217.. _amdgpu-target-features:
218
219Target Features
220---------------
221
222Target features control how code is generated to support certain
223processor specific features. Not all target features are supported by
224all processors. The runtime must ensure that the features supported by
225the device used to execute the code match the features enabled when
226generating the code. A mismatch of features may result in incorrect
227execution, or a reduction in performance.
228
229The target features supported by each processor, and the default value
230used if not specified explicitly, is listed in
231:ref:`amdgpu-processor-table`.
232
233Use the ``clang -m[no-]<TargetFeature>`` option to specify the AMD GPU
234target features.
235
236For example:
237
238``-mxnack``
239  Enable the ``xnack`` feature.
240``-mno-xnack``
241  Disable the ``xnack`` feature.
242
243  .. table:: AMDGPU Target Features
244     :name: amdgpu-target-feature-table
245
246     =============== ==================================================
247     Target Feature  Description
248     =============== ==================================================
249     -m[no-]xnack    Enable/disable generating code that has
250                     memory clauses that are compatible with
251                     having XNACK replay enabled.
252
253                     This is used for demand paging and page
254                     migration. If XNACK replay is enabled in
255                     the device, then if a page fault occurs
256                     the code may execute incorrectly if the
257                     ``xnack`` feature is not enabled. Executing
258                     code that has the feature enabled on a
259                     device that does not have XNACK replay
260                     enabled will execute correctly, but may
261                     be less performant than code with the
262                     feature disabled.
263     -m[no-]sram-ecc Enable/disable generating code that assumes SRAM
264                     ECC is enabled/disabled.

268
269Address Spaces
270--------------
271
272The AMDGPU backend uses the following address space mappings.
273
274The memory space names used in the table, aside from the region memory space, is
275from the OpenCL standard.
276
277LLVM Address Space number is used throughout LLVM (for example, in LLVM IR).
278
279  .. table:: Address Space Mapping
280     :name: amdgpu-address-space-mapping-table
281
282     ================== =================================
283     LLVM Address Space Memory Space
284     ================== =================================
285     0                  Generic (Flat)
286     1                  Global
287     2                  Region (GDS)
288     3                  Local (group/LDS)
289     4                  Constant
290     5                  Private (Scratch)
291     6                  Constant 32-bit
292     7                  Buffer Fat Pointer (experimental)
293     ================== =================================
294
295The buffer fat pointer is an experimental address space that is currently
296unsupported in the backend. It exposes a non-integral pointer that is in future
297intended to support the modelling of 128-bit buffer descriptors + a 32-bit
298offset into the buffer descriptor (in total encapsulating a 160-bit 'pointer'),
299allowing us to use normal LLVM load/store/atomic operations to model the buffer
300descriptors used heavily in graphics workloads targeting the backend.
301
302.. _amdgpu-memory-scopes:
303
304Memory Scopes
305-------------
306
307This section provides LLVM memory synchronization scopes supported by the AMDGPU
308backend memory model when the target triple OS is ``amdhsa`` (see
309:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model` and :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`).
310
311The memory model supported is based on the HSA memory model [HSA]_ which is
312based in turn on HRF-indirect with scope inclusion [HRF]_. The happens-before
313relation is transitive over the synchonizes-with relation independent of scope,
314and synchonizes-with allows the memory scope instances to be inclusive (see
315table :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-llvm-sync-scopes-table`).
316
317This is different to the OpenCL [OpenCL]_ memory model which does not have scope
318inclusion and requires the memory scopes to exactly match. However, this
319is conservatively correct for OpenCL.

496``e_ident[EI_CLASS]``
497  The ELF class is:
498
499  * ``ELFCLASS32`` for ``r600`` architecture.
500
501  * ``ELFCLASS64`` for ``amdgcn`` architecture which only supports 64
502    bit applications.
503
504``e_ident[EI_DATA]``
505  All AMDGPU targets use ``ELFDATA2LSB`` for little-endian byte ordering.
506
507``e_ident[EI_OSABI]``
508  One of the following AMD GPU architecture specific OS ABIs
509  (see :ref:`amdgpu-os-table`):
510
511  * ``ELFOSABI_NONE`` for *unknown* OS.
512
513  * ``ELFOSABI_AMDGPU_HSA`` for ``amdhsa`` OS.
514
515  * ``ELFOSABI_AMDGPU_PAL`` for ``amdpal`` OS.
516
517  * ``ELFOSABI_AMDGPU_MESA3D`` for ``mesa3D`` OS.
518
519``e_ident[EI_ABIVERSION]``
520  The ABI version of the AMD GPU architecture specific OS ABI to which the code
521  object conforms:
522
523  * ``ELFABIVERSION_AMDGPU_HSA`` is used to specify the version of AMD HSA
524    runtime ABI.
525
526  * ``ELFABIVERSION_AMDGPU_PAL`` is used to specify the version of AMD PAL
527    runtime ABI.
528
529  * ``ELFABIVERSION_AMDGPU_MESA3D`` is used to specify the version of AMD MESA
530    3D runtime ABI.
531
532``e_type``
533  Can be one of the following values:
534
535
536  ``ET_REL``
537    The type produced by the AMD GPU backend compiler as it is relocatable code
538    object.
539
540  ``ET_DYN``
541    The type produced by the linker as it is a shared code object.
542
543  The AMD HSA runtime loader requires a ``ET_DYN`` code object.
544
545``e_machine``
546  The value ``EM_AMDGPU`` is used for the machine for all processors supported
547  by the ``r600`` and ``amdgcn`` architectures (see
548  :ref:`amdgpu-processor-table`). The specific processor is specified in the
549  ``EF_AMDGPU_MACH`` bit field of the ``e_flags`` (see
550  :ref:`amdgpu-elf-header-e_flags-table`).
551
552``e_entry``
553  The entry point is 0 as the entry points for individual kernels must be
554  selected in order to invoke them through AQL packets.
555
556``e_flags``
557  The AMDGPU backend uses the following ELF header flags:

703Note Records
704------------
705
706The AMDGPU backend code object contains ELF note records in the ``.note``
707section. The set of generated notes and their semantics depend on the code
708object version; see :ref:`amdgpu-note-records-v2` and
709:ref:`amdgpu-note-records-v3`.
710
711As required by ``ELFCLASS32`` and ``ELFCLASS64``, minimal zero byte padding
712must be generated after the ``name`` field to ensure the ``desc`` field is 4
713byte aligned. In addition, minimal zero byte padding must be generated to
714ensure the ``desc`` field size is a multiple of 4 bytes. The ``sh_addralign``
715field of the ``.note`` section must be at least 4 to indicate at least 8 byte
716alignment.

819     ===================== ============== ============= ==================
820
821Global variable
822  Global variables both used and defined by the compilation unit.
823
824  If the symbol is defined in the compilation unit then it is allocated in the
825  appropriate section according to if it has initialized data or is readonly.
826
827  If the symbol is external then its section is ``STN_UNDEF`` and the loader
828  will resolve relocations using the definition provided by another code object
829  or explicitly defined by the runtime.
830
831  All global symbols, whether defined in the compilation unit or external, are
832  accessed by the machine code indirectly through a GOT table entry. This
833  allows them to be preemptable. The GOT table is only supported when the target
834  triple OS is ``amdhsa`` (see :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`).
835
836  .. TODO
837     Add description of linked shared object symbols. Seems undefined symbols
838     are marked as STT_NOTYPE.
839
840Kernel descriptor
841  Every HSA kernel has an associated kernel descriptor. It is the address of the
842  kernel descriptor that is used in the AQL dispatch packet used to invoke the
843  kernel, not the kernel entry point. The layout of the HSA kernel descriptor is
844  defined in :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`.
845
846Kernel entry point
847  Every HSA kernel also has a symbol for its machine code entry point.
848
849.. _amdgpu-relocation-records:
850
851Relocation Records
852------------------
853
854AMDGPU backend generates ``Elf64_Rela`` relocation records. Supported
855relocatable fields are:
856
857``word32``
858  This specifies a 32-bit field occupying 4 bytes with arbitrary byte
859  alignment. These values use the same byte order as other word values in the
860  AMD GPU architecture.
861
862``word64``
863  This specifies a 64-bit field occupying 8 bytes with arbitrary byte
864  alignment. These values use the same byte order as other word values in the
865  AMD GPU architecture.
866
867Following notations are used for specifying relocation calculations:
868
869**A**
870  Represents the addend used to compute the value of the relocatable field.
871
872**G**
873  Represents the offset into the global offset table at which the relocation
874  entry's symbol will reside during execution.
875
876**GOT**
877  Represents the address of the global offset table.
878
879**P**
880  Represents the place (section offset for ``et_rel`` or address for ``et_dyn``)
881  of the storage unit being relocated (computed using ``r_offset``).
882
883**S**
884  Represents the value of the symbol whose index resides in the relocation
885  entry. Relocations not using this must specify a symbol index of ``STN_UNDEF``.
886
887**B**
888  Represents the base address of a loaded executable or shared object which is
889  the difference between the ELF address and the actual load address. Relocations
890  using this are only valid in executable or shared objects.
891
892The following relocation types are supported:

920``R_AMDGPU_ABS32_LO`` and ``R_AMDGPU_ABS32_HI`` are only supported by
921the ``mesa3d`` OS, which does not support ``R_AMDGPU_ABS64``.
922
923There is no current OS loader support for 32 bit programs and so
924``R_AMDGPU_ABS32`` is not used.

927
928DWARF
929-----
930
931Standard DWARF [DWARF]_ Version 5 sections can be generated. These contain
932information that maps the code object executable code and data to the source
933language constructs. It can be used by tools such as debuggers and profilers.
934
935Address Space Mapping
936~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
937
938The following address space mapping is used:
939
940  .. table:: AMDGPU DWARF Address Space Mapping
941     :name: amdgpu-dwarf-address-space-mapping-table
942
943     =================== =================

