.. _amdgpu-target-features:

Target Features
---------------

Target features control how code is generated to support certain
processor specific features. Not all target features are supported by
all processors. The runtime must ensure that the features supported by
the device used to execute the code match the features enabled when
generating the code. A mismatch of features may result in incorrect
execution, or a reduction in performance.

The target features supported by each processor, and the default value
used if not specified explicitly, is listed in
:ref:`amdgpu-processor-table`.

Use the ``clang -m[no-]<TargetFeature>`` option to specify the AMD GPU
target features.

For example:

``-mxnack``
  Enable the ``xnack`` feature.
``-mno-xnack``
  Disable the ``xnack`` feature.

  .. table:: AMDGPU Target Features
     :name: amdgpu-target-feature-table

     ============== ==================================================
     Target Feature Description
     ============== ==================================================
     -m[no-]xnack   Enable/disable generating code that has
                    memory clauses that are compatible with
                    having XNACK replay enabled.

                    This is used for demand paging and page
                    migration. If XNACK replay is enabled in
                    the device, then if a page fault occurs
                    the code may execute incorrectly if the
                    ``xnack`` feature is not enabled. Executing
                    code that has the feature enabled on a
                    device that does not have XNACK replay
                    enabled will execute correctly, but may
                    be less performant than code with the
                    feature disabled.
     ============== ==================================================

.. _amdgpu-address-spaces:

Address Spaces
--------------

The AMDGPU backend uses the following address space mappings.

The memory space names used in the table, aside from the region memory space, is
from the OpenCL standard.

LLVM Address Space number is used throughout LLVM (for example, in LLVM IR).

.. _amdgpu-memory-scopes:

Memory Scopes
-------------

This section provides LLVM memory synchronization scopes supported by the AMDGPU
backend memory model when the target triple OS is ``amdhsa`` (see
:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model` and :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`).

The memory model supported is based on the HSA memory model [HSA]_ which is
based in turn on HRF-indirect with scope inclusion [HRF]_. The happens-before
relation is transitive over the synchonizes-with relation independent of scope,
and synchonizes-with allows the memory scope instances to be inclusive (see
table :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-llvm-sync-scopes-table`).

This is different to the OpenCL [OpenCL]_ memory model which does not have scope
inclusion and requires the memory scopes to exactly match. However, this
is conservatively correct for OpenCL.

``e_ident[EI_CLASS]``
  The ELF class is:

  * ``ELFCLASS32`` for ``r600`` architecture.

  * ``ELFCLASS64`` for ``amdgcn`` architecture which only supports 64
    bit applications.

``e_ident[EI_DATA]``
  All AMDGPU targets use ``ELFDATA2LSB`` for little-endian byte ordering.

``e_ident[EI_OSABI]``
  One of the following AMD GPU architecture specific OS ABIs
  (see :ref:`amdgpu-os-table`):

  * ``ELFOSABI_NONE`` for *unknown* OS.

  * ``ELFOSABI_AMDGPU_HSA`` for ``amdhsa`` OS.

  * ``ELFOSABI_AMDGPU_PAL`` for ``amdpal`` OS.

  * ``ELFOSABI_AMDGPU_MESA3D`` for ``mesa3D`` OS.

``e_ident[EI_ABIVERSION]``
  The ABI version of the AMD GPU architecture specific OS ABI to which the code
  object conforms:

  * ``ELFABIVERSION_AMDGPU_HSA`` is used to specify the version of AMD HSA
    runtime ABI.

  * ``ELFABIVERSION_AMDGPU_PAL`` is used to specify the version of AMD PAL
    runtime ABI.

  * ``ELFABIVERSION_AMDGPU_MESA3D`` is used to specify the version of AMD MESA
    3D runtime ABI.

``e_type``
  Can be one of the following values:


  ``ET_REL``
    The type produced by the AMD GPU backend compiler as it is relocatable code
    object.

  ``ET_DYN``
    The type produced by the linker as it is a shared code object.

  The AMD HSA runtime loader requires a ``ET_DYN`` code object.

``e_machine``
  The value ``EM_AMDGPU`` is used for the machine for all processors supported
  by the ``r600`` and ``amdgcn`` architectures (see
  :ref:`amdgpu-processor-table`). The specific processor is specified in the
  ``EF_AMDGPU_MACH`` bit field of the ``e_flags`` (see
  :ref:`amdgpu-elf-header-e_flags-table`).

``e_entry``
  The entry point is 0 as the entry points for individual kernels must be
  selected in order to invoke them through AQL packets.

``e_flags``

These sections have their standard meanings (see [ELF]_) and are only generated
if needed.

``.debug``\ *\**
  The standard DWARF sections. See :ref:`amdgpu-dwarf` for information on the
  DWARF produced by the AMDGPU backend.

``.dynamic``, ``.dynstr``, ``.dynsym``, ``.hash``
  The standard sections used by a dynamic loader.

