[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 2/2] prog_optimize: Add simplify CMP optimization pass

[Tom Stellard]

This pass removes conditions from conditional assignments when possible.
This pass is useful for hardware that requires a lot of lowering passes
that generate many CMP instructions.

+/**
+ * This pass replaces CMP T0, T1 T2 T0 with MOV TO, T2 when the CMP
+ * instruction is the first instruction to write to register T0.  The are
+ * several lowering passes done in GLSL IR (e.g. branches and
+ * relative addressing) that create a large number of conditional assignments
+ * that ir_to_mesa converts to CMP instructions like the one mentioned above.
+ *
+ * Here is why this conversion is safe:
+ * CMP TO, T1 T2 T0 can be expanded to:
+ * if (T1 < 0.0)
+ * 	MOV T0, T2;
+ * else
+ * 	MOV T0, TO;
+ *
+ * If (T1 < 0.0) evaluates to true then our replacement MOV T0, T2 is the same
+ * as the original program.  If (T1 < 0.0) evaluates to false, executing
+ * MOV T0, T0 will store a garbage value in T0 since T0 is uninitialized.
+ * Therefore, it doesn't matter that we are replacing MOV T0, T0 with MOV TO, T2
+ * because any instruction that was going to read from T0 after this was going
+ * to read a garbage value anyway.
