Subject: i965/fs: Take into account lower frequency of conditional blocks in spilling cost... 
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=147e71242ce539ff28e282f009c332818c35f5ac;p=mesa.git

i965/fs: Take into account lower frequency of conditional blocks in spilling cost heuristic.

The individual branches of an if/else/endif construct will be executed
some unknown number of times between 0 and 1 relative to the parent
block.  Use some factor in between as weight while approximating the
cost of spill/fill instructions within a conditional if-else branch.
This favors spilling registers used within conditional branches which
are likely to be executed less frequently than registers used at the
top level.

Improves the framerate of the SynMark2 OglCSDof benchmark by ~1.9x on
my SKL GT4e.  Should have a comparable effect on other platforms.  No
significant regressions.
