Previously we would use a bundle to hint the register allocator to not
overwrite the pointers in a sequence of loads to avoid breaking soft
clauses. This bundling was based on a fuzzy register pressure
heuristic, so we could not guarantee using more registers than are
really available. This would result in register allocator failing on
unsatisfiable bundles. Use a kill to artificially extend the live
ranges, so we can always succeed at register allocation even if it
means extra spills in the worst case.
This seems to capture most of the benefit of the bundle while avoiding
most of the risk presented by the bundle. However the lit tests do
show a handful of regressions. In some cases with sequences of
volatile loads, unused load components end up getting reallocated to
the next load which forces a wait between. There are also a few small
scheduling regressions where a hazard used to be avoided, and one
spill torture test which for some reason nearly doubles the stack
usage. There is also a bit of noise from leftover kills (it may make
sense for post-RA pseudos to strip all of these out).
In a future commit, soft clauses will be hinted with kill instructions
rather than forced together with bundles. Look for kills that look
like this, and erase them. I'm not sure if the check for specific uses
is worthwhile, or if it would be better to just unconditionally erase
kills.
This reduces test churn in a future patch.
This was allowing debug instructions to break the bundling, which
would change scheduling behavior. Bundle debug info / kills inside
the bundle. This seems to work OK, although the asm printer doesn't
understand these in a bundle. This implicitly expects the memory
legalizer to unbundle. It would probably be slightly nicer to move
these after.
Rewrite the loop to be clearer and make sure we don't end a bundle on
a meta instruction, only allow them in between other valid bundle
instructions.
This fixes

We are relying on atrificial DAG edges inserted by the
MemOpClusterMutation to keep loads and stores together in the
post-RA scheduler. This does not work all the time since it
allows to schedule a completely independent instruction in the
middle of the cluster.
Removed the DAG mutation and added pass to bundle already
clustered instructions. These bundles are unpacked before the
memory legalizer because it does not work with bundles but also
because it allows to insert waitcounts in the middle of a store
cluster.
Removing artificial edges also allows a more relaxed scheduling.
