It may be detrimental to vectorize loops with very small trip count, as various costs of the vectorized loop body as well as enclosing overheads including runtime tests and scalar iterations may outweigh the gains of vectorizing. The current cost model measures the cost of the vectorized loop body only, expecting it will amortize other costs, and loops with known or expected very small trip counts are not vectorized at all. This patch allows loops with very small trip counts to be vectorized, but under OptForSize constraints, which ensure the cost of the loop body is dominant, having no runtime guards nor scalar iterations. Patch inspired by D32451. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D34373 llvm-svn: 306803
