I have added a new TTI interface called enableOrderedReductions() that
controls whether or not ordered reductions should be enabled for a
given target. By default this returns false, whereas for AArch64 it
returns true and we rely upon the cost model to make sensible
vectorisation choices. It is still possible to override the new TTI
interface by setting the command line flag:
-force-ordered-reductions=true|false
I have added a new RUN line to show that we use ordered reductions by
default for SVE and Neon:
Transforms/LoopVectorize/AArch64/strict-fadd.ll
Transforms/LoopVectorize/AArch64/scalable-strict-fadd.ll
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D106653
I have added RUN lines to both:
Transforms/LoopVectorize/AArch64/strict-fadd.ll
Transforms/LoopVectorize/AArch64/scalable-strict-fadd.ll
to show the default behaviour is to not vectorise when the following
flag is unset:
-force-ordered-reductions
I'm renaming the flag because a future patch will add a new
enableOrderedReductions() TTI interface and so the meaning of this
flag will change to be one of forcing the target to enable/disable
them. Also, since other places in LoopVectorize.cpp use the word
'Ordered' instead of 'strict' I changed the flag to match.

Currently we will allow loops with a fixed width VF of 1 to vectorize
if the -enable-strict-reductions flag is set. However, the loop vectorizer
will not use ordered reductions if `VF.isScalar()` and the resulting
vectorized loop will be out of order.
This patch removes `VF.isVector()` when checking if ordered reductions
should be used. Also, instead of converting the FAdds to reductions if the
VF = 1, operands of the FAdds are changed such that the order is preserved.

If the `-enable-strict-reductions` flag is set to true, then currently we will
always choose to vectorize the loop with strict in-order reductions. This is
not necessary where we allow the reordering of FP operations, such as
when loop hints are passed via metadata.
This patch moves useOrderedReductions so that we can also check whether
loop hints allow reordering, in which case we should use the default
behaviour of vectorizing with unordered reductions.

When loop hints are passed via metadata, the allowReordering function
in LoopVectorizationLegality will allow the order of floating point
operations to be changed:
bool allowReordering() const {
// When enabling loop hints are provided we allow the vectorizer to change
// the order of operations that is given by the scalar loop. This is not
// enabled by default because can be unsafe or inefficient.
The -enable-strict-reductions flag introduced in D98435 will currently only
vectorize reductions in-loop if hints are used, since canVectorizeFPMath()
will return false if reordering is not allowed.
This patch changes canVectorizeFPMath() to query whether it is safe to
vectorize the loop with ordered reductions if no hints are used. For
testing purposes, an additional flag (-hints-allow-reordering) has been
added to disable the reordering behaviour described above.

An additional RUN line has been added to both strict-fadd.ll &
scalable-strict-fadd.ll to ensure the correct behaviour of these
tests where `-enable-strict-reductions` is false.

When using the -enable-strict-reductions flag where UF>1 we generate multiple
Phi nodes, though only one of these is used as an input to the vector.reduce.fadd
intrinsics. The unused Phi nodes are removed later by instcombine.
This patch changes widenPHIInstruction/fixReduction to only generate
one Phi, and adds an additional test for unrolling to strict-fadd.ll

This also fixes a CHECK line in @fadd_strict_unroll which ensures the
changes made to fixReduction() to support in-order reductions with
unrolling are being tested correctly.
Previously we could only vectorize FP reductions if fast math was enabled, as this allows us to
reorder FP operations. However, it may still be beneficial to vectorize the loop by moving
the reduction inside the vectorized loop and making sure that the scalar reduction value
be an input to the horizontal reduction, e.g:
%phi = phi float [ 0.0, %entry ], [ %reduction, %vector_body ]
%load = load <8 x float>
%reduction = call float @llvm.vector.reduce.fadd.v8f32(float %phi, <8 x float> %load)
This patch adds a new flag (IsOrdered) to RecurrenceDescriptor and makes use of the changes added
by D75069 as much as possible, which already teaches the vectorizer about in-loop reductions.
For now in-order reduction support is off by default and controlled with the `-enable-strict-reductions` flag.