``.note``
  See :ref:`amdgpu-note-records` for the note records supported by the AMDGPU
  backend.

``.rela``\ *name*, ``.rela.dyn``
  For relocatable code objects, *name* is the name of the section that the
  relocation records apply. For example, ``.rela.text`` is the section name for
  relocation records associated with the ``.text`` section.

  For linked shared code objects, ``.rela.dyn`` contains all the relocation
  records from each of the relocatable code object's ``.rela``\ *name* sections.

  See :ref:`amdgpu-relocation-records` for the relocation records supported by
  the AMDGPU backend.

``.text``
  The executable machine code for the kernels and functions they call. Generated
  as position independent code. See :ref:`amdgpu-code-conventions` for
  information on conventions used in the isa generation.

.. _amdgpu-note-records:

Note Records
------------

As required by ``ELFCLASS32`` and ``ELFCLASS64``, minimal zero byte padding must
be generated after the ``name`` field to ensure the ``desc`` field is 4 byte
aligned. In addition, minimal zero byte padding must be generated to ensure the
``desc`` field size is a multiple of 4 bytes. The ``sh_addralign`` field of the
``.note`` section must be at least 4 to indicate at least 8 byte alignment.

The AMDGPU backend code object uses the following ELF note records in the
``.note`` section. The *Description* column specifies the layout of the note
record's ``desc`` field. All fields are consecutive bytes. Note records with
variable size strings have a corresponding ``*_size`` field that specifies the
number of bytes, including the terminating null character, in the string. The
string(s) come immediately after the preceding fields.

Additional note records can be present.

  Specifies extensible metadata associated with the code objects executed on HSA
  [HSA]_ compatible runtimes such as AMD's ROCm [AMD-ROCm]_. It is required when

Symbols
-------

Symbols include the following:

  .. table:: AMDGPU ELF Symbols

     ===================== ============== ============= ==================
     Name                  Type           Section       Description

     *link-name*           ``STT_FUNC``   - ``.text``   Kernel entry point
     ===================== ============== ============= ==================

Global variable
  Global variables both used and defined by the compilation unit.

  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.

  All global symbols, whether defined in the compilation unit or external, are
  accessed by the machine code indirectly through a GOT table entry. This
  allows them to be preemptable. The GOT table is only supported when the target
  triple OS is ``amdhsa`` (see :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`).

  .. TODO
     Add description of linked shared object symbols. Seems undefined symbols
     are marked as STT_NOTYPE.

Kernel descriptor
  Every HSA kernel has an associated kernel descriptor. It is the address of the
  kernel descriptor that is used in the AQL dispatch packet used to invoke the
  kernel, not the kernel entry point. The layout of the HSA kernel descriptor is
  defined in :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`.

Kernel entry point
  Every HSA kernel also has a symbol for its machine code entry point.

.. _amdgpu-relocation-records:

Relocation Records
------------------

AMDGPU backend generates ``Elf64_Rela`` relocation records. Supported
relocatable fields are:

``word32``
  This specifies a 32-bit field occupying 4 bytes with arbitrary byte
  alignment. These values use the same byte order as other word values in the
  AMD GPU architecture.

``word64``
  This specifies a 64-bit field occupying 8 bytes with arbitrary byte
  alignment. These values use the same byte order as other word values in the
  AMD GPU architecture.

Following notations are used for specifying relocation calculations:

**A**
  Represents the addend used to compute the value of the relocatable field.

**G**
  Represents the offset into the global offset table at which the relocation
  entry's symbol will reside during execution.

**GOT**
  Represents the address of the global offset table.

**P**
  Represents the place (section offset for ``et_rel`` or address for ``et_dyn``)
  of the storage unit being relocated (computed using ``r_offset``).

**S**
  Represents the value of the symbol whose index resides in the relocation
  entry. Relocations not using this must specify a symbol index of ``STN_UNDEF``.

**B**
  Represents the base address of a loaded executable or shared object which is
  the difference between the ELF address and the actual load address. Relocations
  using this are only valid in executable or shared objects.

The following relocation types are supported:

  .. table:: AMDGPU ELF Relocation Records

``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-dwarf:

DWARF
-----

Standard DWARF [DWARF]_ Version 5 sections can be generated. These contain
information that maps the code object executable code and data to the source
language constructs. It can be used by tools such as debuggers and profilers.

Address Space Mapping
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The following address space mapping is used:

  .. table:: AMDGPU DWARF Address Space Mapping
     :name: amdgpu-dwarf-address-space-mapping-table

     =================== =================
     DWARF Address Space Memory Space
     =================== =================
     1                   Private (Scratch)
     2                   Local (group/LDS)
     *omitted*           Global
     *omitted*           Constant
     *omitted*           Generic (Flat)
     *not supported*     Region (GDS)
     =================== =================

See :ref:`amdgpu-address-spaces` for information on the memory space terminology
used in the table.

