260Memory Scopes
261-------------
262
263This section provides LLVM memory synchronization scopes supported by the AMDGPU
264backend memory model when the target triple OS is ``amdhsa`` (see
265:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model` and :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`).
266
267The memory model supported is based on the HSA memory model [HSA]_ which is
268based in turn on HRF-indirect with scope inclusion [HRF]_. The happens-before
269relation is transitive over the synchonizes-with relation independent of scope,
270and synchonizes-with allows the memory scope instances to be inclusive (see
271table :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-llvm-sync-scopes-amdhsa-table`).
272
273This is different to the OpenCL [OpenCL]_ memory model which does not have scope
274inclusion and requires the memory scopes to exactly match. However, this
275is conservatively correct for OpenCL.

400``e_ident[EI_DATA]``
401  All AMDGPU targets use ELFDATA2LSB for little-endian byte ordering.
402
403``e_ident[EI_OSABI]``
404  One of the following AMD GPU architecture specific OS ABIs:
405
406  * ``ELFOSABI_AMDGPU_HSA`` is used to specify that the code object conforms to
407    the AMD HSA runtime ABI [HSA]_.
408
409  * ``ELFOSABI_AMDGPU_PAL`` is used to specify that the code object conforms to
410    the AMD PAL runtime ABI.
411
412  * ``ELFOSABI_AMDGPU_MESA3D`` is used to specify that the code object conforms
413    to the AMD MESA runtime ABI.
414
415``e_ident[EI_ABIVERSION]``
416  The ABI version of the AMD GPU architecture specific OS ABI to which the code
417  object conforms:
418
419  * ``ELFABIVERSION_AMDGPU_HSA`` is used to specify the version of AMD HSA
420    runtime ABI.
421
422  * ``ELFABIVERSION_AMDGPU_PAL`` is used to specify the version of AMD PAL

430
431
432  ``ET_REL``
433    The type produced by the AMD GPU backend compiler as it is relocatable code
434    object.
435
436  ``ET_DYN``
437    The type produced by the linker as it is a shared code object.
438
439  The AMD HSA runtime loader requires a ``ET_DYN`` code object.
440
441``e_machine``
442  The value ``EM_AMDGPU`` is used for the machine for all members of the AMD GPU
443  architecture family. The specific member is specified in the
444  ``NT_AMD_AMDGPU_ISA`` entry in the ``.note`` section (see
445  :ref:`amdgpu-note-records`).
446
447``e_entry``
448  The entry point is 0 as the entry points for individual kernels must be
449  selected in order to invoke them through AQL packets.
450
451``e_flags``
452  The value is 0 as no flags are used.

515Note Records
516------------
517
518As required by ``ELFCLASS64``, minimal zero byte padding must be generated after
519the ``name`` field to ensure the ``desc`` field is 4 byte aligned. In addition,
520minimal zero byte padding must be generated to ensure the ``desc`` field size is
521a multiple of 4 bytes. The ``sh_addralign`` field of the ``.note`` section must
522be at least 4 to indicate at least 8 byte alignment.
523
524The AMDGPU backend code object uses the following ELF note records in the
525``.note`` section. The *Description* column specifies the layout of the note
526record’s ``desc`` field. All fields are consecutive bytes. Note records with
527variable size strings have a corresponding ``*_size`` field that specifies the
528number of bytes, including the terminating null character, in the string. The
529string(s) come immediately after the preceding fields.

626  If the symbol is defined in the compilation unit then it is allocated in the
627  appropriate section according to if it has initialized data or is readonly.
628
629  If the symbol is external then its section is ``STN_UNDEF`` and the loader
630  will resolve relocations using the definition provided by another code object
631  or explicitly defined by the runtime.
632
633  All global symbols, whether defined in the compilation unit or external, are
634  accessed by the machine code indirectly through a GOT table entry. This
635  allows them to be preemptable. The GOT table is only supported when the target
636  triple OS is ``amdhsa`` (see :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`).

