[LV] Count cost of middle block if TC <= VF. (#168949)

If the expected trip count is less than the VF, the vector loop will
only execute a single iteration. When that's the case, the cost of the
middle block has the same impact as the cost of the vector loop. Include
it in isOutsideLoopWorkProfitable to avoid vectorizing when the extra
work in the middle block makes it unprofitable.

Note that isOutsideLoopWorkProfitable already scales the cost of blocks
outside the vector region, but the patch restricts accounting for the
middle block to cases where VF <= ExpectedTC, to initially catch some
worst cases and avoid regressions.

This initial version should specifically avoid unprofitable tail-folding
for loops with low trip counts after re-applying

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
