Summary:
I had a case where multiple nested uniform ifs resulted in code that did
v_cmp comparisons, combining the results with s_and_b64, s_or_b64 and
s_xor_b64 and using the resulting mask in s_cbranch_vccnz, without first
ensuring that bits for inactive lanes were clear.
There was already code for inserting an "s_and_b64 vcc, exec, vcc" to
clear bits for inactive lanes in the case that the branch is instruction
selected as s_cbranch_scc1 and is then changed to s_cbranch_vccnz in
SIFixSGPRCopies. I have added the same code into SILowerControlFlow for
the case that the branch is instruction selected as s_cbranch_vccnz.
This de-optimizes the code in some cases where the s_and is not needed,
because vcc is the result of a v_cmp, or multiple v_cmp instructions
combined by s_and/s_or. We should add a pass to re-optimize those cases.