An ``address_class`` attribute is generated on pointer type DIEs to specify the
DWARF address space of the value of the pointer when it is in the *private* or
*local* address space. Otherwise the attribute is omitted.

An ``XDEREF`` operation is generated in location list expressions for variables
that are allocated in the *private* and *local* address space. Otherwise no
``XDREF`` is omitted.

Register Mapping
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*This section is WIP.*

.. TODO
   Define DWARF register enumeration.

   If want to present a wavefront state then should expose vector registers as
   64 wide (rather than per work-item view that LLVM uses). Either as separate
   registers, or a 64x4 byte single register. In either case use a new LANE op
   (akin to XDREF) to select the current lane usage in a location
   expression. This would also allow scalar register spilling to vector register
   lanes to be expressed (currently no debug information is being generated for
   spilling). If choose a wide single register approach then use LANE in
   conjunction with PIECE operation to select the dword part of the register for
   the current lane. If the separate register approach then use LANE to select
   the register.

Source Text
~~~~~~~~~~~

Source text for online-compiled programs (e.g. those compiled by the OpenCL
runtime) may be embedded into the DWARF v5 line table using the ``clang
-gembed-source`` option, described in table :ref:`amdgpu-debug-options`.

For example:

``-gembed-source``
  Enable the embedded source DWARF v5 extension.
``-gno-embed-source``
  Disable the embedded source DWARF v5 extension.

  .. table:: AMDGPU Debug Options
     :name: amdgpu-debug-options

     ==================== ==================================================
     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.
     ==================== ==================================================

This option enables one extended content types in the DWARF v5 Line Number
Program Header, which is used to encode embedded source.

  .. table:: AMDGPU DWARF Line Number Program Header Extended Content Types
     :name: amdgpu-dwarf-extended-content-types

     ============================  ======================
     Content Type                  Form
     ============================  ======================
     ``DW_LNCT_LLVM_source``       ``DW_FORM_line_strp``
     ============================  ======================

The source field will contain the UTF-8 encoded, null-terminated source text
with ``'\n'`` line endings. When the source field is present, consumers can use
the embedded source instead of attempting to discover the source on disk. When
the source field is absent, consumers can access the file to get the source
text.

The above content type appears in the ``file_name_entry_format`` field of the
line table prologue, and its corresponding value appear in the ``file_names``
field. The current encoding of the content type is documented in table
:ref:`amdgpu-dwarf-extended-content-types-encoding`

  .. table:: AMDGPU DWARF Line Number Program Header Extended Content Types Encoding
     :name: amdgpu-dwarf-extended-content-types-encoding

     ============================  ====================
     Content Type                  Value
     ============================  ====================
     ``DW_LNCT_LLVM_source``       0x2001
     ============================  ====================

.. _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-hsa-code-object-metadata:

Code Object Target Identification
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The AMDHSA OS uses the following syntax to specify the code object
target as a single string:

  ``<Architecture>-<Vendor>-<OS>-<Environment>-<Processor><Target Features>``

Where:

  - ``<Architecture>``, ``<Vendor>``, ``<OS>`` and ``<Environment>``
    are the same as the *Target Triple* (see
    :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`).

  - ``<Processor>`` is the same as the *Processor* (see
    :ref:`amdgpu-processors`).

  - ``<Target Features>`` is a list of the enabled *Target Features*
    (see :ref:`amdgpu-target-features`), each prefixed by a plus, that
    apply to *Processor*. The list must be in the same order as listed
    in the table :ref:`amdgpu-target-feature-table`. Note that *Target
    Features* must be included in the list if they are enabled even if
    that is the default for *Processor*.

For example:

  ``"amdgcn-amd-amdhsa--gfx902+xnack"``

Code Object Metadata
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The code object metadata specifies extensible metadata associated with the code
objects executed on HSA [HSA]_ compatible runtimes such as AMD's ROCm
[AMD-ROCm]_. It is specified by the ``NT_AMD_AMDGPU_HSA_METADATA`` note record
(see :ref:`amdgpu-note-records`) and is required when the target triple OS is
``amdhsa`` (see :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`). It must contain the minimum
information necessary to support the ROCM kernel queries. For example, the
segment sizes needed in a dispatch packet. In addition, a high level language
runtime may require other information to be included. For example, the AMD
OpenCL runtime records kernel argument information.

The metadata is specified as a YAML formatted string (see [YAML]_ and
:doc:`YamlIO`).

.. TODO
   Is the string null terminated? It probably should not if YAML allows it to
   contain null characters, otherwise it should be.

The metadata is represented as a single YAML document comprised of the mapping
defined in table :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-code-object-metadata-mapping-table` and
referenced tables.

For boolean values, the string values of ``false`` and ``true`` are used for
false and true respectively.

Additional information can be added to the mappings. To avoid conflicts, any
non-AMD key names should be prefixed by "*vendor-name*.".

Kernel Dispatch
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The HSA architected queuing language (AQL) defines a user space memory interface
