The current workaround for this hardware bug involved marking the ADD
instruction used to initialize the address register as NoMask on
Gen12, which was based on the assumption that the problem was caused
by a hardware bug affecting the application of the execution mask to
the address register write.
However that doesn't seem to be the case: The address register write
was working correctly, the real problem leading to hangs on TGL is
that the indirect addressing logic is unable to deal with garbage
values in the address register (e.g. misaligned offsets), even for
channels which are currently inactive due to non-uniform control flow.
The current workaround isn't able to avoid that situation in general,
since the result of the NoMask ADD instruction for a dead channel is
calculated based on the corresponding (dead) component of the
indirect_byte_offset source, which would still be undefined in the
likely case that the source was initialized under control flow itself.
This would lead to hangs whenever MOV_INDIRECT was used under
non-uniform control flow in some scenarios like a tessellation shader
from GFXBench5/gl_4 (AKA Car Chase) on TGL. In addition I've managed
to reproduce the same issue on earlier platforms by initializing the
whole address register with garbage before the ADD instruction, so
this seems to be a long-standing issue we have avoided mostly by luck.
This patch fixes the problem and applies the workaround to all
platforms, since even when the hardware is able to deal with garbage
address values without hanging there might be a significant
performance cost from reading random GRF registers due to the useless
extra EU cycles spent fetching registers for dead channels and due to
the potential for unintended serialization with respect to other
random instructions that could be executed in parallel, which may have
had a cost of the order of hundreds of cycles in the worst case
scenario.
