Alyssa Rosenzweig 2bb4dc4054 pan/midgard: Compute liveness per-block
Rather than using a regalloc based on live internals, computed hastily
with repeated invocations of a forward-analysis pass, we switch to
compute liveness information on a per-block basis.

Within a given basic block, we compute liveness backwards with a
linear-time algorithm; for common shaders, this may help RA terminate
quicker.

Across blocks, we use a work list (really a work set) and check if we're
making progress. This isn't terribly efficient, but it gets the job
done. Point is, we get the live_in/live_out for each block.

From there, it's simple to rerun the linear-time update algorithm to
compute the interference graph.

The benefit of this technique is the ability to ignore "gaps" in
liveness across intermediate blocks that are never executed. On simple
shaders like the loops in glmark, this results in a minor reduction in
register pressure. The motivation was a complex shader in Krita that
failed register allocation due to an unfortunate interaction between
texture pipeline registers and control flow. This shader now compiles
successfully.

Build & install
---------------

You can find more information in our documentation (`docs/install.html

Meson (`docs/meson.html <https://mesa3d.org/meson.html>`_):

.. code-block:: sh

  $ mkdir build
  $ cd build
  $ meson ..
  $ sudo ninja install
