Originally, we had virtual opcodes for scratch access, and let the
generator count spills/fills separately from other sends. Later, we
started using the generic SHADER_OPCODE_SEND for spills/fills on some
generations of hardware, and simply detected stateless messages there.
But then we started using stateless messages for other things:
- anv uses stateless messages for the buffer device address feature.
- nir_opt_large_constants generates stateless messages.
- XeHP curbe setup can generate stateless messages.
So counting stateless messages is not accurate. Instead, we move the
spill/fill accounting to the register allocator, as it generates such
things, as well as the load/store_scratch intrinsic handling, as those
are basically spill/fills, just at a higher level.

This rolls compute_sample_position into emit_samplepos_setup, its only
caller, by using a loop instead of calling it twice. We also
early-return for the !persample_dispatch case instead of doing it as
part of the sample calculation. This means that we don't call
fetch_payload_reg() to get sample_pos_reg unless we're actually going to
use it so the function is safe to call even if we haven't set up
sample_pos_reg. This will be important for the next commit.

Implement the output written by the task *workgroup* and available to
all the mesh *workgroups* dispatched from that task. We currently
ignore any layout annotations (since they are not really testable) and
produce a (packed) layout ourselves.
The URB messages are only SIMD8, so for larger SIMDs, the functions
will produce multiple messages. Making this lowering here instead of
the generic lower_simd_width() since it is not just a matter of
zip/unzip, e.g. the offset must be adjusted.
Indirect writes/reads are implemented by handling one component at a
time and using the PER_SLOT variant of the messages.
Note that VK_NV_mesh_shader allows reading outputs, so add support for
that as well.

In Fragment Shader, regular inputs are laid out in the thread payload
in a one dword per each half-GRF, that gives room for having the two
delta dwords needed for interpolation.
Per-primitive inputs are laid out before the regular inputs, and since
there's no need to have delta information, they are packed. So
half-GRF will be fully filled with 4 dwords of input.
When num_per_primitive_inputs is zero (the default case), behavior
should be the same as before.

The Intel bindless thread dispatch model is very simple. When a compute
shader is to be used for bindless dispatch, it can request a set of
stack IDs. These are allocated per-dual-subslice by the hardware and
recycled automatically when the stack ID is returned. Passed to the
bindless dispatch are a global argument address, a stack ID, and an
address of the BINDLESS_SHADER_RECORD to invoke. When the bindless
shader is dispatched, it is passed its stack ID as well as the global
and local argument pointers. The local argument pointer is the address
of the BINDLESS_SHADER_RECORD plus some offset which is specified as
part of the BINDLESS_SHADER_RECORD.

This opcode is responsible for setting up the buffer base address and
per-thread scratch space fields of a scratch message header. For the
most part, it's a copy of g0 but some messages need us to zero out g0.2
and the bottom bits of g0.5.
This may actually fix a bug when nir_load/store_scratch is used. The
docs say that the DWORD scattered messages respect the per-thread
scratch size specified in gN.3[3:0] in the message header but we've been
leaving it zero. This may mean that we've been ignoring any scratch
reads/writes from a load/store_scratch intrinsic above the 1KB mark.

Gen9 and Cherryview have the ability to mark texture instructions with
the End-of-thread bit under some conditions, which allows the texture
result to be written to the render target directly, rather than
returning to the EU.
In order to handle overlapping primitives correctly, we have to use the
'sendc' instruction which stalls until other threads potentially writing
to the same locations in the render target are retired. Unfortunately,
this stall happens before the texture is sampled (rather than in
parallel with stall), so for some literal edge cases (like the diagonal
edge between two triangles forming a rectangle) there can be a
performance penalty. As a result, it's probably not a good idea to use
this optimization in general.
I had planned to leave it enabled only for BLORP, where we use rectangle
primitives and are typically clearing/blitting an entire render target
without any overlapping primitives, but I noticed that the optimization
wasn't applied in some normal cases anyway. For example, in the piglit
test tests/shaders/glsl-fs-texture2d-bias.shader_test it is applied to
one BLORP-blit shader but not another due to some kind of mishandling of
register types (the destination register type of the texture operation
is UD while the color source of the render target write is F).
Additionally the instruction scheduler assumed that the combined texture
and render target write operation took 0 cycles, leading to cycle
estimates that are wildly inaccurate. Since the optimization was not
implemented for SIMD32 and our decision whether to use the SIMD32
program is made by comparing the estimated performance with that of the
SIMD16 shader, we wrongly threw out a bunch of SIMD32 programs that are
likely profitable.

