255Memory Scopes
256-------------
257
258This section provides LLVM memory synchronization scopes supported by the AMDGPU
259backend memory model when the target triple OS is ``amdhsa`` (see
260:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model` and :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`).
261
262The memory model supported is based on the HSA memory model [HSA]_ which is
263based in turn on HRF-indirect with scope inclusion [HRF]_. The happens-before
264relation is transitive over the synchonizes-with relation independent of scope,
265and synchonizes-with allows the memory scope instances to be inclusive (see
266table :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-llvm-sync-scopes-amdhsa-table`).
267
268This is different to the OpenCL [OpenCL]_ memory model which does not have scope
269inclusion and requires the memory scopes to exactly match. However, this
270is conservatively correct for OpenCL.

382
383``e_ident[EI_CLASS]``
384  The ELF class is always ``ELFCLASS64``. The AMDGPU backend only supports 64 bit
385  applications.
386
387``e_ident[EI_DATA]``
388  All AMDGPU targets use ELFDATA2LSB for little-endian byte ordering.
389
390``e_ident[EI_OSABI]``
391  The AMD GPU architecture specific OS ABI of ``ELFOSABI_AMDGPU_HSA`` is used to
392  specify that the code object conforms to the AMD HSA runtime ABI [HSA]_.
393
394``e_ident[EI_ABIVERSION]``
395  The AMD GPU architecture specific OS ABI version of
396  ``ELFABIVERSION_AMDGPU_HSA`` is used to specify the version of AMD HSA runtime
397  ABI to which the code object conforms.
398
399``e_type``
400  Can be one of the following values:
401
402
403  ``ET_REL``
404    The type produced by the AMD GPU backend compiler as it is relocatable code
405    object.
406
407  ``ET_DYN``
408    The type produced by the linker as it is a shared code object.
409
410  The AMD HSA runtime loader requires a ``ET_DYN`` code object.
411
412``e_machine``
413  The value ``EM_AMDGPU`` is used for the machine for all members of the AMD GPU
414  architecture family. The specific member is specified in the
415  ``NT_AMD_AMDGPU_ISA`` entry in the ``.note`` section (see
416  :ref:`amdgpu-note-records`).
417
418``e_entry``
419  The entry point is 0 as the entry points for individual kernels must be
420  selected in order to invoke them through AQL packets.

486Note Records
487------------
488
489As required by ``ELFCLASS64``, minimal zero byte padding must be generated after
490the ``name`` field to ensure the ``desc`` field is 4 byte aligned. In addition,
491minimal zero byte padding must be generated to ensure the ``desc`` field size is
492a multiple of 4 bytes. The ``sh_addralign`` field of the ``.note`` section must
493be at least 4 to indicate at least 8 byte alignment.
494
495The AMDGPU backend code object uses the following ELF note records in the
496``.note`` section. The *Description* column specifies the layout of the note
497record’s ``desc`` field. All fields are consecutive bytes. Note records with
498variable size strings have a corresponding ``*_size`` field that specifies the
499number of bytes, including the terminating null character, in the string. The
500string(s) come immediately after the preceding fields.

530
531  This note record is required for code objects containing machine code for
532  processors matching the ``amdgcn`` architecture in table
533  :ref:`amdgpu-processors`.

545      :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`).
546
547    *vendor*
548      The vendor from table :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples-table`.
549
550      For the AMDGPU backend this is always ``amd``.
551

557      the environment has no affect on the execution of the code object.
558
559      For the AMDGPU backend this is currently always blank.
560    *processor*
561      The processor from table :ref:`amdgpu-processors-table`.

564
565    ``amdgcn-amd-amdhsa--gfx901``
566
567``NT_AMD_AMDGPU_METADATA``
568  Specifies extensible metadata associated with the code object. See
569  :ref:`amdgpu-code-object-metadata` for the syntax of the code object metadata
570  string.
571
572  This note record is required and must contain the minimum information
573  necessary to support the ROCM kernel queries. For example, the segment sizes
574  needed in a dispatch packet. In addition, a high level language runtime may
575  require other information to be included. For example, the AMD OpenCL runtime
576  records kernel argument information.

