Air::IRC needs to place all Tmps on some worklist, even if they have no interference edges
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163509
Reviewed by Mark Lam.
The worklist building function in IRC skips temporaries that have no degree. This doesn't appear
to be necessary. This has been there since the original IRC commit. It hasn't caused bugs because
ordinarily, the only way to have a tmp with no degree is to not have any mention of that tmp. But
while working on bug 163371, I hit a crazy corner case where a temporary would have no
interference edges (i.e. no degree). Here's how it happens:
A spill tmp from a previous iteration of IRC may have no degree: imagine a tmp that is live
everywhere and interferes with everyone, but has one use like:
Move %ourTmp, %someOtherTmp
Where there are no other tmps live. After spill conversion, this may look like:
Move (ourSpill), %newTmp
Move %newTmp, %someOtherTmp
Of course, we'd rather not get this kind of spill code but it's totally possible because we now
have a bunch of random conditions under which we won't slap the spill address directly into the
Move.
After this happens, assuming that the only thing live was %someOtherTmp, we will have zero degree
for %newTmp because the Move is coalescable and does not contribute to interference.
Then, we might coalesce %someOtherTmp with %newTmp. Once this happens, if we make the %newTmp be
the master, we're in deep trouble because %newTmp is not on any worklist.
I don't know how to reproduce this except through the patch in bug 163371. Removing the two lines
of code that skipped no-degree tmps causes no regressions, and resolves the problem I was having.