642Kernel descriptor
643  Every HSA kernel has an associated kernel descriptor. It is the address of the
644  kernel descriptor that is used in the AQL dispatch packet used to invoke the
645  kernel, not the kernel entry point. The layout of the HSA kernel descriptor is
646  defined in :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`.

653Relocation Records
654------------------
655
656AMDGPU backend generates ``Elf64_Rela`` relocation records. Supported
657relocatable fields are:
658
659``word32``
660  This specifies a 32-bit field occupying 4 bytes with arbitrary byte
661  alignment. These values use the same byte order as other word values in the
662  AMD GPU architecture.
663
664``word64``
665  This specifies a 64-bit field occupying 8 bytes with arbitrary byte
666  alignment. These values use the same byte order as other word values in the
667  AMD GPU architecture.
668
669Following notations are used for specifying relocation calculations:
670
671**A**
672  Represents the addend used to compute the value of the relocatable field.
673
674**G**
675  Represents the offset into the global offset table at which the relocation
676  entry’s symbol will reside during execution.
677
678**GOT**
679  Represents the address of the global offset table.
680
681**P**
682  Represents the place (section offset for ``et_rel`` or address for ``et_dyn``)
683  of the storage unit being relocated (computed using ``r_offset``).
684
685**S**
686  Represents the value of the symbol whose index resides in the relocation
687  entry.
688
689The following relocation types are supported:

720Address Space Mapping
721~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
722
723The following address space mapping is used:
724
725  .. table:: AMDGPU DWARF Address Space Mapping

738
739See :ref:`amdgpu-address-spaces` for information on the memory space terminology
740used in the table.
741
742An ``address_class`` attribute is generated on pointer type DIEs to specify the
743DWARF address space of the value of the pointer when it is in the *private* or
744*local* address space. Otherwise the attribute is omitted.
745
746An ``XDEREF`` operation is generated in location list expressions for variables
747that are allocated in the *private* and *local* address space. Otherwise no
748``XDREF`` is omitted.

755.. TODO
756   Define DWARF register enumeration.
757
758   If want to present a wavefront state then should expose vector registers as
759   64 wide (rather than per work-item view that LLVM uses). Either as separate
760   registers, or a 64x4 byte single register. In either case use a new LANE op
761   (akin to XDREF) to select the current lane usage in a location
762   expression. This would also allow scalar register spilling to vector register
763   lanes to be expressed (currently no debug information is being generated for
764   spilling). If choose a wide single register approach then use LANE in
765   conjunction with PIECE operation to select the dword part of the register for
766   the current lane. If the separate register approach then use LANE to select
767   the register.

779Code Conventions
780================
781
782This section provides code conventions used for each supported target triple OS
783(see :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`).
784
785AMDHSA
786------
787
788This section provides code conventions used when the target triple OS is
789``amdhsa`` (see :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`).
790
791.. _amdgpu-amdhsa-hsa-code-object-metadata:
792
793Code Object Metadata
794~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
795
796The code object metadata specifies extensible metadata associated with the code
797objects executed on HSA [HSA]_ compatible runtimes such as AMD's ROCm
798[AMD-ROCm]_. It is specified by the ``NT_AMD_AMDGPU_HSA_METADATA`` note record
799(see :ref:`amdgpu-note-records`) and is required when the target triple OS is
800``amdhsa`` (see :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`). It must contain the minimum
801information necessary to support the ROCM kernel queries. For example, the
802segment sizes needed in a dispatch packet. In addition, a high level language
803runtime may require other information to be included. For example, the AMD
804OpenCL runtime records kernel argument information.
805
806The metadata is specified as a YAML formatted string (see [YAML]_ and
807:doc:`YamlIO`).
808
809.. TODO
810   Is the string null terminated? It probably should not if YAML allows it to
811   contain null characters, otherwise it should be.
812
813The metadata is represented as a single YAML document comprised of the mapping
814defined in table :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-code-object-metadata-mapping-table` and
815referenced tables.
816
817For boolean values, the string values of ``false`` and ``true`` are used for
818false and true respectively.
819
820Additional information can be added to the mappings. To avoid conflicts, any
821non-AMD key names should be prefixed by "*vendor-name*.".

