TODO:: Add product names. =========== =============== ============ ===== ================= =============== =============== ====================== .. _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 is listed in :ref:`amdgpu-processor-table`. Target features are controlled by exactly one of the following Clang options: ``-mcpu=`` or ``--offload-arch=`` The ``-mcpu`` and ``--offload-arch`` can specify the target feature as optional components of the target ID. If omitted, the target feature has the ``any`` value. See :ref:`amdgpu-target-id`. ``-m[no-]`` Target features not specified by the target ID are specified using a separate option. These target features can have an ``on`` or ``off`` value. ``on`` is specified by omitting the ``no-`` prefix, and ``off`` is specified by including the ``no-`` prefix. The default if not specified is ``off``. For example: ``-mcpu=gfx908:xnack+`` Enable the ``xnack`` feature. ``-mcpu=gfx908:xnack-`` Disable the ``xnack`` feature. ``-mcumode`` Enable the ``cumode`` feature. ``-mno-cumode`` Disable the ``cumode`` feature. .. table:: AMDGPU Target Features :name: amdgpu-target-features-table =============== ============================ ================================================== Target Feature Clang Option to Control Description Name =============== ============================ ================================================== cumode - ``-m[no-]cumode`` Control the wavefront execution mode used when generating code for kernels. When disabled native WGP wavefront execution mode is used, when enabled CU wavefront execution mode is used (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model`). sramecc - ``-mcpu`` If specified, generate code that can only be - ``--offload-arch`` loaded and executed in a process that has a matching setting for SRAMECC. If not specified for code object V2 to V3, generate code that can be loaded and executed in a process with SRAMECC enabled. If not specified for code object V4, generate code that can be loaded and executed in a process with either setting of SRAMECC. tgsplit ``-m[no-]tgsplit`` Enable/disable generating code that assumes work-groups are launched in threadgroup split mode. When enabled the waves of a work-group may be launched in different CUs. wavefrontsize64 - ``-m[no-]wavefrontsize64`` Control the wavefront size used when generating code for kernels. When disabled native wavefront size 32 is used, when enabled wavefront size 64 is used. xnack - ``-mcpu`` If specified, generate code that can only be - ``--offload-arch`` loaded and executed in a process that has a matching setting for XNACK replay. If not specified for code object V2 to V3, generate code that can be loaded and executed in a process with XNACK replay enabled. If not specified for code object V4, generate code that can be loaded and executed in a process with either setting of XNACK replay. XNACK replay can be used for demand paging and page migration. If enabled in the device, then if a page fault occurs the code may execute incorrectly unless generated with XNACK replay enabled, or generated for code object V4 without specifying XNACK replay. Executing code that was generated with XNACK replay enabled, or generated for code object V4 without specifying XNACK replay, on a device that does not have XNACK replay enabled will execute correctly but may be less performant than code generated for XNACK replay disabled. =============== ============================ ================================================== .. _amdgpu-target-id: Target ID --------- AMDGPU supports target IDs. See `Clang Offload Bundler `_ for a general description. The AMDGPU target specific information is: **processor** Is an AMDGPU processor or alternative processor name specified in :ref:`amdgpu-processor-table`. The non-canonical form target ID allows both the primary processor and alternative processor names. The canonical form target ID only allow the primary processor name. **target-feature** Is a target feature name specified in :ref:`amdgpu-target-features-table` that is supported by the processor. The target features supported by each processor is specified in :ref:`amdgpu-processor-table`. Those that can be specified in a target ID are marked as being controlled by ``-mcpu`` and ``--offload-arch``. Each target feature must appear at most once in a target ID. The non-canonical form target ID allows the target features to be specified in any order. The canonical form target ID requires the target features to be specified in alphabetic order. .. _amdgpu-target-id-v2-v3: Code Object V2 to V3 Target ID ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The target ID syntax for code object V2 to V3 is the same as defined in `Clang Offload Bundler `_ except when used in the :ref:`amdgpu-assembler-directive-amdgcn-target` assembler directive and the bundle entry ID. In those cases it has the following BNF syntax: .. code:: ::== ( "+" )* Where a target feature is omitted if *Off* and present if *On* or *Any*. .. note:: The code object V2 to V3 cannot represent *Any* and treats it the same as *On*. .. _amdgpu-embedding-bundled-objects: Embedding Bundled Code Objects ------------------------------ AMDGPU supports the HIP and OpenMP languages that perform code object embedding as described in `Clang Offload Bundler `_. .. note:: The target ID syntax used for code object V2 to V3 for a bundle entry ID differs from that used elsewhere. See :ref:`amdgpu-target-id-v2-v3`. .. _amdgpu-address-spaces: Address Spaces -------------- The AMDGPU architecture supports a number of memory address spaces. The address space names use the OpenCL standard names, with some additions. The AMDGPU address spaces correspond to target architecture specific LLVM address space numbers used in LLVM IR. The AMDGPU address spaces are described in :ref:`amdgpu-address-spaces-table`. Only 64-bit process address spaces are supported for the ``amdgcn`` target. .. table:: AMDGPU Address Spaces :name: amdgpu-address-spaces-table ================================= =============== =========== ================ ======= ============================ .. 64-Bit Process Address Space --------------------------------- --------------- ----------- ---------------- ------------------------------------ Address Space Name LLVM IR Address HSA Segment Hardware Address NULL Value Space Number Name Name Size ================================= =============== =========== ================ ======= ============================ Generic 0 flat flat 64 0x0000000000000000 Global 1 global global 64 0x0000000000000000 Region 2 N/A GDS 32 *not implemented for AMDHSA* Local 3 group LDS 32 0xFFFFFFFF Constant 4 constant *same as global* 64 0x0000000000000000 Private 5 private scratch 32 0xFFFFFFFF Constant 32-bit 6 *TODO* 0x00000000 Buffer Fat Pointer (experimental) 7 *TODO* ================================= =============== =========== ================ ======= ============================ **Generic** The generic address space is supported unless the *Target Properties* column of :ref:`amdgpu-processor-table` specifies *Does not support generic address space*. The generic address space uses the hardware flat address support for two fixed ranges of virtual addresses (the private and local apertures), that are outside the range of addressable global memory, to map from a flat address to a private or local address. This uses FLAT instructions that can take a flat address and access global, private (scratch), and group (LDS) memory depending on if the address is within one of the aperture ranges. Flat access to scratch requires hardware aperture setup and setup in the kernel prologue (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog-flat-scratch`). Flat access to LDS requires hardware aperture setup and M0 (GFX7-GFX8) register setup (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog-m0`). To convert between a private or group address space address (termed a segment address) and a flat address the base address of the corresponding aperture 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-GFX10 the aperture base addresses are directly available as inline constant registers ``SRC_SHARED_BASE/LIMIT`` and ``SRC_PRIVATE_BASE/LIMIT``. In 64-bit address mode the aperture 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. A global address space address has the same value when used as a flat address so no conversion is needed. **Global and Constant** The global and constant address 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 address space indicates that the data will not change during the execution of the kernel. This allows scalar read instructions to be used. As the constant address space could only be modified on the host side, a generic pointer loaded from the constant address space is safe to be assumed as a global pointer since only the device global memory is visible and managed on the host side. 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. **Region** The region address space uses the hardware Global Data Store (GDS). All wavefronts executing on the same device will access the same memory for any given region address. However, the same region address accessed by wavefronts executing on different devices will access different memory. It is higher performance than global memory. It is allocated by the runtime. The data store (DS) instructions can be used to access it. **Local** The local address space uses the hardware Local Data Store (LDS) which is automatically allocated when the hardware creates the wavefronts of a work-group, and freed when all the wavefronts of a work-group have terminated. All wavefronts belonging to the same work-group will access the same memory for any given local address. However, the same local address accessed by wavefronts belonging to different work-groups will access different memory. It is higher performance than global memory. The data store (DS) instructions can be used to access it. **Private** The private address space uses the hardware scratch memory support which automatically allocates memory when it creates a wavefront and frees it when a wavefronts terminates. The memory accessed by a lane of a wavefront for any given private address will be different to the memory accessed by another lane of the same or different wavefront for the same private address. If a kernel dispatch uses scratch, then the hardware allocates memory from a pool of backing memory allocated by the runtime for each wavefront. The lanes of the wavefront access this using dword (4 byte) interleaving. The mapping used from private address to backing memory address is: ``wavefront-scratch-base + ((private-address / 4) * wavefront-size * 4) + (wavefront-lane-id * 4) + (private-address % 4)`` 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. There are different ways that the wavefront scratch base address is determined by a wavefront (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`). Scratch memory can be accessed in an interleaved manner using buffer instructions with the scratch buffer descriptor and per wavefront scratch offset, by the scratch instructions, or by flat instructions. Multi-dword access is not supported except by flat and scratch instructions in GFX9-GFX10. **Constant 32-bit** *TODO* **Buffer Fat Pointer** The buffer fat pointer is an experimental address space that is currently unsupported in the backend. It exposes a non-integral pointer that is in the future intended to support the modelling of 128-bit buffer descriptors plus a 32-bit offset into the buffer (in total encapsulating a 160-bit *pointer*), allowing normal LLVM load/store/atomic operations to be used to model the buffer descriptors used heavily in graphics workloads targeting the backend. .. _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 synchronizes-with relation independent of scope and synchronizes-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``.

Generated as position independent code. See :ref:`amdgpu-code-conventions` for information on conventions used in the isa generation. .. _amdgpu-note-records: Note Records ------------ The AMDGPU backend code object contains ELF note records in the ``.note`` section. The set of generated notes and their semantics depend on the code object version; see :ref:`amdgpu-note-records-v2` and :ref:`amdgpu-note-records-v3-v4`. 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. .. _amdgpu-note-records-v2: Code Object V2 Note Records ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. warning:: Code object V2 is not the default code object version emitted by this version of LLVM.

The description field has the following layout: .. code:: c struct amdgpu_hsa_note_hsail_s { uint32_t hsail_major_version; uint32_t hsail_minor_version; uint8_t profile; uint8_t machine_model; uint8_t default_float_round; }; ``NT_AMD_HSA_ISA_VERSION`` Specifies the target ISA version.