947     2                   Local (group/LDS)
948     *omitted*           Global
949     *omitted*           Constant
950     *omitted*           Generic (Flat)
951     *not supported*     Region (GDS)
952     =================== =================
953
954See :ref:`amdgpu-address-spaces` for information on the memory space terminology
955used in the table.
956
957An ``address_class`` attribute is generated on pointer type DIEs to specify the
958DWARF address space of the value of the pointer when it is in the *private* or
959*local* address space. Otherwise the attribute is omitted.
960
961An ``XDEREF`` operation is generated in location list expressions for variables
962that are allocated in the *private* and *local* address space. Otherwise no
963``XDREF`` is omitted.
964
965Register Mapping
966~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
967
968*This section is WIP.*
969
970.. TODO
971   Define DWARF register enumeration.
972
973   If want to present a wavefront state then should expose vector registers as
974   64 wide (rather than per work-item view that LLVM uses). Either as separate
975   registers, or a 64x4 byte single register. In either case use a new LANE op
976   (akin to XDREF) to select the current lane usage in a location
977   expression. This would also allow scalar register spilling to vector register
978   lanes to be expressed (currently no debug information is being generated for
979   spilling). If choose a wide single register approach then use LANE in
980   conjunction with PIECE operation to select the dword part of the register for
981   the current lane. If the separate register approach then use LANE to select
982   the register.
983
984Source Text
985~~~~~~~~~~~
986
987Source text for online-compiled programs (e.g. those compiled by the OpenCL
988runtime) may be embedded into the DWARF v5 line table using the ``clang
989-gembed-source`` option, described in table :ref:`amdgpu-debug-options`.
990
991For example:
992
993``-gembed-source``
994  Enable the embedded source DWARF v5 extension.
995``-gno-embed-source``
996  Disable the embedded source DWARF v5 extension.

1022The source field will contain the UTF-8 encoded, null-terminated source text
1023with ``'\n'`` line endings. When the source field is present, consumers can use
1024the embedded source instead of attempting to discover the source on disk. When
1025the source field is absent, consumers can access the file to get the source
1026text.
1027
1028The above content type appears in the ``file_name_entry_format`` field of the
1029line table prologue, and its corresponding value appear in the ``file_names``

1057
1058Code Object Target Identification
1059~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1060
1061The AMDHSA OS uses the following syntax to specify the code object
1062target as a single string:
1063
1064  ``<Architecture>-<Vendor>-<OS>-<Environment>-<Processor><Target Features>``
1065
1066Where:
1067
1068  - ``<Architecture>``, ``<Vendor>``, ``<OS>`` and ``<Environment>``
1069    are the same as the *Target Triple* (see
1070    :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`).
1071
1072  - ``<Processor>`` is the same as the *Processor* (see
1073    :ref:`amdgpu-processors`).
1074
1075  - ``<Target Features>`` is a list of the enabled *Target Features*
1076    (see :ref:`amdgpu-target-features`), each prefixed by a plus, that
1077    apply to *Processor*. The list must be in the same order as listed
1078    in the table :ref:`amdgpu-target-feature-table`. Note that *Target
1079    Features* must be included in the list if they are enabled even if
1080    that is the default for *Processor*.

1087
1088Code Object Metadata
1089~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1090
1091The code object metadata specifies extensible metadata associated with the code
1092objects executed on HSA [HSA]_ compatible runtimes such as AMD's ROCm
1093[AMD-ROCm]_. The encoding and semantics of this metadata depends on the code
1094object version; see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-code-object-metadata-v2` and
1095:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-code-object-metadata-v3`.
1096
1097Code object metadata is specified in a note record (see
1098:ref:`amdgpu-note-records`) and is required when the target triple OS is
1099``amdhsa`` (see :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`). It must contain the minimum
1100information necessary to support the ROCM kernel queries. For example, the
1101segment sizes needed in a dispatch packet. In addition, a high level language
1102runtime may require other information to be included. For example, the AMD
1103OpenCL runtime records kernel argument information.

1112  default configuration (Code Object V3) see
1113  :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-code-object-metadata-v3`.
1114
1115Code object V2 metadata is specified by the ``NT_AMD_AMDGPU_METADATA`` note
1116record (see :ref:`amdgpu-note-records-v2`).
1117
1118The metadata is specified as a YAML formatted string (see [YAML]_ and
1119:doc:`YamlIO`).
1120
1121.. TODO
1122   Is the string null terminated? It probably should not if YAML allows it to
1123   contain null characters, otherwise it should be.
1124
1125The metadata is represented as a single YAML document comprised of the mapping
1126defined in table :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-code-object-metadata-map-table-v2` and
1127referenced tables.
1128
1129For boolean values, the string values of ``false`` and ``true`` are used for
1130false and true respectively.

1539Code object V3 metadata is specified by the ``NT_AMDGPU_METADATA`` note record
1540(see :ref:`amdgpu-note-records-v3`).
1541
1542The metadata is represented as Message Pack formatted binary data (see
1543[MsgPack]_). The top level is a Message Pack map that includes the
1544keys defined in table
1545:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-code-object-metadata-map-table-v3` and referenced
1546tables.
1547
1548Additional information can be added to the maps. To avoid conflicts,
1549any key names should be prefixed by "*vendor-name*." where
1550``vendor-name`` can be the the name of the vendor and specific vendor
1551tool that generates the information. The prefix is abbreviated to
1552simply "." when it appears within a map that has been added by the
1553same *vendor-name*.