1237Kernel Dispatch
1238~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1239
1240The HSA architected queuing language (AQL) defines a user space memory interface
1241that can be used to control the dispatch of kernels, in an agent independent
1242way. An agent can have zero or more AQL queues created for it using the ROCm
1243runtime, in which AQL packets (all of which are 64 bytes) can be placed. See the
1244*HSA Platform System Architecture Specification* [HSA]_ for the AQL queue
1245mechanics and packet layouts.
1246
1247The packet processor of a kernel agent is responsible for detecting and
1248dispatching HSA kernels from the AQL queues associated with it. For AMD GPUs the
1249packet processor is implemented by the hardware command processor (CP),
1250asynchronous dispatch controller (ADC) and shader processor input controller
1251(SPI).
1252
1253The ROCm runtime can be used to allocate an AQL queue object. It uses the kernel
1254mode driver to initialize and register the AQL queue with CP.
1255
1256To dispatch a kernel the following actions are performed. This can occur in the
1257CPU host program, or from an HSA kernel executing on a GPU.
1258
12591. A pointer to an AQL queue for the kernel agent on which the kernel is to be
1260   executed is obtained.
12612. A pointer to the kernel descriptor (see
1262   :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`) of the kernel to execute is
1263   obtained. It must be for a kernel that is contained in a code object that that
1264   was loaded by the ROCm runtime on the kernel agent with which the AQL queue is
1265   associated.
12663. Space is allocated for the kernel arguments using the ROCm runtime allocator
1267   for a memory region with the kernarg property for the kernel agent that will
1268   execute the kernel. It must be at least 16 byte aligned.
12694. Kernel argument values are assigned to the kernel argument memory
1270   allocation. The layout is defined in the *HSA Programmer’s Language Reference*
1271   [HSA]_. For AMDGPU the kernel execution directly accesses the kernel argument
1272   memory in the same way constant memory is accessed. (Note that the HSA
1273   specification allows an implementation to copy the kernel argument contents to
1274   another location that is accessed by the kernel.)
12755. An AQL kernel dispatch packet is created on the AQL queue. The ROCm runtime
1276   api uses 64 bit atomic operations to reserve space in the AQL queue for the
1277   packet. The packet must be set up, and the final write must use an atomic
1278   store release to set the packet kind to ensure the packet contents are
1279   visible to the kernel agent. AQL defines a doorbell signal mechanism to
1280   notify the kernel agent that the AQL queue has been updated. These rules, and
1281   the layout of the AQL queue and kernel dispatch packet is defined in the *HSA
1282   System Architecture Specification* [HSA]_.
12836. A kernel dispatch packet includes information about the actual dispatch,
1284   such as grid and work-group size, together with information from the code
1285   object about the kernel, such as segment sizes. The ROCm runtime queries on
1286   the kernel symbol can be used to obtain the code object values which are
1287   recorded in the :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-hsa-code-object-metadata`.
12887. CP executes micro-code and is responsible for detecting and setting up the
1289   GPU to execute the wavefronts of a kernel dispatch.
12908. CP ensures that when the a wavefront starts executing the kernel machine
1291   code, the scalar general purpose registers (SGPR) and vector general purpose
1292   registers (VGPR) are set up as required by the machine code. The required
1293   setup is defined in the :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`. The initial
1294   register state is defined in
1295   :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`.
12969. The prolog of the kernel machine code (see
1297   :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog`) sets up the machine state as necessary