1057Relocation Records
1058------------------
1059
1060AMDGPU backend generates ``Elf64_Rela`` relocation records. Supported
1061relocatable fields are:
1062
1063``word32``
1064  This specifies a 32-bit field occupying 4 bytes with arbitrary byte
1065  alignment. These values use the same byte order as other word values in the
1066  AMD GPU architecture.
1067
1068``word64``
1069  This specifies a 64-bit field occupying 8 bytes with arbitrary byte
1070  alignment. These values use the same byte order as other word values in the
1071  AMD GPU architecture.
1072
1073Following notations are used for specifying relocation calculations:
1074
1075**A**
1076  Represents the addend used to compute the value of the relocatable field.
1077
1078**G**
1079  Represents the offset into the global offset table at which the relocation
1080  entry’s symbol will reside during execution.
1081
1082**GOT**
1083  Represents the address of the global offset table.
1084
1085**P**
1086  Represents the place (section offset for ``et_rel`` or address for ``et_dyn``)
1087  of the storage unit being relocated (computed using ``r_offset``).
1088
1089**S**
1090  Represents the value of the symbol whose index resides in the relocation
1091  entry.

1165   (akin to XDREF) to select the current lane usage in a location
1166   expression. This would also allow scalar register spilling to vector register
1167   lanes to be expressed (currently no debug information is being generated for
1168   spilling). If choose a wide single register approach then use LANE in

1188
1189This section provides code conventions used when the target triple OS is
1190``amdhsa`` (see :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`).
1191
1192Kernel Dispatch
1193~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1194
1195The HSA architected queuing language (AQL) defines a user space memory interface
1196that can be used to control the dispatch of kernels, in an agent independent
1197way. An agent can have zero or more AQL queues created for it using the ROCm
1198runtime, in which AQL packets (all of which are 64 bytes) can be placed. See the
1199*HSA Platform System Architecture Specification* [HSA]_ for the AQL queue
1200mechanics and packet layouts.
1201
1202The packet processor of a kernel agent is responsible for detecting and
1203dispatching HSA kernels from the AQL queues associated with it. For AMD GPUs the
1204packet processor is implemented by the hardware command processor (CP),
1205asynchronous dispatch controller (ADC) and shader processor input controller
1206(SPI).
1207
1208The ROCm runtime can be used to allocate an AQL queue object. It uses the kernel
1209mode driver to initialize and register the AQL queue with CP.
1210
1211To dispatch a kernel the following actions are performed. This can occur in the
1212CPU host program, or from an HSA kernel executing on a GPU.
1213
12141. A pointer to an AQL queue for the kernel agent on which the kernel is to be
1215   executed is obtained.
12162. A pointer to the kernel descriptor (see
1217   :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`) of the kernel to execute is
1218   obtained. It must be for a kernel that is contained in a code object that that
1219   was loaded by the ROCm runtime on the kernel agent with which the AQL queue is
1220   associated.
12213. Space is allocated for the kernel arguments using the ROCm runtime allocator
1222   for a memory region with the kernarg property for the kernel agent that will
1223   execute the kernel. It must be at least 16 byte aligned.
12244. Kernel argument values are assigned to the kernel argument memory
1225   allocation. The layout is defined in the *HSA Programmer’s Language Reference*
1226   [HSA]_. For AMDGPU the kernel execution directly accesses the kernel argument
1227   memory in the same way constant memory is accessed. (Note that the HSA
1228   specification allows an implementation to copy the kernel argument contents to
1229   another location that is accessed by the kernel.)
12305. An AQL kernel dispatch packet is created on the AQL queue. The ROCm runtime
1231   api uses 64 bit atomic operations to reserve space in the AQL queue for the
1232   packet. The packet must be set up, and the final write must use an atomic
1233   store release to set the packet kind to ensure the packet contents are
1234   visible to the kernel agent. AQL defines a doorbell signal mechanism to
1235   notify the kernel agent that the AQL queue has been updated. These rules, and
1236   the layout of the AQL queue and kernel dispatch packet is defined in the *HSA
1237   System Architecture Specification* [HSA]_.
12386. A kernel dispatch packet includes information about the actual dispatch,
1239   such as grid and work-group size, together with information from the code
1240   object about the kernel, such as segment sizes. The ROCm runtime queries on
1241   the kernel symbol can be used to obtain the code object values which are
1242   recorded in the :ref:`amdgpu-code-object-metadata`.
12437. CP executes micro-code and is responsible for detecting and setting up the
1244   GPU to execute the wavefronts of a kernel dispatch.
12458. CP ensures that when the a wavefront starts executing the kernel machine
1246   code, the scalar general purpose registers (SGPR) and vector general purpose
1247   registers (VGPR) are set up as required by the machine code. The required
1248   setup is defined in the :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`. The initial
1249   register state is defined in
1250   :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`.
12519. The prolog of the kernel machine code (see
1252   :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog`) sets up the machine state as necessary
1253   before continuing executing the machine code that corresponds to the kernel.
125410. When the kernel dispatch has completed execution, CP signals the completion
1255    signal specified in the kernel dispatch packet if not 0.

