[RISCV][VLS] Support RISCV VLS calling convention (#100346)

This patch adds a function attribute `riscv_vls_cc` for RISCV VLS
calling
convention which takes 0 or 1 argument, the argument is the `ABI_VLEN`
which is the `VLEN` for passing the fixed-vector arguments, it wraps the
argument as a scalable vector(VLA) using the `ABI_VLEN` and uses the
corresponding mechanism to handle it. The range of `ABI_VLEN` is [32,
65536],
if not specified, the default value is 128.

Here is an example of VLS argument passing:
Non-VLS call:
```
  void original_call(__attribute__((vector_size(16))) int arg) {}
=>
  define void @original_call(i128 noundef %arg) {
  entry:
    ...
    ret void
  }
```
VLS call:
```
  void __attribute__((riscv_vls_cc(256))) vls_call(__attribute__((vector_size(16))) int arg) {}
=>
  define riscv_vls_cc void @vls_call(<vscale x 1 x i32> %arg) {
  entry:
    ...
    ret void
  }
}
```

The first Non-VLS call passes generic vector argument of 16 bytes by
flattened integer.
On the contrary, the VLS call uses `ABI_VLEN=256` which wraps the
vector to <vscale x 1 x i32> where the number of scalable vector
elements
is calaulated by: `ORIG_ELTS * RVV_BITS_PER_BLOCK / ABI_VLEN`.
Note: ORIG_ELTS = Vector Size / Type Size = 128 / 32 = 4.

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
