Scott Linder 03316a5291 [DebugInfo] Support DWARF v5 source code embedding extension 
In DWARF v5 the Line Number Program Header is extensible, allowing values with
new content types. In this extension a content type is added,
DW_LNCT_LLVM_source, which contains the embedded source code of the file.

Add new optional attribute for !DIFile IR metadata called source which contains
source text. Use this to output the source to the DWARF line table of code
objects. Analogously extend METADATA_FILE in Bitcode and .file directive in ASM
to support optional source.

Teach llvm-dwarfdump and llvm-objdump about the new values. Update the output
format of llvm-dwarfdump to make room for the new attribute on file_names
entries, and support embedded sources for the -source option in llvm-objdump.

=========== =============== ============ ===== ========= ======= ==================
.. _amdgpu-target-features:
Target Features
---------------
Target features control how code is generated to support certain
processor specific features. Not all target features are supported by
all processors. The runtime must ensure that the features supported by
the device used to execute the code match the features enabled when
generating the code. A mismatch of features may result in incorrect
execution, or a reduction in performance.
The target features supported by each processor, and the default value
used if not specified explicitly, is listed in
:ref:`amdgpu-processor-table`.
Use the ``clang -m[no-]<TargetFeature>`` option to specify the AMD GPU
target features.
For example:
``-mxnack``
Enable the ``xnack`` feature.
``-mno-xnack``
Disable the ``xnack`` feature.
.. table:: AMDGPU Target Features
:name: amdgpu-target-feature-table
============== ==================================================
Target Feature Description
============== ==================================================
-m[no-]xnack Enable/disable generating code that has
memory clauses that are compatible with
having XNACK replay enabled.
This is used for demand paging and page
migration. If XNACK replay is enabled in
the device, then if a page fault occurs
the code may execute incorrectly if the
``xnack`` feature is not enabled. Executing
code that has the feature enabled on a
device that does not have XNACK replay
enabled will execute correctly, but may
be less performant than code with the
feature disabled.
============== ==================================================
.. _amdgpu-address-spaces:
Address Spaces
--------------
The AMDGPU backend uses the following address space mappings.
The memory space names used in the table, aside from the region memory space, is
from the OpenCL standard.
LLVM Address Space number is used throughout LLVM (for example, in LLVM IR).
.. table:: Address Space Mapping
:name: amdgpu-address-space-mapping-table
================== =================
LLVM Address Space Memory Space
================== =================
0 Generic (Flat)
1 Global
2 Region (GDS)
3 Local (group/LDS)
4 Constant
5 Private (Scratch)
6 Constant 32-bit
================== =================
.. _amdgpu-memory-scopes:
Memory Scopes
-------------
This section provides LLVM memory synchronization scopes supported by the AMDGPU
backend memory model when the target triple OS is ``amdhsa`` (see
:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model` and :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`).
The memory model supported is based on the HSA memory model [HSA]_ which is
based in turn on HRF-indirect with scope inclusion [HRF]_. The happens-before
relation is transitive over the synchonizes-with relation independent of scope,
and synchonizes-with allows the memory scope instances to be inclusive (see
table :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-llvm-sync-scopes-table`).
This is different to the OpenCL [OpenCL]_ memory model which does not have scope
inclusion and requires the memory scopes to exactly match. However, this
is conservatively correct for OpenCL.
.. table:: AMDHSA LLVM Sync Scopes
:name: amdgpu-amdhsa-llvm-sync-scopes-table
================ ==========================================================
LLVM Sync Scope Description
================ ==========================================================
*none* The default: ``system``.
Synchronizes with, and participates in modification and
seq_cst total orderings with, other operations (except
image operations) for all address spaces (except private,
or generic that accesses private) provided the other
operation's sync scope is:
- ``system``.
- ``agent`` and executed by a thread on the same agent.
- ``workgroup`` and executed by a thread in the same
workgroup.
- ``wavefront`` and executed by a thread in the same
wavefront.
``agent`` Synchronizes with, and participates in modification and
seq_cst total orderings with, other operations (except
image operations) for all address spaces (except private,
or generic that accesses private) provided the other
operation's sync scope is:
- ``system`` or ``agent`` and executed by a thread on the
same agent.
- ``workgroup`` and executed by a thread in the same
workgroup.
- ``wavefront`` and executed by a thread in the same
wavefront.
``workgroup`` Synchronizes with, and participates in modification and
seq_cst total orderings with, other operations (except
image operations) for all address spaces (except private,
or generic that accesses private) provided the other
operation's sync scope is:
- ``system``, ``agent`` or ``workgroup`` and executed by a
thread in the same workgroup.
- ``wavefront`` and executed by a thread in the same
wavefront.
``wavefront`` Synchronizes with, and participates in modification and
seq_cst total orderings with, other operations (except
image operations) for all address spaces (except private,
or generic that accesses private) provided the other
operation's sync scope is:
- ``system``, ``agent``, ``workgroup`` or ``wavefront``
and executed by a thread in the same wavefront.
``singlethread`` Only synchronizes with, and participates in modification
and seq_cst total orderings with, other operations (except
image operations) running in the same thread for all
address spaces (for example, in signal handlers).

The ELF class is:
* ``ELFCLASS32`` for ``r600`` architecture.
* ``ELFCLASS64`` for ``amdgcn`` architecture which only supports 64
bit applications.
``e_ident[EI_DATA]``
All AMDGPU targets use ``ELFDATA2LSB`` for little-endian byte ordering.