1325
1326The global and constant memory spaces both use global virtual addresses, which
1327are the same virtual address space used by the CPU. However, some virtual
1328addresses may only be accessible to the CPU, some only accessible by the GPU,
1329and some by both.
1330
1331Using the constant memory space indicates that the data will not change during
1332the execution of the kernel. This allows scalar read instructions to be
1333used. The vector and scalar L1 caches are invalidated of volatile data before
1334each kernel dispatch execution to allow constant memory to change values between
1335kernel dispatches.
1336
1337The local memory space uses the hardware Local Data Store (LDS) which is
1338automatically allocated when the hardware creates work-groups of wavefronts, and
1339freed when all the wavefronts of a work-group have terminated. The data store
1340(DS) instructions can be used to access it.
1341
1342The private memory space uses the hardware scratch memory support. If the kernel
1343uses scratch, then the hardware allocates memory that is accessed using
1344wavefront lane dword (4 byte) interleaving. The mapping used from private
1345address to physical address is:
1346
1347  ``wavefront-scratch-base +
1348  (private-address * wavefront-size * 4) +
1349  (wavefront-lane-id * 4)``
1350
1351There are different ways that the wavefront scratch base address is determined
1352by a wavefront (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`). This
1353memory can be accessed in an interleaved manner using buffer instruction with
1354the scratch buffer descriptor and per wave scratch offset, by the scratch
1355instructions, or by flat instructions. If each lane of a wavefront accesses the
1356same private address, the interleaving results in adjacent dwords being accessed
1357and hence requires fewer cache lines to be fetched. Multi-dword access is not
1358supported except by flat and scratch instructions in GFX9.
1359
1360The generic address space uses the hardware flat address support available in
1361GFX7-GFX9. This uses two fixed ranges of virtual addresses (the private and
1362local appertures), that are outside the range of addressible global memory, to
1363map from a flat address to a private or local address.
1364
1365FLAT instructions can take a flat address and access global, private (scratch)
1366and group (LDS) memory depending in if the address is within one of the
1367apperture ranges. Flat access to scratch requires hardware aperture setup and
1368setup in the kernel prologue (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-flat-scratch`). Flat
1369access to LDS requires hardware aperture setup and M0 (GFX7-GFX8) register setup
1370(see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-m0`).
1371
1372To convert between a segment address and a flat address the base address of the
1373appertures address can be used. For GFX7-GFX8 these are available in the
1374:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-hsa-aql-queue` the address of which can be obtained with
1375Queue Ptr SGPR (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`). For
1376GFX9 the appature base addresses are directly available as inline constant
1377registers ``SRC_SHARED_BASE/LIMIT`` and ``SRC_PRIVATE_BASE/LIMIT``. In 64 bit
1378address mode the apperture sizes are 2^32 bytes and the base is aligned to 2^32
1379which makes it easier to convert from flat to segment or segment to flat.
1380
1381Image and Samplers
1382~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1383
1384Image and sample handles created by the ROCm runtime are 64 bit addresses of a
1385hardware 32 byte V# and 48 byte S# object respectively. In order to support the
1386HSA ``query_sampler`` operations two extra dwords are used to store the HSA BRIG
1387enumeration values for the queries that are not trivially deducible from the S#
1388representation.
1389
1390HSA Signals
1391~~~~~~~~~~~
1392
1393HSA signal handles created by the ROCm runtime are 64 bit addresses of a
1394structure allocated in memory accessible from both the CPU and GPU. The
1395structure is defined by the ROCm runtime and subject to change between releases
1396(see [AMD-ROCm-github]_).
1397

1400HSA AQL Queue
1401~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1402
1403The HSA AQL queue structure is defined by the ROCm runtime and subject to change
1404between releases (see [AMD-ROCm-github]_). For some processors it contains
1405fields needed to implement certain language features such as the flat address
1406aperture bases. It also contains fields used by CP such as managing the
1407allocation of scratch memory.

1409.. _amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor:
1410
1411Kernel Descriptor
1412~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1413
1414A kernel descriptor consists of the information needed by CP to initiate the
1415execution of a kernel, including the entry point address of the machine code
1416that implements the kernel.

