aarch64: Tweak MLA vector costs
The issue-based vector costs currently assume that a multiply-add sequence can be implemented using a single instruction. This is generally true for scalars (which have a 4-operand instruction) and SVE (which allows the output to be tied to any input). However, for Advanced SIMD, multiplying two values and adding an invariant will end up being a move and an MLA. The only target to use the issue-based vector costs is Neoverse V1, which would generally prefer SVE in this case anyway. I therefore don't have a self-contained testcase. However, the distinction becomes more important with a later patch. gcc/ * config/aarch64/aarch64.c (aarch64_multiply_add_p): Add a vec_flags parameter. Detect cases in which an Advanced SIMD MLA would almost certainly require a MOV. (aarch64_count_ops): Update accordingly.