that can be used to control the dispatch of kernels, in an agent independent
way. An agent can have zero or more AQL queues created for it using the ROCm
runtime, in which AQL packets (all of which are 64 bytes) can be placed. See the
*HSA Platform System Architecture Specification* [HSA]_ for the AQL queue
mechanics and packet layouts.

The packet processor of a kernel agent is responsible for detecting and
dispatching HSA kernels from the AQL queues associated with it. For AMD GPUs the
packet processor is implemented by the hardware command processor (CP),
asynchronous dispatch controller (ADC) and shader processor input controller
(SPI).

The ROCm runtime can be used to allocate an AQL queue object. It uses the kernel
mode driver to initialize and register the AQL queue with CP.

To dispatch a kernel the following actions are performed. This can occur in the
CPU host program, or from an HSA kernel executing on a GPU.

1. A pointer to an AQL queue for the kernel agent on which the kernel is to be
   executed is obtained.
2. A pointer to the kernel descriptor (see
   :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`) of the kernel to execute is
   obtained. It must be for a kernel that is contained in a code object that that
   was loaded by the ROCm runtime on the kernel agent with which the AQL queue is
   associated.
3. Space is allocated for the kernel arguments using the ROCm runtime allocator
   for a memory region with the kernarg property for the kernel agent that will
   execute the kernel. It must be at least 16 byte aligned.
4. Kernel argument values are assigned to the kernel argument memory
   allocation. The layout is defined in the *HSA Programmer's Language Reference*
   [HSA]_. For AMDGPU the kernel execution directly accesses the kernel argument
   memory in the same way constant memory is accessed. (Note that the HSA
   specification allows an implementation to copy the kernel argument contents to
   another location that is accessed by the kernel.)
5. An AQL kernel dispatch packet is created on the AQL queue. The ROCm runtime
   api uses 64 bit atomic operations to reserve space in the AQL queue for the
   packet. The packet must be set up, and the final write must use an atomic
   store release to set the packet kind to ensure the packet contents are
   visible to the kernel agent. AQL defines a doorbell signal mechanism to
   notify the kernel agent that the AQL queue has been updated. These rules, and
   the layout of the AQL queue and kernel dispatch packet is defined in the *HSA
   System Architecture Specification* [HSA]_.
6. A kernel dispatch packet includes information about the actual dispatch,
   such as grid and work-group size, together with information from the code
   object about the kernel, such as segment sizes. The ROCm runtime queries on
   the kernel symbol can be used to obtain the code object values which are
   recorded in the :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-hsa-code-object-metadata`.
7. CP executes micro-code and is responsible for detecting and setting up the
   GPU to execute the wavefronts of a kernel dispatch.
8. CP ensures that when the a wavefront starts executing the kernel machine
   code, the scalar general purpose registers (SGPR) and vector general purpose
   registers (VGPR) are set up as required by the machine code. The required
   setup is defined in the :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`. The initial
   register state is defined in
   :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`.
9. The prolog of the kernel machine code (see
   :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog`) sets up the machine state as necessary
   before continuing executing the machine code that corresponds to the kernel.
10. When the kernel dispatch has completed execution, CP signals the completion
    signal specified in the kernel dispatch packet if not 0.

     ================= =========== ======== ======= ==================

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.

The generic address space uses the hardware flat address support available in
GFX7-GFX9. This uses two fixed ranges of virtual addresses (the private and
local appertures), that are outside the range of addressible global memory, to
map from a flat address to a private or local address.

FLAT instructions can take a flat address and access global, private (scratch)
and group (LDS) memory depending in if the address is within one of the
apperture ranges. Flat access to scratch requires hardware aperture setup and
setup in the kernel prologue (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-flat-scratch`). Flat
access to LDS requires hardware aperture setup and M0 (GFX7-GFX8) register setup
(see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-m0`).

To convert between a segment address and a flat address the base address of the
appertures address can be used. For GFX7-GFX8 these are available in the
:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-hsa-aql-queue` the address of which can be obtained with
Queue Ptr SGPR (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`). For
GFX9 the appature base addresses are directly available as inline constant
registers ``SRC_SHARED_BASE/LIMIT`` and ``SRC_PRIVATE_BASE/LIMIT``. In 64 bit
address mode the apperture sizes are 2^32 bytes and the base is aligned to 2^32
which makes it easier to convert from flat to segment or segment to flat.

Image and Samplers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Image and sample handles created by the ROCm runtime are 64 bit addresses of a
hardware 32 byte V# and 48 byte S# object respectively. In order to support the
HSA ``query_sampler`` operations two extra dwords are used to store the HSA BRIG
enumeration values for the queries that are not trivially deducible from the S#
representation.

HSA Signals
~~~~~~~~~~~

HSA signal handles created by the ROCm runtime are 64 bit addresses of a
structure allocated in memory accessible from both the CPU and GPU. The
structure is defined by the ROCm runtime and subject to change between releases
(see [AMD-ROCm-github]_).

