I agree that metadata should be used for function qualifiers; a prerequisite being support for non-discardable function-level metadata, which would need to be added to LLVM.

...it to be discardable. In particular, if the metadata is attached to a function, the only case I can think of where an optimiser needs to touch the metadata is if a function with metadata is inlined. And as I mentioned in my previous mail I don't think this will be any trouble for OpenCL. The __kernel attribute isn't the only attribute we need to preserve. There are also: __attribute__((vec_type_hint(type))) __attribute__((work_group_size_hint(X, Y, Z))) __attribute__((reqd_work_group_size(X, Y, Z))) which provide hints to the code generator regarding the specific work load of a particula...

Hi all, According to the SPIR 2.0 spec[1], the name of OpenCL builtins are mangled. However, when I compile OpenCl code with Clang 3.9 with the "spir64-unknown-unknown" target, Clang generates IR without mangling the builtins, e.g. for: __kernel void input_zip_int(__global int *in0) { *in0 = get_global_id(0); } clang generates: define spir_kernel void @input_zip_int(i32 addrspace(1)* nocapture %in0) local_unnamed_addr #0 !kernel_arg_addr_space !3 !kernel_arg_access_qual !4 !kernel_arg_type !5 !kernel_arg_base_type !5 !kernel_arg_type_q...

I'm guessing that __kernel in OpenCL triggers your annotation, but when I try to use annotate("doesNothing") there's no sign of "doesNothing" in the resulting IR. Thus, my attempt with the function pointers. %0 still has a different form, however. What do "sgv" and "fgv" stand fo...

...shares pointers to __private memory using barrier synchronisation, but since there is no way to queue a memory fence across __private memory (only __local and __global), any access to that memory would invoke undefined behaviour. For example, consider the following (2 work-items in a work-group): __kernel void foo() { int x = 0; int *__local p; if (get_local_id(0) == 0) p = &x; barrier(CLK_LOCAL_MEM_FENCE); if (get_local_id(0) == 1) *p = 1; barrier(CLK_LOCAL_MEM_FENCE); // what is the value of x in work-item 0 here? } The value of x at the comment is undefined, because no fence...

Hi everybody, I am testing the PTX backend using the OpenCL NVIDIA SDK benchmarks. Compiling the Histogram64.cl program I get a several backend errors. I isolated one of them in the following kernel program: __kernel void kernel_function(__global int *input) { __local char localArray[16]; for(unsigned int index = 0; index < 16; ++index) localArray[index] = 0; input[0] = localArray[get_local_id(0)]; } fatal error: error in backend: Cannot select: 0x5810cc0: i32,ch = load 0x57fa148,...

We are working on getting the documentation cleaned up to the point where it can be released. If you look at the test cases, you can infer what needs to be done. Basically since this is targeted for OpenCL, we annotate OpenCL kernels slightly different than normal functions and that is what causes the code to be generated. That being said, on my list of things to do is fix this so that any

Hi, When trying to compile a trivial opencl kernel such as: __kernel void if_eq(__global int * out, int arg0, int arg1){ out[0] = arg0==arg1?0:1; } Clang generates IR like: %1 = icmp eq i32 %arg0, %arg1 %. = zext i1 %1 to i32 This eventually crashes ISel on R600. Attached patch adds a selector so it will compile. Regards, Jon Pry jonpry at gmail.c...

Hello, I work on compiling OpenCL kernel to PTX code by clang and NVPTX with libclc. I have a kernel that contains constant variable declared in file scope like this: constant one_f = 1.0f; __kernel void test( ...){ ... } Then it is compiled to llvm-ir: @one_f = addrspace(4) const float 1.000000e+00, align 4 define void test(...){ ... } Finally ptx: .visible .global .align 4 .f32 one_f = 0f3F800000; .entry test( ...) { ... } one_f is placed in global memory and load it by ld.globa...

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck at linux.vnet.ibm.com> The sparse checking for rcu_assign_pointer() was recently upgraded to reject non-__kernel address spaces. This also rejects __rcu, which is almost always the right thing to do. However, the uses in cfg80211_combine_bsses() and cfg80211_bss_update() are legitimate: They is assigning a pointer to an element from an RCU-protected list, and all elements of this list are already visible to...

Dear Developers, I compiled a OpenCL kernel before (on Nov. last year) like __kernel void g(__global float* array) { array[get_global_id(0)] = 1; } with libclc, which would originally use the instrinsics like llvm.r600.read.local.size.x(). I executed the generated object file with one version of the hsa-runtime [1] provided by Mr. Stellard, when there was more than one workgrou...
