[RISCV] Improve casting between i1 scalable vectors and i8 fixed vectors for -mrvv-vector-bits (#139190)

For i1 vectors, we used an i8 fixed vector as the storage type.

If the known minimum number of elements of the scalable vector type is
less than 8, we were doing the cast through memory. This used a load or
store from a fixed vector alloca. If  is less than 8, DataLayout
indicates that the load/store reads/writes vscale bytes even if vscale
is known and vscale*X is less than or equal to 8. This means the load or
store is outside the bounds of the fixed size alloca as far as
DataLayout is concerned leading to undefined behavior.

This patch avoids this by widening the i1 scalable vector type with zero
elements until it is divisible by 8. This allows it be bitcasted to/from
an i8 scalable vector. We then insert or extract the i8 fixed vector
into this type.

Hopefully this enables #130973 to be accepted.

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
