[LV] Avoid needless fold tail

[gilr]

Summary

When the trip-count is provably divisible by the maximal/chosen VF, folding the loop's tail during vectorization is redundant.
This commit extends the existing test for constant trip-counts to any trip-count known to be divisible by maximal/selected VF by SCEV.

Was surprised to see this change, because I thought we were handling it here already.
Is this check here still relevant? Or can we "merge" this with the one that you added below?

Is this check here still relevant?

Yes, since IC may take non-power-of-2 values. Will add a test to cover that.

[gilr]

Add a test for a constant TC with IC=3.

Ah yeah, I do see that now.
Thanks

LGTM

LGTM, thanks

Is this enough? I think it might be better to check the whole vector body?

Tried to keep the checks to the minimum proving unmasked vectorization, but perhaps indeed better to check the whole context - will switch to update_test format for easy maintenance.
Thanks @SjoerdMeijer, @fhahn!

Thinking a bit more about this, I think we should be able to use ScalarEvolution::getURemExpr to check if the trip count is a multiple of any VF. That should work for both the constant and variable trip-count cases. As I missed commenting on that before the patch landed, I put up D93677

llvm/lib/Transforms/Vectorize/LoopVectorize.cpp

LoopVectorizationCostModel::computeMaxVF(ElementCount UserVF, unsigned UserIC) {
   }
 
   assert(!MaxVF.isScalable() &&
          "Scalable vectors do not yet support tail folding");
   assert((UserVF.isNonZero() || isPowerOf2_32(MaxVF.getFixedValue())) &&
          "MaxVF must be a power of 2");
   unsigned MaxVFtimesIC =
       UserIC ? MaxVF.getFixedValue() * UserIC : MaxVF.getFixedValue();
   if (TC > 0 && TC % MaxVFtimesIC == 0) {
     // Accept MaxVF if we do not have a tail.
     LLVM_DEBUG(dbgs() << "LV: No tail will remain for any chosen VF.\n");
     return MaxVF;
   }
 
+  // Avoid tail folding if the trip count is known to be a multiple of any VF we
+  // chose.
+  ScalarEvolution *SE = PSE.getSE();
+  const SCEV *BackedgeTakenCount = PSE.getBackedgeTakenCount();
+  const SCEV *ExitCount = SE->getAddExpr(
+      BackedgeTakenCount, SE->getOne(BackedgeTakenCount->getType()));
+  unsigned TCisMultipleOf = 1 << SE->GetMinTrailingZeros(ExitCount);
+  if (TCisMultipleOf % MaxVFtimesIC == 0) {
+    // Accept MaxVF if we do not have a tail.
+    LLVM_DEBUG(dbgs() << "LV: No tail will remain for any chosen VF.\n");
+    return MaxVF;
+  }
+
   // If we don't know the precise trip count, or if the trip count that we
   // found modulo the vectorization factor is not zero, try to fold the tail
   // by masking.
   // FIXME: look for a smaller MaxVF that does divide TC rather than masking.
   if (Legal->prepareToFoldTailByMasking()) {
     FoldTailByMasking = true;
     return MaxVF;
   }