1281The global and constant memory spaces both use global virtual addresses, which
1282are the same virtual address space used by the CPU. However, some virtual
1283addresses may only be accessible to the CPU, some only accessible by the GPU,
1284and some by both.
1285
1286Using the constant memory space indicates that the data will not change during
1287the execution of the kernel. This allows scalar read instructions to be
1288used. The vector and scalar L1 caches are invalidated of volatile data before
1289each kernel dispatch execution to allow constant memory to change values between
1290kernel dispatches.
1291
1292The local memory space uses the hardware Local Data Store (LDS) which is
1293automatically allocated when the hardware creates work-groups of wavefronts, and
1294freed when all the wavefronts of a work-group have terminated. The data store
1295(DS) instructions can be used to access it.
1296
1297The private memory space uses the hardware scratch memory support. If the kernel
1298uses scratch, then the hardware allocates memory that is accessed using
1299wavefront lane dword (4 byte) interleaving. The mapping used from private
1300address to physical address is:
1301
1302  ``wavefront-scratch-base +
1303  (private-address * wavefront-size * 4) +
1304  (wavefront-lane-id * 4)``
1305
1306There are different ways that the wavefront scratch base address is determined
1307by a wavefront (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`). This
1308memory can be accessed in an interleaved manner using buffer instruction with
1309the scratch buffer descriptor and per wave scratch offset, by the scratch
1310instructions, or by flat instructions. If each lane of a wavefront accesses the
1311same private address, the interleaving results in adjacent dwords being accessed
1312and hence requires fewer cache lines to be fetched. Multi-dword access is not
1313supported except by flat and scratch instructions in GFX9.
1314
1315The generic address space uses the hardware flat address support available in
1316GFX7-GFX9. This uses two fixed ranges of virtual addresses (the private and
1317local appertures), that are outside the range of addressible global memory, to
1318map from a flat address to a private or local address.
1319
1320FLAT instructions can take a flat address and access global, private (scratch)
1321and group (LDS) memory depending in if the address is within one of the
1322apperture ranges. Flat access to scratch requires hardware aperture setup and
1323setup in the kernel prologue (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-flat-scratch`). Flat
1324access to LDS requires hardware aperture setup and M0 (GFX7-GFX8) register setup
1325(see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-m0`).
1326
1327To convert between a segment address and a flat address the base address of the
1328appertures address can be used. For GFX7-GFX8 these are available in the
1329:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-hsa-aql-queue` the address of which can be obtained with
1330Queue Ptr SGPR (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`). For
1331GFX9 the appature base addresses are directly available as inline constant
1332registers ``SRC_SHARED_BASE/LIMIT`` and ``SRC_PRIVATE_BASE/LIMIT``. In 64 bit
1333address mode the apperture sizes are 2^32 bytes and the base is aligned to 2^32
1334which makes it easier to convert from flat to segment or segment to flat.

1336HSA Image and Samplers
1337~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1338
1339Image and sample handles created by the ROCm runtime are 64 bit addresses of a
1340hardware 32 byte V# and 48 byte S# object respectively. In order to support the
1341HSA ``query_sampler`` operations two extra dwords are used to store the HSA BRIG
1342enumeration values for the queries that are not trivially deducible from the S#
1343representation.
1344
1345HSA Signals
1346~~~~~~~~~~~
1347
1348Signal handles created by the ROCm runtime are 64 bit addresses of a structure
1349allocated in memory accessible from both the CPU and GPU. The structure is
1350defined by the ROCm runtime and subject to change between releases (see
1351[AMD-ROCm-github]_).
1352
1353.. _amdgpu-amdhsa-hsa-aql-queue:
1354
1355HSA AQL Queue
1356~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1357
1358The AQL queue structure is defined by the ROCm runtime and subject to change
1359between releases (see [AMD-ROCm-github]_). For some processors it contains
1360fields needed to implement certain language features such as the flat address
1361aperture bases. It also contains fields used by CP such as managing the
1362allocation of scratch memory.
1363
1364.. _amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor:
1365
1366Kernel Descriptor
1367~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1368
1369A kernel descriptor consists of the information needed by CP to initiate the
1370execution of a kernel, including the entry point address of the machine code
1371that implements the kernel.