.. _amdgpu-amdhsa-hsa-aql-queue:

HSA AQL Queue
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The HSA AQL queue structure is defined by the ROCm runtime and subject to change
between releases (see [AMD-ROCm-github]_). For some processors it contains
fields needed to implement certain language features such as the flat address
aperture bases. It also contains fields used by CP such as managing the
allocation of scratch memory.

.. _amdgpu-amdhsa-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.

Kernel Descriptor for GFX6-GFX9
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

CP microcode requires the Kernel descritor to be allocated on 64 byte alignment.

Initial Kernel Execution State
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This section defines the register state that will be set up by the packet
processor prior to the start of execution of every wavefront. This is limited by
the constraints of the hardware controllers of CP/ADC/SPI.

The order of the SGPR registers is defined, but the compiler can specify which
ones are actually setup in the kernel descriptor using the ``enable_sgpr_*`` bit
fields (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`). The register numbers used
for enabled registers are dense starting at SGPR0: the first enabled register is
SGPR0, the next enabled register is SGPR1 etc.; disabled registers do not have
an SGPR number.

The initial SGPRs comprise up to 16 User SRGPs that are set by CP and apply to
all 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`.

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.

VGPR register initial state is defined in
:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-vgpr-register-set-up-order-table`.

The setting of registers is done by GPU CP/ADC/SPI hardware as follows:

1. SGPRs before the Work-Group Ids are set by CP using the 16 User Data
   registers.
2. Work-group Id registers X, Y, Z are set by ADC which supports any
   combination including none.
3. Scratch Wavefront Offset is set by SPI in a per wavefront basis which is why
   its value cannot included with the flat scratch init value which is per queue.
4. The VGPRs are set by SPI which only supports specifying either (X), (X, Y)
   or (X, Y, Z).

Flat Scratch register pair are adjacent SGRRs so they can be moved as a 64 bit
value to the hardware required SGPRn-3 and SGPRn-4 respectively.

The global segment can be accessed either using buffer instructions (GFX6 which
has V# 64 bit address support), flat instructions (GFX7-GFX9), or global
instructions (GFX9).

If buffer operations are used then the compiler can generate a V# with the
following properties:

* base address of 0
* no swizzle
* ATC: 1 if IOMMU present (such as APU)
* ptr64: 1
* MTYPE set to support memory coherence that matches the runtime (such as CC for
  APU and NC for dGPU).

Kernel Prolog

.. _amdgpu-amdhsa-m0:

M0
++

GFX6-GFX8
  The M0 register must be initialized with a value at least the total LDS size
  if the kernel may access LDS via DS or flat operations. Total LDS size is
  available in dispatch packet. For M0, it is also possible to use maximum
  possible value of LDS for given target (0x7FFF for GFX6 and 0xFFFF for
  GFX7-GFX8).
GFX9
  The M0 register is not used for range checking LDS accesses and so does not
  need to be initialized in the prolog.

.. _amdgpu-amdhsa-flat-scratch:

Flat Scratch
++++++++++++

If the kernel may use flat operations to access scratch memory, the prolog code
must set up FLAT_SCRATCH register pair (FLAT_SCRATCH_LO/FLAT_SCRATCH_HI which
are in SGPRn-4/SGPRn-3). Initialization uses Flat Scratch Init and Scratch Wavefront
Offset SGPR registers (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`):

GFX6
  Flat scratch is not supported.

GFX7-GFX8
  1. The low word of Flat Scratch Init is 32 bit byte offset from
     ``SH_HIDDEN_PRIVATE_BASE_VIMID`` to the base of scratch backing memory
     being managed by SPI for the queue executing the kernel dispatch. This is
     the same value used in the Scratch Segment Buffer V# base address. The
     prolog must add the value of Scratch Wavefront Offset to get the wavefront's byte
     scratch backing memory offset from ``SH_HIDDEN_PRIVATE_BASE_VIMID``. Since
     FLAT_SCRATCH_LO is in units of 256 bytes, the offset must be right shifted
     by 8 before moving into FLAT_SCRATCH_LO.
  2. The second word of Flat Scratch Init is 32 bit byte size of a single
     work-items scratch memory usage. This is directly loaded from the kernel
     dispatch packet Private Segment Byte Size and rounded up to a multiple of
     DWORD. Having CP load it once avoids loading it at the beginning of every
     wavefront. The prolog must move it to FLAT_SCRATCH_LO for use as FLAT SCRATCH
     SIZE.

GFX9
  The Flat Scratch Init is the 64 bit address of the base of scratch backing
  memory being managed by SPI for the queue executing the kernel dispatch. The
  prolog must add the value of Scratch Wavefront Offset and moved to the FLAT_SCRATCH
  pair for use as the flat scratch base in flat memory instructions.

