Introduce minimalistic cost model for auto parallelization
Instead of parallelizing every parallel outermost loop, we now use a very minimalistic cost model. Specifically, we assume innermost loops are not worth parallelising and all non-innermost loops are. When parallelizing all loops in LNT we got several slowdowns/timeouts due to us parallelizing innermost loops that are executed only a couple of times (number of iterations not known statically). With this basic heuristic enabled LNT does not show any more timeouts, while several interesting loops are still parallelized. There are many ways to obtain an improved heuristic. Constructing such an improvide heuristic from a position of minimal slow-down and zero code size increase seems to be the best, as it allows us to track progress on LNT. llvm-svn: 222096
