[AArch64][SVE] Fold ADD+CNTB to INCB/DECB (#118280)
Currently, given:
```cpp
uint64_t incb(uint64_t x) {
return x+svcntb();
}
```
LLVM generates:
```gas
incb:
addvl x0, x0, #1
ret
```
Which is equivalent to:
```gas
incb:
incb x0
ret
```
However, on microarchitectures like the Neoverse V2 and Neoverse V3,
the second form (with INCB) can have significantly better latency and
throughput (according to their SWOG). On the Neoverse V2, for example,
ADDVL has a latency and throughput of 2, whereas some forms of INCB
have a latency of 1 and a throughput of 4. The same applies to DECB.
This patch adds patterns to prefer the cheaper INCB/DECB forms over
ADDVL where applicable.
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.
