[PATCH] D99507: [amdgpu] Add a pass to avoid jump into blocks with 0 exec mask.

[Michael Liao via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

hliao added a comment.

It seems to me that we may need to revise CFG lowering to avoid updating EXEC directly and later revise it based on whether the restoring mask needs reloading or not. Here's the brief thought in my mind:

- Instead of lowering CFG early before RA, lower it after RA. As a byproduct, it also remove the need of "terminator" version of exec mask manipulation instructions.
- When CFG is being lowered, it could update EXEC eagerly if the merge point doesn't need to reload the mask; Otherwise, it just needs to translate as what we currently did.

Any suggestions and comments?