1880Initial Kernel Execution State
1881~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1882
1883This section defines the register state that will be set up by the packet
1884processor prior to the start of execution of every wavefront. This is limited by
1885the constraints of the hardware controllers of CP/ADC/SPI.
1886
1887The order of the SGPR registers is defined, but the compiler can specify which
1888ones are actually setup in the kernel descriptor using the ``enable_sgpr_*`` bit
1889fields (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`). The register numbers used
1890for enabled registers are dense starting at SGPR0: the first enabled register is
1891SGPR0, the next enabled register is SGPR1 etc.; disabled registers do not have
1892an SGPR number.
1893
1894The initial SGPRs comprise up to 16 User SRGPs that are set by CP and apply to
1895all waves of the grid. It is possible to specify more than 16 User SGPRs using
1896the ``enable_sgpr_*`` bit fields, in which case only the first 16 are actually
1897initialized. These are then immediately followed by the System SGPRs that are
1898set up by ADC/SPI and can have different values for each wave of the grid
1899dispatch.
1900
1901SGPR register initial state is defined in
1902:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-sgpr-register-set-up-order-table`.

1914                _segment_buffer)                  offset, to access the private

1917
1918                                                  CP uses the value provided by
1919                                                  the runtime.

1926                                                  queued.
1927     then       Kernarg Segment Ptr        2      64 bit address of Kernarg

1933                                                  Having CP load it once avoids
1934                                                  loading it at the beginning of
1935                                                  every wavefront.
1936     then       Dispatch Id                2      64 bit Dispatch ID of the

2099for enabled registers are dense starting at VGPR0: the first enabled register is

2125The setting of registers is is done by GPU CP/ADC/SPI hardware as follows:
2126
21271. SGPRs before the Work-Group Ids are set by CP using the 16 User Data
2128   registers.
21292. Work-group Id registers X, Y, Z are set by ADC which supports any
2130   combination including none.
21313. Scratch Wave Offset is set by SPI in a per wave basis which is why its value
2132   cannot included with the flat scratch init value which is per queue.
21334. The VGPRs are set by SPI which only supports specifying either (X), (X, Y)
2134   or (X, Y, Z).
2135
2136Flat Scratch register pair are adjacent SGRRs so they can be moved as a 64 bit
2137value to the hardware required SGPRn-3 and SGPRn-4 respectively.
2138
2139The global segment can be accessed either using buffer instructions (GFX6 which
2140has V# 64 bit address support), flat instructions (GFX7-9), or global
2141instructions (GFX9).
2142
2143If buffer operations are used then the compiler can generate a V# with the
2144following properties:
2145
2146* base address of 0
2147* no swizzle
2148* ATC: 1 if IOMMU present (such as APU)
2149* ptr64: 1
2150* MTYPE set to support memory coherence that matches the runtime (such as CC for
2151  APU and NC for dGPU).

2164  The M0 register must be initialized with a value at least the total LDS size
2165  if the kernel may access LDS via DS or flat operations. Total LDS size is
2166  available in dispatch packet. For M0, it is also possible to use maximum
2167  possible value of LDS for given target (0x7FFF for GFX6 and 0xFFFF for
2168  GFX7-GFX8).

