jlebar added a comment.

To elaborate on why the suggestion I gave is the right thing to do: LLVM will inline convergent functions.  After inlining a convergent function, the fact that it is convergent is lost.  Therefore llvm can transform the body of the function, introducing a divergence.  That will clearly be incorrect.

However, if you add a convergent nop intrinsic to the body of any function that is marked with the convergent attribute, this will behave correctly even in the face of inlining.
