Description

Description
We discovered an issue with Intel UHD GPU drivers not respecting memory sequential consistency. We have a reduced test case https://github.com/llvm/offload-test-suite/pull/225 which we should convert to an HLK test.

In the short term the test can be compiled with DXC, however since it is legal for the frontend to optimize and eliminate the intermediate load, we should also consider an approach that allows us to have this test preserved in DXIL.

Research direction

Start with the reduced test in llvm/offload-test-suite#225 and inspect the repository’s existing HLK tests and DXC/DXIL test entry points. Determine how to convert the case into an HLK test and how the intermediate load can be preserved in DXIL. Done means the test is integrated and catches the Intel UHD GPU memory-consistency issue.
