[AArch64][SVE] Use FeatureUseFixedOverScalableIfEqualCost for A510 and A520 (#132246)
Inefficient SVE codegen occurs on at least two in-order cores,
those being Cortex-A510 and Cortex-A520. For example a simple vector
add
```
void foo(float a, float b, float dst, unsigned n) {
for (unsigned i = 0; i < n; ++i)
dst[i] = a[i] + b[i];
}
```
Vectorizes the inner loop into the following interleaved sequence
of instructions.
```
add x12, x1, x10
ld1b { z0.b }, p0/z, [x1, x10]
add x13, x2, x10
ld1b { z1.b }, p0/z, [x2, x10]
ldr z2, [x12, #1, mul vl]
ldr z3, [x13, #1, mul vl]
dech x11
add x12, x0, x10
fadd z0.s, z1.s, z0.s
fadd z1.s, z3.s, z2.s
st1b { z0.b }, p0, [x0, x10]
addvl x10, x10, #2
str z1, [x12, #1, mul vl]
```
By adjusting the target features to prefer fixed over scalable if the
cost is equal we get the following vectorized loop.
```
ldp q0, q3, [x11, #-16]
subs x13, x13, #8
ldp q1, q2, [x10, #-16]
add x10, x10, #32
add x11, x11, #32
fadd v0.4s, v1.4s, v0.4s
fadd v1.4s, v2.4s, v3.4s
stp q0, q1, [x12, #-16]
add x12, x12, #32
```
Which is more efficient.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.