1835Initial Kernel Execution State
1836~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1837
1838This section defines the register state that will be set up by the packet
1839processor prior to the start of execution of every wavefront. This is limited by
1840the constraints of the hardware controllers of CP/ADC/SPI.
1841
1842The order of the SGPR registers is defined, but the compiler can specify which
1843ones are actually setup in the kernel descriptor using the ``enable_sgpr_*`` bit
1844fields (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`). The register numbers used
1845for enabled registers are dense starting at SGPR0: the first enabled register is
1846SGPR0, the next enabled register is SGPR1 etc.; disabled registers do not have
1847an SGPR number.
1848
1849The initial SGPRs comprise up to 16 User SRGPs that are set by CP and apply to
1850all waves of the grid. It is possible to specify more than 16 User SGPRs using
1851the ``enable_sgpr_*`` bit fields, in which case only the first 16 are actually
1852initialized. These are then immediately followed by the System SGPRs that are
1853set up by ADC/SPI and can have different values for each wave of the grid
1854dispatch.
1855
1856SGPR register initial state is defined in
1857:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-sgpr-register-set-up-order-table`.

1867     First      Private Segment Buffer     4      V# that can be used, together
1868                (enable_sgpr_private              with Scratch Wave Offset as an
1869                _segment_buffer)                  offset, to access the private
1870                                                  memory space using a segment
1871                                                  address.
1872
1873                                                  CP uses the value provided by
1874                                                  the runtime.
1875     then       Dispatch Ptr               2      64 bit address of AQL dispatch
1876                (enable_sgpr_dispatch_ptr)        packet for kernel dispatch
1877                                                  actually executing.
1878     then       Queue Ptr                  2      64 bit address of amd_queue_t
1879                (enable_sgpr_queue_ptr)           object for AQL queue on which
1880                                                  the dispatch packet was
1881                                                  queued.
1882     then       Kernarg Segment Ptr        2      64 bit address of Kernarg
1883                (enable_sgpr_kernarg              segment. This is directly
1884                _segment_ptr)                     copied from the

1888                                                  Having CP load it once avoids
1889                                                  loading it at the beginning of
1890                                                  every wavefront.
1891     then       Dispatch Id                2      64 bit Dispatch ID of the
1892                (enable_sgpr_dispatch_id)         dispatch packet being
1893                                                  executed.
1894     then       Flat Scratch Init          2      This is 2 SGPRs:
1895                (enable_sgpr_flat_scratch
1896                _init)                            GFX6

1898                                                  GFX7-GFX8
1899                                                    The first SGPR is a 32 bit
1900                                                    byte offset from

1903                                                    for scratch for the queue
1904                                                    executing the kernel
1905                                                    dispatch. CP obtains this
1906                                                    from the runtime.
1907
1908                                                    This is the same offset used
1909                                                    in computing the Scratch
1910                                                    Segment Buffer base
1911                                                    address. The value of
1912                                                    Scratch Wave Offset must be
1913                                                    added by the kernel machine
1914                                                    code and moved to SGPRn-4
1915                                                    for use as the FLAT SCRATCH
1916                                                    BASE in flat memory
1917                                                    instructions.
1918
1919                                                    The second SGPR is 32 bit
1920                                                    byte size of a single