1944Kernel Dispatch
1945~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1946
1947The HSA architected queuing language (AQL) defines a user space memory interface
1948that can be used to control the dispatch of kernels, in an agent independent
1949way. An agent can have zero or more AQL queues created for it using the ROCm
1950runtime, in which AQL packets (all of which are 64 bytes) can be placed. See the
1951*HSA Platform System Architecture Specification* [HSA]_ for the AQL queue
1952mechanics and packet layouts.
1953
1954The packet processor of a kernel agent is responsible for detecting and
1955dispatching HSA kernels from the AQL queues associated with it. For AMD GPUs the
1956packet processor is implemented by the hardware command processor (CP),
1957asynchronous dispatch controller (ADC) and shader processor input controller
1958(SPI).
1959
1960The ROCm runtime can be used to allocate an AQL queue object. It uses the kernel
1961mode driver to initialize and register the AQL queue with CP.
1962
1963To dispatch a kernel the following actions are performed. This can occur in the
1964CPU host program, or from an HSA kernel executing on a GPU.
1965
19661. A pointer to an AQL queue for the kernel agent on which the kernel is to be
1967   executed is obtained.
19682. A pointer to the kernel descriptor (see
1969   :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`) of the kernel to execute is
1970   obtained. It must be for a kernel that is contained in a code object that that
1971   was loaded by the ROCm runtime on the kernel agent with which the AQL queue is
1972   associated.
19733. Space is allocated for the kernel arguments using the ROCm runtime allocator
1974   for a memory region with the kernarg property for the kernel agent that will
1975   execute the kernel. It must be at least 16 byte aligned.
19764. Kernel argument values are assigned to the kernel argument memory
1977   allocation. The layout is defined in the *HSA Programmer's Language Reference*
1978   [HSA]_. For AMDGPU the kernel execution directly accesses the kernel argument
1979   memory in the same way constant memory is accessed. (Note that the HSA
1980   specification allows an implementation to copy the kernel argument contents to
1981   another location that is accessed by the kernel.)
19825. An AQL kernel dispatch packet is created on the AQL queue. The ROCm runtime
1983   api uses 64 bit atomic operations to reserve space in the AQL queue for the
1984   packet. The packet must be set up, and the final write must use an atomic
1985   store release to set the packet kind to ensure the packet contents are
1986   visible to the kernel agent. AQL defines a doorbell signal mechanism to
1987   notify the kernel agent that the AQL queue has been updated. These rules, and
1988   the layout of the AQL queue and kernel dispatch packet is defined in the *HSA
1989   System Architecture Specification* [HSA]_.
19906. A kernel dispatch packet includes information about the actual dispatch,
1991   such as grid and work-group size, together with information from the code
1992   object about the kernel, such as segment sizes. The ROCm runtime queries on
1993   the kernel symbol can be used to obtain the code object values which are
1994   recorded in the :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-code-object-metadata`.
19957. CP executes micro-code and is responsible for detecting and setting up the
1996   GPU to execute the wavefronts of a kernel dispatch.
19978. CP ensures that when the a wavefront starts executing the kernel machine
1998   code, the scalar general purpose registers (SGPR) and vector general purpose
1999   registers (VGPR) are set up as required by the machine code. The required
2000   setup is defined in the :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`. The initial
2001   register state is defined in
2002   :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`.
20039. The prolog of the kernel machine code (see
2004   :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog`) sets up the machine state as necessary
2005   before continuing executing the machine code that corresponds to the kernel.
200610. When the kernel dispatch has completed execution, CP signals the completion
2007    signal specified in the kernel dispatch packet if not 0.

2031     ================= =========== ======== ======= ==================
2032
2033The global and constant memory spaces both use global virtual addresses, which
2034are the same virtual address space used by the CPU. However, some virtual
2035addresses may only be accessible to the CPU, some only accessible by the GPU,
2036and some by both.
2037
2038Using the constant memory space indicates that the data will not change during
2039the execution of the kernel. This allows scalar read instructions to be
2040used. The vector and scalar L1 caches are invalidated of volatile data before
2041each kernel dispatch execution to allow constant memory to change values between
2042kernel dispatches.
2043
2044The local memory space uses the hardware Local Data Store (LDS) which is
2045automatically allocated when the hardware creates work-groups of wavefronts, and
2046freed when all the wavefronts of a work-group have terminated. The data store
2047(DS) instructions can be used to access it.
2048
2049The private memory space uses the hardware scratch memory support. If the kernel
2050uses scratch, then the hardware allocates memory that is accessed using
2051wavefront lane dword (4 byte) interleaving. The mapping used from private
2052address to physical address is:
2053
2054  ``wavefront-scratch-base +
2055  (private-address * wavefront-size * 4) +
2056  (wavefront-lane-id * 4)``
2057
2058There are different ways that the wavefront scratch base address is determined
2059by a wavefront (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`). This
2060memory can be accessed in an interleaved manner using buffer instruction with
2061the scratch buffer descriptor and per wavefront scratch offset, by the scratch
2062instructions, or by flat instructions. If each lane of a wavefront accesses the
2063same private address, the interleaving results in adjacent dwords being accessed
2064and hence requires fewer cache lines to be fetched. Multi-dword access is not
2065supported except by flat and scratch instructions in GFX9.
2066
2067The generic address space uses the hardware flat address support available in
2068GFX7-GFX9. This uses two fixed ranges of virtual addresses (the private and
2069local appertures), that are outside the range of addressible global memory, to
2070map from a flat address to a private or local address.
2071
2072FLAT instructions can take a flat address and access global, private (scratch)
2073and group (LDS) memory depending in if the address is within one of the
2074apperture ranges. Flat access to scratch requires hardware aperture setup and
2075setup in the kernel prologue (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-flat-scratch`). Flat
2076access to LDS requires hardware aperture setup and M0 (GFX7-GFX8) register setup
2077(see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-m0`).
2078
2079To convert between a segment address and a flat address the base address of the
2080appertures address can be used. For GFX7-GFX8 these are available in the
2081:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-hsa-aql-queue` the address of which can be obtained with
2082Queue Ptr SGPR (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`). For
2083GFX9 the appature base addresses are directly available as inline constant
2084registers ``SRC_SHARED_BASE/LIMIT`` and ``SRC_PRIVATE_BASE/LIMIT``. In 64 bit
2085address mode the apperture sizes are 2^32 bytes and the base is aligned to 2^32
2086which makes it easier to convert from flat to segment or segment to flat.
2087
2088Image and Samplers
2089~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2090
2091Image and sample handles created by the ROCm runtime are 64 bit addresses of a
2092hardware 32 byte V# and 48 byte S# object respectively. In order to support the
2093HSA ``query_sampler`` operations two extra dwords are used to store the HSA BRIG
2094enumeration values for the queries that are not trivially deducible from the S#
2095representation.
2096
2097HSA Signals
2098~~~~~~~~~~~
2099
2100HSA signal handles created by the ROCm runtime are 64 bit addresses of a
2101structure allocated in memory accessible from both the CPU and GPU. The
2102structure is defined by the ROCm runtime and subject to change between releases
2103(see [AMD-ROCm-github]_).