This note record is used by the HSA runtime loader. Code object V2 only supports a limited number of processors and has fixed settings for target features. See :ref:`amdgpu-elf-note-record-supported_processors-v2-table` for a list of processors and the corresponding target ID. In the table the note record ISA name is a concatenation of the vendor name, architecture name, major, minor, and stepping separated by a ":". The target ID column shows the processor name and fixed target features used by the LLVM compiler. The LLVM compiler does not generate a ``NT_AMD_HSA_HSAIL`` note record. A code object generated by the Finalizer also uses code object V2 and always generates a ``NT_AMD_HSA_HSAIL`` note record. The processor name and ``sramecc`` target feature is as shown in :ref:`amdgpu-elf-note-record-supported_processors-v2-table` but the ``xnack`` target feature is specified by the ``EF_AMDGPU_FEATURE_XNACK_V2`` ``e_flags`` bit. ``NT_AMD_HSA_ISA_NAME`` Specifies the target ISA name as a non-NUL terminated string. This note record is not used by the HSA runtime loader. See the ``NT_AMD_HSA_ISA_VERSION`` note record description of the code object V2's limited support of processors and fixed settings for target features. See :ref:`amdgpu-elf-note-record-supported_processors-v2-table` for a mapping from the string to the corresponding target ID. If the ``xnack`` target feature is supported and enabled, the string produced by the LLVM compiler will may have a ``+xnack`` appended. The Finlizer did not do the appending and instead used the ``EF_AMDGPU_FEATURE_XNACK_V2`` ``e_flags`` bit. ``NT_AMD_HSA_METADATA`` Specifies extensible metadata associated with the code objects executed on HSA [HSA]_ compatible runtimes (see :ref:`amdgpu-os`). It is required when the target triple OS is ``amdhsa`` (see :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`).

If the symbol is defined in the compilation unit then it is allocated in the appropriate section according to if it has initialized data or is readonly. If the symbol is external then its section is ``STN_UNDEF`` and the loader will resolve relocations using the definition provided by another code object or explicitly defined by the runtime. If the symbol resides in local/group memory (LDS) then its section is the special processor specific section name ``SHN_AMDGPU_LDS``, and the ``st_value`` field describes alignment requirements as it does for common symbols. .. 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 AMDGPU 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 AMDGPU 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: .. table:: AMDGPU ELF Relocation Records :name: amdgpu-elf-relocation-records-table ========================== ======= ===== ========== ============================== Relocation Type Kind Value Field Calculation ========================== ======= ===== ========== ============================== ``R_AMDGPU_NONE`` 0 *none* *none* ``R_AMDGPU_ABS32_LO`` Static, 1 ``word32`` (S + A) & 0xFFFFFFFF Dynamic ``R_AMDGPU_ABS32_HI`` Static, 2 ``word32`` (S + A) >> 32 Dynamic ``R_AMDGPU_ABS64`` Static, 3 ``word64`` S + A Dynamic ``R_AMDGPU_REL32`` Static 4 ``word32`` S + A - P ``R_AMDGPU_REL64`` Static 5 ``word64`` S + A - P ``R_AMDGPU_ABS32`` Static, 6 ``word32`` S + A Dynamic ``R_AMDGPU_GOTPCREL`` Static 7 ``word32`` G + GOT + A - P ``R_AMDGPU_GOTPCREL32_LO`` Static 8 ``word32`` (G + GOT + A - P) & 0xFFFFFFFF ``R_AMDGPU_GOTPCREL32_HI`` Static 9 ``word32`` (G + GOT + A - P) >> 32 ``R_AMDGPU_REL32_LO`` Static 10 ``word32`` (S + A - P) & 0xFFFFFFFF ``R_AMDGPU_REL32_HI`` Static 11 ``word32`` (S + A - P) >> 32 *reserved* 12 ``R_AMDGPU_RELATIVE64`` Dynamic 13 ``word64`` B + A ``R_AMDGPU_REL16`` Static 14 ``word16`` ((S + A - P) - 4) / 4 ========================== ======= ===== ========== ============================== ``R_AMDGPU_ABS32_LO`` and ``R_AMDGPU_ABS32_HI`` are only supported by the ``mesa3d`` OS, which does not support ``R_AMDGPU_ABS64``. There is no current OS loader support for 32-bit programs and so ``R_AMDGPU_ABS32`` is not used. .. _amdgpu-loaded-code-object-path-uniform-resource-identifier: Loaded Code Object Path Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) --------------------------------------------------------- The AMD GPU code object loader represents the path of the ELF shared object from which the code object was loaded as a textual Unifom Resource Identifier (URI). Note that the code object is the in memory loaded relocated form of the ELF shared object. Multiple code objects may be loaded at different memory addresses in the same process from the same ELF shared object. The loaded code object path URI syntax is defined by the following BNF syntax: .. code:: code_object_uri ::== file_uri | memory_uri file_uri ::== "file://" file_path [ range_specifier ] memory_uri ::== "memory://" process_id range_specifier range_specifier ::== [ "#" | "?" ] "offset=" number "&" "size=" number file_path ::== URI_ENCODED_OS_FILE_PATH process_id ::== DECIMAL_NUMBER number ::== HEX_NUMBER | DECIMAL_NUMBER | OCTAL_NUMBER **number** Is a C integral literal where hexadecimal values are prefixed by "0x" or "0X", and octal values by "0". **file_path** Is the file's path specified as a URI encoded UTF-8 string. In URI encoding, every character that is not in the regular expression ``[a-zA-Z0-9/_.~-]`` is encoded as two uppercase hexadecimal digits proceeded by "%". Directories in the path are separated by "/". **offset** Is a 0-based byte offset to the start of the code object. For a file URI, it is from the start of the file specified by the ``file_path``, and if omitted defaults to 0. For a memory URI, it is the memory address and is required. **size** Is the number of bytes in the code object. For a file URI, if omitted it defaults to the size of the file. It is required for a memory URI. **process_id** Is the identity of the process owning the memory. For Linux it is the C unsigned integral decimal literal for the process ID (PID). For example: .. code:: file:///dir1/dir2/file1 file:///dir3/dir4/file2#offset=0x2000&size=3000 memory://1234#offset=0x20000&size=3000 .. _amdgpu-dwarf-debug-information: DWARF Debug Information ======================= .. warning:: This section describes **provisional support** for AMDGPU DWARF [DWARF]_ that is not currently fully implemented and is subject to change. AMDGPU generates DWARF [DWARF]_ debugging information ELF sections (see :ref:`amdgpu-elf-code-object`) which 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. It uses features defined in :doc:`AMDGPUDwarfExtensionsForHeterogeneousDebugging` that are made available in DWARF Version 4 and DWARF Version 5 as an LLVM vendor extension. This section defines the AMDGPU target architecture specific DWARF mappings. .. _amdgpu-dwarf-register-identifier: Register Identifier ------------------- This section defines the AMDGPU target architecture register numbers used in DWARF operation expressions (see DWARF Version 5 section 2.5 and :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-operation-expressions`) and Call Frame Information instructions (see DWARF Version 5 section 6.4 and :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-call-frame-information`). A single code object can contain code for kernels that have different wavefront sizes. The vector registers and some scalar registers are based on the wavefront size. AMDGPU defines distinct DWARF registers for each wavefront size. This simplifies the consumer of the DWARF so that each register has a fixed size, rather than being dynamic according to the wavefront size mode. Similarly, distinct DWARF registers are defined for those registers that vary in size according to the process address size. This allows a consumer to treat a specific AMDGPU processor as a single architecture regardless of how it is configured at run time. The compiler explicitly specifies the DWARF registers that match the mode in which the code it is generating will be executed. DWARF registers are encoded as numbers, which are mapped to architecture registers. The mapping for AMDGPU is defined in :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-register-mapping-table`. All AMDGPU targets use the same mapping. .. table:: AMDGPU DWARF Register Mapping :name: amdgpu-dwarf-register-mapping-table ============== ================= ======== ================================== DWARF Register AMDGPU Register Bit Size Description ============== ================= ======== ================================== 0 PC_32 32 Program Counter (PC) when executing in a 32-bit process address space.

