Dissolving the hierarchical VPlan CFG and converting abstract to
concrete recipes can expose additional simplification opportunities.
Do a final run of simplifyRecipes before executing the VPlan.
Update isConditionTrueViaVFAndUF to use the vector trip count if
computable. This is the case when it has been materialized to a
constant. Otherwise fall back to the trip count.

VPVectorPointer for part 0 is just the pointer operand. Simplify it
after unrolling. This removes a large number of redundant GEPs with
index 0.

This patch adds a new ExtractLane VPInstruction which extracts across
multiple parts using a wide index, to be used in combination with
FirstActiveLane.
The patch updates early-exit codegen to use it instead ExtractElement,
which is only per-part. With this change, interleaving should work
correctly with early-exit loops.
The patch removes the restrictions added in 6f43754e9 (#145877), but
does not yet automatically select interleave counts > 1 for early-exit
loops.
I'll share a patch as follow-up. The cost of extracting a lane adds
non-trivial overhead in the exit block, so that should be considered
when picking the interleave count.

Materialize constant vector trip counts before ::execute, if the trip
count can be computed as Original (TC / (VF * UF)) * (VF * UF). For now
this excludes when the tail is folded or scalar epilogues are required.
This enables removing a number of redundant branches from the middle
block.
For now this is also only done when not vectorizing the epilogue, as the
simplification complicates stitching the 2 plans together.

Interleaving does not currently work properly when vectorising loops
with uncountable early exits. Interleaving is already disabled for
normal vectorisation and for the pragma/hint - this patch also disables
it when using -force-vector-interleave.
Until now the feature to enable vectorisation of some early exit
loops with uncountable exits was controlled under a flag, off by
default. Now that we have efficient code generation for
vectorising such loops (see PR #130766) and we still have some
time from the next LLVM release it seems like a good time point
to enable the feature by default. If any issues arise post-commit
it can be easily reverted.
Using this patch I built and ran the LLVM test suite successfully,
which on neoverse-v1 led to the vectorisation of 114 additional
early exit loops. I also built and ran SPEC2017 successfully for
both neoverse-v1 and neoverse-v2.
Currently FirstActiveLane is not handled correctly during
unrolling. This is currently causing mis-compiles when
vectorizing early-exit loops with interleaving forced.
This patch updates handling of FirstActiveLane to be analogous to
computing final reduction results: during unrolling, the created copies
for its original operand are added as additional operands, and
FirstActiveLane will always produce the index of the first active lane
across all unrolled iterations.
Note that some of the generated code is still incorrect, as we also need
to handle ExtractElement with FirstActiveLane operands. I will share
patches for those soon as well.

Currently AnyOf is not handled correctly during unrolling. This is
currently causing mis-compiles when vectorizing early-exit loops with
interleaving forced (even though selectInterleaveCount will currently
only pick IC = 1, unless forced by the user).
This patch updates handling of AnyOf to be analogous to computing final
reduction results: during unrolling, the created copies for its original
operand are added as additional operands, and AnyOf will always produce
the reduced value across all unrolled iterations.
Note that the generated code is still incorrect, as we also need to
handle FirstActiveLane and ExtractElement with FirstActiveLane operands.
I will share patches for those soon as well.

For more powerful folding with operands that are not necessarily
all-constant, use InstSimplifyFolder instead of TargetFolder in
tryToConstantFold, and rename the function tryToFoldLiveIns.
Follow-up to dfca6c0d3bf9d1a056 to extend isUnrolled handle any unrolled
VPlan, which means there's a single UF, but it will be > 1 if unrolling
took place.
This is the second of two PRs that attempts to improve the IR
generated in the exit blocks of vectorised loops with uncountable
early exits. It follows on from PR #128880. In this PR I am
improving the generated code for users of induction variables in
early exit blocks.
This required using a newly add VPInstruction called
FirstActiveLane, which calculates the index of the first active
predicate in the mask operand.
I have added a new function optimizeEarlyExitInductionUser that
is called from optimizeInductionExitUsers when handling users in
early exit blocks.
After unrolling, there may be additional simplifications that can be
applied. One example is removing SCALAR-STEPS for the first part where
only the first lane is demanded.
This removes redundant adds of 0 from a large number of tests (~200),
many which I am still working on updating.
