Reapply "[VPlan] Remove legacy costing inside VPBlendRecipe::computeCost (#171846)" (#172261)
This reapplies #171846 with a test case and fix for a legacy cost-model
mismatch assertion.
In the previous version of the patch, we only considered the plan to
contain simplifications when it had a VPBlendRecipe and VF.isScalar()
was true.
However for some VPlans we may have a blend with only the first lane
used:
BLEND ir<%phi> = ir<%foo.res> ir<%bar.res>/ir<%c>
CLONE ir<%gep> = getelementptr ir<%p>, ir<%phi>
vp<%5> = vector-pointer ir<%gep>
And in the legacy cost model we cost a blend as a phi if it's uniform:
// If we know that this instruction will remain uniform, check the cost
of
// the scalar version.
if (isUniformAfterVectorization(I, VF))
VF = ElementCount::getFixed(1);
So this replaces the VF.isScalar() check with
vputils::onlyFirstLaneUsed, which matches how the VPlan cost model
mirrored the legacy model beforehand.
A VPInstruction::Select will also emit a scalar select for a vector VF
if only the first lane is used, so this also updates
VPBlendRecipe::computeCost to reflect that too.
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.
