Jason Ekstrand f4ef34f207 intel/fs: Add an UNDEF instruction to avoid excess live ranges
With 8 and 16-bit types and anything where we have to use non-trivial
strides registersto deal with restrictions, we end up with things that
look like partial writes even though we don't care about any values in
the register except those written by that instruction.  This is
particularly important when dealing with loops because liveness sees
is_partial_write and the fact that an old version from a previous loop
iteration may be valid at that point and extends all purely partially
written values to the entire loop.

This commit adds a new UNDEF instruction which does nothing (the
generator doesn't emit anything) but which does a fake write to the
register.  This informs liveness that we don't care about any values
before that point so it won't consider those registers to be falsely
live.  We can safely emit UNDEF instructions for all SSA values that
come in from NIR and nearly all temporaries generated by various stages
of the compiler.  In particular, we need to insert UNDEF instructions
when we handle region restrictions because the newly allocated registers
are almost guaranteed to be partially written.

No shader-db changes.

This repository lives at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa.
Other repositories are likely forks, and code found there is not supported.


Build & install
---------------

You can find more information in our documentation (`docs/install.html
<https://mesa3d.org/install.html>`_), but the recommended way is to use
Meson (`docs/meson.html <https://mesa3d.org/meson.html>`_):

.. code-block:: sh

  $ mkdir build
  $ cd build
  $ meson ..
  $ sudo ninja install


Support
-------

Many Mesa devs hang on IRC; if you're not sure which channel is
appropriate, you should ask your question on `Freenode's #dri-devel
<irc://chat.freenode.net#dri-devel>`_, someone will redirect you if
necessary.
Remember that not everyone is in the same timezone as you, so it might
take a while before someone qualified sees your question.