2110The HSA AQL queue structure is defined by the ROCm runtime and subject to change
2111between releases (see [AMD-ROCm-github]_). For some processors it contains
2112fields needed to implement certain language features such as the flat address
2113aperture bases. It also contains fields used by CP such as managing the

2633Initial Kernel Execution State
2634~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2635
2636This section defines the register state that will be set up by the packet
2637processor prior to the start of execution of every wavefront. This is limited by
2638the constraints of the hardware controllers of CP/ADC/SPI.
2639
2640The order of the SGPR registers is defined, but the compiler can specify which
2641ones are actually setup in the kernel descriptor using the ``enable_sgpr_*`` bit
2642fields (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`). The register numbers used
2643for enabled registers are dense starting at SGPR0: the first enabled register is
2644SGPR0, the next enabled register is SGPR1 etc.; disabled registers do not have
2645an SGPR number.
2646
2647The initial SGPRs comprise up to 16 User SRGPs that are set by CP and apply to
2648all wavefronts of the grid. It is possible to specify more than 16 User SGPRs using
2649the ``enable_sgpr_*`` bit fields, in which case only the first 16 are actually
2650initialized. These are then immediately followed by the System SGPRs that are
2651set up by ADC/SPI and can have different values for each wavefront of the grid
2652dispatch.
2653
2654SGPR register initial state is defined in
2655:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-sgpr-register-set-up-order-table`.

2670
2671                                                  CP uses the value provided by
2672                                                  the runtime.

2679                                                  queued.
2680     then       Kernarg Segment Ptr        2      64 bit address of Kernarg

2850The order of the VGPR registers is defined, but the compiler can specify which
2851ones are actually setup in the kernel descriptor using the ``enable_vgpr*`` bit
2852fields (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`). The register numbers used
2853for enabled registers are dense starting at VGPR0: the first enabled register is
2854VGPR0, the next enabled register is VGPR1 etc.; disabled registers do not have a
2855VGPR number.

2878
2879The setting of registers is done by GPU CP/ADC/SPI hardware as follows:
2880
28811. SGPRs before the Work-Group Ids are set by CP using the 16 User Data
2882   registers.
28832. Work-group Id registers X, Y, Z are set by ADC which supports any
2884   combination including none.
28853. Scratch Wavefront Offset is set by SPI in a per wavefront basis which is why
2886   its value cannot included with the flat scratch init value which is per queue.
28874. The VGPRs are set by SPI which only supports specifying either (X), (X, Y)
2888   or (X, Y, Z).
2889
2890Flat Scratch register pair are adjacent SGRRs so they can be moved as a 64 bit
2891value to the hardware required SGPRn-3 and SGPRn-4 respectively.
2892
2893The global segment can be accessed either using buffer instructions (GFX6 which
2894has V# 64 bit address support), flat instructions (GFX7-GFX9), or global
2895instructions (GFX9).
2896
2897If buffer operations are used then the compiler can generate a V# with the
2898following properties:
2899
2900* base address of 0
2901* no swizzle
2902* ATC: 1 if IOMMU present (such as APU)
2903* ptr64: 1
2904* MTYPE set to support memory coherence that matches the runtime (such as CC for
2905  APU and NC for dGPU).

2918  The M0 register must be initialized with a value at least the total LDS size
2919  if the kernel may access LDS via DS or flat operations. Total LDS size is
2920  available in dispatch packet. For M0, it is also possible to use maximum
2921  possible value of LDS for given target (0x7FFF for GFX6 and 0xFFFF for
2922  GFX7-GFX8).

2931
2932If the kernel may use flat operations to access scratch memory, the prolog code
2933must set up FLAT_SCRATCH register pair (FLAT_SCRATCH_LO/FLAT_SCRATCH_HI which
2934are in SGPRn-4/SGPRn-3). Initialization uses Flat Scratch Init and Scratch Wavefront
2935Offset SGPR registers (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`):
2936
2937GFX6
2938  Flat scratch is not supported.
2939
2940GFX7-GFX8
2941  1. The low word of Flat Scratch Init is 32 bit byte offset from
2942     ``SH_HIDDEN_PRIVATE_BASE_VIMID`` to the base of scratch backing memory
2943     being managed by SPI for the queue executing the kernel dispatch. This is
2944     the same value used in the Scratch Segment Buffer V# base address. The
2945     prolog must add the value of Scratch Wavefront Offset to get the wavefront's byte
2946     scratch backing memory offset from ``SH_HIDDEN_PRIVATE_BASE_VIMID``. Since
2947     FLAT_SCRATCH_LO is in units of 256 bytes, the offset must be right shifted
2948     by 8 before moving into FLAT_SCRATCH_LO.
2949  2. The second word of Flat Scratch Init is 32 bit byte size of a single
2950     work-items scratch memory usage. This is directly loaded from the kernel
2951     dispatch packet Private Segment Byte Size and rounded up to a multiple of
2952     DWORD. Having CP load it once avoids loading it at the beginning of every
2953     wavefront. The prolog must move it to FLAT_SCRATCH_LO for use as FLAT SCRATCH
2954     SIZE.
2955
2956GFX9
2957  The Flat Scratch Init is the 64 bit address of the base of scratch backing
2958  memory being managed by SPI for the queue executing the kernel dispatch. The
2959  prolog must add the value of Scratch Wavefront Offset and moved to the FLAT_SCRATCH
2960  pair for use as the flat scratch base in flat memory instructions.