1922                                                    usage. This is directly
1923                                                    loaded from the kernel
1924                                                    dispatch packet Private
1925                                                    Segment Byte Size and
1926                                                    rounded up to a multiple of
1927                                                    DWORD.
1928
1929                                                    The kernel code must move to
1930                                                    SGPRn-3 for use as the FLAT
1931                                                    SCRATCH SIZE in flat memory
1932                                                    instructions. Having CP load
1933                                                    it once avoids loading it at
1934                                                    the beginning of every
1935                                                    wavefront.
1936                                                  GFX9
1937                                                    This is the 64 bit base
1938                                                    address of the per SPI
1939                                                    scratch backing memory
1940                                                    managed by SPI for the queue
1941                                                    executing the kernel
1942                                                    dispatch. CP obtains this
1943                                                    from the runtime (and
1944                                                    divides it if there are
1945                                                    multiple Shader Arrays each
1946                                                    with its own SPI). The value
1947                                                    of Scratch Wave Offset must
1948                                                    be added by the kernel
1949                                                    machine code and moved to
1950                                                    SGPRn-4 and SGPRn-3 for use
1951                                                    as the FLAT SCRATCH BASE in
1952                                                    flat memory instructions.
1953     then       Private Segment Size       1      The 32 bit byte size of a
1954                (enable_sgpr_private              single work-item’s scratch
1955                _segment_size)                    memory allocation. This is the
1956                                                  value from the kernel dispatch
1957                                                  packet Private Segment Byte
1958                                                  Size rounded up by CP to a
1959                                                  multiple of DWORD.
1960
1961                                                  Having CP load it once avoids
1962                                                  loading it at the beginning of
1963                                                  every wavefront.
1964
1965                                                  This is not used for
1966                                                  GFX7-GFX8 since it is the same
1967                                                  value as the second SGPR of
1968                                                  Flat Scratch Init. However, it
1969                                                  may be needed for GFX9 which
1970                                                  changes the meaning of the
1971                                                  Flat Scratch Init value.

2027The order of the VGPR registers is defined, but the compiler can specify which
2028ones are actually setup in the kernel descriptor using the ``enable_vgpr*`` bit
2029fields (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`). The register numbers used
2030for enabled registers are dense starting at VGPR0: the first enabled register is
2031VGPR0, the next enabled register is VGPR1 etc.; disabled registers do not have a

2056The setting of registers is is done by GPU CP/ADC/SPI hardware as follows:
2057
20581. SGPRs before the Work-Group Ids are set by CP using the 16 User Data
2059   registers.
20602. Work-group Id registers X, Y, Z are set by ADC which supports any
2061   combination including none.
20623. Scratch Wave Offset is set by SPI in a per wave basis which is why its value
2063   cannot included with the flat scratch init value which is per queue.
20644. The VGPRs are set by SPI which only supports specifying either (X), (X, Y)
2065   or (X, Y, Z).
2066
2067Flat Scratch register pair are adjacent SGRRs so they can be moved as a 64 bit
2068value to the hardware required SGPRn-3 and SGPRn-4 respectively.
2069
2070The global segment can be accessed either using buffer instructions (GFX6 which
2071has V# 64 bit address support), flat instructions (GFX7-9), or global
2072instructions (GFX9).
2073
2074If buffer operations are used then the compiler can generate a V# with the
2075following properties:
2076
2077* base address of 0
2078* no swizzle
2079* ATC: 1 if IOMMU present (such as APU)
2080* ptr64: 1
2081* MTYPE set to support memory coherence that matches the runtime (such as CC for
2082  APU and NC for dGPU).

2095  The M0 register must be initialized with a value at least the total LDS size
2096  if the kernel may access LDS via DS or flat operations. Total LDS size is
2097  available in dispatch packet. For M0, it is also possible to use maximum
2098  possible value of LDS for given target (0x7FFF for GFX6 and 0xFFFF for
2099  GFX7-GFX8).

2108
2109If the kernel may use flat operations to access scratch memory, the prolog code
2110must set up FLAT_SCRATCH register pair (FLAT_SCRATCH_LO/FLAT_SCRATCH_HI which
2111are in SGPRn-4/SGPRn-3). Initialization uses Flat Scratch Init and Scratch Wave
2112Offset SGPR registers (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`):