.. _amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model:

Memory Model
~~~~~~~~~~~~

This section describes the mapping of LLVM memory model onto AMDGPU machine code
(see :ref:`memmodel`). *The implementation is WIP.*

.. TODO
   Update when implementation complete.

The AMDGPU backend supports the memory synchronization scopes specified in
:ref:`amdgpu-memory-scopes`.

The code sequences used to implement the memory model are defined in table
:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model-code-sequences-gfx6-gfx9-table`.

The sequences specify the order of instructions that a single thread must
execute. The ``s_waitcnt`` and ``buffer_wbinvl1_vol`` are defined with respect
to other memory instructions executed by the same thread. This allows them to be
moved earlier or later which can allow them to be combined with other instances
of the same instruction, or hoisted/sunk out of loops to improve
performance. Only the instructions related to the memory model are given;
additional ``s_waitcnt`` instructions are required to ensure registers are
defined before being used. These may be able to be combined with the memory
model ``s_waitcnt`` instructions as described above.

The AMDGPU backend supports the following memory models:

  HSA Memory Model [HSA]_
    The HSA memory model uses a single happens-before relation for all address
    spaces (see :ref:`amdgpu-address-spaces`).
  OpenCL Memory Model [OpenCL]_
    The OpenCL memory model which has separate happens-before relations for the
    global and local address spaces. Only a fence specifying both global and
    local address space, and seq_cst instructions join the relationships. Since
    the LLVM ``memfence`` instruction does not allow an address space to be
    specified the OpenCL fence has to convervatively assume both local and
    global address space was specified. However, optimizations can often be
    done to eliminate the additional ``s_waitcnt`` instructions when there are
    no intervening memory instructions which access the corresponding address
    space. The code sequences in the table indicate what can be omitted for the
    OpenCL memory. The target triple environment is used to determine if the
    source language is OpenCL (see :ref:`amdgpu-opencl`).

``ds/flat_load/store/atomic`` instructions to local memory are termed LDS
operations.

``buffer/global/flat_load/store/atomic`` instructions to global memory are
termed vector memory operations.

For GFX6-GFX9:

* Each agent has multiple compute units (CU).
* Each CU has multiple SIMDs that execute wavefronts.
* The wavefronts for a single work-group are executed in the same CU but may be
  executed by different SIMDs.
* Each CU has a single LDS memory shared by the wavefronts of the work-groups
  executing on it.
* All LDS operations of a CU are performed as wavefront wide operations in a
  global order and involve no caching. Completion is reported to a wavefront in
  execution order.
* The LDS memory has multiple request queues shared by the SIMDs of a
  CU. Therefore, the LDS operations performed by different 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.

Private address space uses ``buffer_load/store`` using the scratch V# (GFX6-GFX8),
or ``scratch_load/store`` (GFX9). Since only a single thread is accessing the
memory, atomic memory orderings are not meaningful and all accesses are treated
as non-atomic.

Constant address space uses ``buffer/global_load`` instructions (or equivalent
scalar memory instructions). Since the constant address space contents do not
change during the execution of a kernel dispatch it is not legal to perform
stores, and atomic memory orderings are not meaningful and all access are
treated as non-atomic.

A memory synchronization scope wider than work-group is not meaningful for the
group (LDS) address space and is treated as work-group.

The memory model does not support the region address space which is treated as
non-atomic.

Acquire memory ordering is not meaningful on store atomic instructions and is
treated as non-atomic.

Release memory ordering is not meaningful on load atomic instructions and is
treated a non-atomic.

Acquire-release memory ordering is not meaningful on load or store atomic
instructions and is treated as acquire and release respectively.

AMDGPU backend only uses scalar memory operations to access memory that is
proven to not change during the execution of the kernel dispatch. This includes
constant address space and global address space for program scope const
variables. Therefore the kernel machine code does not have to maintain the
scalar L1 cache to ensure it is coherent with the vector L1 cache. The scalar
and vector L1 caches are invalidated between kernel dispatches by CP since
constant address space data may change between kernel dispatch executions. See
:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-spaces`.

The one execption is if scalar writes are used to spill SGPR registers. In this
case the AMDGPU backend ensures the memory location used to spill is never
accessed by vector memory operations at the same time. If scalar writes are used
then a ``s_dcache_wb`` is inserted before the ``s_endpgm`` and before a function
return since the locations may be used for vector memory instructions by a
future 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.

Scratch backing memory (which is used for the private address space)
is accessed with MTYPE NC_NV (non-coherenent non-volatile). Since the private
address space is only accessed by a single thread, and is always
write-before-read, there is never a need to invalidate these entries from the L1
cache. Hence all cache invalidates are done as ``*_vol`` to only invalidate the
volatile cache lines.

On dGPU the kernarg backing memory is accessed as UC (uncached) to avoid needing
to invalidate the L2 cache. This also causes it to be treated as
non-volatile and so is not invalidated by ``*_vol``. On APU it is accessed as CC
(cache coherent) and so the L2 cache will coherent with the CPU and other
agents.

AMDPAL
------

This section provides code conventions used when the target triple OS is
``amdpal`` (see :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`) for passing runtime parameters
from the application/runtime to each invocation of a hardware shader. These
parameters include both generic, application-controlled parameters called
*user data* as well as system-generated parameters that are a product of the
draw or dispatch execution.

User Data
~~~~~~~~~

Each hardware stage has a set of 32-bit *user data registers* 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.