2962.. _amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model:
2963
2964Memory Model
2965~~~~~~~~~~~~
2966
2967This section describes the mapping of LLVM memory model onto AMDGPU machine code
2968(see :ref:`memmodel`). *The implementation is WIP.*
2969
2970.. TODO
2971   Update when implementation complete.
2972
2973The AMDGPU backend supports the memory synchronization scopes specified in
2974:ref:`amdgpu-memory-scopes`.
2975
2976The code sequences used to implement the memory model are defined in table
2977:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model-code-sequences-gfx6-gfx9-table`.
2978
2979The sequences specify the order of instructions that a single thread must
2980execute. The ``s_waitcnt`` and ``buffer_wbinvl1_vol`` are defined with respect
2981to other memory instructions executed by the same thread. This allows them to be
2982moved earlier or later which can allow them to be combined with other instances
2983of the same instruction, or hoisted/sunk out of loops to improve
2984performance. Only the instructions related to the memory model are given;
2985additional ``s_waitcnt`` instructions are required to ensure registers are
2986defined before being used. These may be able to be combined with the memory
2987model ``s_waitcnt`` instructions as described above.
2988
2989The AMDGPU backend supports the following memory models:
2990
2991  HSA Memory Model [HSA]_
2992    The HSA memory model uses a single happens-before relation for all address
2993    spaces (see :ref:`amdgpu-address-spaces`).
2994  OpenCL Memory Model [OpenCL]_
2995    The OpenCL memory model which has separate happens-before relations for the
2996    global and local address spaces. Only a fence specifying both global and
2997    local address space, and seq_cst instructions join the relationships. Since
2998    the LLVM ``memfence`` instruction does not allow an address space to be
2999    specified the OpenCL fence has to convervatively assume both local and
3000    global address space was specified. However, optimizations can often be
3001    done to eliminate the additional ``s_waitcnt`` instructions when there are
3002    no intervening memory instructions which access the corresponding address
3003    space. The code sequences in the table indicate what can be omitted for the
3004    OpenCL memory. The target triple environment is used to determine if the
3005    source language is OpenCL (see :ref:`amdgpu-opencl`).
3006
3007``ds/flat_load/store/atomic`` instructions to local memory are termed LDS
3008operations.
3009
3010``buffer/global/flat_load/store/atomic`` instructions to global memory are
3011termed vector memory operations.
3012
3013For GFX6-GFX9:
3014
3015* Each agent has multiple compute units (CU).
3016* Each CU has multiple SIMDs that execute wavefronts.
3017* The wavefronts for a single work-group are executed in the same CU but may be
3018  executed by different SIMDs.
3019* Each CU has a single LDS memory shared by the wavefronts of the work-groups
3020  executing on it.
3021* All LDS operations of a CU are performed as wavefront wide operations in a
3022  global order and involve no caching. Completion is reported to a wavefront in
3023  execution order.
3024* The LDS memory has multiple request queues shared by the SIMDs of a
3025  CU. Therefore, the LDS operations performed by different wavefronts of a work-group
3026  can be reordered relative to each other, which can result in reordering the
3027  visibility of vector memory operations with respect to LDS operations of other
3028  wavefronts in the same work-group. A ``s_waitcnt lgkmcnt(0)`` is required to
3029  ensure synchronization between LDS operations and vector memory operations
3030  between wavefronts of a work-group, but not between operations performed by the
3031  same wavefront.
3032* The vector memory operations are performed as wavefront wide operations and
3033  completion is reported to a wavefront in execution order. The exception is
3034  that for GFX7-GFX9 ``flat_load/store/atomic`` instructions can report out of
3035  vector memory order if they access LDS memory, and out of LDS operation order
3036  if they access global memory.
3037* The vector memory operations access a single vector L1 cache shared by all
3038  SIMDs a CU. Therefore, no special action is required for coherence between the
3039  lanes of a single wavefront, or for coherence between wavefronts in the same
3040  work-group. A ``buffer_wbinvl1_vol`` is required for coherence between wavefronts
3041  executing in different work-groups as they may be executing on different CUs.
3042* The scalar memory operations access a scalar L1 cache shared by all wavefronts
3043  on a group of CUs. The scalar and vector L1 caches are not coherent. However,
3044  scalar operations are used in a restricted way so do not impact the memory
3045  model. See :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-spaces`.
3046* The vector and scalar memory operations use an L2 cache shared by all CUs on
3047  the same agent.
3048* The L2 cache has independent channels to service disjoint ranges of virtual
3049  addresses.
3050* Each CU has a separate request queue per channel. Therefore, the vector and
3051  scalar memory operations performed by wavefronts executing in different work-groups
3052  (which may be executing on different CUs) of an agent can be reordered
3053  relative to each other. A ``s_waitcnt vmcnt(0)`` is required to ensure
3054  synchronization between vector memory operations of different CUs. It ensures a
3055  previous vector memory operation has completed before executing a subsequent
3056  vector memory or LDS operation and so can be used to meet the requirements of
3057  acquire and release.
3058* The L2 cache can be kept coherent with other agents on some targets, or ranges
3059  of virtual addresses can be set up to bypass it to ensure system coherence.
3060
3061Private address space uses ``buffer_load/store`` using the scratch V# (GFX6-GFX8),
3062or ``scratch_load/store`` (GFX9). Since only a single thread is accessing the
3063memory, atomic memory orderings are not meaningful and all accesses are treated
3064as non-atomic.
3065
3066Constant address space uses ``buffer/global_load`` instructions (or equivalent
3067scalar memory instructions). Since the constant address space contents do not
3068change during the execution of a kernel dispatch it is not legal to perform
3069stores, and atomic memory orderings are not meaningful and all access are
3070treated as non-atomic.
3071
3072A memory synchronization scope wider than work-group is not meaningful for the
3073group (LDS) address space and is treated as work-group.
3074
3075The memory model does not support the region address space which is treated as
3076non-atomic.
3077
3078Acquire memory ordering is not meaningful on store atomic instructions and is
3079treated as non-atomic.
3080
3081Release memory ordering is not meaningful on load atomic instructions and is
3082treated a non-atomic.
3083
3084Acquire-release memory ordering is not meaningful on load or store atomic
3085instructions and is treated as acquire and release respectively.
3086
3087AMDGPU backend only uses scalar memory operations to access memory that is
3088proven to not change during the execution of the kernel dispatch. This includes
3089constant address space and global address space for program scope const
3090variables. Therefore the kernel machine code does not have to maintain the
3091scalar L1 cache to ensure it is coherent with the vector L1 cache. The scalar
3092and vector L1 caches are invalidated between kernel dispatches by CP since
3093constant address space data may change between kernel dispatch executions. See
3094:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-spaces`.
3095
3096The one execption is if scalar writes are used to spill SGPR registers. In this
3097case the AMDGPU backend ensures the memory location used to spill is never
3098accessed by vector memory operations at the same time. If scalar writes are used
3099then a ``s_dcache_wb`` is inserted before the ``s_endpgm`` and before a function
3100return since the locations may be used for vector memory instructions by a
3101future wavefront that uses the same scratch area, or a function call that creates a
3102frame at the same address, respectively. There is no need for a ``s_dcache_inv``
3103as all scalar writes are write-before-read in the same thread.
3104
3105Scratch backing memory (which is used for the private address space)
3106is accessed with MTYPE NC_NV (non-coherenent non-volatile). Since the private
3107address space is only accessed by a single thread, and is always
3108write-before-read, there is never a need to invalidate these entries from the L1
3109cache. Hence all cache invalidates are done as ``*_vol`` to only invalidate the
3110volatile cache lines.
3111
3112On dGPU the kernarg backing memory is accessed as UC (uncached) to avoid needing
3113to invalidate the L2 cache. This also causes it to be treated as
3114non-volatile and so is not invalidated by ``*_vol``. On APU it is accessed as CC
3115(cache coherent) and so the L2 cache will coherent with the CPU and other
3116agents.