They are organized as consecutive dwords (32-bits), one per lane, with the dword at the least significant bit position corresponding to lane 0 and so forth. DWARF location expressions involving the ``DW_OP_LLVM_offset`` and ``DW_OP_LLVM_push_lane`` operations are used to select the part of the vector register corresponding to the lane that is executing the current thread of execution in languages that are implemented using a SIMD or SIMT execution model. If the wavefront size is 32 lanes then the wavefront 32 mode register definitions are used. If the wavefront size is 64 lanes then the wavefront 64 mode register definitions are used. Some AMDGPU targets support executing in both wavefront 32 and wavefront 64 mode. The register definitions corresponding to the wavefront mode of the generated code will be used. If code is generated to execute in a 32-bit process address space, then the 32-bit process address space register definitions are used. If code is generated to execute in a 64-bit process address space, then the 64-bit process address space register definitions are used. The ``amdgcn`` target only supports the 64-bit process address space. .. _amdgpu-dwarf-address-class-identifier: Address Class Identifier ------------------------ The DWARF address class represents the source language memory space. See DWARF Version 5 section 2.12 which is updated by the *DWARF Extensions For Heterogeneous Debugging* section :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-segment_addresses`. The DWARF address class mapping used for AMDGPU is defined in :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-address-class-mapping-table`. .. table:: AMDGPU DWARF Address Class Mapping :name: amdgpu-dwarf-address-class-mapping-table ========================= ====== ================= DWARF AMDGPU -------------------------------- ----------------- Address Class Name Value Address Space ========================= ====== ================= ``DW_ADDR_none`` 0x0000 Generic (Flat) ``DW_ADDR_LLVM_global`` 0x0001 Global ``DW_ADDR_LLVM_constant`` 0x0002 Global ``DW_ADDR_LLVM_group`` 0x0003 Local (group/LDS) ``DW_ADDR_LLVM_private`` 0x0004 Private (Scratch) ``DW_ADDR_AMDGPU_region`` 0x8000 Region (GDS) ========================= ====== ================= The DWARF address class values defined in the *DWARF Extensions For Heterogeneous Debugging* section :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-segment_addresses` are used. In addition, ``DW_ADDR_AMDGPU_region`` is encoded as a vendor extension. This is available for use for the AMD extension for access to the hardware GDS memory which is scratchpad memory allocated per device. For AMDGPU if no ``DW_AT_address_class`` attribute is present, then the default address class of ``DW_ADDR_none`` is used. See :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-address-space-identifier` for information on the AMDGPU mapping of DWARF address classes to DWARF address spaces, including address size and NULL value. .. _amdgpu-dwarf-address-space-identifier: Address Space Identifier ------------------------ DWARF address spaces correspond to target architecture specific linear addressable memory areas. See DWARF Version 5 section 2.12 and *DWARF Extensions For Heterogeneous Debugging* section :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-segment_addresses`. The DWARF address space mapping used for AMDGPU is defined in :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-address-space-mapping-table`. .. table:: AMDGPU DWARF Address Space Mapping :name: amdgpu-dwarf-address-space-mapping-table ======================================= ===== ======= ======== ================= ======================= DWARF AMDGPU Notes --------------------------------------- ----- ---------------- ----------------- ----------------------- Address Space Name Value Address Bit Size Address Space --------------------------------------- ----- ------- -------- ----------------- ----------------------- .. 64-bit 32-bit process process address address space space ======================================= ===== ======= ======== ================= ======================= ``DW_ASPACE_none`` 0x00 64 32 Global *default address space* ``DW_ASPACE_AMDGPU_generic`` 0x01 64 32 Generic (Flat) ``DW_ASPACE_AMDGPU_region`` 0x02 32 32 Region (GDS) ``DW_ASPACE_AMDGPU_local`` 0x03 32 32 Local (group/LDS) *Reserved* 0x04 ``DW_ASPACE_AMDGPU_private_lane`` 0x05 32 32 Private (Scratch) *focused lane* ``DW_ASPACE_AMDGPU_private_wave`` 0x06 32 32 Private (Scratch) *unswizzled wavefront* ======================================= ===== ======= ======== ================= ======================= See :ref:`amdgpu-address-spaces` for information on the AMDGPU address spaces including address size and NULL value. The ``DW_ASPACE_none`` address space is the default target architecture address space used in DWARF operations that do not specify an address space. It therefore has to map to the global address space so that the ``DW_OP_addr*`` and related operations can refer to addresses in the program code. The ``DW_ASPACE_AMDGPU_generic`` address space allows location expressions to specify the flat address space. If the address corresponds to an address in the local address space, then it corresponds to the wavefront that is executing the focused thread of execution. If the address corresponds to an address in the private address space, then it corresponds to the lane that is executing the focused thread of execution for languages that are implemented using a SIMD or SIMT execution model. .. note:: CUDA-like languages such as HIP that do not have address spaces in the language type system, but do allow variables to be allocated in different address spaces, need to explicitly specify the ``DW_ASPACE_AMDGPU_generic`` address space in the DWARF expression operations as the default address space is the global address space. The ``DW_ASPACE_AMDGPU_local`` address space allows location expressions to specify the local address space corresponding to the wavefront that is executing the focused thread of execution. The ``DW_ASPACE_AMDGPU_private_lane`` address space allows location expressions to specify the private address space corresponding to the lane that is executing the focused thread of execution for languages that are implemented using a SIMD or SIMT execution model. The ``DW_ASPACE_AMDGPU_private_wave`` address space allows location expressions to specify the unswizzled private address space corresponding to the wavefront that is executing the focused thread of execution. The wavefront view of private memory is the per wavefront unswizzled backing memory layout defined in :ref:`amdgpu-address-spaces`, such that address 0 corresponds to the first location for the backing memory of the wavefront (namely the address is not offset by ``wavefront-scratch-base``). The following formula can be used to convert from a ``DW_ASPACE_AMDGPU_private_lane`` address to a ``DW_ASPACE_AMDGPU_private_wave`` address: :: private-address-wavefront = ((private-address-lane / 4) * wavefront-size * 4) + (wavefront-lane-id * 4) + (private-address-lane % 4) If the ``DW_ASPACE_AMDGPU_private_lane`` address is dword aligned, and the start of the dwords for each lane starting with lane 0 is required, then this simplifies to: :: private-address-wavefront = private-address-lane * wavefront-size A compiler can use the ``DW_ASPACE_AMDGPU_private_wave`` address space to read a complete spilled vector register back into a complete vector register in the CFI. The frame pointer can be a private lane address which is dword aligned, which can be shifted to multiply by the wavefront size, and then used to form a private wavefront address that gives a location for a contiguous set of dwords, one per lane, where the vector register dwords are spilled. The compiler knows the wavefront size since it generates the code. Note that the type of the address may have to be converted as the size of a ``DW_ASPACE_AMDGPU_private_lane`` address may be smaller than the size of a ``DW_ASPACE_AMDGPU_private_wave`` address. .. _amdgpu-dwarf-lane-identifier: Lane identifier --------------- DWARF lane identifies specify a target architecture lane position for hardware that executes in a SIMD or SIMT manner, and on which a source language maps its threads of execution onto those lanes. The DWARF lane identifier is pushed by the ``DW_OP_LLVM_push_lane`` DWARF expression operation. See DWARF Version 5 section 2.5 which is updated by *DWARF Extensions For Heterogeneous Debugging* section :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-operation-expressions`. For AMDGPU, the lane identifier corresponds to the hardware lane ID of a wavefront. It is numbered from 0 to the wavefront size minus 1. Operation Expressions --------------------- DWARF expressions are used to compute program values and the locations of program objects. See DWARF Version 5 section 2.5 and :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-operation-expressions`. DWARF location descriptions describe how to access storage which includes memory and registers. When accessing storage on AMDGPU, bytes are ordered with least significant bytes first, and bits are ordered within bytes with least significant bits first. For AMDGPU CFI expressions, ``DW_OP_LLVM_select_bit_piece`` is used to describe unwinding vector registers that are spilled under the execution mask to memory: the zero-single location description is the vector register, and the one-single location description is the spilled memory location description. The ``DW_OP_LLVM_form_aspace_address`` is used to specify the address space of the memory location description. In AMDGPU expressions, ``DW_OP_LLVM_select_bit_piece`` is used by the ``DW_AT_LLVM_lane_pc`` attribute expression where divergent control flow is controlled by the execution mask. An undefined location description together with ``DW_OP_LLVM_extend`` is used to indicate the lane was not active on entry to the subprogram. See :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-dw-at-llvm-lane-pc` for an example. Debugger Information Entry Attributes ------------------------------------- This section describes how certain debugger information entry attributes are used by AMDGPU. See the sections in DWARF Version 5 section 2 which are updated by *DWARF Extensions For Heterogeneous Debugging* section :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-debugging-information-entry-attributes`. .. _amdgpu-dwarf-dw-at-llvm-lane-pc: ``DW_AT_LLVM_lane_pc`` ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For AMDGPU, the ``DW_AT_LLVM_lane_pc`` attribute is used to specify the program location of the separate lanes of a SIMT thread. If the lane is an active lane then this will be the same as the current program location. If the lane is inactive, but was active on entry to the subprogram, then this is the program location in the subprogram at which execution of the lane is conceptual positioned. If the lane was not active on entry to the subprogram, then this will be the undefined location. A client debugger can check if the lane is part of a valid work-group by checking that the lane is in the range of the associated work-group within the grid, accounting for partial work-groups. If it is not, then the debugger can omit any information for the lane. Otherwise, the debugger may repeatedly unwind the stack and inspect the ``DW_AT_LLVM_lane_pc`` of the calling subprogram until it finds a non-undefined location. Conceptually the lane only has the call frames that it has a non-undefined ``DW_AT_LLVM_lane_pc``. The following example illustrates how the AMDGPU backend can generate a DWARF location list expression for the nested ``IF/THEN/ELSE`` structures of the following subprogram pseudo code for a target with 64 lanes per wavefront. .. code:: :number-lines: SUBPROGRAM X BEGIN a; IF (c1) THEN b; IF (c2) THEN c; ELSE d; ENDIF e; ELSE f; ENDIF g; END The AMDGPU backend may generate the following pseudo LLVM MIR to manipulate the execution mask (``EXEC``) to linearize the control flow. The condition is evaluated to make a mask of the lanes for which the condition evaluates to true. First the ``THEN`` region is executed by setting the ``EXEC`` mask to the logical ``AND`` of the current ``EXEC`` mask with the condition mask. Then the ``ELSE`` region is executed by negating the ``EXEC`` mask and logical ``AND`` of the saved ``EXEC`` mask at the start of the region. After the ``IF/THEN/ELSE`` region the ``EXEC`` mask is restored to the value it had at the beginning of the region. This is shown below. Other approaches are possible, but the basic concept is the same. .. code:: :number-lines: $lex_start: a; %1 = EXEC %2 = c1 $lex_1_start: EXEC = %1 & %2 $if_1_then: b; %3 = EXEC %4 = c2 $lex_1_1_start: EXEC = %3 & %4 $lex_1_1_then: c; EXEC = ~EXEC & %3 $lex_1_1_else: d; EXEC = %3 $lex_1_1_end: e; EXEC = ~EXEC & %1 $lex_1_else: f; EXEC = %1 $lex_1_end: g; $lex_end: To create the DWARF location list expression that defines the location description of a vector of lane program locations, the LLVM MIR ``DBG_VALUE`` pseudo instruction can be used to annotate the linearized control flow. This can be done by defining an artificial variable for the lane PC. The DWARF location list expression created for it is used as the value of the ``DW_AT_LLVM_lane_pc`` attribute on the subprogram's debugger information entry. A DWARF procedure is defined for each well nested structured control flow region which provides the conceptual lane program location for a lane if it is not active (namely it is divergent). The DWARF operation expression for each region conceptually inherits the value of the immediately enclosing region and modifies it according to the semantics of the region. For an ``IF/THEN/ELSE`` region the divergent program location is at the start of the region for the ``THEN`` region since it is executed first. For the ``ELSE`` region the divergent program location is at the end of the ``IF/THEN/ELSE`` region since the ``THEN`` region has completed. The lane PC artificial variable is assigned at each region transition. It uses the immediately enclosing region's DWARF procedure to compute the program location for each lane assuming they are divergent, and then