``e_ident[EI_OSABI]``
One of the following AMD GPU architecture specific OS ABIs
(see :ref:`amdgpu-os-table`):
* ``ELFOSABI_NONE`` for *unknown* OS.
* ``ELFOSABI_AMDGPU_HSA`` for ``amdhsa`` OS.
* ``ELFOSABI_AMDGPU_PAL`` for ``amdpal`` OS.
* ``ELFOSABI_AMDGPU_MESA3D`` for ``mesa3D`` OS.
``e_ident[EI_ABIVERSION]``
The ABI version of the AMD GPU architecture specific OS ABI to which the code
object conforms:
* ``ELFABIVERSION_AMDGPU_HSA`` is used to specify the version of AMD HSA
runtime ABI.
* ``ELFABIVERSION_AMDGPU_PAL`` is used to specify the version of AMD PAL
runtime ABI.
* ``ELFABIVERSION_AMDGPU_MESA3D`` is used to specify the version of AMD MESA
3D runtime ABI.
``e_type``
Can be one of the following values:
``ET_REL``
The type produced by the AMD GPU backend compiler as it is relocatable code
object.
``ET_DYN``
The type produced by the linker as it is a shared code object.
The AMD HSA runtime loader requires a ``ET_DYN`` code object.
``e_machine``
The value ``EM_AMDGPU`` is used for the machine for all processors supported
by the ``r600`` and ``amdgcn`` architectures (see
:ref:`amdgpu-processor-table`). The specific processor is specified in the
``EF_AMDGPU_MACH`` bit field of the ``e_flags`` (see
:ref:`amdgpu-elf-header-e_flags-table`).
``e_entry``
The entry point is 0 as the entry points for individual kernels must be
selected in order to invoke them through AQL packets.
``e_flags``

relocation records associated with the ``.text`` section.
For linked shared code objects, ``.rela.dyn`` contains all the relocation
records from each of the relocatable code object's ``.rela``\ *name* sections.
See :ref:`amdgpu-relocation-records` for the relocation records supported by
the AMDGPU backend.
``.text``
The executable machine code for the kernels and functions they call. Generated
as position independent code. See :ref:`amdgpu-code-conventions` for
information on conventions used in the isa generation.
.. _amdgpu-note-records:
Note Records
------------
As required by ``ELFCLASS32`` and ``ELFCLASS64``, minimal zero byte padding must
be generated after the ``name`` field to ensure the ``desc`` field is 4 byte
aligned. In addition, minimal zero byte padding must be generated to ensure the
``desc`` field size is a multiple of 4 bytes. The ``sh_addralign`` field of the
``.note`` section must be at least 4 to indicate at least 8 byte alignment.
The AMDGPU backend code object uses the following ELF note records in the
``.note`` section. The *Description* column specifies the layout of the note
record's ``desc`` field. All fields are consecutive bytes. Note records with
variable size strings have a corresponding ``*_size`` field that specifies the
number of bytes, including the terminating null character, in the string. The
string(s) come immediately after the preceding fields.
Additional note records can be present.

will resolve relocations using the definition provided by another code object
or explicitly defined by the runtime.
All global symbols, whether defined in the compilation unit or external, are
accessed by the machine code indirectly through a GOT table entry. This
allows them to be preemptable. The GOT table is only supported when the target
triple OS is ``amdhsa`` (see :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`).
.. TODO
Add description of linked shared object symbols. Seems undefined symbols
are marked as STT_NOTYPE.
Kernel descriptor
Every HSA kernel has an associated kernel descriptor. It is the address of the
kernel descriptor that is used in the AQL dispatch packet used to invoke the
kernel, not the kernel entry point. The layout of the HSA kernel descriptor is
defined in :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`.
Kernel entry point
Every HSA kernel also has a symbol for its machine code entry point.
.. _amdgpu-relocation-records:
Relocation Records
------------------
AMDGPU backend generates ``Elf64_Rela`` relocation records. Supported
relocatable fields are:
``word32``
This specifies a 32-bit field occupying 4 bytes with arbitrary byte
alignment. These values use the same byte order as other word values in the
AMD GPU architecture.
``word64``
This specifies a 64-bit field occupying 8 bytes with arbitrary byte
alignment. These values use the same byte order as other word values in the
AMD GPU architecture.
Following notations are used for specifying relocation calculations:
**A**
Represents the addend used to compute the value of the relocatable field.
**G**
Represents the offset into the global offset table at which the relocation
entry's symbol will reside during execution.
**GOT**
Represents the address of the global offset table.
**P**
Represents the place (section offset for ``et_rel`` or address for ``et_dyn``)
of the storage unit being relocated (computed using ``r_offset``).
**S**
Represents the value of the symbol whose index resides in the relocation
entry. Relocations not using this must specify a symbol index of ``STN_UNDEF``.
**B**
Represents the base address of a loaded executable or shared object which is
the difference between the ELF address and the actual load address. Relocations
using this are only valid in executable or shared objects.
The following relocation types are supported:

DWARF
-----
Standard DWARF [DWARF]_ Version 5 sections can be generated. These contain
information that maps the code object executable code and data to the source
language constructs. It can be used by tools such as debuggers and profilers.
