[NFCI][CodeGen, AArch64] Fix inconsistent TargetCostKind types.
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

The pass uses different cost kinds to estimate "old" and "interleaved" costs:
default cost kind for all targets override getInterleavedMemoryOpCost() is
TCK_SizeAndLatency. Although at the moment estimated TCK_Latency costs are
equal to TCK_SizeAndLatency, (so the change is NFC) it may change in future.

Looks reasonable in general, thanks!

default cost kind for all targets override getInterleavedMemoryOpCost() is TCK_SizeAndLatency

Interesting, it looks like the top-level define in TTI defaults to TTI::TCK_RecipThroughput, so should this trump the default in the target-specific defines?

Do you think we should stop using default cost kinds entirely?

I think this would be for the best, and I thought I already changed most of the calls to be explicit.

@dfukalov Is this something you'd be willing to do in this patch? At least for getInstructionCost + getInterleavedMemoryOpCost (TTI + Impl)?

I guess suggested changes should be in different patch, I just checked who uses pure latency cost kind our days and found this inconsistency.
Perhaps the fix may be "less invasive" with using TCK_Latency in both places, but they seems equal at the moment and I'm not sure the author meant exactly pure latency here...

LGTM with one (optional) minor

Would it make sense to add a common CostKind variable here and update all the getCost calls to use that? We already do something similar in SLP.

TTI::TargetCostKind CostKind = TTI::TCK_SizeAndLatency;

Good point, thanks!
