Matt Arsenault 8c4a35237a AMDGPU: Add pass to lower kernel arguments to loads
This replaces most argument uses with loads, but for
now not all.

The code in SelectionDAG for calling convention lowering
is actively harmful for amdgpu_kernel. It attempts to
split the argument types into register legal types, which
results in low quality code for arbitary types. Since
all kernel arguments are passed in memory, we just want the
raw types.

I've tried a couple of methods of mitigating this in SelectionDAG,
but it's easier to just bypass this problem alltogether. It's
possible to hack around the problem in the initial lowering,
but the real problem is the DAG then expects to be able to use
CopyToReg/CopyFromReg for uses of the arguments outside the block.

Exposing the argument loads in the IR also has the advantage
that the LoadStoreVectorizer can merge them.

I'm not sure the best approach to dealing with the IR
argument list is. The patch as-is just leaves the IR arguments
in place, so all the existing code will still compute the same
kernarg size and pointlessly lowers the arguments.

Arguably the frontend should emit kernels with an empty argument
list in the first place. Alternatively a dummy array could be
inserted as a single argument just to reserve space.

This does have some disadvantages. Local pointer kernel arguments can
no longer have AssertZext placed  on them as the equivalent !range
metadata is not valid on pointer  typed loads. This is mostly bad
for SI which needs to know about the known bits in order to use the
DS instruction offset, so in this case this is not done.

More importantly, this skips noalias arguments since this pass
does not yet convert this to the equivalent !alias.scope and !noalias
metadata. Producing this metadata correctly seems to be tricky,
although this logically is the same as inlining into a function which
doesn't exist. Additionally, exposing these loads to the vectorizer
may result in degraded aliasing information if a pointer load is
merged with another argument load.

I'm also not entirely sure this is preserving the current clover
ABI, although I would greatly prefer if it would stop widening
arguments and match the HSA ABI. As-is I think it is extending
< 4-byte arguments to 4-bytes but doesn't align them to 4-bytes.

Matt Arsenault 3f71c0e3ee AMDGPU: Select DS insts without m0 initialization
GFX9 stopped using m0 for most DS instructions. Select
a different instruction without the use. I think this will
be less error prone than trying to manually maintain m0
uses as needed.

Matt Arsenault 3dbeefa978 AMDGPU: Mark all unspecified CC functions in tests as amdgpu_kernel
Currently the default C calling convention functions are treated
the same as compute kernels. Make this explicit so the default
calling convention can be changed to a non-kernel.

Converted with perl -pi -e 's/define void/define amdgpu_kernel void/'
on the relevant test directories (and undoing in one place that actually
wanted a non-kernel).

Matt Arsenault 7aad8fd8f4 Enable FeatureFlatForGlobal on Volcanic Islands
This switches to the workaround that HSA defaults to
for the mesa path.

This should be applied to the 4.0 branch.

Matthias Braun 6ad3d05b68 MachineScheduler: Fully compare top/bottom candidates
In bidirectional scheduling this gives more stable results than just
comparing the "reason" fields of the top/bottom node because the reason
field may be higher depending on what other nodes are in the queue.

Tom Stellard 1f520e5c98 AMDGPU/SI: Use the hazard recognizer to break SMEM soft clauses
Summary:
Add support for detecting hazards in SMEM soft clauses, so that we only
break the clauses when necessary, either by adding s_nop or re-ordering
other alu instructions.

Tom Stellard 0bc954e3bc AMDGPU/SI: Enable lanemask tracking in misched
Summary:
This results in higher register usage, but should make it easier for
the compiler to hide latency.

This pass is a prerequisite for some more scheduler improvements, and I
think the increase register usage with this patch is acceptable, because
when combined with the scheduler improvements, the total register usage
will decrease.