Address Space Mapping
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following address space mapping is used:
.. table:: AMDGPU DWARF Address Space Mapping
:name: amdgpu-dwarf-address-space-mapping-table
=================== =================
DWARF Address Space Memory Space
=================== =================
1 Private (Scratch)
2 Local (group/LDS)
*omitted* Global
*omitted* Constant
*omitted* Generic (Flat)
*not supported* Region (GDS)
=================== =================
See :ref:`amdgpu-address-spaces` for information on the memory space terminology
used in the table.
An ``address_class`` attribute is generated on pointer type DIEs to specify the
DWARF address space of the value of the pointer when it is in the *private* or
*local* address space. Otherwise the attribute is omitted.
An ``XDEREF`` operation is generated in location list expressions for variables
that are allocated in the *private* and *local* address space. Otherwise no
``XDREF`` is omitted.
Register Mapping
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*This section is WIP.*
.. TODO
Define DWARF register enumeration.
If want to present a wavefront state then should expose vector registers as
64 wide (rather than per work-item view that LLVM uses). Either as separate
registers, or a 64x4 byte single register. In either case use a new LANE op
(akin to XDREF) to select the current lane usage in a location
expression. This would also allow scalar register spilling to vector register
lanes to be expressed (currently no debug information is being generated for
spilling). If choose a wide single register approach then use LANE in
conjunction with PIECE operation to select the dword part of the register for
the current lane. If the separate register approach then use LANE to select
the register.
Source Text
~~~~~~~~~~~
Source text for online-compiled programs (e.g. those compiled by the OpenCL
runtime) may be embedded into the DWARF v5 line table using the ``clang
-gembed-source`` option, described in table :ref:`amdgpu-debug-options`.
For example:
``-gembed-source``
Enable the embedded source DWARF v5 extension.
``-gno-embed-source``
Disable the embedded source DWARF v5 extension.

debug sections. Useful for environments where
source cannot be written to disk, such as
when performing online compilation.
==================== ==================================================
This option enables one extended content types in the DWARF v5 Line Number
Program Header, which is used to encode embedded source.

The source field will contain the UTF-8 encoded, null-terminated source text
with ``'\n'`` line endings. When the source field is present, consumers can use
the embedded source instead of attempting to discover the source on disk. When
the source field is absent, consumers can access the file to get the source
text.
The above content type appears in the ``file_name_entry_format`` field of the
line table prologue, and its corresponding value appear in the ``file_names``
field. The current encoding of the content type is documented in table

This section provides code conventions used when the target triple OS is
``amdhsa`` (see :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`).
.. _amdgpu-amdhsa-hsa-code-object-metadata:
Code Object Metadata
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The code object metadata specifies extensible metadata associated with the code
objects executed on HSA [HSA]_ compatible runtimes such as AMD's ROCm
[AMD-ROCm]_. It is specified by the ``NT_AMD_AMDGPU_HSA_METADATA`` note record
(see :ref:`amdgpu-note-records`) and is required when the target triple OS is
``amdhsa`` (see :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`). It must contain the minimum
information necessary to support the ROCM kernel queries. For example, the
segment sizes needed in a dispatch packet. In addition, a high level language
runtime may require other information to be included. For example, the AMD
OpenCL runtime records kernel argument information.
The metadata is specified as a YAML formatted string (see [YAML]_ and
:doc:`YamlIO`).
.. TODO
Is the string null terminated? It probably should not if YAML allows it to
contain null characters, otherwise it should be.
The metadata is represented as a single YAML document comprised of the mapping
defined in table :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-code-object-metadata-mapping-table` and
referenced tables.
For boolean values, the string values of ``false`` and ``true`` are used for
false and true respectively.
Additional information can be added to the mappings. To avoid conflicts, any
non-AMD key names should be prefixed by "*vendor-name*.".

Kernel Dispatch
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The HSA architected queuing language (AQL) defines a user space memory interface
that can be used to control the dispatch of kernels, in an agent independent
way. An agent can have zero or more AQL queues created for it using the ROCm
runtime, in which AQL packets (all of which are 64 bytes) can be placed. See the
*HSA Platform System Architecture Specification* [HSA]_ for the AQL queue
mechanics and packet layouts.
The packet processor of a kernel agent is responsible for detecting and
dispatching HSA kernels from the AQL queues associated with it. For AMD GPUs the
packet processor is implemented by the hardware command processor (CP),
asynchronous dispatch controller (ADC) and shader processor input controller
(SPI).
The ROCm runtime can be used to allocate an AQL queue object. It uses the kernel
mode driver to initialize and register the AQL queue with CP.
To dispatch a kernel the following actions are performed. This can occur in the
CPU host program, or from an HSA kernel executing on a GPU.
1. A pointer to an AQL queue for the kernel agent on which the kernel is to be
executed is obtained.
2. A pointer to the kernel descriptor (see
:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`) of the kernel to execute is
obtained. It must be for a kernel that is contained in a code object that that
was loaded by the ROCm runtime on the kernel agent with which the AQL queue is
associated.
3. Space is allocated for the kernel arguments using the ROCm runtime allocator
for a memory region with the kernarg property for the kernel agent that will
execute the kernel. It must be at least 16 byte aligned.
4. Kernel argument values are assigned to the kernel argument memory
allocation. The layout is defined in the *HSA Programmer's Language Reference*
[HSA]_. For AMDGPU the kernel execution directly accesses the kernel argument
memory in the same way constant memory is accessed. (Note that the HSA
specification allows an implementation to copy the kernel argument contents to
another location that is accessed by the kernel.)