2115  Flat scratch is not supported.
2116
2117GFX7-8
2118  1. The low word of Flat Scratch Init is 32 bit byte offset from
2119     ``SH_HIDDEN_PRIVATE_BASE_VIMID`` to the base of scratch backing memory
2120     being managed by SPI for the queue executing the kernel dispatch. This is
2121     the same value used in the Scratch Segment Buffer V# base address. The
2122     prolog must add the value of Scratch Wave Offset to get the wave's byte
2123     scratch backing memory offset from ``SH_HIDDEN_PRIVATE_BASE_VIMID``. Since
2124     FLAT_SCRATCH_LO is in units of 256 bytes, the offset must be right shifted
2125     by 8 before moving into FLAT_SCRATCH_LO.
2126  2. The second word of Flat Scratch Init is 32 bit byte size of a single
2127     work-items scratch memory usage. This is directly loaded from the kernel
2128     dispatch packet Private Segment Byte Size and rounded up to a multiple of
2129     DWORD. Having CP load it once avoids loading it at the beginning of every
2130     wavefront. The prolog must move it to FLAT_SCRATCH_LO for use as FLAT SCRATCH
2131     SIZE.
2132GFX9
2133  The Flat Scratch Init is the 64 bit address of the base of scratch backing
2134  memory being managed by SPI for the queue executing the kernel dispatch. The
2135  prolog must add the value of Scratch Wave Offset and moved to the FLAT_SCRATCH
2136  pair for use as the flat scratch base in flat memory instructions.