modifies the result by inserting the current program location for each lane that the ``EXEC`` mask indicates is active. By having separate DWARF procedures for each region, they can be reused to define the value for any nested region. This reduces the total size of the DWARF operation expressions. The following provides an example using pseudo LLVM MIR. .. code:: :number-lines: $lex_start: DEFINE_DWARF %__uint_64 = DW_TAG_base_type[ DW_AT_name = "__uint64"; DW_AT_byte_size = 8; DW_AT_encoding = DW_ATE_unsigned; ]; DEFINE_DWARF %__active_lane_pc = DW_TAG_dwarf_procedure[ DW_AT_name = "__active_lane_pc"; DW_AT_location = [ DW_OP_regx PC; DW_OP_LLVM_extend 64, 64; DW_OP_regval_type EXEC, %uint_64; DW_OP_LLVM_select_bit_piece 64, 64; ]; ]; DEFINE_DWARF %__divergent_lane_pc = DW_TAG_dwarf_procedure[ DW_AT_name = "__divergent_lane_pc"; DW_AT_location = [ DW_OP_LLVM_undefined; DW_OP_LLVM_extend 64, 64; ]; ]; DBG_VALUE $noreg, $noreg, %DW_AT_LLVM_lane_pc, DIExpression[ DW_OP_call_ref %__divergent_lane_pc; DW_OP_call_ref %__active_lane_pc; ]; a; %1 = EXEC; DBG_VALUE %1, $noreg, %__lex_1_save_exec; %2 = c1; $lex_1_start: EXEC = %1 & %2; $lex_1_then: DEFINE_DWARF %__divergent_lane_pc_1_then = DW_TAG_dwarf_procedure[ DW_AT_name = "__divergent_lane_pc_1_then"; DW_AT_location = DIExpression[ DW_OP_call_ref %__divergent_lane_pc; DW_OP_addrx &lex_1_start; DW_OP_stack_value; DW_OP_LLVM_extend 64, 64; DW_OP_call_ref %__lex_1_save_exec; DW_OP_deref_type 64, %__uint_64; DW_OP_LLVM_select_bit_piece 64, 64; ]; ]; DBG_VALUE $noreg, $noreg, %DW_AT_LLVM_lane_pc, DIExpression[ DW_OP_call_ref %__divergent_lane_pc_1_then; DW_OP_call_ref %__active_lane_pc; ]; b; %3 = EXEC; DBG_VALUE %3, %__lex_1_1_save_exec; %4 = c2; $lex_1_1_start: EXEC = %3 & %4; $lex_1_1_then: DEFINE_DWARF %__divergent_lane_pc_1_1_then = DW_TAG_dwarf_procedure[ DW_AT_name = "__divergent_lane_pc_1_1_then"; DW_AT_location = DIExpression[ DW_OP_call_ref %__divergent_lane_pc_1_then; DW_OP_addrx &lex_1_1_start; DW_OP_stack_value; DW_OP_LLVM_extend 64, 64; DW_OP_call_ref %__lex_1_1_save_exec; DW_OP_deref_type 64, %__uint_64; DW_OP_LLVM_select_bit_piece 64, 64; ]; ]; DBG_VALUE $noreg, $noreg, %DW_AT_LLVM_lane_pc, DIExpression[ DW_OP_call_ref %__divergent_lane_pc_1_1_then; DW_OP_call_ref %__active_lane_pc; ]; c; EXEC = ~EXEC & %3; $lex_1_1_else: DEFINE_DWARF %__divergent_lane_pc_1_1_else = DW_TAG_dwarf_procedure[ DW_AT_name = "__divergent_lane_pc_1_1_else"; DW_AT_location = DIExpression[ DW_OP_call_ref %__divergent_lane_pc_1_then; DW_OP_addrx &lex_1_1_end; DW_OP_stack_value; DW_OP_LLVM_extend 64, 64; DW_OP_call_ref %__lex_1_1_save_exec; DW_OP_deref_type 64, %__uint_64; DW_OP_LLVM_select_bit_piece 64, 64; ]; ]; DBG_VALUE $noreg, $noreg, %DW_AT_LLVM_lane_pc, DIExpression[ DW_OP_call_ref %__divergent_lane_pc_1_1_else; DW_OP_call_ref %__active_lane_pc; ]; d; EXEC = %3; $lex_1_1_end: DBG_VALUE $noreg, $noreg, %DW_AT_LLVM_lane_pc, DIExpression[ DW_OP_call_ref %__divergent_lane_pc; DW_OP_call_ref %__active_lane_pc; ]; e; EXEC = ~EXEC & %1; $lex_1_else: DEFINE_DWARF %__divergent_lane_pc_1_else = DW_TAG_dwarf_procedure[ DW_AT_name = "__divergent_lane_pc_1_else"; DW_AT_location = DIExpression[ DW_OP_call_ref %__divergent_lane_pc; DW_OP_addrx &lex_1_end; DW_OP_stack_value; DW_OP_LLVM_extend 64, 64; DW_OP_call_ref %__lex_1_save_exec; DW_OP_deref_type 64, %__uint_64; DW_OP_LLVM_select_bit_piece 64, 64; ]; ]; DBG_VALUE $noreg, $noreg, %DW_AT_LLVM_lane_pc, DIExpression[ DW_OP_call_ref %__divergent_lane_pc_1_else; DW_OP_call_ref %__active_lane_pc; ]; f; EXEC = %1; $lex_1_end: DBG_VALUE $noreg, $noreg, %DW_AT_LLVM_lane_pc DIExpression[ DW_OP_call_ref %__divergent_lane_pc; DW_OP_call_ref %__active_lane_pc; ]; g; $lex_end: The DWARF procedure ``%__active_lane_pc`` is used to update the lane pc elements that are active, with the current program location. Artificial variables %__lex_1_save_exec and %__lex_1_1_save_exec are created for the execution masks saved on entry to a region. Using the ``DBG_VALUE`` pseudo instruction, location list entries will be created that describe where the artificial variables are allocated at any given program location. The compiler may allocate them to registers or spill them to memory. The DWARF procedures for each region use the values of the saved execution mask artificial variables to only update the lanes that are active on entry to the region. All other lanes retain the value of the enclosing region where they were last active. If they were not active on entry to the subprogram, then will have the undefined location description. Other structured control flow regions can be handled similarly. For example, loops would set the divergent program location for the region at the end of the loop. Any lanes active will be in the loop, and any lanes not active must have exited the loop. An ``IF/THEN/ELSEIF/ELSEIF/...`` region can be treated as a nest of ``IF/THEN/ELSE`` regions. The DWARF procedures can use the active lane artificial variable described in :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-amdgpu-dw-at-llvm-active-lane` rather than the actual ``EXEC`` mask in order to support whole or quad wavefront mode. .. _amdgpu-dwarf-amdgpu-dw-at-llvm-active-lane: ``DW_AT_LLVM_active_lane`` ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The ``DW_AT_LLVM_active_lane`` attribute on a subprogram debugger information entry is used to specify the lanes that are conceptually active for a SIMT thread. The execution mask may be modified to implement whole or quad wavefront mode operations. For example, all lanes may need to temporarily be made active to execute a whole wavefront operation. Such regions would save the ``EXEC`` mask, update it to enable the necessary lanes, perform the operations, and then restore the ``EXEC`` mask from the saved value. While executing the whole wavefront region, the conceptual execution mask is the saved value, not the ``EXEC`` value. This is handled by defining an artificial variable for the active lane mask. The active lane mask artificial variable would be the actual ``EXEC`` mask for normal regions, and the saved execution mask for regions where the mask is temporarily updated. The location list expression created for this artificial variable is used to define the value of the ``DW_AT_LLVM_active_lane`` attribute. ``DW_AT_LLVM_augmentation`` ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For AMDGPU, the ``DW_AT_LLVM_augmentation`` attribute of a compilation unit debugger information entry has the following value for the augmentation string: :: [amdgpu:v0.0] The "vX.Y" specifies the major X and minor Y version number of the AMDGPU extensions used in the DWARF of the compilation unit. The version number conforms to [SEMVER]_. Call Frame Information ---------------------- DWARF Call Frame Information (CFI) describes how a consumer can virtually *unwind* call frames in a running process or core dump. See DWARF Version 5 section 6.4 and :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-call-frame-information`. For AMDGPU, the Common Information Entry (CIE) fields have the following values: 1. ``augmentation`` string contains the following null-terminated UTF-8 string: :: [amd:v0.0] The ``vX.Y`` specifies the major X and minor Y version number of the AMDGPU extensions used in this CIE or to the FDEs that use it. The version number conforms to [SEMVER]_. 2. ``address_size`` for the ``Global`` address space is defined in :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-address-space-identifier`. 3. ``segment_selector_size`` is 0 as AMDGPU does not use a segment selector. 4. ``code_alignment_factor`` is 4 bytes. .. TODO:: Add to :ref:`amdgpu-processor-table` table. 5. ``data_alignment_factor`` is 4 bytes. .. TODO:: Add to :ref:`amdgpu-processor-table` table. 6. ``return_address_register`` is ``PC_32`` for 32-bit processes and ``PC_64`` for 64-bit processes defined in :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-register-identifier`. 7. ``initial_instructions`` Since a subprogram X with fewer registers can be called from subprogram Y that has more allocated, X will not change any of the extra registers as it cannot access them. Therefore, the default rule for all columns is ``same value``. For AMDGPU the register number follows the numbering defined in :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-register-identifier`. For AMDGPU the instructions are variable size. A consumer can subtract 1 from the return address to get the address of a byte within the call site instructions. See DWARF Version 5 section 6.4.4. Accelerated Access ------------------ See DWARF Version 5 section 6.1. Lookup By Name Section Header ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ See DWARF Version 5 section 6.1.1.4.1 and :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-lookup-by-name`. For AMDGPU the lookup by name section header table: ``augmentation_string_size`` (uword) Set to the length of the ``augmentation_string`` value which is always a multiple of 4. ``augmentation_string`` (sequence of UTF-8 characters) Contains the following UTF-8 string null padded to a multiple of 4 bytes: :: [amdgpu:v0.0] The "vX.Y" specifies the major X and minor Y version number of the AMDGPU extensions used in the DWARF of this index. The version number conforms to [SEMVER]_. .. note:: This is different to the DWARF Version 5 definition that requires the first 4 characters to be the vendor ID. But this is consistent with the other augmentation strings and does allow multiple vendor contributions. However, backwards compatibility may be more desirable. Lookup By Address Section Header ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ See DWARF Version 5 section 6.1.2. For AMDGPU the lookup by address section header table: ``address_size`` (ubyte) Match the address size for the ``Global`` address space defined in :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-address-space-identifier`. ``segment_selector_size`` (ubyte) AMDGPU does not use a segment selector so this is 0. The entries in the ``.debug_aranges`` do not have a segment selector. Line Number Information ----------------------- See DWARF Version 5 section 6.2 and :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-line-number-information`. AMDGPU does not use the ``isa`` state machine registers and always sets it to 0. The instruction set must be obtained from the ELF file header ``e_flags`` field in the ``EF_AMDGPU_MACH`` bit position (see :ref:`ELF Header `). See DWARF Version 5 section 6.2.2. .. TODO:: Should the ``isa`` state machine register be used to indicate if the code is in wavefront32 or wavefront64 mode? Or used to specify the architecture ISA? For AMDGPU the line number program header fields have the following values (see DWARF Version 5 section 6.2.4): ``address_size`` (ubyte) Matches the address size for the ``Global`` address space defined in :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-address-space-identifier`. ``segment_selector_size`` (ubyte) AMDGPU does not use a segment selector so this is 0. ``minimum_instruction_length`` (ubyte) For GFX9-GFX10 this is 4. ``maximum_operations_per_instruction`` (ubyte) For GFX9-GFX10 this is 1. Source text for online-compiled programs (for example, those compiled by the OpenCL language runtime) may be embedded into the DWARF Version 5 line table. See DWARF Version 5 section 6.2.4.1 which is updated by *DWARF Extensions For Heterogeneous Debugging* section :ref:`DW_LNCT_LLVM_source `. The Clang option used to control source embedding in AMDGPU is defined in :ref:`amdgpu-clang-debug-options-table`. .. table:: AMDGPU Clang Debug Options :name: amdgpu-clang-debug-options-table ==================== ================================================== Debug Flag Description ==================== ================================================== -g[no-]embed-source Enable/disable embedding source text in DWARF debug sections. Useful for environments where source cannot be written to disk, such as when performing online compilation. ==================== ================================================== For example: ``-gembed-source`` Enable the embedded source. ``-gno-embed-source`` Disable the embedded source. 32-Bit and 64-Bit DWARF Formats ------------------------------- See DWARF Version 5 section 7.4 and :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-32-bit-and-64-bit-dwarf-formats`. For AMDGPU: * For the ``amdgcn`` target architecture only the 64-bit process address space is supported. * The producer can generate either 32-bit or 64-bit DWARF format. LLVM generates the 32-bit DWARF format. Unit Headers ------------ For AMDGPU the following values apply for each of the unit headers described in DWARF Version 5 sections 7.5.1.1, 7.5.1.2, and 7.5.1.3: ``address_size`` (ubyte) Matches the address size for the ``Global`` address space defined in :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-address-space-identifier`. .. _amdgpu-code-conventions: Code Conventions ================ This section provides code conventions used for each supported target triple OS (see :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`). AMDHSA ------ This section provides code conventions used when the target triple OS is ``amdhsa`` (see :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`). .. _amdgpu-amdhsa-code-object-metadata: Code Object Metadata ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The code object metadata specifies extensible metadata associated with the code objects executed on HSA [HSA]_ compatible runtimes (see :ref:`amdgpu-os`). The encoding and semantics of this metadata depends on the code object version; see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-code-object-metadata-v2`, :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-code-object-metadata-v3`, and :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-code-object-metadata-v4`. Code object metadata is specified in a 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 HSA compatible runtime 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. .. _amdgpu-amdhsa-code-object-metadata-v2: Code Object V2 Metadata +++++++++++++++++++++++ .. warning:: Code object V2 is not the default code object version emitted by this version of LLVM.

