[AMDGPU] Set preferred function alignment based on icache geometry (#183064) Non-entry functions were unconditionally aligned to 4 bytes with no architecture-specific preferred alignment, and setAlignment() was used instead of ensureAlignment(), overwriting any explicit IR attributes. Add instruction cache line size and fetch alignment data to GCNSubtarget for each generation (GFX9: 64B/32B, GFX10: 64B/4B, GFX11+: 128B/4B). Use this to call setPrefFunctionAlignment() in SITargetLowering, aligning non-entry functions to the cache line size by default. Change setAlignment to ensureAlignment in AMDGPUAsmPrinter so explicit IR align attributes are respected. Empirical thread trace analysis on gfx942, gfx1030, gfx1100, and gfx1200 showed that only GFX9 exhibits measurable fetch stalls when functions cross the 32-byte fetch window boundary. GFX10+ showed no alignment sensitivity. A hidden option -amdgpu-align-functions-for-fetch-only is provided to use the fetch granularity instead of cache line size. Assisted-by: Claude Opus