5. An AQL kernel dispatch packet is created on the AQL queue. The ROCm runtime
api uses 64 bit atomic operations to reserve space in the AQL queue for the
packet. The packet must be set up, and the final write must use an atomic
store release to set the packet kind to ensure the packet contents are
visible to the kernel agent. AQL defines a doorbell signal mechanism to
notify the kernel agent that the AQL queue has been updated. These rules, and
the layout of the AQL queue and kernel dispatch packet is defined in the *HSA
System Architecture Specification* [HSA]_.
6. A kernel dispatch packet includes information about the actual dispatch,
such as grid and work-group size, together with information from the code
object about the kernel, such as segment sizes. The ROCm runtime queries on
the kernel symbol can be used to obtain the code object values which are
recorded in the :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-hsa-code-object-metadata`.
7. CP executes micro-code and is responsible for detecting and setting up the
GPU to execute the wavefronts of a kernel dispatch.
8. CP ensures that when the a wavefront starts executing the kernel machine
code, the scalar general purpose registers (SGPR) and vector general purpose
registers (VGPR) are set up as required by the machine code. The required
setup is defined in the :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`. The initial
register state is defined in
:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`.
9. The prolog of the kernel machine code (see
:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog`) sets up the machine state as necessary
before continuing executing the machine code that corresponds to the kernel.
10. When the kernel dispatch has completed execution, CP signals the completion
signal specified in the kernel dispatch packet if not 0.
.. _amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-spaces:
Memory Spaces
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The memory space properties are:
.. table:: AMDHSA Memory Spaces
:name: amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-spaces-table
================= =========== ======== ======= ==================
Memory Space Name HSA Segment Hardware Address NULL Value
Name Name Size
================= =========== ======== ======= ==================

Region N/A GDS 32 *not implemented
for AMDHSA*
================= =========== ======== ======= ==================
The global and constant memory spaces both use global virtual addresses, which
are the same virtual address space used by the CPU. However, some virtual
addresses may only be accessible to the CPU, some only accessible by the GPU,
and some by both.
Using the constant memory space indicates that the data will not change during
the execution of the kernel. This allows scalar read instructions to be
used. The vector and scalar L1 caches are invalidated of volatile data before
each kernel dispatch execution to allow constant memory to change values between
kernel dispatches.
The local memory space uses the hardware Local Data Store (LDS) which is
automatically allocated when the hardware creates work-groups of wavefronts, and
freed when all the wavefronts of a work-group have terminated. The data store
(DS) instructions can be used to access it.
The private memory space uses the hardware scratch memory support. If the kernel
uses scratch, then the hardware allocates memory that is accessed using
wavefront lane dword (4 byte) interleaving. The mapping used from private
address to physical address is:
``wavefront-scratch-base +
(private-address * wavefront-size * 4) +
(wavefront-lane-id * 4)``
There are different ways that the wavefront scratch base address is determined
by a wavefront (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`). This
memory can be accessed in an interleaved manner using buffer instruction with
the scratch buffer descriptor and per wave scratch offset, by the scratch
instructions, or by flat instructions. If each lane of a wavefront accesses the
same private address, the interleaving results in adjacent dwords being accessed
and hence requires fewer cache lines to be fetched. Multi-dword access is not
supported except by flat and scratch instructions in GFX9.
The generic address space uses the hardware flat address support available in
GFX7-GFX9. This uses two fixed ranges of virtual addresses (the private and
local appertures), that are outside the range of addressible global memory, to
map from a flat address to a private or local address.
FLAT instructions can take a flat address and access global, private (scratch)
and group (LDS) memory depending in if the address is within one of the
apperture ranges. Flat access to scratch requires hardware aperture setup and
setup in the kernel prologue (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-flat-scratch`). Flat
access to LDS requires hardware aperture setup and M0 (GFX7-GFX8) register setup
(see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-m0`).
To convert between a segment address and a flat address the base address of the
appertures address can be used. For GFX7-GFX8 these are available in the
:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-hsa-aql-queue` the address of which can be obtained with
Queue Ptr SGPR (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`). For
GFX9 the appature base addresses are directly available as inline constant
registers ``SRC_SHARED_BASE/LIMIT`` and ``SRC_PRIVATE_BASE/LIMIT``. In 64 bit
address mode the apperture sizes are 2^32 bytes and the base is aligned to 2^32
which makes it easier to convert from flat to segment or segment to flat.
Image and Samplers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Image and sample handles created by the ROCm runtime are 64 bit addresses of a
hardware 32 byte V# and 48 byte S# object respectively. In order to support the
HSA ``query_sampler`` operations two extra dwords are used to store the HSA BRIG
enumeration values for the queries that are not trivially deducible from the S#
representation.
HSA Signals
~~~~~~~~~~~
HSA signal handles created by the ROCm runtime are 64 bit addresses of a
structure allocated in memory accessible from both the CPU and GPU. The
structure is defined by the ROCm runtime and subject to change between releases
(see [AMD-ROCm-github]_).
.. _amdgpu-amdhsa-hsa-aql-queue:
HSA AQL Queue
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The HSA AQL queue structure is defined by the ROCm runtime and subject to change
between releases (see [AMD-ROCm-github]_). For some processors it contains
fields needed to implement certain language features such as the flat address
aperture bases. It also contains fields used by CP such as managing the
allocation of scratch memory.

.. _amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state:
Initial Kernel Execution State
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This section defines the register state that will be set up by the packet
processor prior to the start of execution of every wavefront. This is limited by
the constraints of the hardware controllers of CP/ADC/SPI.
