[RISCV] Convert AVLs with vlenb to VLMAX where possible (#97800)
Given an AVL that's computed from vlenb, if it's equal to VLMAX then we
can replace it with the VLMAX sentinel value.
The main motiviation is to be able to express an EVL of VLMAX in VP
intrinsics whilst emitting vsetvli a0, zero, so that we can replace
llvm.riscv.masked.strided.{load,store} with their VP counterparts.
This is done in RISCVVectorPeephole (previously RISCVFoldMasks, renamed
to account for the fact that it no longer just folds masks) instead of
SelectionDAG since there are multiple places places where VP nodes are
lowered that would have need to have been handled.
This also avoids doing it in RISCVInsertVSETVLI as it's much harder to
lookup the value of the AVL, and in RISCVVectorPeephole we can take
advantage of DeadMachineInstrElim to remove any leftover
PseudoReadVLENBs.
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.
