As discussed on llvm-dev:

This is hopefully the final remaining showstopper before we can remove
the 'experimental' from the reduction intrinsics.
No behavior was specified for the FP min/max reductions, so we have a
mess of different interpretations.
There are a few potential options for the semantics of these max/min ops.
I think this is the simplest based on current behavior/implementation:
make the reductions inherit from the existing llvm.maxnum/minnum intrinsics.
These correspond to libm fmax/fmin, and those are similar to the (now
deprecated?) IEEE-754 maxNum/minNum functions (NaNs are treated as missing
data). So the default expansion creates calls to libm functions.
Another option would be to inherit from llvm.maximum/minimum (NaNs propagate),
but most targets just crash in codegen when given those nodes because no
default expansion was ever implemented AFAICT.
We could also just assume 'nnan' semantics by default (we are already
assuming 'nsz' semantics in the maxnum/minnum intrinsics), but some targets
(AArch64, PowerPC) support the more defined behavior, so it doesn't make much
sense to not allow a tighter spec. Fast-math-flags (nnan) can be used to
loosen the semantics.
(Note that D67507 was proposed to update the LangRef to acknowledge the more
recent IEEE-754 2019 standard, but that patch seems to have stalled. If we do
update based on the new standard, the reduction instructions can seamlessly
inherit from whatever updates are made to the max/min intrinsics.)
x86 sees a regression here on 'nnan' tests because we have underlying,
longstanding bugs in FMF creation/propagation. Those need to be fixed apart
from this change (for example: https://llvm.org/PR35538). The expansion
sequence before this patch may not have been correct.

Summary:
For below test case, we will get assert error except for AArch64 and ARM:
declare i8 @llvm.experimental.vector.reduce.and.i8.v3i8(<3 x i8> %a)
define i8 @test_v3i8(<3 x i8> %a) nounwind {
%b = call i8 @llvm.experimental.vector.reduce.and.i8.v3i8(<3 x i8> %a)
ret i8 %b
}
In the function getShuffleReduction (), we can see it needs the vector size must be power of 2.
This patch is fix below error when the number of element is not power of 2 for those llvm.experimental.vector.reduce.* function.

This patch uses the mechanism from D62995 to strengthen the
definitions of the reduction intrinsics by letting the scalar
result/accumulator type be overloaded from the vector element type.
For example:
; The LLVM LangRef specifies that the scalar result must equal the
; vector element type, but this is not checked/enforced by LLVM.
declare i32 @llvm.experimental.vector.reduce.or.i32.v4i32(<4 x i32> %a)
This patch changes that into:
declare i32 @llvm.experimental.vector.reduce.or.v4i32(<4 x i32> %a)
Which has the type-constraint more explicit and causes LLVM to check
the result type with the vector element type.

This patch changes how LLVM handles the accumulator/start value
in the reduction, by never ignoring it regardless of the presence of
fast-math flags on callsites. This change introduces the following
new intrinsics to replace the existing ones:
llvm.experimental.vector.reduce.fadd -> llvm.experimental.vector.reduce.v2.fadd
llvm.experimental.vector.reduce.fmul -> llvm.experimental.vector.reduce.v2.fmul
and adds functionality to auto-upgrade existing LLVM IR and bitcode.

This is a minimal start to correcting a problem most directly discussed in PR38086:
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38086
We have been hacking around a limitation for FP select patterns by using the
fast-math-flags on the condition of the select rather than the select itself.
This patch just allows FMF to appear with the 'select' opcode. No changes are
needed to "FPMathOperator" because it already includes select-of-FP because
that definition is based on the (return) value type.
Once we have this ability, we can start correcting and adding IR transforms
to use the FMF on a 'select' instruction. The instcombine and vectorizer test
diffs only show that the IRBuilder change is behaving as expected by applying
an FMF guard value to 'select'.
For reference:
rL241901 - allowed FMF with fcmp
rL255555 - allowed FMF with FP calls

Without the fast math flags, the llvm.experimental.vector.reduce.fadd/fmul intrinsic expansions must be expanded in order.
This patch scalarizes the reduction, applying the accumulator at the start of the sequence: ((((Acc + Scl[0]) + Scl[1]) + Scl[2]) + ) ... + Scl[NumElts-1]

This pass uses a new target hook to decide whether or not to expand a particular
intrinsic to the shuffevector sequence.