The order of the SGPR registers is defined, but the compiler can specify which
ones are actually setup in the kernel descriptor using the ``enable_sgpr_*`` bit
fields (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`). The register numbers used
for enabled registers are dense starting at SGPR0: the first enabled register is
SGPR0, the next enabled register is SGPR1 etc.; disabled registers do not have
an SGPR number.
The initial SGPRs comprise up to 16 User SRGPs that are set by CP and apply to
all waves of the grid. It is possible to specify more than 16 User SGPRs using
the ``enable_sgpr_*`` bit fields, in which case only the first 16 are actually
initialized. These are then immediately followed by the System SGPRs that are
set up by ADC/SPI and can have different values for each wave of the grid
dispatch.
SGPR register initial state is defined in
:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-sgpr-register-set-up-order-table`.

First Private Segment Buffer 4 V# that can be used, together
(enable_sgpr_private with Scratch Wave Offset as an
_segment_buffer) offset, to access the private
memory space using a segment
address.
CP uses the value provided by
the runtime.
then Dispatch Ptr 2 64 bit address of AQL dispatch
(enable_sgpr_dispatch_ptr) packet for kernel dispatch
actually executing.
then Queue Ptr 2 64 bit address of amd_queue_t
(enable_sgpr_queue_ptr) object for AQL queue on which
the dispatch packet was
queued.
then Kernarg Segment Ptr 2 64 bit address of Kernarg
(enable_sgpr_kernarg segment. This is directly
_segment_ptr) copied from the
kernarg_address in the kernel
dispatch packet.
Having CP load it once avoids
loading it at the beginning of
every wavefront.
then Dispatch Id 2 64 bit Dispatch ID of the
(enable_sgpr_dispatch_id) dispatch packet being
executed.
then Flat Scratch Init 2 This is 2 SGPRs:
(enable_sgpr_flat_scratch
_init) GFX6
Not supported.
GFX7-GFX8
The first SGPR is a 32 bit
byte offset from
``SH_HIDDEN_PRIVATE_BASE_VIMID``
to per SPI base of memory
for scratch for the queue
executing the kernel
dispatch. CP obtains this
from the runtime. (The
Scratch Segment Buffer base
address is
``SH_HIDDEN_PRIVATE_BASE_VIMID``
plus this offset.) The value
of Scratch Wave Offset must
be added to this offset by
the kernel machine code,
right shifted by 8, and
moved to the FLAT_SCRATCH_HI
SGPR register.
FLAT_SCRATCH_HI corresponds
to SGPRn-4 on GFX7, and
SGPRn-6 on GFX8 (where SGPRn
is the highest numbered SGPR
allocated to the wave).
FLAT_SCRATCH_HI is
multiplied by 256 (as it is
in units of 256 bytes) and
added to
``SH_HIDDEN_PRIVATE_BASE_VIMID``
to calculate the per wave
FLAT SCRATCH BASE in flat
memory instructions that
access the scratch
apperture.
The second SGPR is 32 bit
byte size of a single
work-item's scratch memory
usage. CP obtains this from
the runtime, and it is
always a multiple of DWORD.
CP checks that the value in
the kernel dispatch packet
Private Segment Byte Size is
not larger, and requests the
runtime to increase the
queue's scratch size if
necessary. The kernel code
must move it to
FLAT_SCRATCH_LO which is
SGPRn-3 on GFX7 and SGPRn-5
on GFX8. FLAT_SCRATCH_LO is
used as the FLAT SCRATCH
SIZE in flat memory
instructions. Having CP load
it once avoids loading it at
the beginning of every
wavefront.
GFX9
This is the
64 bit base address of the
per SPI scratch backing
memory managed by SPI for
the queue executing the
kernel dispatch. CP obtains
this from the runtime (and
divides it if there are
multiple Shader Arrays each
with its own SPI). The value
of Scratch Wave Offset must
be added by the kernel
machine code and the result
moved to the FLAT_SCRATCH
SGPR which is SGPRn-6 and
SGPRn-5. It is used as the
FLAT SCRATCH BASE in flat
memory instructions.
then Private Segment Size 1 The 32 bit byte size of a
(enable_sgpr_private single
work-item's
scratch_segment_size) memory
allocation. This is the
value from the kernel
dispatch packet Private
Segment Byte Size rounded up
by CP to a multiple of
DWORD.
Having CP load it once avoids
loading it at the beginning of
every wavefront.
This is not used for
GFX7-GFX8 since it is the same
value as the second SGPR of
Flat Scratch Init. However, it
may be needed for GFX9 which
changes the meaning of the
Flat Scratch Init value.
then Grid Work-Group Count X 1 32 bit count of the number of
(enable_sgpr_grid work-groups in the X dimension
_workgroup_count_X) for the grid being
executed. Computed from the
fields in the kernel dispatch
packet as ((grid_size.x +
workgroup_size.x - 1) /
workgroup_size.x).
then Grid Work-Group Count Y 1 32 bit count of the number of
(enable_sgpr_grid work-groups in the Y dimension
_workgroup_count_Y && for the grid being
less than 16 previous executed. Computed from the
SGPRs) fields in the kernel dispatch
packet as ((grid_size.y +
workgroup_size.y - 1) /
workgroupSize.y).
