The MVE and LOB extensions of Armv8.1m can be combined to enable 'tail predication' which removes the need for a scalar remainder loop after vectorization. Lane predication is performed implicitly via a system register. The effects of predication is described in Section B5.6.3 of the Armv8.1-m Arch Reference Manual, the key points being: - For vector operations that perform reduction across the vector and produce a scalar result, whether the value is accumulated or not. - For non-load instructions, the predicate flags determine if the destination register byte is updated with the new value or if the previous value is preserved. - For vector store instructions, whether the store occurs or not. - For vector load instructions, whether the value that is loaded or whether zeros are written to that element of the destination register. This patch implements a pass that takes a hardware loop, containing masked vector instructions, and converts it something that resembles an MVE tail predicated loop. Currently, if we had code generation, we'd generate a loop in which the VCTP would generate the predicate and VPST would then setup the value of VPR.PO. The loads and stores would be placed in VPT blocks so this is not tail predication, but normal VPT predication with the predicate based upon a element counting induction variable. Further work needs to be done to finally produce a true tail predicated loop. Because only the loads and stores are predicated, in both the LLVM IR and MIR level, we will restrict support to only lane-wise operations (no horizontal reductions). We will perform a final check on MIR during loop finalisation too. Another restriction, specific to MVE, is that all the vector instructions need operate on the same number of elements. This is because predication is performed at the byte level and this is set on entry to the loop, or by the VCTP instead. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D65884 llvm-svn: 371179
