As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).
This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@358546 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
Summary:
Loops with inequality comparers, such as:
// unsigned bound
for (unsigned i = 1; i < bound; ++i) {...}
have getSmallConstantMaxTripCount report a large maximum static
trip count - in this case, 0xffff fffe. However, profiling info
may show that the trip count is much smaller, and thus
counter-recommend vectorization.
This change:
- flips loop-vectorize-with-block-frequency on by default.
- validates profiled loop frequency data supports vectorization,
when static info appears to not counter-recommend it. Absence
of profile data means we rely on static data, just as we've
done so far.

Summary:
Existing heuristic uses the ratio between the function entry
frequency and the loop invocation frequency to find cold loops. However,
even if the loop executes frequently, if it has a small trip count per
each invocation, vectorization is not beneficial. On the other hand,
even if the loop invocation frequency is much smaller than the function
invocation frequency, if the trip count is high it is still beneficial
to vectorize the loop.
This patch uses estimated trip count computed from the profile metadata
as a primary metric to determine coldness of the loop. If the estimated
trip count cannot be computed, it falls back to the original heuristics.