Only initialized if <16
previous SGPRs initialized.
then Grid Work-Group Count Z 1 32 bit count of the number of
(enable_sgpr_grid work-groups in the Z dimension
_workgroup_count_Z && for the grid being
less than 16 previous executed. Computed from the
SGPRs) fields in the kernel dispatch
packet as ((grid_size.z +
workgroup_size.z - 1) /
workgroupSize.z).
Only initialized if <16
previous SGPRs initialized.
then Work-Group Id X 1 32 bit work-group id in X
(enable_sgpr_workgroup_id dimension of grid for
_X) wavefront.
then Work-Group Id Y 1 32 bit work-group id in Y
(enable_sgpr_workgroup_id dimension of grid for
_Y) wavefront.
then Work-Group Id Z 1 32 bit work-group id in Z
(enable_sgpr_workgroup_id dimension of grid for
_Z) wavefront.
then Work-Group Info 1 {first_wave, 14'b0000,
(enable_sgpr_workgroup ordered_append_term[10:0],
_info) threadgroup_size_in_waves[5:0]}
then Scratch Wave Offset 1 32 bit byte offset from base
(enable_sgpr_private of scratch base of queue
_segment_wave_offset) executing the kernel
dispatch. Must be used as an
offset with Private
segment address when using
Scratch Segment Buffer. It
must be used to set up FLAT
SCRATCH for flat addressing
(see
:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-flat-scratch`).
========== ========================== ====== ==============================
The order of the VGPR registers is defined, but the compiler can specify which
ones are actually setup in the kernel descriptor using the ``enable_vgpr*`` bit
fields (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`). The register numbers used
for enabled registers are dense starting at VGPR0: the first enabled register is
VGPR0, the next enabled register is VGPR1 etc.; disabled registers do not have a
VGPR number.

First Work-Item Id X 1 32 bit work item id in X
(Always initialized) dimension of work-group for
wavefront lane.
then Work-Item Id Y 1 32 bit work item id in Y
(enable_vgpr_workitem_id dimension of work-group for
> 0) wavefront lane.
then Work-Item Id Z 1 32 bit work item id in Z
(enable_vgpr_workitem_id dimension of work-group for
> 1) wavefront lane.
========== ========================== ====== ==============================
The setting of registers is is done by GPU CP/ADC/SPI hardware as follows:
1. SGPRs before the Work-Group Ids are set by CP using the 16 User Data
registers.
2. Work-group Id registers X, Y, Z are set by ADC which supports any
combination including none.
3. Scratch Wave Offset is set by SPI in a per wave basis which is why its value
cannot included with the flat scratch init value which is per queue.
4. The VGPRs are set by SPI which only supports specifying either (X), (X, Y)
or (X, Y, Z).
Flat Scratch register pair are adjacent SGRRs so they can be moved as a 64 bit
value to the hardware required SGPRn-3 and SGPRn-4 respectively.
The global segment can be accessed either using buffer instructions (GFX6 which
has V# 64 bit address support), flat instructions (GFX7-GFX9), or global
instructions (GFX9).
If buffer operations are used then the compiler can generate a V# with the
following properties:
* base address of 0
* no swizzle
* ATC: 1 if IOMMU present (such as APU)
* ptr64: 1
* MTYPE set to support memory coherence that matches the runtime (such as CC for
APU and NC for dGPU).
.. _amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog:
Kernel Prolog
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. _amdgpu-amdhsa-m0:
M0
++
GFX6-GFX8
The M0 register must be initialized with a value at least the total LDS size
if the kernel may access LDS via DS or flat operations. Total LDS size is
available in dispatch packet. For M0, it is also possible to use maximum
possible value of LDS for given target (0x7FFF for GFX6 and 0xFFFF for
GFX7-GFX8).
GFX9
The M0 register is not used for range checking LDS accesses and so does not
need to be initialized in the prolog.
.. _amdgpu-amdhsa-flat-scratch:
Flat Scratch
++++++++++++
If the kernel may use flat operations to access scratch memory, the prolog code
must set up FLAT_SCRATCH register pair (FLAT_SCRATCH_LO/FLAT_SCRATCH_HI which
are in SGPRn-4/SGPRn-3). Initialization uses Flat Scratch Init and Scratch Wave
Offset SGPR registers (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`):
GFX6
Flat scratch is not supported.
GFX7-GFX8
1. The low word of Flat Scratch Init is 32 bit byte offset from
``SH_HIDDEN_PRIVATE_BASE_VIMID`` to the base of scratch backing memory
being managed by SPI for the queue executing the kernel dispatch. This is
the same value used in the Scratch Segment Buffer V# base address. The
prolog must add the value of Scratch Wave Offset to get the wave's byte
scratch backing memory offset from ``SH_HIDDEN_PRIVATE_BASE_VIMID``. Since
FLAT_SCRATCH_LO is in units of 256 bytes, the offset must be right shifted
by 8 before moving into FLAT_SCRATCH_LO.
2. The second word of Flat Scratch Init is 32 bit byte size of a single
work-items scratch memory usage. This is directly loaded from the kernel
dispatch packet Private Segment Byte Size and rounded up to a multiple of
DWORD. Having CP load it once avoids loading it at the beginning of every
wavefront. The prolog must move it to FLAT_SCRATCH_LO for use as FLAT SCRATCH
SIZE.
GFX9
The Flat Scratch Init is the 64 bit address of the base of scratch backing
memory being managed by SPI for the queue executing the kernel dispatch. The
prolog must add the value of Scratch Wave Offset and moved to the FLAT_SCRATCH
pair for use as the flat scratch base in flat memory instructions.
