Cullen Rhodes cba4accda0 [LV] Clamp VF hint when unsafe
In the following loop the dependence distance is 2 and can only be
vectorized if the vector length is no larger than this.

  void foo(int *a, int *b, int N) {
    #pragma clang loop vectorize(enable) vectorize_width(4)
    for (int i=0; i<N; ++i) {
      a[i + 2] = a[i] + b[i];
    }
  }

However, when specifying a VF of 4 via a loop hint this loop is
vectorized. According to [1][2], loop hints are ignored if the
optimization is not safe to apply.

This patch introduces a check to bail of vectorization if the user
specified VF is greater than the maximum feasible VF, unless explicitly
forced with '-force-vector-width=X'.

Sjoerd Meijer f44ba25135 ExtractValue instruction costs
Instruction ExtractValue wasn't handled in
LoopVectorizationCostModel::getInstructionCost(). As a result, it was modeled
as a mul which is not really accurate. Since it is free (most of the times),
this now gets a cost of 0 using getInstructionCost.

This is a follow-up of D92208, that required changing this regression test.
In a follow up I will look at InsertValue which also isn't handled yet.

Sjoerd Meijer 5110ff0817 [AArch64][CostModel] Fix cost for mul <2 x i64>
This was modeled to have a cost of 1, but since we do not have a MUL.2d this is
scalarized into vector inserts/extracts and scalar muls.

Motivating precommitted test is test/Transforms/SLPVectorizer/AArch64/mul.ll,
which we don't want to SLP vectorize.

Test Transforms/LoopVectorize/AArch64/extractvalue-no-scalarization-required.ll
unfortunately needed changing, but the reason is documented in
LoopVectorize.cpp:6855:

  // The cost of executing VF copies of the scalar instruction. This opcode
  // is unknown. Assume that it is the same as 'mul'.

which I will address next as a follow up of this.

Joe Ellis 467e5cf40f [SVE][AArch64] Fix TypeSize warning in loop vectorization legality
The warning would fire when calling isDereferenceableAndAlignedInLoop
with a scalable load. Calling isDereferenceableAndAlignedInLoop with a
scalable load would result in the use of the now deprecated implicit
cast of TypeSize to uint64_t through the overloaded operator.

This patch fixes this issue by:

- no longer considering vector loads as candidates in
  canVectorizeWithIfConvert. This doesn't make sense in the context of
  identifying scalar loads to vectorize.

- making use of getFixedSize inside isDereferenceableAndAlignedInLoop --
  this removes the dependency on the deprecated interface, and will
  trigger an assertion error if the function is ever called with a
  scalable type.

Florian Hahn d4ddf63fc4 [SCEV] Use loop guard info when computing the max BE taken count in howFarToZero.
For some expressions, we can use information from loop guards when
we are looking for a maximum. This patch applies information from
loop guards to the expression used to compute the maximum backedge
taken count in howFarToZero. It currently replaces an unknown
expression X with UMin(X, Y), if the loop is guarded by
X ult Y.

This patch is minimal in what conditions it applies, and there
are a few TODOs to generalize.

Sjoerd Meijer 9529597cf4 Recommit #2: "[LV] Induction Variable does not remain scalar under tail-folding."
This was reverted because of a miscompilation. At closer inspection, the
problem was actually visible in a changed llvm regression test too. This
one-line follow up fix/recommit will splat the IV, which is what we are trying
to avoid if unnecessary in general, if tail-folding is requested even if all
users are scalar instructions after vectorisation. Because with tail-folding,
the splat IV will be used by the predicate of the masked loads/stores
instructions. The previous version omitted this, which caused the
miscompilation. The original commit message was:

If tail-folding of the scalar remainder loop is applied, the primary induction
variable is splat to a vector and used by the masked load/store vector
instructions, thus the IV does not remain scalar. Because we now mark
that the IV does not remain scalar for these cases, we don't emit the vector IV
if it is not used. Thus, the vectoriser produces less dead code.

Florian Hahn 39ae86ab72 [AArch64TTI] AArch64 supports NT vector stores through STNP.
This patch adds a custom implementation of isLegalNTStore to AArch64TTI
that supports vector types that can be directly stored by STNP. Note
that the implementation may not catch all valid cases (e.g. because the
vector is a multiple of 256 and could be broken down to multiple valid 256 bit
stores), but it is good enough for LV to vectorize loops with NT stores,
as LV only passes in a vector with 2 elements to check. LV seems to also
be the only user of isLegalNTStore.