2177
2178If the kernel may use flat operations to access scratch memory, the prolog code
2179must set up FLAT_SCRATCH register pair (FLAT_SCRATCH_LO/FLAT_SCRATCH_HI which
2180are in SGPRn-4/SGPRn-3). Initialization uses Flat Scratch Init and Scratch Wave
2181Offset SGPR registers (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`):
2182
2183GFX6
2184  Flat scratch is not supported.
2185
2186GFX7-8
2187  1. The low word of Flat Scratch Init is 32 bit byte offset from
2188     ``SH_HIDDEN_PRIVATE_BASE_VIMID`` to the base of scratch backing memory
2189     being managed by SPI for the queue executing the kernel dispatch. This is
2190     the same value used in the Scratch Segment Buffer V# base address. The
2191     prolog must add the value of Scratch Wave Offset to get the wave's byte
2192     scratch backing memory offset from ``SH_HIDDEN_PRIVATE_BASE_VIMID``. Since
2193     FLAT_SCRATCH_LO is in units of 256 bytes, the offset must be right shifted
2194     by 8 before moving into FLAT_SCRATCH_LO.
2195  2. The second word of Flat Scratch Init is 32 bit byte size of a single
2196     work-items scratch memory usage. This is directly loaded from the kernel
2197     dispatch packet Private Segment Byte Size and rounded up to a multiple of
2198     DWORD. Having CP load it once avoids loading it at the beginning of every
2199     wavefront. The prolog must move it to FLAT_SCRATCH_LO for use as FLAT SCRATCH
2200     SIZE.
2201GFX9
2202  The Flat Scratch Init is the 64 bit address of the base of scratch backing
2203  memory being managed by SPI for the queue executing the kernel dispatch. The
2204  prolog must add the value of Scratch Wave Offset and moved to the FLAT_SCRATCH
2205  pair for use as the flat scratch base in flat memory instructions.

