[ARM][MVE] Tail-predication: remove the BTC + 1 overflow checks
ClosedPublic

Summary

Adapt tail-predication to the new semantics of get.active.lane.mask as proposed in D86147. This means that:

  • we can remove BTC + 1 overflow checks because now the loop tripcount is passed in to the intrinsic,
  • we can immediately use that value to setup a counter for the number of elements processed by the loop and don't need to materialize BTC + 1.

Now with all tests fixed.

This looks much more simple :)

nit: maybe something more descriptive that highlights that this is the original scalar trip count or the number of elements.

same kind of nit, I guess having scalar and vector trip count names would be most clear?

Could you add a comment on why we're using SignedRange here? And below for the ranges and ceiling.

Yeah, it was a bit of an overloaded tripcount mess. I will update this and use these 2 terms:

  • element count: the original scalar tripcount,
  • tripcount = the (vector) tripcount.

Hm, good catch I think. The ranges are signed because they can just be negative, but extracting the ZExt value here for that probably doesn't make any sense. I will put a fixme in for that now, because after addressing the TODO above, the:

// 1) TODO: Check that the TripCount (TC) belongs ...

which is addressed in D86074, revising this part here is highest on my list.