We should also do the same for NT loads, but before that we need to
ensure that we properly lower LDNP of vectors, similar to D72919.

Sander de Smalen 51c2fa0e2a Improve reduction intrinsics by overloading result value.
This patch uses the mechanism from D62995 to strengthen the
definitions of the reduction intrinsics by letting the scalar
result/accumulator type be overloaded from the vector element type.

For example:

  ; The LLVM LangRef specifies that the scalar result must equal the
  ; vector element type, but this is not checked/enforced by LLVM.
  declare i32 @llvm.experimental.vector.reduce.or.i32.v4i32(<4 x i32> %a)

This patch changes that into:

  declare i32 @llvm.experimental.vector.reduce.or.v4i32(<4 x i32> %a)

Which has the type-constraint more explicit and causes LLVM to check
the result type with the vector element type.

Adhemerval Zanella cadcfed7aa [AArch64] Add custom lowering for v4i8 trunc store
This patch adds a custom trunc store lowering for v4i8 vector types.
Since there is not v.4b register, the v4i8 is promoted to v4i16 (v.4h)
and default action for v4i8 is to extract each element and issue 4
byte stores.

A better strategy would be to extended the promoted v4i16 to v8i16
(with undef elements) and extract and store the word lane which
represents the v4i8 subvectores. The construction:

  define void @foo(<4 x i16> %x, i8* nocapture %p) {
    %0 = trunc <4 x i16> %x to <4 x i8>
    %1 = bitcast i8* %p to <4 x i8>*
    store <4 x i8> %0, <4 x i8>* %1, align 4, !tbaa !2
    ret void
  }

Can be optimized from:

  umov    w8, v0.h[3]
  umov    w9, v0.h[2]
  umov    w10, v0.h[1]
  umov    w11, v0.h[0]
  strb    w8, [x0, #3]
  strb    w9, [x0, #2]
  strb    w10, [x0, #1]
  strb    w11, [x0]
  ret

To:

  xtn     v0.8b, v0.8h
  str     s0, [x0]
  ret

The patch also adjust the memory cost for autovectorization, so the C
code:

  void foo (const int *src, int width, unsigned char *dst)
  {
    for (int i = 0; i < width; i++)
       *dst++ = *src++;
  }

can be vectorized to:

  .LBB0_4:                                // %vector.body
                                          // =>This Inner Loop Header: Depth=1
        ldr     q0, [x0], #16
        subs    x12, x12, #4            // =4
        xtn     v0.4h, v0.4s
        xtn     v0.8b, v0.8h
        st1     { v0.s }[0], [x2], #4

Ayal Zaks 6627883369 [LV] Using VPlan to model the vectorized code and drive its transformation
VPlan is an ongoing effort to refactor and extend the Loop Vectorizer. This
patch introduces the VPlan model into LV and uses it to represent the vectorized
code and drive the generation of vectorized IR.

In this patch VPlan models the vectorized loop body: the vectorized control-flow
is represented using VPlan's Hierarchical CFG, with predication refactored from
being a post-vectorization-step into a vectorization planning step modeling
if-then VPRegionBlocks, and generating code inline with non-predicated code. The
vectorized code within each VPBasicBlock is represented as a sequence of
Recipes, each responsible for modelling and generating a sequence of IR
instructions. To keep the size of this commit manageable the Recipes in this
patch are coarse-grained and capture large chunks of LV's code-generation logic.
The constructed VPlans are dumped in dot format under -debug.

This commit retains current vectorizer output, except for minor instruction
reorderings; see associated modifications to lit tests.

For further details on the VPlan model see docs/Proposals/VectorizationPlan.rst
and its references.

The regression on 453.povray seems real, but is due to secondary effects as all hot functions are bit-identical with and without the flag.

I started this patch to consult upstream opinions on this. It will be greatly appreciated if the community can help test the performance impact of this change on other architectures so that we can decided if this should be target-dependent.

Dehao Chen 79655792cc Enable vectorizer-maximize-bandwidth by default.
Summary:
vectorizer-maximize-bandwidth is generally useful in terms of performance. I've tested the impact of changing this to default on speccpu benchmarks on sandybridge machines. The result shows non-negative impact:
