AMDGPU: Remove the s_buffer workaround for GFX9 chips
ClosedPublic

Authored by mareko on Jan 31 2018, 11:47 AM.

Details

Summary

I checked the AMD closed source compiler and the workaround is only
needed when x3 is emulated as x4, which we don't do in LLVM.

SMEM x3 opcodes don't exist, and instead there is a possibility to use x4
with the last component being unused. If the last component is out of
buffer bounds and falls on the next 4K page, the hw hangs.

We probably do want to do that optimization at some point, although in that case I would hope we would avoid producing them in the buggy case. Can you add more details to the comment here, and possibly leave it?

Like you mentioned in the commit message that there is a problem with x3 loads only.