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-map-v2-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.

See :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples` and :ref:`amdgpu-target-id`. ================= ============== ========= ======================================= .. 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 an HSA compatible runtime (see :ref:`amdgpu-os`), 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). An HSA compatible 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 an HSA compatible runtime on the kernel agent with which the AQL queue is associated. 3. Space is allocated for the kernel arguments using the HSA compatible 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 HSA compatible 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 HSA compatible runtime queries on the kernel symbol can be used to obtain the code object values which are recorded in the :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-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 ================= =========== ======== ======= ================== Private private scratch 32 0x00000000 Local group LDS 32 0xFFFFFFFF Global global global 64 0x0000000000000000 Constant constant *same as 64 0x0000000000000000 global* Generic flat flat 64 0x0000000000000000 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 wavefront 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-GFX10. The generic address space uses the hardware flat address support available in GFX7-GFX10. This uses two fixed ranges of virtual addresses (the private and local apertures), 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 aperture ranges. Flat access to scratch requires hardware aperture setup and setup in the kernel prologue (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog-flat-scratch`). Flat access to LDS requires hardware aperture setup and M0 (GFX7-GFX8) register setup (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog-m0`). To convert between a segment address and a flat address the base address of the apertures 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-GFX10 the aperture base addresses are directly available as inline constant registers ``SRC_SHARED_BASE/LIMIT`` and ``SRC_PRIVATE_BASE/LIMIT``. In 64 bit address mode the aperture 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 an HSA compatible runtime (see :ref:`amdgpu-os`) 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 an HSA compatible runtime (see :ref:`amdgpu-os`) are 64-bit addresses of a structure allocated in memory accessible from both the CPU and GPU. The structure is defined by the runtime and subject to change between releases. For example, see [AMD-ROCm-github]_. .. _amdgpu-amdhsa-hsa-aql-queue: HSA AQL Queue ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The HSA AQL queue structure is defined by an HSA compatible runtime (see :ref:`amdgpu-os`) and subject to change between releases. For example, 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-kernel-descriptor: Kernel Descriptor ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A kernel descriptor consists of the information needed by CP to initiate the execution of a kernel, including the entry point address of the machine code that implements the kernel.

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 wavefronts 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 wavefront of the grid dispatch. SGPR register initial state is defined in :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-sgpr-register-set-up-order-table`. .. table:: SGPR Register Set Up Order :name: amdgpu-amdhsa-sgpr-register-set-up-order-table ========== ========================== ====== ============================== SGPR Order Name Number Description (kernel descriptor enable of field) SGPRs ========== ========================== ====== ============================== First Private Segment Buffer 4 See (enable_sgpr_private :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog-private-segment-buffer`. _segment_buffer) 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.

However, it may be needed for GFX9-GFX10 which changes the meaning of the Flat Scratch Init value. 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_wavefront, 14'b0000, (enable_sgpr_workgroup ordered_append_term[10:0], _info) threadgroup_size_in_wavefronts[5:0]} then Scratch Wavefront Offset 1 See (enable_sgpr_private :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog-flat-scratch`. _segment_wavefront_offset) and :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog-private-segment-buffer`. ========== ========================== ====== ============================== 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. There are different methods used for the VGPR initial state: * Unless the *Target Properties* column of :ref:`amdgpu-processor-table` specifies otherwise, a separate VGPR register is used per work-item ID. The VGPR register initial state for this method is defined in :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-vgpr-register-set-up-order-for-unpacked-work-item-id-method-table`. * If *Target Properties* column of :ref:`amdgpu-processor-table` specifies *Packed work-item IDs*, the initial value of VGPR0 register is used for all work-item IDs. The register layout for this method is defined in :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-register-layout-for-packed-work-item-id-method-table`. .. table:: VGPR Register Set Up Order for Unpacked Work-Item ID Method :name: amdgpu-amdhsa-vgpr-register-set-up-order-for-unpacked-work-item-id-method-table ========== ========================== ====== ============================== VGPR Order Name Number Description (kernel descriptor enable of field) VGPRs ========== ========================== ====== ============================== 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. ========== ========================== ====== ============================== .. .. table:: Register Layout for Packed Work-Item ID Method :name: amdgpu-amdhsa-register-layout-for-packed-work-item-id-method-table ======= ======= ================ ========================================= Bits Size Field Name Description ======= ======= ================ ========================================= 0:9 10 bits Work-Item Id X Work-item id in X dimension of work-group for wavefront lane.

