Elena Demikhovsky 21706cbd24 AVX-512 Loop Vectorizer: Cost calculation for interleave load/store patterns.
X86 target does not provide any target specific cost calculation for interleave patterns.It uses the common target-independent calculation, which gives very high numbers. As a result, the scalar version is chosen in many cases. The situation on AVX-512 is even worse, since we have 3-src shuffles that significantly reduce the cost.

In this patch I calculate the cost on AVX-512. It will allow to compare interleave pattern with gather/scatter and choose a better solution (PR31426).

* Shiffle-broadcast cost will be changed in Simon's upcoming patch.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In test/Transforms/LoopStrengthReduce/quadradic-exit-value.ll, the
ScalarEvolution expression for %r is this:

  {1,+,3,+,2}<loop>

Outside the loop, this could be evaluated simply as (%n * %n), however
ScalarEvolution currently evaluates it as

  (-2 + (2 * (trunc i65 (((zext i64 (-2 + %n) to i65) * (zext i64 (-1 + %n) to i65)) /u 2) to i64)) + (3 * %n))

In addition to being much more complicated, it involves i65 arithmetic,
which is very inefficient when expanded into code.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In formatValue in test/CodeGen/X86/lsr-delayed-fold.ll,

ScalarEvolution is forming this expression:

((trunc i64 (-1 * %arg5) to i32) + (trunc i64 %arg5 to i32) + (-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32)))

This could be folded to

(-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32))