Compute User Data
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Compute shader user data mappings are simpler than graphics shaders, and have a
fixed mapping.

Note that there are always 10 available *user data entries* in registers -
entries beyond that limit must be fetched from memory (via the spill table
pointer) by the shader.

  .. table:: PAL Compute Shader User Data Registers
     :name: pal-compute-user-data-registers

     ============= ================================
     User Register Description
     ============= ================================
     0             Global Internal Table (32-bit pointer)
     1             Per-Shader Internal Table (32-bit pointer)
     2 - 11        Application-Controlled User Data (10 32-bit values)
     12            Spill Table (32-bit pointer)
     13 - 14       Thread Group Count (64-bit pointer)
     15            GDS Range
     ============= ================================

Graphics User Data
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Graphics pipelines support a much more flexible user data mapping:

  .. table:: PAL Graphics Shader User Data Registers
     :name: pal-graphics-user-data-registers

     ============= ================================
     User Register Description
     ============= ================================
     0             Global Internal Table (32-bit pointer)
     +             Per-Shader Internal Table (32-bit pointer)
     + 1-15        Application Controlled User Data
                   (1-15 Contiguous 32-bit Values in Registers)
     +             Spill Table (32-bit pointer)
     +             Draw Index (First Stage Only)
     +             Vertex Offset (First Stage Only)
     +             Instance Offset (First Stage Only)
     ============= ================================

  The placement of the global internal table remains fixed in the first *user
  data SGPR register*. Otherwise all parameters are optional, and can be mapped
  to any desired *user data SGPR register*, with the following regstrictions:

  * Draw Index, Vertex Offset, and Instance Offset can only be used by the first
    activehardware stage in a graphics pipeline (i.e. where the API vertex
    shader runs).

  * Application-controlled user data must be mapped into a contiguous range of
    user data registers.

  * The application-controlled user data range supports compaction remapping, so
    only *entries* that are actually consumed by the shader must be assigned to
    corresponding *registers*. Note that in order to support an efficient runtime
    implementation, the remapping must pack *registers* in the same order as
    *entries*, with unused *entries* removed.

.. _pal_global_internal_table:

Global Internal Table
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The global internal table is a table of *shader resource descriptors* (SRDs) that
define how certain engine-wide, runtime-managed resources should be accessed
from a shader. The majority of these resources have HW-defined formats, and it
is up to the compiler to write/read data as required by the target hardware.

The following table illustrates the required format:

  .. table:: PAL Global Internal Table
     :name: pal-git-table

     ============= ================================
     Offset        Description
     ============= ================================
     0-3           Graphics Scratch SRD
     4-7           Compute Scratch SRD
     8-11          ES/GS Ring Output SRD
     12-15         ES/GS Ring Input SRD
     16-19         GS/VS Ring Output #0
     20-23         GS/VS Ring Output #1
     24-27         GS/VS Ring Output #2
     28-31         GS/VS Ring Output #3
     32-35         GS/VS Ring Input SRD
     36-39         Tessellation Factor Buffer SRD
     40-43         Off-Chip LDS Buffer SRD
     44-47         Off-Chip Param Cache Buffer SRD
     48-51         Sample Position Buffer SRD
     52            vaRange::ShadowDescriptorTable High Bits
     ============= ================================

  The pointer to the global internal table passed to the shader as user data
  is a 32-bit pointer. The top 32 bits should be assumed to be the same as
  the top 32 bits of the pipeline, so the shader may use the program
  counter's top 32 bits.

Unspecified OS
--------------

This section provides code conventions used when the target triple OS is
empty (see :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`).

not install a trap handler. The ``llvm.trap`` and ``llvm.debugtrap``
instructions are handled as follows:

Assembler
---------

AMDGPU backend has LLVM-MC based assembler which is currently in development.
It supports AMDGCN GFX6-GFX9.

This section describes general syntax for instructions and operands.

Instructions
~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. toctree::
   :hidden:

   AMDGPUAsmGFX7
   AMDGPUAsmGFX8
   AMDGPUAsmGFX9
   AMDGPUOperandSyntax

An instruction has the following syntax:

    *<opcode> <operand0>, <operand1>,... <modifier0> <modifier1>...*

Note that operands are normally comma-separated while modifiers are space-separated.

The order of operands and modifiers is fixed. Most modifiers are optional and may be omitted.

See detailed instruction syntax description for :doc:`GFX7<AMDGPUAsmGFX7>`,
:doc:`GFX8<AMDGPUAsmGFX8>` and :doc:`GFX9<AMDGPUAsmGFX9>`.

Note that features under development are not included in this description.