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 Wavefront Offset is set by SPI in a per wavefront basis which is why its value cannot be included with the flat scratch init value which is per queue (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog-flat-scratch`). 4. The VGPRs are set by SPI which only supports specifying either (X), (X, Y) or (X, Y, Z). 5. Flat Scratch register pair initialization is described in :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog-flat-scratch`. The global segment can be accessed either using buffer instructions (GFX6 which has V# 64-bit address support), flat instructions (GFX7-GFX10), or global instructions (GFX9-GFX10). 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 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The compiler performs initialization in the kernel prologue depending on the target and information about things like stack usage in the kernel and called functions. Some of this initialization requires the compiler to request certain User and System SGPRs be present in the :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state` via the :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`. .. _amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog-cfi: CFI +++ 1. The CFI return address is undefined. 2. The CFI CFA is defined using an expression which evaluates to a location description that comprises one memory location description for the ``DW_ASPACE_AMDGPU_private_lane`` address space address ``0``. .. _amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog-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-GFX10 The M0 register is not used for range checking LDS accesses and so does not need to be initialized in the prolog. .. _amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog-stack-pointer: Stack Pointer +++++++++++++ If the kernel has function calls it must set up the ABI stack pointer described in :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-function-call-convention-non-kernel-functions` by setting SGPR32 to the unswizzled scratch offset of the address past the last local allocation. .. _amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog-frame-pointer: Frame Pointer +++++++++++++ If the kernel needs a frame pointer for the reasons defined in ``SIFrameLowering`` then SGPR33 is used and is always set to ``0`` in the kernel prolog. If a frame pointer is not required then all uses of the frame pointer are replaced with immediate ``0`` offsets. .. _amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog-flat-scratch: Flat Scratch ++++++++++++ There are different methods used for initializing flat scratch: * If the *Target Properties* column of :ref:`amdgpu-processor-table` specifies *Does not support generic address space*: Flat scratch is not supported and there is no flat scratch register pair. * If the *Target Properties* column of :ref:`amdgpu-processor-table` specifies *Offset flat scratch*: If the kernel or any function it calls may use flat operations to access scratch memory, the prolog code must set up the FLAT_SCRATCH register pair (FLAT_SCRATCH_LO/FLAT_SCRATCH_HI). Initialization uses Flat Scratch Init and Scratch Wavefront Offset SGPR registers (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`): 1. The low word of Flat Scratch Init is the 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. CP obtains this from the runtime. (The Scratch Segment Buffer base address is ``SH_HIDDEN_PRIVATE_BASE_VIMID`` plus this offset.) The prolog must add the value of Scratch Wavefront Offset to get the wavefront's byte scratch backing memory offset from ``SH_HIDDEN_PRIVATE_BASE_VIMID``. The Scratch Wavefront Offset must also be used as an offset with Private segment address when using the Scratch Segment Buffer. Since FLAT_SCRATCH_LO is in units of 256 bytes, the offset must be right shifted by 8 before moving into FLAT_SCRATCH_HI. FLAT_SCRATCH_HI corresponds to SGPRn-4 on GFX7, and SGPRn-6 on GFX8 (where SGPRn is the highest numbered SGPR allocated to the wavefront). 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 wavefront FLAT SCRATCH BASE in flat memory instructions that access the scratch aperture. 2. The second word of Flat Scratch Init is 32-bit byte size of a single work-items 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. CP directly loads from the kernel dispatch packet Private Segment Byte Size field and rounds up to a multiple of DWORD. Having CP load it once avoids loading it at the beginning of every wavefront. The kernel prolog 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. * If the *Target Properties* column of :ref:`amdgpu-processor-table` specifies *Absolute flat scratch*: If the kernel or any function it calls may use flat operations to access scratch memory, the prolog code must set up the FLAT_SCRATCH register pair (FLAT_SCRATCH_LO/FLAT_SCRATCH_HI which are in SGPRn-4/SGPRn-3). Initialization uses Flat Scratch Init and Scratch Wavefront Offset SGPR registers (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`): 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. CP obtains this from the runtime. The kernel prolog must add the value of the wave's Scratch Wavefront Offset and move the result as a 64-bit value to the FLAT_SCRATCH SGPR register pair which is SGPRn-6 and SGPRn-5. It is used as the FLAT SCRATCH BASE in flat memory instructions. The Scratch Wavefront Offset must also be used as an offset with Private segment address when using the Scratch Segment Buffer (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog-private-segment-buffer`). * If the *Target Properties* column of :ref:`amdgpu-processor-table` specifies *Architected flat scratch*: If ENABLE_PRIVATE_SEGMENT is enabled in :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-compute_pgm_rsrc2-gfx6-gfx10-table` then the FLAT_SCRATCH register pair will be initialized to the 64-bit address of the base of scratch backing memory being managed by SPI for the queue executing the kernel dispatch plus the value of the wave's Scratch Wavefront Offset for use as the flat scratch base in flat memory instructions. .. _amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog-private-segment-buffer: Private Segment Buffer ++++++++++++++++++++++ If the *Target Properties* column of :ref:`amdgpu-processor-table` specifies *Architected flat scratch* then a Private Segment Buffer is not supported. Instead the flat SCRATCH instructions are used. Otherwise, Private Segment Buffer SGPR register is used to initialize 4 SGPRs that are used as a V# to access scratch. CP uses the value provided by the runtime. It is used, together with Scratch Wavefront Offset as an offset, to access the private memory space using a segment address. See :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`. The scratch V# is a four-aligned SGPR and always selected for the kernel as follows: - If it is known during instruction selection that there is stack usage, SGPR0-3 is reserved for use as the scratch V#. Stack usage is assumed if optimizations are disabled (``-O0``), if stack objects already exist (for locals, etc.), or if there are any function calls. - Otherwise, four high numbered SGPRs beginning at a four-aligned SGPR index are reserved for the tentative scratch V#. These will be used if it is determined that spilling is needed. - If no use is made of the tentative scratch V#, then it is unreserved, and the register count is determined ignoring it. - If use is made of the tentative scratch V#, then its register numbers are shifted to the first four-aligned SGPR index after the highest one allocated by the register allocator, and all uses are updated. The register count includes them in the shifted location. - In either case, if the processor has the SGPR allocation bug, the tentative allocation is not shifted or unreserved in order to ensure the register count is higher to workaround the bug. .. note:: This approach of using a tentative scratch V# and shifting the register numbers if used avoids having to perform register allocation a second time if the tentative V# is eliminated. This is more efficient and avoids the problem that the second register allocation may perform spilling which will fail as there is no longer a scratch V#. When the kernel prolog code is being emitted it is known whether the scratch V# described above is actually used. If it is, the prolog code must set it up by copying the Private Segment Buffer to the scratch V# registers and then adding the Private Segment Wavefront Offset to the queue base address in the V#. The result is a V# with a base address pointing to the beginning of the wavefront scratch backing memory. The Private Segment Buffer is always requested, but the Private Segment Wavefront Offset is only requested if it is used (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`). .. _amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model: Memory Model ~~~~~~~~~~~~ This section describes the mapping of the LLVM memory model onto AMDGPU machine code (see :ref:`memmodel`). The AMDGPU backend supports the memory synchronization scopes specified in :ref:`amdgpu-memory-scopes`. The code sequences used to implement the memory model specify the order of instructions that a single thread must execute. The ``s_waitcnt`` and cache management instructions such as ``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 conservatively 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. Private address space uses ``buffer_load/store`` using the scratch V# (GFX6-GFX8), or ``scratch_load/store`` (GFX9-GFX10). 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 accesses 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. The memory order also adds the single thread optimization constraints defined in table :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model-single-thread-optimization-constraints-table`. .. table:: AMDHSA Memory Model Single Thread Optimization Constraints :name: amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model-single-thread-optimization-constraints-table ============ ============================================================== LLVM Memory Optimization Constraints Ordering ============ ============================================================== unordered *none* monotonic *none* acquire - If a load atomic/atomicrmw then no following load/load atomic/store/store atomic/atomicrmw/fence instruction can be moved before the acquire. - If a fence then same as load atomic, plus no preceding associated fence-paired-atomic can be moved after the fence. release - If a store atomic/atomicrmw then no preceding load/load atomic/store/store atomic/atomicrmw/fence instruction can be moved after the release. - If a fence then same as store atomic, plus no following associated fence-paired-atomic can be moved before the fence. acq_rel Same constraints as both acquire and release. seq_cst - If a load atomic then same constraints as acquire, plus no preceding sequentially consistent load atomic/store atomic/atomicrmw/fence instruction can be moved after the seq_cst. - If a store atomic then the same constraints as release, plus no following sequentially consistent load atomic/store atomic/atomicrmw/fence instruction can be moved before the seq_cst. - If an atomicrmw/fence then same constraints as acq_rel. ============ ============================================================== The code sequences used to implement the memory model are defined in the following sections: * :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model-gfx6-gfx9` * :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model-gfx90a` * :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model-gfx10` .. _amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model-gfx6-gfx9: Memory Model GFX6-GFX9 ++++++++++++++++++++++ For GFX6-GFX9: * Each agent has multiple shader arrays (SA). * Each SA 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 wavefronts 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 wavefronts 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 wavefronts 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 wavefronts 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. Scalar memory operations are only used 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 cache to ensure it is coherent with the vector caches. The scalar and vector 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 exception 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 wavefront 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. For kernarg backing memory: * CP invalidates the L1 cache at the start of each kernel dispatch. * On dGPU the kernarg backing memory is allocated in host memory accessed as MTYPE 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 the kernarg backing memory it is accessed as MTYPE CC (cache coherent) and so the L2 cache will be coherent with the CPU and other agents. Scratch backing memory (which is used for the private address space) is accessed with MTYPE NC_NV (non-coherent 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.

The exception is when in tgsplit execution mode when the wavefronts may be executed by different SIMDs in different CUs. * Each CU has a single LDS memory shared by the wavefronts of the work-groups executing on it. The exception is when in tgsplit execution mode when no LDS is allocated as wavefronts of the same work-group can be in different CUs. * 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 wavefronts 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 wavefronts 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 ``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. * No special action is required for coherence between wavefronts in the same work-group since they execute on the same CU. The exception is when in tgsplit execution mode as wavefronts of the same work-group can be in different CUs and so a ``buffer_wbinvl1_vol`` is required as described in the following item. * A ``buffer_wbinvl1_vol`` is required for coherence between wavefronts 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 wavefronts executing in different work-groups (which may be executing on different CUs), or the same work-group if executing in tgsplit mode, 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 of one agent can be kept coherent with other agents by: using the MTYPE RW (read-write) or MTYPE CC (cache-coherent) with the PTE C-bit for memory local to the L2; and using the MTYPE NC (non-coherent) with the PTE C-bit set or MTYPE UC (uncached) for memory not local to the L2. * Any local memory cache lines will be automatically invalidated by writes from CUs associated with other L2 caches, or writes from the CPU, due to the cache probe caused by coherent requests. Coherent requests are caused by GPU accesses to pages with the PTE C-bit set, by CPU accesses over XGMI, and by PCIe requests that are configured to be coherent requests. * XGMI accesses from the CPU to local memory may be cached on the CPU. Subsequent access from the GPU will automatically invalidate or writeback the CPU cache due to the L2 probe filter and and the PTE C-bit being set. * Since all work-groups on the same agent share the same L2, no L2 invalidation or writeback is required for coherence. * To ensure coherence of local and remote memory writes of work-groups in different agents a ``buffer_wbl2`` is required. It will writeback dirty L2 cache lines of MTYPE RW (used for local coarse grain memory) and MTYPE NC ()used for remote coarse grain memory). Note that MTYPE CC (used for local fine grain memory) causes write through to DRAM, and MTYPE UC (used for remote fine grain memory) bypasses the L2, so both will never result in dirty L2 cache lines. * To ensure coherence of local and remote memory reads of work-groups in different agents a ``buffer_invl2`` is required. It will invalidate L2 cache lines with MTYPE NC (used for remote coarse grain memory). Note that MTYPE CC (used for local fine grain memory) and MTYPE RW (used for local coarse memory) cause local reads to be invalidated by remote writes with with the PTE C-bit so these cache lines are not invalidated. Note that MTYPE UC (used for remote fine grain memory) bypasses the L2, so will never result in L2 cache lines that need to be invalidated. * PCIe access from the GPU to the CPU memory is kept coherent by using the MTYPE UC (uncached) which bypasses the L2. Scalar memory operations are only used 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 cache to ensure it is coherent with the vector caches. The scalar and vector 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 exception 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 wavefront 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. For kernarg backing memory: * CP invalidates the L1 cache at the start of each kernel dispatch. * On dGPU over XGMI or PCIe the kernarg backing memory is allocated in host memory accessed as MTYPE 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 the kernarg backing memory is accessed as MTYPE CC (cache coherent) and so the L2 cache will be coherent with the CPU and other agents. Scratch backing memory (which is used for the private address space) is accessed with MTYPE NC_NV (non-coherent 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.