2208
2209Memory Model
2210~~~~~~~~~~~~
2211
2212This section describes the mapping of LLVM memory model onto AMDGPU machine code
2213(see :ref:`memmodel`). *The implementation is WIP.*
2214
2215.. TODO
2216   Update when implementation complete.
2217
2218   Support more relaxed OpenCL memory model to be controlled by environment
2219   component of target triple.
2220
2221The AMDGPU backend supports the memory synchronization scopes specified in
2222:ref:`amdgpu-memory-scopes`.
2223
2224The code sequences used to implement the memory model are defined in table
2225:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model-code-sequences-gfx6-gfx9-table`.
2226
2227The sequences specify the order of instructions that a single thread must
2228execute. The ``s_waitcnt`` and ``buffer_wbinvl1_vol`` are defined with respect
2229to other memory instructions executed by the same thread. This allows them to be
2230moved earlier or later which can allow them to be combined with other instances
2231of the same instruction, or hoisted/sunk out of loops to improve
2232performance. Only the instructions related to the memory model are given;
2233additional ``s_waitcnt`` instructions are required to ensure registers are
2234defined before being used. These may be able to be combined with the memory
2235model ``s_waitcnt`` instructions as described above.
2236
2237The AMDGPU memory model supports both the HSA [HSA]_ memory model, and the
2238OpenCL [OpenCL]_ memory model. The HSA memory model uses a single happens-before
2239relation for all address spaces (see :ref:`amdgpu-address-spaces`). The OpenCL
2240memory model which has separate happens-before relations for the global and
2241local address spaces, and only a fence specifying both global and local address
2242space joins the relationships. Since the LLVM ``memfence`` instruction does not
2243allow an address space to be specified the OpenCL fence has to convervatively
2244assume both local and global address space was specified. However, optimizations
2245can often be done to eliminate the additional ``s_waitcnt``instructions when
2246there are no intervening corresponding ``ds/flat_load/store/atomic`` memory
2247instructions. The code sequences in the table indicate what can be omitted for
2248the OpenCL memory. The target triple environment is used to determine if the
2249source language is OpenCL (see :ref:`amdgpu-opencl`).
2250
2251``ds/flat_load/store/atomic`` instructions to local memory are termed LDS
2252operations.
2253
2254``buffer/global/flat_load/store/atomic`` instructions to global memory are
2255termed vector memory operations.
2256
2257For GFX6-GFX9:
2258
2259* Each agent has multiple compute units (CU).
2260* Each CU has multiple SIMDs that execute wavefronts.
2261* The wavefronts for a single work-group are executed in the same CU but may be
2262  executed by different SIMDs.
2263* Each CU has a single LDS memory shared by the wavefronts of the work-groups
2264  executing on it.
2265* All LDS operations of a CU are performed as wavefront wide operations in a
2266  global order and involve no caching. Completion is reported to a wavefront in
2267  execution order.
2268* The LDS memory has multiple request queues shared by the SIMDs of a
2269  CU. Therefore, the LDS operations performed by different waves of a work-group
2270  can be reordered relative to each other, which can result in reordering the
2271  visibility of vector memory operations with respect to LDS operations of other
2272  wavefronts in the same work-group. A ``s_waitcnt lgkmcnt(0)`` is required to
2273  ensure synchronization between LDS operations and vector memory operations
2274  between waves of a work-group, but not between operations performed by the
2275  same wavefront.
2276* The vector memory operations are performed as wavefront wide operations and
2277  completion is reported to a wavefront in execution order. The exception is
2278  that for GFX7-9 ``flat_load/store/atomic`` instructions can report out of
2279  vector memory order if they access LDS memory, and out of LDS operation order
2280  if they access global memory.
2281* The vector memory operations access a vector L1 cache shared by all wavefronts
2282  on a CU. Therefore, no special action is required for coherence between
2283  wavefronts in the same work-group. A ``buffer_wbinvl1_vol`` is required for
2284  coherence between waves executing in different work-groups as they may be
2285  executing on different CUs.
2286* The scalar memory operations access a scalar L1 cache shared by all wavefronts
2287  on a group of CUs. The scalar and vector L1 caches are not coherent. However,
2288  scalar operations are used in a restricted way so do not impact the memory
2289  model. See :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-spaces`.
2290* The vector and scalar memory operations use an L2 cache shared by all CUs on
2291  the same agent.
2292* The L2 cache has independent channels to service disjoint ranges of virtual
2293  addresses.
2294* Each CU has a separate request queue per channel. Therefore, the vector and
2295  scalar memory operations performed by waves executing in different work-groups
2296  (which may be executing on different CUs) of an agent can be reordered
2297  relative to each other. A ``s_waitcnt vmcnt(0)`` is required to ensure
2298  synchronization between vector memory operations of different CUs. It ensures a
2299  previous vector memory operation has completed before executing a subsequent
2300  vector memory or LDS operation and so can be used to meet the requirements of
2301  acquire and release.
2302* The L2 cache can be kept coherent with other agents on some targets, or ranges
2303  of virtual addresses can be set up to bypass it to ensure system coherence.
2304
2305Private address space uses ``buffer_load/store`` using the scratch V# (GFX6-8),
2306or ``scratch_load/store`` (GFX9). Since only a single thread is accessing the
2307memory, atomic memory orderings are not meaningful and all accesses are treated
2308as non-atomic.
2309
2310Constant address space uses ``buffer/global_load`` instructions (or equivalent
2311scalar memory instructions). Since the constant address space contents do not
2312change during the execution of a kernel dispatch it is not legal to perform
2313stores, and atomic memory orderings are not meaningful and all access are
2314treated as non-atomic.
2315
2316A memory synchronization scope wider than work-group is not meaningful for the
2317group (LDS) address space and is treated as work-group.
2318
2319The memory model does not support the region address space which is treated as
2320non-atomic.
2321
2322Acquire memory ordering is not meaningful on store atomic instructions and is
2323treated as non-atomic.
2324
2325Release memory ordering is not meaningful on load atomic instructions and is
2326treated a non-atomic.
2327
2328Acquire-release memory ordering is not meaningful on load or store atomic
2329instructions and is treated as acquire and release respectively.
2330
2331AMDGPU backend only uses scalar memory operations to access memory that is
2332proven to not change during the execution of the kernel dispatch. This includes
2333constant address space and global address space for program scope const
2334variables. Therefore the kernel machine code does not have to maintain the
2335scalar L1 cache to ensure it is coherent with the vector L1 cache. The scalar
2336and vector L1 caches are invalidated between kernel dispatches by CP since
2337constant address space data may change between kernel dispatch executions. See
2338:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-spaces`.
2339
2340The one execption is if scalar writes are used to spill SGPR registers. In this
2341case the AMDGPU backend ensures the memory location used to spill is never
2342accessed by vector memory operations at the same time. If scalar writes are used
2343then a ``s_dcache_wb`` is inserted before the ``s_endpgm`` and before a function
2344return since the locations may be used for vector memory instructions by a
2345future wave that uses the same scratch area, or a function call that creates a
2346frame at the same address, respectively. There is no need for a ``s_dcache_inv``
2347as all scalar writes are write-before-read in the same thread.
2348
2349Scratch backing memory (which is used for the private address space) is accessed
2350with MTYPE NC_NV (non-coherenent non-volatile). Since the private address space
2351is only accessed by a single thread, and is always write-before-read,
2352there is never a need to invalidate these entries from the L1 cache. Hence all
2353cache invalidates are done as ``*_vol`` to only invalidate the volatile cache
2354lines.
2355
2356On dGPU the kernarg backing memory is accessed as UC (uncached) to avoid needing
2357to invalidate the L2 cache. This also causes it to be treated as non-volatile
2358and so is not invalidated by ``*_vol``. On APU it is accessed as CC (cache
2359coherent) and so the L2 cache will coherent with the CPU and other agents.

