> 0001 - Run LICM pass after loop unrolling pass. Runtime unrollng will
> introduce a runtime check in loop prologue(you can treat it as a loop
> preheader). If the unrolled loop is a inner loop, then the proglogue will
> be inside the outer loop. LICM pass can help to promote the runtime check
> out if the checked value is loop invariant.
>
> 0002 - Introduce runtime unrolling disable matadata and use it to mark the
> scalar loop from vectorization. Runtime unrolling is an expensive
> optimization which can bring benefit only if the loop is hot and iteration
> number is relatively large enough. For some loops, we know they are not
> worth to be runtime unrolled. The scalar loop from vectorization is one of
> the cases.

> 0003 - Enable partial & runtime unrolling on cortex-a57, and double the
> unrolling threshold if the loop depth > 1. For inner one of nested loops,
> it is more likely to be a hot loop, and the runtime check can be promoted
> out from patch 0001, so the overhead is less, we can try a larger threshold
> to unroll more loops.

> Combined above changes together, we can get below performance and code