In CU wavefront execution mode the wavefronts may be executed by different SIMDs in the same CU. In WGP wavefront execution mode the wavefronts may be executed by different SIMDs in different CUs in the same WGP. * Each WGP has a single LDS memory shared by the wavefronts of the work-groups executing on it. * All LDS operations of a WGP 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 WGP. Therefore, the LDS operations performed by different wavefronts 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 wavefronts of a work-group, but not between operations performed by the same wavefront. * The vector memory operations are performed as wavefront wide operations. Completion of load/store/sample operations are reported to a wavefront in execution order of other load/store/sample operations performed by that wavefront. * The vector memory operations access a vector L0 cache. There is a single L0 cache per CU. Each SIMD of a CU accesses the same L0 cache. Therefore, no special action is required for coherence between the lanes of a single wavefront. However, a ``buffer_gl0_inv`` is required for coherence between wavefronts executing in the same work-group as they may be executing on SIMDs of different CUs that access different L0s. A ``buffer_gl0_inv`` is also required for coherence between wavefronts executing in different work-groups as they may be executing on different WGPs. * The scalar memory operations access a scalar L0 cache shared by all wavefronts on a WGP. The scalar and vector L0 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 L0 caches use an L1 cache shared by all WGPs on the same SA. Therefore, no special action is required for coherence between the wavefronts of a single work-group. However, a ``buffer_gl1_inv`` is required for coherence between wavefronts executing in different work-groups as they may be executing on different SAs that access different L1s. * The L1 caches have independent quadrants to service disjoint ranges of virtual addresses. * Each L0 cache has a separate request queue per L1 quadrant. Therefore, the vector and scalar memory operations performed by different wavefronts, whether executing in the same or different work-groups (which may be executing on different CUs accessing different L0s), can be reordered relative to each other. A ``s_waitcnt vmcnt(0) & vscnt(0)`` is required to ensure synchronization between vector memory operations of different wavefronts. 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, release and sequential consistency. * The L1 caches use an L2 cache shared by all SAs on the same agent. * The L2 cache has independent channels to service disjoint ranges of virtual addresses. * Each L1 quadrant of a single SA accesses a different L2 channel. Each L1 quadrant has a separate request queue per L2 channel. Therefore, the vector and scalar memory operations performed by wavefronts executing in different work-groups (which may be executing on different SAs) of an agent can be reordered relative to each other. A ``s_waitcnt vmcnt(0) & vscnt(0)`` is required to ensure synchronization between vector memory operations of different SAs. It ensures a previous vector memory operation has completed before executing a subsequent vector memory and so can be used to meet the requirements of acquire, release and sequential consistency. * 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. Scalar memory operations are only used 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 cache to ensure it is coherent with the vector caches. The scalar and vector 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 exception 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 wavefront 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. For kernarg backing memory: * CP invalidates the L0 and L1 caches at the start of each kernel dispatch. * On dGPU the kernarg backing memory is accessed as MTYPE UC (uncached) to avoid needing to invalidate the L2 cache. * On APU the kernarg backing memory is accessed as MTYPE CC (cache coherent) and so the L2 cache will be coherent with the CPU and other agents. Scratch backing memory (which is used for the private address space) is accessed with MTYPE NC (non-coherent). 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 L0 or L1 caches. Wavefronts are executed in native mode with in-order reporting of loads and sample instructions. In this mode vmcnt reports completion of load, atomic with return and sample instructions in order, and the vscnt reports the completion of store and atomic without return in order. See ``MEM_ORDERED`` field in :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-compute_pgm_rsrc1-gfx6-gfx10-table`. Wavefronts can be executed in WGP or CU wavefront execution mode: * In WGP wavefront execution mode the wavefronts of a work-group are executed on the SIMDs of both CUs of the WGP. Therefore, explicit management of the per CU L0 caches is required for work-group synchronization. Also accesses to L1 at work-group scope need to be explicitly ordered as the accesses from different CUs are not ordered. * In CU wavefront execution mode the wavefronts of a work-group are executed on the SIMDs of a single CU of the WGP. Therefore, all global memory access by the work-group access the same L0 which in turn ensures L1 accesses are ordered and so do not require explicit management of the caches for work-group synchronization. See ``WGP_MODE`` field in :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-compute_pgm_rsrc1-gfx6-gfx10-table` and :ref:`amdgpu-target-features`.

It is WIP that will be updated as information is determined. See :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-address-space-identifier` for information on swizzled addresses. Unswizzled addresses are normal linear addresses. .. _amdgpu-amdhsa-function-call-convention-kernel-functions: Kernel Functions ++++++++++++++++ This section describes the call convention ABI for the outer kernel function. See :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state` for the kernel call convention. The following is not part of the AMDGPU kernel calling convention but describes how the AMDGPU implements function calls: 1. Clang decides the kernarg layout to match the *HSA Programmer's Language Reference* [HSA]_. - All structs are passed directly. - Lambda values are passed *TBA*. .. TODO:: - Does this really follow HSA rules? Or are structs >16 bytes passed by-value struct? - What is ABI for lambda values? 4. The kernel performs certain setup in its prolog, as described in :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog`. .. _amdgpu-amdhsa-function-call-convention-non-kernel-functions: Non-Kernel Functions ++++++++++++++++++++ This section describes the call convention ABI for functions other than the outer kernel function. If a kernel has function calls then scratch is always allocated and used for the call stack which grows from low address to high address using the swizzled scratch address space. On entry to a function: 1. SGPR0-3 contain a V# with the following properties (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog-private-segment-buffer`): * Base address pointing to the beginning of the wavefront scratch backing memory. * Swizzled with dword element size and stride of wavefront size elements. 2. The FLAT_SCRATCH register pair is setup. See :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog-flat-scratch`. 3. GFX6-GFX8: M0 register set to the size of LDS in bytes. See :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog-m0`. 4. The EXEC register is set to the lanes active on entry to the function. 5. MODE register: *TBD* 6. VGPR0-31 and SGPR4-29 are used to pass function input arguments as described below. 7. SGPR30-31 return address (RA). The code address that the function must return to when it completes. The value is undefined if the function is *no return*. 8. SGPR32 is used for the stack pointer (SP). It is an unswizzled scratch offset relative to the beginning of the wavefront scratch backing memory. The unswizzled SP can be used with buffer instructions as an unswizzled SGPR offset with the scratch V# in SGPR0-3 to access the stack in a swizzled manner. The unswizzled SP value can be converted into the swizzled SP value by: | swizzled SP = unswizzled SP / wavefront size This may be used to obtain the private address space address of stack objects and to convert this address to a flat address by adding the flat scratch aperture base address. The swizzled SP value is always 4 bytes aligned for the ``r600`` architecture and 16 byte aligned for the ``amdgcn`` architecture. .. note:: The ``amdgcn`` value is selected to avoid dynamic stack alignment for the OpenCL language which has the largest base type defined as 16 bytes. On entry, the swizzled SP value is the address of the first function argument passed on the stack. Other stack passed arguments are positive offsets from the entry swizzled SP value. The function may use positive offsets beyond the last stack passed argument for stack allocated local variables and register spill slots. If necessary, the function may align these to greater alignment than 16 bytes. After these the function may dynamically allocate space for such things as runtime sized ``alloca`` local allocations. If the function calls another function, it will place any stack allocated arguments after the last local allocation and adjust SGPR32 to the address after the last local allocation. 9. All other registers are unspecified. 10. Any necessary ``s_waitcnt`` has been performed to ensure memory is available to the function. On exit from a function: 1. VGPR0-31 and SGPR4-29 are used to pass function result arguments as described below. Any registers used are considered clobbered registers. 2. The following registers are preserved and have the same value as on entry: * FLAT_SCRATCH * EXEC * GFX6-GFX8: M0 * All SGPR registers except the clobbered registers of SGPR4-31. * VGPR40-47 * VGPR56-63 * VGPR72-79 * VGPR88-95 * VGPR104-111 * VGPR120-127 * VGPR136-143 * VGPR152-159 * VGPR168-175 * VGPR184-191 * VGPR200-207 * VGPR216-223 * VGPR232-239 * VGPR248-255 .. note:: Except the argument registers, the VGPRs clobbered and the preserved registers are intermixed at regular intervals in order to keep a similar ratio independent of the number of allocated VGPRs. * Lanes of all VGPRs that are inactive at the call site. For the AMDGPU backend, an inter-procedural register allocation (IPRA) optimization may mark some of clobbered SGPR and VGPR registers as preserved if it can be determined that the called function does not change their value. 2. The PC is set to the RA provided on entry. 3. MODE register: *TBD*. 4. All other registers are clobbered. 5. Any necessary ``s_waitcnt`` has been performed to ensure memory accessed by function is available to the caller. .. TODO:: - On gfx908 are all ACC registers clobbered? - How are function results returned? The address of structured types is passed by reference, but what about other types? The function input arguments are made up of the formal arguments explicitly declared by the source language function plus the implicit input arguments used by the implementation. The source language input arguments are: 1. Any source language implicit ``this`` or ``self`` argument comes first as a pointer type. 2. Followed by the function formal arguments in left to right source order. The source language result arguments are: 1. The function result argument. The source language input or result struct type arguments that are less than or equal to 16 bytes, are decomposed recursively into their base type fields, and each field is passed as if a separate argument. For input arguments, if the called function requires the struct to be in memory, for example because its address is taken, then the function body is responsible for allocating a stack location and copying the field arguments into it. Clang terms this *direct struct*. The source language input struct type arguments that are greater than 16 bytes, are passed by reference. The caller is responsible for allocating a stack location to make a copy of the struct value and pass the address as the input argument. The called function is responsible to perform the dereference when accessing the input argument. Clang terms this *by-value struct*. A source language result struct type argument that is greater than 16 bytes, is returned by reference. The caller is responsible for allocating a stack location to hold the result value and passes the address as the last input argument (before the implicit input arguments). In this case there are no result arguments. The called function is responsible to perform the dereference when storing the result value. Clang terms this *structured return (sret)*. *TODO: correct the ``sret`` definition.* .. TODO:: Is this definition correct? Or is ``sret`` only used if passing in registers, and pass as non-decomposed struct as stack argument? Or something else? Is the memory location in the caller stack frame, or a stack memory argument and so no address is passed as the caller can directly write to the argument stack location? But then the stack location is still live after return. If an argument stack location is it the first stack argument or the last one? Lambda argument types are treated as struct types with an implementation defined set of fields. .. TODO:: Need to specify the ABI for lambda types for AMDGPU. For AMDGPU backend all source language arguments (including the decomposed struct type arguments) are passed in VGPRs unless marked ``inreg`` in which case they are passed in SGPRs. The AMDGPU backend walks the function call graph from the leaves to determine which implicit input arguments are used, propagating to each caller of the function. The used implicit arguments are appended to the function arguments after the source language arguments in the following order: .. TODO:: Is recursion or external functions supported? 1. Work-Item ID (1 VGPR) The X, Y and Z work-item ID are packed into a single VGRP with the following layout. Only fields actually used by the function are set. The other bits are undefined. The values come from the initial kernel execution state.