2139
2140Memory Model
2141~~~~~~~~~~~~
2142
2143This section describes the mapping of LLVM memory model onto AMDGPU machine code
2144(see :ref:`memmodel`). *The implementation is WIP.*
2145
2146.. TODO
2147   Update when implementation complete.
2148
2149   Support more relaxed OpenCL memory model to be controlled by environment
2150   component of target triple.
2151
2152The AMDGPU backend supports the memory synchronization scopes specified in
2153:ref:`amdgpu-memory-scopes`.
2154
2155The code sequences used to implement the memory model are defined in table
2156:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model-code-sequences-gfx6-gfx9-table`.
2157
2158The sequences specify the order of instructions that a single thread must
2159execute. The ``s_waitcnt`` and ``buffer_wbinvl1_vol`` are defined with respect
2160to other memory instructions executed by the same thread. This allows them to be
2161moved earlier or later which can allow them to be combined with other instances
2162of the same instruction, or hoisted/sunk out of loops to improve
2163performance. Only the instructions related to the memory model are given;
2164additional ``s_waitcnt`` instructions are required to ensure registers are
2165defined before being used. These may be able to be combined with the memory
2166model ``s_waitcnt`` instructions as described above.
2167
2168The AMDGPU memory model supports both the HSA [HSA]_ memory model, and the
2169OpenCL [OpenCL]_ memory model. The HSA memory model uses a single happens-before
2170relation for all address spaces (see :ref:`amdgpu-address-spaces`). The OpenCL
2171memory model which has separate happens-before relations for the global and
2172local address spaces, and only a fence specifying both global and local address
2173space joins the relationships. Since the LLVM ``memfence`` instruction does not
2174allow an address space to be specified the OpenCL fence has to convervatively
2175assume both local and global address space was specified. However, optimizations
2176can often be done to eliminate the additional ``s_waitcnt``instructions when
2177there are no intervening corresponding ``ds/flat_load/store/atomic`` memory
2178instructions. The code sequences in the table indicate what can be omitted for
2179the OpenCL memory. The target triple environment is used to determine if the
2180source language is OpenCL (see :ref:`amdgpu-opencl`).
2181
2182``ds/flat_load/store/atomic`` instructions to local memory are termed LDS
2183operations.
2184
2185``buffer/global/flat_load/store/atomic`` instructions to global memory are
2186termed vector memory operations.
2187
2188For GFX6-GFX9:
2189
2190* Each agent has multiple compute units (CU).
2191* Each CU has multiple SIMDs that execute wavefronts.
2192* The wavefronts for a single work-group are executed in the same CU but may be
2193  executed by different SIMDs.
2194* Each CU has a single LDS memory shared by the wavefronts of the work-groups
2195  executing on it.
2196* All LDS operations of a CU are performed as wavefront wide operations in a
2197  global order and involve no caching. Completion is reported to a wavefront in
2198  execution order.
2199* The LDS memory has multiple request queues shared by the SIMDs of a
2200  CU. Therefore, the LDS operations performed by different waves of a work-group
2201  can be reordered relative to each other, which can result in reordering the
2202  visibility of vector memory operations with respect to LDS operations of other
2203  wavefronts in the same work-group. A ``s_waitcnt lgkmcnt(0)`` is required to
2204  ensure synchronization between LDS operations and vector memory operations
2205  between waves of a work-group, but not between operations performed by the
2206  same wavefront.
2207* The vector memory operations are performed as wavefront wide operations and
2208  completion is reported to a wavefront in execution order. The exception is
2209  that for GFX7-9 ``flat_load/store/atomic`` instructions can report out of
2210  vector memory order if they access LDS memory, and out of LDS operation order
2211  if they access global memory.
2212* The vector memory operations access a vector L1 cache shared by all wavefronts
2213  on a CU. Therefore, no special action is required for coherence between
2214  wavefronts in the same work-group. A ``buffer_wbinvl1_vol`` is required for
2215  coherence between waves executing in different work-groups as they may be
2216  executing on different CUs.
2217* The scalar memory operations access a scalar L1 cache shared by all wavefronts
2218  on a group of CUs. The scalar and vector L1 caches are not coherent. However,
2219  scalar operations are used in a restricted way so do not impact the memory
2220  model. See :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-spaces`.
2221* The vector and scalar memory operations use an L2 cache shared by all CUs on
2222  the same agent.
2223* The L2 cache has independent channels to service disjoint ranges of virtual
2224  addresses.
2225* Each CU has a separate request queue per channel. Therefore, the vector and
2226  scalar memory operations performed by waves executing in different work-groups
2227  (which may be executing on different CUs) of an agent can be reordered
2228  relative to each other. A ``s_waitcnt vmcnt(0)`` is required to ensure
2229  synchronization between vector memory operations of different CUs. It ensures a
2230  previous vector memory operation has completed before executing a subsequent
2231  vector memory or LDS operation and so can be used to meet the requirements of
2232  acquire and release.
2233* The L2 cache can be kept coherent with other agents on some targets, or ranges
2234  of virtual addresses can be set up to bypass it to ensure system coherence.
2235
2236Private address space uses ``buffer_load/store`` using the scratch V# (GFX6-8),
2237or ``scratch_load/store`` (GFX9). Since only a single thread is accessing the
2238memory, atomic memory orderings are not meaningful and all accesses are treated
2239as non-atomic.
2240
2241Constant address space uses ``buffer/global_load`` instructions (or equivalent
2242scalar memory instructions). Since the constant address space contents do not
2243change during the execution of a kernel dispatch it is not legal to perform
2244stores, and atomic memory orderings are not meaningful and all access are
2245treated as non-atomic.
2246
2247A memory synchronization scope wider than work-group is not meaningful for the
2248group (LDS) address space and is treated as work-group.
2249
2250The memory model does not support the region address space which is treated as
2251non-atomic.
2252
2253Acquire memory ordering is not meaningful on store atomic instructions and is
2254treated as non-atomic.
2255
2256Release memory ordering is not meaningful on load atomic instructions and is
2257treated a non-atomic.
2258
2259Acquire-release memory ordering is not meaningful on load or store atomic
2260instructions and is treated as acquire and release respectively.
2261
2262AMDGPU backend only uses scalar memory operations to access memory that is
2263proven to not change during the execution of the kernel dispatch. This includes
2264constant address space and global address space for program scope const
2265variables. Therefore the kernel machine code does not have to maintain the
2266scalar L1 cache to ensure it is coherent with the vector L1 cache. The scalar
2267and vector L1 caches are invalidated between kernel dispatches by CP since
2268constant address space data may change between kernel dispatch executions. See
2269:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-spaces`.
2270
2271The one execption is if scalar writes are used to spill SGPR registers. In this
2272case the AMDGPU backend ensures the memory location used to spill is never
2273accessed by vector memory operations at the same time. If scalar writes are used
2274then a ``s_dcache_wb`` is inserted before the ``s_endpgm`` and before a function
2275return since the locations may be used for vector memory instructions by a
2276future wave that uses the same scratch area, or a function call that creates a
2277frame at the same address, respectively. There is no need for a ``s_dcache_inv``
2278as all scalar writes are write-before-read in the same thread.
2279
2280Scratch backing memory (which is used for the private address space) is accessed
2281with MTYPE NC_NV (non-coherenent non-volatile). Since the private address space
2282is only accessed by a single thread, and is always write-before-read,
2283there is never a need to invalidate these entries from the L1 cache. Hence all
2284cache invalidates are done as ``*_vol`` to only invalidate the volatile cache
2285lines.
2286
2287On dGPU the kernarg backing memory is accessed as UC (uncached) to avoid needing
2288to invalidate the L2 cache. This also causes it to be treated as non-volatile
2289and so is not invalidated by ``*_vol``. On APU it is accessed as CC (cache
2290coherent) and so the L2 cache will coherent with the CPU and other agents.

