On some AMDGPU subtargets, copying to and from AGPR registers using another
AGPR register is not possible. A intermediate VGPR register is needed for AGPR
to AGPR copy. This is an issue when machine copy propagation forwards a
COPY $agpr, replacing a COPY $vgpr which results in $agpr = COPY $agpr. It is
removing a cross class copy that may have been optimized by previous passes and
potentially creating an unoptimized cross class copy later on.
To avoid this issue, check CrossCopyRegClass if a different register class will
be needed for the copy. If so then avoid forwarding the copy when the
destination does not match the desired register class and if the original copy
already matches the desired register class.
Issue seen while attempting to optimize another AGPR to AGPR issue:
Live-ins: $agpr0
$vgpr0 = COPY $agpr0
$agpr1 = V_ACCVGPR_WRITE_B32 $vgpr0
$agpr2 = COPY $vgpr0
$agpr3 = COPY $vgpr0
$agpr4 = COPY $vgpr0
After machine-cp:
$vgpr0 = COPY $agpr0
$agpr1 = V_ACCVGPR_WRITE_B32 $vgpr0
$agpr2 = COPY $agpr0
$agpr3 = COPY $agpr0
$agpr4 = COPY $agpr0
Machine-cp propagated COPY $agpr0 to replace $vgpr0 creating 3 AGPR to AGPR
copys. Later this creates a cross-register copy from AGPR->VGPR->AGPR for each
copy when the prior VGPR->AGPR copy was already optimal.
I suspect you don't really want an exact class match, and probably should be checking if one is a subclass of the other
