Francisco Jerez 591f146fd2 intel/fs/cse: Fix non-deterministic behavior due to inaccurate liveness calculation.
The liveness calculation done by the local CSE pass in order to prune
AEB entries whose sources are no longer live is currently inaccurate,
because the live intervals are calculated once at the beginning of the
pass, so they don't take into account any of the copy instructions
inserted by the CSE pass as it makes progress.  However the IP counter
used in that calculation is based on the start_ip of the basic block,
which is updated automatically whenever any instructions are inserted
into the CFG.  This causes the IP counter and liveness intervals to
get out of sync in programs with multiple basic blocks, causing the
CSE pass to toss AEB entries prematurely, which can lead to missed
optimization opportunities rather non-deterministically.

On BDW this leads to the following shader-db changes:

 total instructions in shared programs: 14952488 -> 14951763 (-0.00%)
 instructions in affected programs: 45416 -> 44691 (-1.60%)
 helped: 40
 HURT: 4

 total spills in shared programs: 20989 -> 20970 (-0.09%)
 spills in affected programs: 103 -> 84 (-18.45%)
 helped: 3
 HURT: 0

 total fills in shared programs: 24981 -> 24926 (-0.22%)
 fills in affected programs: 127 -> 72 (-43.31%)
 helped: 3
 HURT: 0

In addition it avoids a number of regressions in combination with some
of the optimization changes I'm working on for SIMD32, which would
have made CSE more effective...  Causing it to be less effective
elsewhere in the program astonishingly.

======================================================


Source
------

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.
To figure out who you're talking to, or which nick to ping for your
question, check out `Who's Who on IRC
<https://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/WhosWho/>`_.

The next best option is to ask your question in an email to the
mailing lists: `mesa-dev\@lists.freedesktop.org
<https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev>`_