3466should be ``opencl`` or ``amdgizcl`` (see :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`).
3467
3468When the language is OpenCL the following differences occur:
3469
34701. The OpenCL memory model is used (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model`).
34712. The AMDGPU backend adds additional arguments to the kernel.

3673
3674For vector ALU instruction opcodes (VOP1, VOP2, VOP3, VOPC, VOP_DPP, VOP_SDWA),
3675the assembler will automatically use optimal encoding based on its operands.
3676To force specific encoding, one can add a suffix to the opcode of the instruction:
3677
3678* _e32 for 32-bit VOP1/VOP2/VOPC
3679* _e64 for 64-bit VOP3

3725HSA Code Object Directives
3726~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3727
3728AMDGPU ABI defines auxiliary data in output code object. In assembly source,
3729one can specify them with assembler directives.
3730
3731.hsa_code_object_version major, minor
3732+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
3733
3734*major* and *minor* are integers that specify the version of the HSA code
3735object that will be generated by the assembler.
3736
3737.hsa_code_object_isa [major, minor, stepping, vendor, arch]
3738+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
3739
3740
3741*major*, *minor*, and *stepping* are all integers that describe the instruction
3742set architecture (ISA) version of the assembly program.
3743
3744*vendor* and *arch* are quoted strings.  *vendor* should always be equal to
3745"AMD" and *arch* should always be equal to "AMDGPU".
3746
3747By default, the assembler will derive the ISA version, *vendor*, and *arch*
3748from the value of the -mcpu option that is passed to the assembler.
3749
3750.amdgpu_hsa_kernel (name)
3751+++++++++++++++++++++++++
3752
3753This directives specifies that the symbol with given name is a kernel entry point
3754(label) and the object should contain corresponding symbol of type STT_AMDGPU_HSA_KERNEL.
3755
3756.amd_kernel_code_t
3757++++++++++++++++++
3758
3759This directive marks the beginning of a list of key / value pairs that are used
3760to specify the amd_kernel_code_t object that will be emitted by the assembler.
3761The list must be terminated by the *.end_amd_kernel_code_t* directive.  For
3762any amd_kernel_code_t values that are unspecified a default value will be
3763used.  The default value for all keys is 0, with the following exceptions:
3764
3765- *kernel_code_version_major* defaults to 1.
3766- *machine_kind* defaults to 1.
3767- *machine_version_major*, *machine_version_minor*, and
3768  *machine_version_stepping* are derived from the value of the -mcpu option
3769  that is passed to the assembler.
3770- *kernel_code_entry_byte_offset* defaults to 256.
3771- *wavefront_size* defaults to 6.
3772- *kernarg_segment_alignment*, *group_segment_alignment*, and
3773  *private_segment_alignment* default to 4.  Note that alignments are specified
3774  as a power of two, so a value of **n** means an alignment of 2^ **n**.
3775
3776The *.amd_kernel_code_t* directive must be placed immediately after the
3777function label and before any instructions.