.. _amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model:
Memory Model
~~~~~~~~~~~~
This section describes the mapping of LLVM memory model onto AMDGPU machine code
(see :ref:`memmodel`). *The implementation is WIP.*
.. TODO
Update when implementation complete.
The AMDGPU backend supports the memory synchronization scopes specified in
:ref:`amdgpu-memory-scopes`.
The code sequences used to implement the memory model are defined in table
:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model-code-sequences-gfx6-gfx9-table`.
The sequences specify the order of instructions that a single thread must
execute. The ``s_waitcnt`` and ``buffer_wbinvl1_vol`` are defined with respect
to other memory instructions executed by the same thread. This allows them to be
moved earlier or later which can allow them to be combined with other instances
of the same instruction, or hoisted/sunk out of loops to improve
performance. Only the instructions related to the memory model are given;
additional ``s_waitcnt`` instructions are required to ensure registers are
defined before being used. These may be able to be combined with the memory
model ``s_waitcnt`` instructions as described above.
The AMDGPU backend supports the following memory models:
HSA Memory Model [HSA]_
The HSA memory model uses a single happens-before relation for all address
spaces (see :ref:`amdgpu-address-spaces`).
OpenCL Memory Model [OpenCL]_
The OpenCL memory model which has separate happens-before relations for the
global and local address spaces. Only a fence specifying both global and
local address space, and seq_cst instructions join the relationships. Since
the LLVM ``memfence`` instruction does not allow an address space to be
specified the OpenCL fence has to convervatively assume both local and
global address space was specified. However, optimizations can often be
done to eliminate the additional ``s_waitcnt`` instructions when there are
no intervening memory instructions which access the corresponding address
space. The code sequences in the table indicate what can be omitted for the
OpenCL memory. The target triple environment is used to determine if the
source language is OpenCL (see :ref:`amdgpu-opencl`).
``ds/flat_load/store/atomic`` instructions to local memory are termed LDS
operations.
``buffer/global/flat_load/store/atomic`` instructions to global memory are
termed vector memory operations.
For GFX6-GFX9:
* Each agent has multiple compute units (CU).
* Each CU has multiple SIMDs that execute wavefronts.
* The wavefronts for a single work-group are executed in the same CU but may be
executed by different SIMDs.
* Each CU has a single LDS memory shared by the wavefronts of the work-groups
executing on it.
* All LDS operations of a CU are performed as wavefront wide operations in a
global order and involve no caching. Completion is reported to a wavefront in
execution order.
* The LDS memory has multiple request queues shared by the SIMDs of a
CU. Therefore, the LDS operations performed by different waves of a work-group
can be reordered relative to each other, which can result in reordering the
visibility of vector memory operations with respect to LDS operations of other
wavefronts in the same work-group. A ``s_waitcnt lgkmcnt(0)`` is required to
ensure synchronization between LDS operations and vector memory operations
between waves of a work-group, but not between operations performed by the
same wavefront.
* The vector memory operations are performed as wavefront wide operations and
completion is reported to a wavefront in execution order. The exception is
that for GFX7-GFX9 ``flat_load/store/atomic`` instructions can report out of
vector memory order if they access LDS memory, and out of LDS operation order
if they access global memory.
* The vector memory operations access a single vector L1 cache shared by all
SIMDs a CU. Therefore, no special action is required for coherence between the
lanes of a single wavefront, or for coherence between wavefronts in the same
work-group. A ``buffer_wbinvl1_vol`` is required for coherence between waves
executing in different work-groups as they may be executing on different CUs.
* The scalar memory operations access a scalar L1 cache shared by all wavefronts
on a group of CUs. The scalar and vector L1 caches are not coherent. However,
scalar operations are used in a restricted way so do not impact the memory
model. See :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-spaces`.
* The vector and scalar memory operations use an L2 cache shared by all CUs on
the same agent.
* The L2 cache has independent channels to service disjoint ranges of virtual
addresses.
* Each CU has a separate request queue per channel. Therefore, the vector and
scalar memory operations performed by waves executing in different work-groups
(which may be executing on different CUs) of an agent can be reordered
relative to each other. A ``s_waitcnt vmcnt(0)`` is required to ensure
synchronization between vector memory operations of different CUs. It ensures a
previous vector memory operation has completed before executing a subsequent
vector memory or LDS operation and so can be used to meet the requirements of
acquire and release.
* The L2 cache can be kept coherent with other agents on some targets, or ranges
of virtual addresses can be set up to bypass it to ensure system coherence.
Private address space uses ``buffer_load/store`` using the scratch V# (GFX6-GFX8),
or ``scratch_load/store`` (GFX9). Since only a single thread is accessing the
memory, atomic memory orderings are not meaningful and all accesses are treated
as non-atomic.
Constant address space uses ``buffer/global_load`` instructions (or equivalent
scalar memory instructions). Since the constant address space contents do not
change during the execution of a kernel dispatch it is not legal to perform
stores, and atomic memory orderings are not meaningful and all access are
treated as non-atomic.
A memory synchronization scope wider than work-group is not meaningful for the
group (LDS) address space and is treated as work-group.
The memory model does not support the region address space which is treated as
non-atomic.
Acquire memory ordering is not meaningful on store atomic instructions and is
treated as non-atomic.
Release memory ordering is not meaningful on load atomic instructions and is
treated a non-atomic.
Acquire-release memory ordering is not meaningful on load or store atomic
instructions and is treated as acquire and release respectively.