Given the problems, the lack of evidence that the pass improves

Move the decision one level up, let brw_compile_*() functions use the
spilling information to decide whether or not a certain width
compilation can spill (passed via run_*() functions).
The min_dispatch_width was used to compare with the dispatch_width and
decide whether "a previous shader is already available, so don't
accept spill".
This is replaced by:
- Not calling run_*() functions if it is know beforehand a smaller width
already spilled -- since the larger width will spill and fail;
- Explicitly passing whether or not a shader is allowed to spill. For
the cases where the smaller width is available and haven't spilled,
the larger width will be compiled but is only useful if it won't
spill.
Moving the decision to this level will be useful later for variable
group size, which is a case where we want all the widths to be allowed
to spill.

These should be more accurate than the current cycle counts, since
among other things they consider the effect of post-scheduling passes

This introduces an analysis pass intended to estimate several
performance statistics of the shader, including cycle count latency
and throughput values, based on static modeling. It has instruction
performance information more comprehensive than the current scheduling
pass for all platforms between Gen4-11, and works on both the FS and
VEC4 back-end.
The most immediate purpose of this pass is to implement a heuristic
meant to determine whether using SIMD32 dispatch for a fragment shader
can be expected to help more than it hurts. In addition this will
allow the effect of passes run after scheduling (e.g. the TGL software
scoreboard pass and the VEC4 dependency control pass) to be visible in
shader-db statistics.
But that isn't the end of the story, other potential applications of
this pass (not part of this MR) I've been playing around with are:
- Implement a similar SIMD16 heuristic allowing the identification of
inefficient SIMD16 fragment shaders.
- Implement similar SIMD16 and SIMD32 heuristics for the compute
shader stage -- Currently compute shader builds always use the
SIMD16 shader if available and never use the SIMD32 shader unless
strictly necessary, which is suboptimal under certain conditions.
- Hook up to the instruction scheduler in order to improve the
accuracy of its timing information.
- Use as heuristic in order to drive the selection of scheduling
modes (Matt was experimenting with that).
- Plug to the TGL software scoreboard pass in order to implement a
more effective SBID token allocation algorithm, since in general
the optimal token allocation depends on the timings of all
instructions in the program.
- Use its bottleneck detection functionality in order to implement a
heuristic computing a more optimal bound for the number of fragment
shader threads executed in parallel (by adjusting the
MaximumNumberofThreadsPerPSD control of 3DSTATE_PS).
As a follow-up I'm planning to submit updated timing information for
Gen12 platforms -- Everything else required to support Gen12 like SWSB
handling is already included in this patch, but there were some IP
concerns regarding the TGL timing parameters since they cannot
currently be obtained with the documentation and hardware which is
publicly available. The timing parameters for any previous Gen7-11
platforms can be obtained by anyone by sampling the timestamp register
using e.g. shader_time, though I have some more convenient
instrumentation coming up.

Add new builtin parameters that are used to keep track of the group

The compiler will use the maximum group size supported to pick a
suitable SIMD variant. A later improvement will be to keep all SIMD
variants (like FS) so the driver can select the best one at dispatch
time.
When variable workgroup size is used, the small workgroup optimization
is disabled as it we can't prove at compile time that the barriers
won't be needed.

because they have the same lifetime as other liveness analysis results
and because this will allow some extra validation to happen wherever
they are accessed in order to make sure that we only ever use
