[LoopUnroll] Introduce parallel reduction phis when unrolling. (#149470) When partially or runtime unrolling loops with reductions, currently the reductions are performed in-order in the loop, negating most benefits from unrolling such loops. This patch extends unrolling code-gen to keep a parallel reduction phi per unrolled iteration and combining the final result after the loop. For out-of-order CPUs, this allows executing mutliple reduction chains in parallel. For now, the initial transformation is restricted to cases where we unroll a small number of iterations (hard-coded to 4, but should maybe be capped by TTI depending on the execution units), to avoid introducing an excessive amount of parallel phis. It also requires single block loops for now, where the unrolled iterations are known to not exit the loop (either due to runtime unrolling or partial unrolling). This ensures that the unrolled loop will have a single basic block, with a single exit block where we can place the final reduction value computation. The initial implementation also only supports parallelizing loops with a single reduction and only integer reductions. Those restrictions are just to keep the initial implementation simpler, and can easily be lifted as follow-ups. With corresponding TTI to the AArch64 unrolling preferences which I will also share soon, this triggers in ~300 loops across a wide range of workloads, including LLVM itself, ffmgep, av1aom, sqlite, blender, brotli, zstd and more.

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

The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
