This implements 2 different vectorisation fallback strategies if tail-folding
fails: 1) don't vectorise at all, or 2) vectorise using a scalar epilogue. This
can be controlled with option -prefer-predicate-over-epilogue, that has been
changed to take a numeric value corresponding to the tail-folding preference
and preferred fallback.

This adapts LV to the new semantics of get.active.lane.mask as discussed in
D86147, which means that the LV now emits intrinsic get.active.lane.mask with
the loop tripcount instead of the backedge-taken count as its second argument.
The motivation for this is described in D86147.

It was getting difficult to see which test was in which file, so this
reorganises the test files so that now all filenames start with tail-folding-*
followed by a more descriptive name what that group of tests check.
This refactors option -disable-mve-tail-predication to take different arguments
so that we have 1 option to control tail-predication rather than several
different ones.
This is also a prep step for D82953, in which we want to reject reductions
unless that is requested with this option.

This adjusts the MVE fp16 cost model, similar to how we already do for
integer casts. It uses the base cost of 1 per cvt for most fp extend /
truncates, but adjusts it for loads and stores where we know that a
extending load has been used to get the load into the correct lane, and
only an MVE VCVTB is then needed.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D81813
This alters getMemoryOpCost to use the Base TargetTransformInfo version
that includes some additional checks for whether extending loads are
legal. This will generally have the effect of making <2 x ..> and some
<4 x ..> loads/stores more expensive, which in turn should help favour
larger vector factors.
Notably it alters the cost of a <4 x half>, which with the current
codegen will be expensive if it is not extended.

This emits new IR intrinsic @llvm.get.active.mask for tail-folded vectorised
loops if the intrinsic is supported by the backend, which is checked by
querying TargetTransform hook emitGetActiveLaneMask.
This intrinsic creates a mask representing active and inactive vector lanes,
which is used by the masked load/store instructions that are created for
tail-folded loops. The semantics of @llvm.get.active.mask are described here in
LangRef:
https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#llvm-get-active-lane-mask-intrinsics
This intrinsic is also used to provide a hint to the backend. That is, the
second argument of the intrinsic represents the back-edge taken count of the
loop. For MVE, for example, we use that to set up tail-predication, which is a
new form of predication in MVE for vector loops that implicitely predicates the
last vector loop iteration by implicitely setting active/inactive lanes, i.e.
the tail loop is predicated. In order to set up a tail-predicated vector loop,
we need to know the number of data elements processed by the vector loop, which
corresponds the the tripcount of the scalar loop, which we can now reconstruct
using @llvm.get.active.mask.

With the extra optimisations we have done, these should now be fine to
enable by default. Which is what this patch does.

Follow-up of cb47b8783: don't query TTI->preferPredicateOverEpilogue when
option -prefer-predicate-over-epilog is set to false, i.e. when we prefer not
to predicate the loop.

This is a follow up of d90804d, to also flag fmcp instructions as instructions
that we do not support in tail-predicated vector loops.

The vectoriser queries TTI->preferPredicateOverEpilogue to determine if
tail-folding is preferred for a loop, but it was not respecting loop hint
'predicate' that can disable this, which has now been added. This showed that
we were incorrectly initialising loop hint 'vectorize.predicate.enable' with 0
(i.e. FK_Disabled) but this should have been FK_Undefined, which has been
fixed.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D70125
This implements TTI hook 'preferPredicateOverEpilogue' for MVE. This is a
first version and it operates on single block loops only. With this change, the
vectoriser will now determine if tail-folding scalar remainder loops is
possible/desired, which is the first step to generate MVE tail-predicated
vector loops.
This is disabled by default for now. I.e,, this is depends on option
-disable-mve-tail-predication, which is off by default.
I will follow up on this soon with a patch for the vectoriser to respect loop
hint 'vectorize.predicate.enable'. I.e., with this loop hint set to Disabled,
we don't want to tail-fold and we shouldn't query this TTI hook, which is
done in D70125.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D69845
We have two ways to steer creating a predicated vector body over creating a
scalar epilogue. To force this, we have 1) a command line option and 2) a
pragma available. This adds a third: a target hook to TargetTransformInfo that
can be queried whether predication is preferred or not, which allows the
vectoriser to make the decision without forcing it.
While this change behaves as a non-functional change for now, it shows the
required TTI plumbing, usage of this new hook in the vectoriser, and the
beginning of an ARM MVE implementation. I will follow up on this with:
- a complete MVE implementation, see D69845.
- a patch to disable this, i.e. we should respect "vector_predicate(disable)"
and its corresponding loophint.