For more information about instructions, their semantics and supported combinations of
operands, refer to one of instruction set architecture manuals
[AMD-GCN-GFX6]_, [AMD-GCN-GFX7]_, [AMD-GCN-GFX8]_ and [AMD-GCN-GFX9]_.

Operands
~~~~~~~~

The following syntax for register operands is supported:

* SGPR registers: s0, ... or s[0], ...
* VGPR registers: v0, ... or v[0], ...
* TTMP registers: ttmp0, ... or ttmp[0], ...
* Special registers: exec (exec_lo, exec_hi), vcc (vcc_lo, vcc_hi), flat_scratch (flat_scratch_lo, flat_scratch_hi)
* Special trap registers: tba (tba_lo, tba_hi), tma (tma_lo, tma_hi)
* Register pairs, quads, etc: s[2:3], v[10:11], ttmp[5:6], s[4:7], v[12:15], ttmp[4:7], s[8:15], ...
* Register lists: [s0, s1], [ttmp0, ttmp1, ttmp2, ttmp3]
* Register index expressions: v[2*2], s[1-1:2-1]
* 'off' indicates that an operand is not enabled

Unless otherwise mentioned, little verification is performed on the operands
of SOPP Instructions, so it is up to the programmer to be familiar with the
range or acceptable values.

VALU
++++

For vector ALU instruction opcodes (VOP1, VOP2, VOP3, VOPC, VOP_DPP, VOP_SDWA),
the assembler will automatically use optimal encoding based on its operands.
To force specific encoding, one can add a suffix to the opcode of the instruction:

* _e32 for 32-bit VOP1/VOP2/VOPC
* _e64 for 64-bit VOP3
* _dpp for VOP_DPP
* _sdwa for VOP_SDWA

HSA Code Object Directives
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AMDGPU ABI defines auxiliary data in output code object. In assembly source,
one can specify them with assembler directives.

.hsa_code_object_version major, minor
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

*major* and *minor* are integers that specify the version of the HSA code
object that will be generated by the assembler.

.hsa_code_object_isa [major, minor, stepping, vendor, arch]
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


*major*, *minor*, and *stepping* are all integers that describe the instruction
set architecture (ISA) version of the assembly program.

*vendor* and *arch* are quoted strings.  *vendor* should always be equal to
"AMD" and *arch* should always be equal to "AMDGPU".

By default, the assembler will derive the ISA version, *vendor*, and *arch*
from the value of the -mcpu option that is passed to the assembler.

.amdgpu_hsa_kernel (name)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++

This directives specifies that the symbol with given name is a kernel entry point
(label) and the object should contain corresponding symbol of type STT_AMDGPU_HSA_KERNEL.

.amd_kernel_code_t
++++++++++++++++++

This directive marks the beginning of a list of key / value pairs that are used
to specify the amd_kernel_code_t object that will be emitted by the assembler.
The list must be terminated by the *.end_amd_kernel_code_t* directive.  For
any amd_kernel_code_t values that are unspecified a default value will be
used.  The default value for all keys is 0, with the following exceptions:

- *kernel_code_version_major* defaults to 1.
- *machine_kind* defaults to 1.
- *machine_version_major*, *machine_version_minor*, and
  *machine_version_stepping* are derived from the value of the -mcpu option
  that is passed to the assembler.
- *kernel_code_entry_byte_offset* defaults to 256.
- *wavefront_size* defaults to 6.
- *kernarg_segment_alignment*, *group_segment_alignment*, and
  *private_segment_alignment* default to 4. Note that alignments are specified
  as a power of two, so a value of **n** means an alignment of 2^ **n**.

The *.amd_kernel_code_t* directive must be placed immediately after the
function label and before any instructions.

For a full list of amd_kernel_code_t keys, refer to AMDGPU ABI document,
comments in lib/Target/AMDGPU/AmdKernelCodeT.h and test/CodeGen/AMDGPU/hsa.s.

Here is an example of a minimal amd_kernel_code_t specification:

.. code-block:: none

   .hsa_code_object_version 1,0
   .hsa_code_object_isa

   .hsatext
   .globl  hello_world
   .p2align 8
   .amdgpu_hsa_kernel hello_world

   hello_world:

      .amd_kernel_code_t
         enable_sgpr_kernarg_segment_ptr = 1
         is_ptr64 = 1
         compute_pgm_rsrc1_vgprs = 0
         compute_pgm_rsrc1_sgprs = 0
         compute_pgm_rsrc2_user_sgpr = 2
         kernarg_segment_byte_size = 8
         wavefront_sgpr_count = 2
         workitem_vgpr_count = 3
     .end_amd_kernel_code_t

     s_load_dwordx2 s[0:1], s[0:1] 0x0
     v_mov_b32 v0, 3.14159
     s_waitcnt lgkmcnt(0)
     v_mov_b32 v1, s0
     v_mov_b32 v2, s1
     flat_store_dword v[1:2], v0
     s_endpgm
