This patch fixes a bug in which GCN5 devices often fail to return an exit value because it's not yet been written to memory when the program exits. The fix is simply to wait for it properly. GCN3 devices did not demonstrate the problem, but it was technically wrong there also. The bug was introduced when we stopped waiting for all writes to complete.

I've also taken the opportunity to adjust gcn-run such that a similar issue can't go unnoticed for so long, in future.

GCN: Wait for exit value to write before exiting.

2019-05-24  Andrew Stubbs  <a...@codesourcery.com>

	gcc/
	* config/gcn/gcn-run.c (main): Set a non-zero return value if the
	kernel does not exit cleanly.
	* config/gcn/gcn.md (gcn_return): Insert s_waitcnt before s_dcache_wb.