3421Assembler
3422---------
3423
3424AMDGPU backend has LLVM-MC based assembler which is currently in development.
3425It supports AMDGCN GFX6-GFX8.
3426
3427This section describes general syntax for instructions and operands. For more
3428information about instructions, their semantics and supported combinations of
3429operands, refer to one of instruction set architecture manuals
3430[AMD-Souther-Islands]_ [AMD-Sea-Islands]_ [AMD-Volcanic-Islands]_.
3431
3432An instruction has the following syntax (register operands are normally
3433comma-separated while extra operands are space-separated):
3434
3435*<opcode> <register_operand0>, ... <extra_operand0> ...*
3436
3437Operands
3438~~~~~~~~
3439
3440The following syntax for register operands is supported:
3441
3442* SGPR registers: s0, ... or s[0], ...

3598++++
3599
3600For vector ALU instruction opcodes (VOP1, VOP2, VOP3, VOPC, VOP_DPP, VOP_SDWA),
3601the assembler will automatically use optimal encoding based on its operands.
3602To force specific encoding, one can add a suffix to the opcode of the instruction:
3603
3604* _e32 for 32-bit VOP1/VOP2/VOPC
3605* _e64 for 64-bit VOP3

3651HSA Code Object Directives
3652~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3653
3654AMDGPU ABI defines auxiliary data in output code object. In assembly source,
3655one can specify them with assembler directives.
3656
3657.hsa_code_object_version major, minor
3658+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
3659
3660*major* and *minor* are integers that specify the version of the HSA code
3661object that will be generated by the assembler.
3662
3663.hsa_code_object_isa [major, minor, stepping, vendor, arch]
3664+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
3665
3666
3667*major*, *minor*, and *stepping* are all integers that describe the instruction
3668set architecture (ISA) version of the assembly program.
3669
3670*vendor* and *arch* are quoted strings.  *vendor* should always be equal to
3671"AMD" and *arch* should always be equal to "AMDGPU".
3672
3673By default, the assembler will derive the ISA version, *vendor*, and *arch*
3674from the value of the -mcpu option that is passed to the assembler.
3675
3676.amdgpu_hsa_kernel (name)
3677+++++++++++++++++++++++++
3678
3679This directives specifies that the symbol with given name is a kernel entry point
3680(label) and the object should contain corresponding symbol of type STT_AMDGPU_HSA_KERNEL.
3681
3682.amd_kernel_code_t
3683++++++++++++++++++
3684
3685This directive marks the beginning of a list of key / value pairs that are used
3686to specify the amd_kernel_code_t object that will be emitted by the assembler.
3687The list must be terminated by the *.end_amd_kernel_code_t* directive.  For
3688any amd_kernel_code_t values that are unspecified a default value will be
3689used.  The default value for all keys is 0, with the following exceptions:
3690
3691- *kernel_code_version_major* defaults to 1.
3692- *machine_kind* defaults to 1.
3693- *machine_version_major*, *machine_version_minor*, and
3694  *machine_version_stepping* are derived from the value of the -mcpu option
3695  that is passed to the assembler.
3696- *kernel_code_entry_byte_offset* defaults to 256.
3697- *wavefront_size* defaults to 6.
3698- *kernarg_segment_alignment*, *group_segment_alignment*, and
3699  *private_segment_alignment* default to 4.  Note that alignments are specified
3700  as a power of two, so a value of **n** means an alignment of 2^ **n**.
3701
3702The *.amd_kernel_code_t* directive must be placed immediately after the
3703function label and before any instructions.
3704
3705For a full list of amd_kernel_code_t keys, refer to AMDGPU ABI document,
3706comments in lib/Target/AMDGPU/AmdKernelCodeT.h and test/CodeGen/AMDGPU/hsa.s.
