[LV] Only create partial reductions when profitable. (#181706) We want the LV cost-model to make the best possible decision of VF and whether or not to use partial reductions. At the moment, when the LV can use partial reductions for a given VF range, it assumes those are always preferred. After transforming the plan to use partial reductions, it then chooses the most profitable VF. It is possible for a different VF to have been more profitable, if it wouldn't have chosen to use partial reductions. This PR changes that, to first decide whether partial reductions are more profitable for a given chain. If not, then it won't do the transform. This causes some regressions for AArch64 which are addressed in a follow-up PR to keep this one simple.
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.
