[LoopRotate] Use SCEV exit counts to improve rotation profitability (#187483)

Most loop transformations, like unrolling and vectorization, expect the
latch branch to be countable. Allow rotation, if it turns the latch from
uncountable to countable.

This use SCEV to check for countable exits, if CheckExitCount set.
Currently it is not set for the LPM1 run (where SCEV is not used by
other passes), only in LPM.

With that compile-time impact is mostly neutral

ClamAV is consistently slower (~+0.15%) and 7zip faster in most cases
(~-0.13%)

Across a large test set based on C/C++ workloads, this rotates ~0.8%
more loops with ~2.68M rotated loops.

For the test set, ~2.7% more loops are runtime-unrolled and +6.36% more
early exit loops vectorized on ARM64 macOS.

This fixes a regression where std::ranges::find_last loops stopped
being runtime-unrolled after
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/5f648c370edf5d71c471ffbabdaaa821ad05fb4b
which changed the loop
structure so we stopped rotating.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.

For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.

Getting in touch
