The patch attempts to optimize a sequence of SIMD loads from the same
base pointer:
%0 = gep float*, float* base, i32 4
%1 = bitcast float* %0 to <4 x float>*
%2 = load <4 x float>, <4 x float>* %1
...
%n1 = gep float*, float* base, i32 N
%n2 = bitcast float* %n1 to <4 x float>*
%n3 = load <4 x float>, <4 x float>* %n2
For AArch64 the compiler generates a sequence of LDR Qt, [Xn, #16].
However, 32-bit NEON VLD1/VST1 lack the [Wn, #imm] addressing mode, so
the address is computed before every ld/st instruction:
add r2, r0, #32
add r0, r0, #16
vld1.32 {d18, d19}, [r2]
vld1.32 {d22, d23}, [r0]
This can be improved by computing address for the first load, and then
using a post-indexed form of VLD1/VST1 to load the rest:
add r0, r0, #16
vld1.32 {d18, d19}, [r0]!
vld1.32 {d22, d23}, [r0]
In order to do that, the patch adds more patterns to DAGCombine:
- (load (add ptr inc1)) and (add ptr inc2) are now folded if inc1
and inc2 are constants.
- (or ptr inc) is now recognized as a pointer increment if ptr is
sufficiently aligned.
In addition to that, we now search for all possible base updates and
then pick the best one.

Summary:
This patch adds some basic operations for fp16
vectors, such as bitcast from fp16 to i16,
required to perform extract_subvector (also added
here) and extract_element.

Summary:
The Procedure Call Standard for the Arm Architecture
states that float16x4_t and float16x8_t behave just
as uint16x4_t and uint16x8_t for argument passing.
This patch adds the fp16 vectors to the
ARMCallingConv.td file.
