[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 1/3] intel/fs: Restrict live intervals to the subset possibly reachable from any definition.

Currently the liveness analysis pass would extend a live interval up
to the top of the program when no unconditional and complete
definition of the variable is found that dominates all of its uses.
This can lead to a serious performance problem in shaders containing
many partial writes, like scalar arithmetic, FP64 and soon FP16
operations. The number of oversize live intervals in such workloads
can cause the compilation time of the shader to explode because of the
worse than quadratic behavior of the register allocator and scheduler
when running out of registers, and it can also cause the running time
of the shader to explode due to the amount of spilling it leads to,
which is orders of magnitude slower than GRF memory.
This patch fixes it by computing the intersection of our current live
intervals with the subset of the program that can possibly be reached
from any definition of the variable. Extending the storage allocation
of the variable beyond that is pretty useless because its value is
guaranteed to be undefined at a point that cannot be reached from any
definition.
No significant change in the running time of shader-db (with 5%
statistical significance).