Implicit Argument Ptr (2 SGPRs) The value is computed by adding an offset to Kernarg Segment Ptr to get the global address space pointer to the first kernarg implicit argument. The input and result arguments are assigned in order in the following manner: .. note:: There are likely some errors and omissions in the following description that need correction. .. TODO:: Check the Clang source code to decipher how function arguments and return results are handled. Also see the AMDGPU specific values used. * VGPR arguments are assigned to consecutive VGPRs starting at VGPR0 up to VGPR31. If there are more arguments than will fit in these registers, the remaining arguments are allocated on the stack in order on naturally aligned addresses. .. TODO:: How are overly aligned structures allocated on the stack? * SGPR arguments are assigned to consecutive SGPRs starting at SGPR0 up to SGPR29. If there are more arguments than will fit in these registers, the remaining arguments are allocated on the stack in order on naturally aligned addresses. Note that decomposed struct type arguments may have some fields passed in registers and some in memory. .. TODO:: So, a struct which can pass some fields as decomposed register arguments, will pass the rest as decomposed stack elements? But an argument that will not start in registers will not be decomposed and will be passed as a non-decomposed stack value? The following is not part of the AMDGPU function calling convention but describes how the AMDGPU implements function calls: 1. SGPR33 is used as a frame pointer (FP) if necessary. Like the SP it is an unswizzled scratch address. It is only needed if runtime sized ``alloca`` are used, or for the reasons defined in ``SIFrameLowering``. 2. Runtime stack alignment is supported. SGPR34 is used as a base pointer (BP) to access the incoming stack arguments in the function. The BP is needed only when the function requires the runtime stack alignment. 3. Allocating SGPR arguments on the stack are not supported. 4. No CFI is currently generated. See :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-call-frame-information`. .. note:: CFI will be generated that defines the CFA as the unswizzled address relative to the wave scratch base in the unswizzled private address space of the lowest address stack allocated local variable. ``DW_AT_frame_base`` will be defined as the swizzled address in the swizzled private address space by dividing the CFA by the wavefront size (since CFA is always at least dword aligned which matches the scratch swizzle element size). If no dynamic stack alignment was performed, the stack allocated arguments are accessed as negative offsets relative to ``DW_AT_frame_base``, and the local variables and register spill slots are accessed as positive offsets relative to ``DW_AT_frame_base``. 5. Function argument passing is implemented by copying the input physical registers to virtual registers on entry. The register allocator can spill if necessary. These are copied back to physical registers at call sites. The net effect is that each function call can have these values in entirely distinct locations. The IPRA can help avoid shuffling argument registers. 6. Call sites are implemented by setting up the arguments at positive offsets from SP. Then SP is incremented to account for the known frame size before the call and decremented after the call. .. note:: The CFI will reflect the changed calculation needed to compute the CFA from SP. 7. 4 byte spill slots are used in the stack frame. One slot is allocated for an emergency spill slot. Buffer instructions are used for stack accesses and not the ``flat_scratch`` instruction. .. TODO:: Explain when the emergency spill slot is used. .. TODO:: Possible broken issues: - Stack arguments must be aligned to required alignment. - Stack is aligned to max(16, max formal argument alignment) - Direct argument < 64 bits should check register budget. - Register budget calculation should respect ``inreg`` for SGPR. - SGPR overflow is not handled. - struct with 1 member unpeeling is not checking size of member. - ``sret`` is after ``this`` pointer. - Caller is not implementing stack realignment: need an extra pointer. - Should say AMDGPU passes FP rather than SP. - Should CFI define CFA as address of locals or arguments. Difference is apparent when have implemented dynamic alignment. - If ``SCRATCH`` instruction could allow negative offsets, then can make FP be highest address of stack frame and use negative offset for locals. Would allow SP to be the same as FP and could support signal-handler-like as now have a real SP for the top of the stack. - How is ``sret`` passed on the stack? In argument stack area? Can it overlay arguments?

The driver is required to program each specified register to the corresponding specified value when executing this pipeline. Typically, the ``reg offsets`` are the ``uint16_t`` offsets to each register as defined by the hardware chip headers. The register is set to the provided value. However, a ``reg offset`` that specifies a user data register (e.g., COMPUTE_USER_DATA_0) needs special treatment. See :ref:`amdgpu-amdpal-code-object-user-data-section` section for more information. ========================== ============== ==================================================================== .. _amdgpu-amdpal-code-object-user-data-section: User Data +++++++++ Each hardware stage has a set of 32-bit physical SPI *user data registers* (either 16 or 32 based on graphics IP and the stage) which can be written from a command buffer and then loaded into SGPRs when waves are launched via a subsequent dispatch or draw operation. This is the way most arguments are passed from the application/runtime to a hardware shader. PAL abstracts this functionality by exposing a set of 128 *user data entries* per pipeline a client can use to pass arguments from a command buffer to one or more shaders in that pipeline. The ELF code object must specify a mapping from virtualized *user data entries* to physical *user data registers*, and PAL is responsible for implementing that mapping, including spilling overflow *user data entries* to memory if needed. Since the *user data registers* are GRBM-accessible SPI registers, this mapping is actually embedded in the ``.registers`` metadata entry. For most registers, the value in that map is a literal 32-bit value that should be written to the register by the driver. However, when the register is a *user data register* (any USER_DATA register e.g., SPI_SHADER_USER_DATA_PS_5), the value is instead an encoding that tells the driver to write either a *user data entry* value or one of several driver-internal values to the register. This encoding is described in the following table: .. note:: Currently, *user data registers* 0 and 1 (e.g., SPI_SHADER_USER_DATA_PS_0, and SPI_SHADER_USER_DATA_PS_1) are reserved. *User data register* 0 must always be programmed to the address of the GlobalTable, and *user data register* 1 must always be programmed to the address of the PerShaderTable. .. .. table:: AMDPAL User Data Mapping :name: amdgpu-amdpal-code-object-metadata-user-data-mapping-table ========== ================= =============================================================================== Value Name Description ========== ================= =============================================================================== 0..127 *User Data Entry* 32-bit value of user_data_entry[N] as specified via *CmdSetUserData()* 0x10000000 GlobalTable 32-bit pointer to GPU memory containing the global internal table (should always point to *user data register* 0). 0x10000001 PerShaderTable 32-bit pointer to GPU memory containing the per-shader internal table.

The high 32 bits of the address match the high 32 bits of the shader's program counter. The buffer can be anything the shader compiler needs it for, and allows each shader to have its own region of the ``.data`` section. Typically, this could be a table of buffer SRD's and the data pointed to by the buffer SRD's, but it could be a flat-address region of memory as well. Its layout and usage are defined by the shader compiler. Each shader's table in the ``.data`` section is referenced by the symbol ``_amdgpu_``\ *xs*\ ``_shdr_intrl_data`` where *xs* corresponds with the hardware shader stage the data is for. E.g., ``_amdgpu_cs_shdr_intrl_data`` for the compute shader hardware stage. .. _amdgpu-amdpal-code-object-metadata-user-data-spill-table-section: Spill Table ########### It is possible for a hardware shader to need access to more *user data entries* than there are slots available in user data registers for one or more hardware shader stages. In that case, the PAL runtime expects the necessary *user data entries* to be spilled to GPU memory and use one user data register to point to the spilled user data memory. The value of the *user data entry* must then represent the location where a shader expects to read the low 32-bits of the table's GPU virtual address. The *spill table* itself represents a set of 32-bit values managed by the PAL runtime in GPU-accessible memory that can be made indirectly accessible to a hardware shader.

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-amdhsa-assembler-directive-amdgpu_hsa_kernel: .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: - *amd_code_version_major* defaults to 1. - *amd_kernel_code_version_minor* defaults to 2. - *amd_machine_kind* defaults to 1. - *amd_machine_version_major*, *machine_version_minor*, and *amd_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 6 for all targets before GFX10. For GFX10 onwards defaults to 6 if target feature ``wavefrontsize64`` is enabled, otherwise 5. Note that wavefront size is specified as a power of two, so a value of **n** means a size of 2^ **n**. - *call_convention* defaults to -1. - *kernarg_segment_alignment*, *group_segment_alignment*, and *private_segment_alignment* default to 4. Note that alignments are specified as a power of 2, so a value of **n** means an alignment of 2^ **n**. - *enable_tg_split* defaults to 1 if target feature ``tgsplit`` is enabled for GFX90A onwards. - *enable_wgp_mode* defaults to 1 if target feature ``cumode`` is disabled for GFX10 onwards. - *enable_mem_ordered* defaults to 1 for GFX10 onwards. The *.amd_kernel_code_t* directive must be placed immediately after the function label and before any instructions.

May be used to set the `.amdhsa_next_free_vgpr` directive in :ref:`amdhsa-kernel-directives-table`. May be set at any time, e.g. manually set to zero at the start of each kernel. .. _amdgpu-amdhsa-assembler-symbol-next_free_sgpr: .amdgcn.next_free_sgpr ++++++++++++++++++++++ Set to zero before assembly begins. At each instruction, if the current value of this symbol is less than or equal the maximum SGPR number explicitly referenced within that instruction then the symbol value is updated to equal that SGPR number plus one.

Directives which begin with ``.amdhsa`` are specific to ``amdgcn`` architecture processors when the ``amdhsa`` OS is specified. See :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples` and :ref:`amdgpu-processors`. .. _amdgpu-assembler-directive-amdgcn-target: .amdgcn_target "-" ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Optional directive which declares the ``-`` supported by the containing assembler source file. Used by the assembler to validate command-line options such as ``-triple``, ``-mcpu``, and ``--offload-arch=``. A non-canonical target ID is allowed. See :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples` and :ref:`amdgpu-target-id`. .. note:: The target ID syntax used for code object V2 to V3 for this directive differs from that used elsewhere. See :ref:`amdgpu-target-id-v2-v3`. .amdhsa_kernel +++++++++++++++++++++ Creates a correctly aligned AMDHSA kernel descriptor and a symbol, ``.kd``, in the current location of the current section. Only valid when the OS is ``amdhsa``. ```` must be a symbol that labels the first instruction to execute, and does not need to be previously defined. Marks the beginning of a list of directives used to generate the bytes of a kernel descriptor, as described in :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`. Directives which may appear in this list are described in :ref:`amdhsa-kernel-directives-table`. Directives may appear in any order, must be valid for the target being assembled for, and cannot be repeated. Directives support the range of values specified by the field they reference in :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`. If a directive is not specified, it is assumed to have its default value, unless it is marked as "Required", in which case it is an error to omit the directive.
