The instruction selection pass for SPIR-V now performs dead code
elimination (DCE).
This change removes unused instructions, leading to more optimized
SPIR-V output.
As a consequence of this, several tests were updated to ensure their
continued
correctness and to prevent previously tested code from being optimized
away.
Specifically:
- Many tests now store computed values into global variables to ensure
they are
not eliminated by DCE, allowing their code generation to be verified.
- The test `keep-tracked-const.ll` was removed because it no longer
tested
its original intent. The check statements in this test were for
constants
generated when expanding a G_TRUNC instruction, which is now removed by
DCE
instead of being expanded.
- A new test, `remove-dead-type-intrinsics.ll`, was added to confirm
that dead
struct types are correctly removed by the compiler.
These updates improve the SPIR-V backends optimization capabilities and
maintain the robustness of the test suite.

This PR continues https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/101732
changes in virtual register processing aimed to improve correctness of
emitted MIR between passes from the perspective of MachineVerifier.
Namely, the following changes are introduced:
* register classes (lib/Target/SPIRV/SPIRVRegisterInfo.td) and
instruction patterns (lib/Target/SPIRV/SPIRVInstrInfo.td) are corrected
and simplified (by removing unnecessary sophisticated options) -- e.g.,
this PR gets rid of duplicating 32/64 bits patterns, removes ANYID
register class and simplifies definition of the rest of register
classes,
* hardcoded LLT scalar types in passes before instruction selection are
corrected -- the goal is to have correct bit width before instruction
selection, and use 64 bits registers for pattern matching in the
instruction selection pass; 32-bit registers remain where they are
described in such terms by SPIR-V specification (like, for example,
creation of virtual registers for scope/mem semantics operands),
* rework virtual register type/class assignment for calls/builtins
lowering,
* a series of minor changes to fix validity of emitted code between
passes:
- ensure that that bitcast changes the type,
- fix the pattern for instruction selection for OpExtInst,
- simplify inline asm operands usage,
- account for arbitrary integer sizes / update legalizer rules;
* add '-verify-machineinstrs' to existed test cases.
See also https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/88129 that this PR
may resolve.
This PR fixes a great number of issues reported by MachineVerifier and,
as a result, reduces a number of failed test cases for the mode with
expensive checks set on from ~200 to ~57.
Prior to this change spv_ptrcast (and OpBitcast) was never emitted for
GEP resulting pointers. While such SPIR-V was (mostly) accepted by the
NEO GPU driver, the generated SPIR-V was incorrect.
The newly added test (pointers/getelementptr-bitcast-load.ll) verifies
that a correct bitcast is added for more complex cases and passes
spirv-val. The test is based on an OpenCL CTS test (basic/prefetch).
