Tom Stellard 7d43ecc4d4 AMDGPU/SI: Better handle s_wait insertion
We can wait on either VM, EXP or LGKM.
The waits are independent.

Without this patch, a wait inserted because of one of them
would also wait for all the previous others.
This patch makes s_wait only wait for the ones we need for the next
instruction.

Here's an example of subtle perf reduction this patch solves:

This is without the patch:

buffer_load_format_xyzw v[8:11], v0, s[44:47], 0 idxen
buffer_load_format_xyzw v[12:15], v0, s[48:51], 0 idxen
s_load_dwordx4 s[44:47], s[8:9], 0xc
s_waitcnt lgkmcnt(0)
buffer_load_format_xyzw v[16:19], v0, s[52:55], 0 idxen
s_load_dwordx4 s[48:51], s[8:9], 0x10
s_waitcnt vmcnt(1)
buffer_load_format_xyzw v[20:23], v0, s[44:47], 0 idxen

The s_waitcnt vmcnt(1) is useless.
The reason it is added is because the last
buffer_load_format_xyzw needs s[44:47], which was issued
by the first s_load_dwordx4. It waits for all VM
before that call to have finished.

Internally after every instruction, 3 counters (for VM, EXP and LGTM)
are updated after every instruction. For example buffer_load_format_xyzw
will
increase the VM counter, and s_load_dwordx4 the LGKM one.

Without the patch, for every defined register,
the current 3 counters are stored, and are used to know
how long to wait when an instruction needs the register.

Because of that, the s[44:47] counter includes that to use the register
you need to wait for the previous buffer_load_format_xyzw.

Instead this patch stores only the counters that matter for the
register,
and puts zero for the other ones, since we don't need any wait for them.

+==============================================================================+

- If you write a test for matching a single DAG opcode or intrinsic, it should
  go in a file called {opcode_name,intrinsic_name}.ll (e.g. fadd.ll)

- If you write a test that matches several DAG opcodes and checks for a single
  ISA instruction, then that test should go in a file called {ISA_name}.ll (e.g.
  bfi_int.ll

- For all other tests, use your best judgement for organizing tests and naming
  the files.

+==============================================================================+

- Use dash '-' and not underscore '_' to separate words in file names, unless
  the file is named after a DAG opcode or ISA instruction that has an
  underscore '_' in its name.
