[CostModel][AArch64] Make extractelement, with fmul user, free whenev… (#111479)
…er possible
In case of Neon, if there exists extractelement from lane != 0 such that
1. extractelement does not necessitate a move from vector_reg -> GPR
2. extractelement result feeds into fmul
3. Other operand of fmul is a scalar or extractelement from lane 0 or
lane equivalent to 0
then the extractelement can be merged with fmul in the backend and it
incurs no cost.
e.g.
```
define double @foo(<2 x double> %a) {
%1 = extractelement <2 x double> %a, i32 0
%2 = extractelement <2 x double> %a, i32 1
%res = fmul double %1, %2
ret double %res
}
```
`%2` and `%res` can be merged in the backend to generate:
`fmul d0, d0, v0.d[1]`
The change was tested with SPEC FP(C/C++) on Neoverse-v2.
**Compile time impact**: None
**Performance impact**: Observing 1.3-1.7% uplift on lbm benchmark with -flto depending upon the config.
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.
For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.

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