpp behind hasNeon()
checks, now that we have MVE, and updates all the tests accordingly.

This adds a number of cost model tests for ARM, useful for MVE. It also re-jigs
some of the existing tests to make them easier to update and read.

The underlying issues surrounding codegen for 32-bit vselects have been resolved. The pessimistic costs for 64-bit vselects remain due to the bad
scalarization that is still happening there.
I tested this on A57 in T32, A32 and A64 modes. I saw no regressions, and some improvements.
From my benchmarks, I saw these improvements in A57 (T32)
spec.cpu2000.ref.177_mesa 5.95%
lnt.SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout/strcat 12.93%
lnt.MultiSource/Benchmarks/MiBench/telecomm-CRC32/telecomm-CRC32 11.89%
I also measured A57 A32, A53 T32 and A9 T32 and found no performance regressions. I see much bigger wins in third-party benchmarks with this change

This patch fixes the multiple breakages on ARM test-suite after the SLP
vectorizer was introduced by default on O3. The problem was an illegal
vector type on ARMTTI::getCmpSelInstrCost() <3 x i1> which is not simple.
The guard protects this code from breaking (cause of the problems) but
doesn't fix the issue that is generating the odd vector in the first
place, which also needs to be investigated.

I was too pessimistic in r177105. Vector selects that fit into a legal register
type lower just fine. I was mislead by the code fragment that I was using. The
stores/loads that I saw in those cases came from lowering the conditional off
an address.
Changing the code fragment to:
%T0_3 = type <8 x i18>
%T1_3 = type <8 x i1>
define void @func_blend3(%T0_3* %loadaddr, %T0_3* %loadaddr2,
%T1_3* %blend, %T0_3* %storeaddr) {
%v0 = load %T0_3* %loadaddr
%v1 = load %T0_3* %loadaddr2
==> FROM:
;%c = load %T1_3* %blend
==> TO:
%c = icmp slt %T0_3 %v0, %v1
==> USE:
%r = select %T1_3 %c, %T0_3 %v0, %T0_3 %v1
store %T0_3 %r, %T0_3* %storeaddr
ret void
}
revealed this mistake.

By terrible I mean we store/load from the stack.
This matters on PAQp8 in _Z5trainPsS_ii (which is inlined into Mixer::update)
where we decide to vectorize a loop with a VF of 8 resulting in a 25%
degradation on a cortex-a8.
LV: Found an estimated cost of 2 for VF 8 For instruction: icmp slt i32
LV: Found an estimated cost of 2 for VF 8 For instruction: select i1, i32, i32
The bug that tracks the CodeGen part is PR14868.
