[RISCV][TTI] Properly model odd vector sized LD/ST operations (#100436)

The motivation for this change is the costing of a LD or ST with nearly
power of 2 vectors (e.g. <3 x i32> or <7 x i32>) on V. There's an
experimental option in SLP to allow emitting these if the cost model
says they're profitable. This really helps with e.g. RGB vectors.

Our actual lowering for these depends on whether a wider container type
is known available. If so, we use a vle or vse on the wider type with a
restricted VL. If not, we split until a legal type is found, and then
apply the vle/vse on the sub-pieces.

This change is intentionally restricted to only the case where promotion
(widening w/VL predication) is involved. We appear to have at least one
bug in our splitting lowering (see discussion on review), and to avoid
exposing this more widely, I chose to not adjust costs for the splitting
case. The current splitting costing assumes scalarization (which is not
true of the actual lowering), but that has the effect of biasing
vectorization away from such cases strongly.

For the widening case, the true cost scales with the next largest legal
type. The default implementation assumes that such a type is scalarized.
Changing that brings our cost in line with our actual lowering decision.
Note that since scalarization is not possible for scalable types, the
prior costing falsely returned Invalid for that case.

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