AMDGPU backend only uses scalar memory operations to access memory that is
proven to not change during the execution of the kernel dispatch. This includes
constant address space and global address space for program scope const
variables. Therefore the kernel machine code does not have to maintain the
scalar L1 cache to ensure it is coherent with the vector L1 cache. The scalar
and vector L1 caches are invalidated between kernel dispatches by CP since
constant address space data may change between kernel dispatch executions. See
:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-spaces`.
The one execption is if scalar writes are used to spill SGPR registers. In this
case the AMDGPU backend ensures the memory location used to spill is never
accessed by vector memory operations at the same time. If scalar writes are used
then a ``s_dcache_wb`` is inserted before the ``s_endpgm`` and before a function
return since the locations may be used for vector memory instructions by a
future wave that uses the same scratch area, or a function call that creates a
frame at the same address, respectively. There is no need for a ``s_dcache_inv``
as all scalar writes are write-before-read in the same thread.
Scratch backing memory (which is used for the private address space)
is accessed with MTYPE NC_NV (non-coherenent non-volatile). Since the private
address space is only accessed by a single thread, and is always
write-before-read, there is never a need to invalidate these entries from the L1
cache. Hence all cache invalidates are done as ``*_vol`` to only invalidate the
volatile cache lines.
On dGPU the kernarg backing memory is accessed as UC (uncached) to avoid needing
to invalidate the L2 cache. This also causes it to be treated as
non-volatile and so is not invalidated by ``*_vol``. On APU it is accessed as CC
(cache coherent) and so the L2 cache will coherent with the CPU and other
agents.

For code objects generated by AMDGPU backend for non-amdhsa OS, the runtime does
not install a trap handler. The ``llvm.trap`` and ``llvm.debugtrap``
instructions are handled as follows:

.. _amdgpu-opencl:
OpenCL
------
When generating code for the OpenCL language the target triple environment
should be ``opencl`` or ``amdgizcl`` (see :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`).
When the language is OpenCL the following differences occur:
1. The OpenCL memory model is used (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model`).
2. The AMDGPU backend adds additional arguments to the kernel.
3. Additional metadata is generated
(:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-hsa-code-object-metadata`).
.. TODO
Specify what affect this has. Hidden arguments added. Additional metadata
generated.
.. _amdgpu-hcc:
HCC
---
When generating code for the OpenCL language the target triple environment
should be ``hcc`` (see :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`).
When the language is OpenCL the following differences occur:
1. The HSA memory model is used (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model`).
.. TODO
Specify what affect this has.
Assembler
---------
AMDGPU backend has LLVM-MC based assembler which is currently in development.
It supports AMDGCN GFX6-GFX9.

of SOPP Instructions, so it is up to the programmer to be familiar with the
range or acceptable values.
VALU
++++
For vector ALU instruction opcodes (VOP1, VOP2, VOP3, VOPC, VOP_DPP, VOP_SDWA),
the assembler will automatically use optimal encoding based on its operands.
To force specific encoding, one can add a suffix to the opcode of the instruction:
* _e32 for 32-bit VOP1/VOP2/VOPC
* _e64 for 64-bit VOP3
* _dpp for VOP_DPP
* _sdwa for VOP_SDWA

HSA Code Object Directives
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AMDGPU ABI defines auxiliary data in output code object. In assembly source,
one can specify them with assembler directives.
.hsa_code_object_version major, minor
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
*major* and *minor* are integers that specify the version of the HSA code
object that will be generated by the assembler.
.hsa_code_object_isa [major, minor, stepping, vendor, arch]
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
*major*, *minor*, and *stepping* are all integers that describe the instruction
set architecture (ISA) version of the assembly program.
*vendor* and *arch* are quoted strings. *vendor* should always be equal to
"AMD" and *arch* should always be equal to "AMDGPU".
By default, the assembler will derive the ISA version, *vendor*, and *arch*
from the value of the -mcpu option that is passed to the assembler.
.amdgpu_hsa_kernel (name)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
This directives specifies that the symbol with given name is a kernel entry point
(label) and the object should contain corresponding symbol of type STT_AMDGPU_HSA_KERNEL.
.amd_kernel_code_t
++++++++++++++++++
This directive marks the beginning of a list of key / value pairs that are used
to specify the amd_kernel_code_t object that will be emitted by the assembler.
The list must be terminated by the *.end_amd_kernel_code_t* directive. For
any amd_kernel_code_t values that are unspecified a default value will be
used. The default value for all keys is 0, with the following exceptions:
- *kernel_code_version_major* defaults to 1.
- *machine_kind* defaults to 1.
- *machine_version_major*, *machine_version_minor*, and
*machine_version_stepping* are derived from the value of the -mcpu option
that is passed to the assembler.
- *kernel_code_entry_byte_offset* defaults to 256.
- *wavefront_size* defaults to 6.
- *kernarg_segment_alignment*, *group_segment_alignment*, and
*private_segment_alignment* default to 4. Note that alignments are specified
as a power of two, so a value of **n** means an alignment of 2^ **n**.
The *.amd_kernel_code_t* directive must be placed immediately after the
function label and before any instructions.
For a full list of amd_kernel_code_t keys, refer to AMDGPU ABI document,
comments in lib/Target/AMDGPU/AmdKernelCodeT.h and test/CodeGen/AMDGPU/hsa.s.
Here is an example of a minimal amd_kernel_code_t specification:
.. code-block:: none
