[VPlan] Refactor VPlan creation, add transform introducing region (NFC). (#128419)
Create an empty VPlan first, then let the HCFG builder create a plain
CFG for the top-level loop (w/o a top-level region). The top-level
region is introduced by a separate VPlan-transform. This is instead of
creating the vector loop region before building the VPlan CFG for the
input loop.
This simplifies the HCFG builder (which should probably be renamed) and
moves along the roadmap ('buildLoop') outlined in [1].
As follow-up, I plan to also preserve the exit branches in the initial
VPlan out of the CFG builder, including connections to the exit blocks.
The conversion from plain CFG with potentially multiple exits to a
single entry/exit region will be done as VPlan transform in a follow-up.
This is needed to enable VPlan-based predication. Currently early exit
support relies on building the block-in masks on the original CFG,
because exiting branches and conditions aren't preserved in the VPlan.
So in order to switch to VPlan-based predication, we will have to
preserve them in the initial plain CFG, so the exit conditions are
available explicitly when we convert to single entry/exit regions.
Another follow-up is updating the outer loop handling to also introduce
VPRegionBlocks for nested loops as transform. Currently the existing
logic in the builder will take care of creating VPRegionBlocks for
nested loops, but not the top-level loop.

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.
