Ian Romanick 8591adea38 nir/algebraic: Don't distrubte absolute-value into dot-products
Dot product is multiplication followed by addition, and absolute value
does not distribute into addition.

Only vec4 platforms are affected by this change as scalar-only platforms
never have any of the fdot_replicated instructions.  In the shader-db
results, below, shaders in MANY different applications are affected.
Trine, Doom3, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, Counter Strike: Global
Offensive, Mad Max, Metro Last Light, and on and on...  I'm really
shocked that there were no test regressions!

All Haswell and earlier platforms had similar results. (Haswell shown)
total instructions in shared programs: 16219743 -> 16219820 (<.01%)
instructions in affected programs: 12171 -> 12248 (0.63%)

`Mesa <https://mesa3d.org>`_ - The 3D Graphics Library
======================================================


Source
------

This repository lives at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa.
Other repositories are likely forks, and code found there is not supported.


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

You can find more information in our documentation (`docs/install.rst
<https://mesa3d.org/install.html>`_), but the recommended way is to use
Meson (`docs/meson.rst <https://mesa3d.org/meson.html>`_):

.. code-block:: sh

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


Support
-------

Many Mesa devs hang on IRC; if you're not sure which channel is
appropriate, you should ask your question on `Freenode's #dri-devel
<irc://chat.freenode.net#dri-devel>`_, someone will redirect you if
necessary.
Remember that not everyone is in the same timezone as you, so it might
take a while before someone qualified sees your question.
To figure out who you're talking to, or which nick to ping for your
question, check out `Who's Who on IRC
<https://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/WhosWho/>`_.

The next best option is to ask your question in an email to the
mailing lists: `mesa-dev\@lists.freedesktop.org
<https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev>`_