4410AMDPAL
4411------
4412
4413This section provides code conventions used when the target triple OS is
4414``amdpal`` (see :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`) for passing runtime parameters
4415from the application/runtime to each invocation of a hardware shader. These
4416parameters include both generic, application-controlled parameters called
4417*user data* as well as system-generated parameters that are a product of the
4418draw or dispatch execution.
4419
4420User Data
4421~~~~~~~~~
4422
4423Each hardware stage has a set of 32-bit *user data registers* which can be
4424written from a command buffer and then loaded into SGPRs when waves are launched
4425via a subsequent dispatch or draw operation. This is the way most arguments are
4426passed from the application/runtime to a hardware shader.
4427
4428Compute User Data
4429~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4430
4431Compute shader user data mappings are simpler than graphics shaders, and have a
4432fixed mapping.
4433
4434Note that there are always 10 available *user data entries* in registers -
4435entries beyond that limit must be fetched from memory (via the spill table
4436pointer) by the shader.

4452Graphics User Data
4453~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4454
4455Graphics pipelines support a much more flexible user data mapping:
4456

4463     0             Global Internal Table (32-bit pointer)
4464     +             Per-Shader Internal Table (32-bit pointer)
4465     + 1-15        Application Controlled User Data
4466                   (1-15 Contiguous 32-bit Values in Registers)
4467     +             Spill Table (32-bit pointer)
4468     +             Draw Index (First Stage Only)
4469     +             Vertex Offset (First Stage Only)
4470     +             Instance Offset (First Stage Only)
4471     ============= ================================
4472
4473  The placement of the global internal table remains fixed in the first *user
4474  data SGPR register*. Otherwise all parameters are optional, and can be mapped
4475  to any desired *user data SGPR register*, with the following regstrictions:
4476
4477  * Draw Index, Vertex Offset, and Instance Offset can only be used by the first
4478    activehardware stage in a graphics pipeline (i.e. where the API vertex
4479    shader runs).
4480
4481  * Application-controlled user data must be mapped into a contiguous range of
4482    user data registers.
4483
4484  * The application-controlled user data range supports compaction remapping, so
4485    only *entries* that are actually consumed by the shader must be assigned to
4486    corresponding *registers*. Note that in order to support an efficient runtime
4487    implementation, the remapping must pack *registers* in the same order as
4488    *entries*, with unused *entries* removed.
4489
4490.. _pal_global_internal_table:
4491
4492Global Internal Table
4493~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4494
4495The global internal table is a table of *shader resource descriptors* (SRDs) that
4496define how certain engine-wide, runtime-managed resources should be accessed
4497from a shader. The majority of these resources have HW-defined formats, and it
4498is up to the compiler to write/read data as required by the target hardware.
4499
4500The following table illustrates the required format:

4522     ============= ================================
4523
4524  The pointer to the global internal table passed to the shader as user data
4525  is a 32-bit pointer. The top 32 bits should be assumed to be the same as
4526  the top 32 bits of the pipeline, so the shader may use the program
4527  counter's top 32 bits.

4620An instruction has the following :doc:`syntax<AMDGPUInstructionSyntax>`:
4621
4622    ``<``\ *opcode*\ ``>    <``\ *operand0*\ ``>, <``\ *operand1*\ ``>,...    <``\ *modifier0*\ ``> <``\ *modifier1*\ ``>...``
4623
4624:doc:`Operands<AMDGPUOperandSyntax>` are normally comma-separated while
4625:doc:`modifiers<AMDGPUModifierSyntax>` are space-separated.
4626
4627The order of *operands* and *modifiers* is fixed.
4628Most *modifiers* are optional and may be omitted.

4773
4774For vector ALU instruction opcodes (VOP1, VOP2, VOP3, VOPC, VOP_DPP, VOP_SDWA),
4775the assembler will automatically use optimal encoding based on its operands.
4776To force specific encoding, one can add a suffix to the opcode of the instruction:
4777
4778* _e32 for 32-bit VOP1/VOP2/VOPC
4779* _e64 for 64-bit VOP3
4780* _dpp for VOP_DPP

4896one can specify them with assembler directives.
4897
4898.hsa_code_object_version major, minor
4899+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
4900
4901*major* and *minor* are integers that specify the version of the HSA code
4902object that will be generated by the assembler.
4903
4904.hsa_code_object_isa [major, minor, stepping, vendor, arch]
4905+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
4906
4907
4908*major*, *minor*, and *stepping* are all integers that describe the instruction
4909set architecture (ISA) version of the assembly program.
4910
4911*vendor* and *arch* are quoted strings.  *vendor* should always be equal to
4912"AMD" and *arch* should always be equal to "AMDGPU".
4913
4914By default, the assembler will derive the ISA version, *vendor*, and *arch*
4915from the value of the -mcpu option that is passed to the assembler.

4917.. _amdgpu-amdhsa-assembler-directive-amdgpu_hsa_kernel:
4918
4919.amdgpu_hsa_kernel (name)
4920+++++++++++++++++++++++++
4921
4922This directives specifies that the symbol with given name is a kernel entry point
4923(label) and the object should contain corresponding symbol of type STT_AMDGPU_HSA_KERNEL.
4924
4925.amd_kernel_code_t
4926++++++++++++++++++
4927
4928This directive marks the beginning of a list of key / value pairs that are used
4929to specify the amd_kernel_code_t object that will be emitted by the assembler.
4930The list must be terminated by the *.end_amd_kernel_code_t* directive.  For
4931any amd_kernel_code_t values that are unspecified a default value will be
4932used.  The default value for all keys is 0, with the following exceptions:
4933
4934- *kernel_code_version_major* defaults to 1.
4935- *machine_kind* defaults to 1.
4936- *machine_version_major*, *machine_version_minor*, and
4937  *machine_version_stepping* are derived from the value of the -mcpu option
4938  that is passed to the assembler.
4939- *kernel_code_entry_byte_offset* defaults to 256.
4940- *wavefront_size* defaults to 6.
4941- *kernarg_segment_alignment*, *group_segment_alignment*, and
4942  *private_segment_alignment* default to 4. Note that alignments are specified
4943  as a power of 2, so a value of **n** means an alignment of 2^ **n**.
4944
4945The *.amd_kernel_code_t* directive must be placed immediately after the
4946function label and before any instructions.
4947
4948For a full list of amd_kernel_code_t keys, refer to AMDGPU ABI document,

5060Code Object V3 Directives (-mattr=+code-object-v3)
5061~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5062
5063Directives which begin with ``.amdgcn`` are valid for all ``amdgcn``
5064architecture processors, and are not OS-specific. Directives which begin with
5065``.amdhsa`` are specific to ``amdgcn`` architecture processors when the
5066``amdhsa`` OS is specified. See :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples` and
5067:ref:`amdgpu-processors`.
5068
5069.amdgcn_target <target>
5070+++++++++++++++++++++++
5071
5072Optional directive which declares the target supported by the containing
5073assembler source file. Valid values are described in
5074:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-code-object-target-identification`. Used by the assembler
5075to validate command-line options such as ``-triple``, ``-mcpu``, and those
5076which specify target features.
5077
5078.amdhsa_kernel <name>
5079+++++++++++++++++++++
5080
5081Creates a correctly aligned AMDHSA kernel descriptor and a symbol,
5082``<name>.kd``, in the current location of the current section. Only valid when
5083the OS is ``amdhsa``. ``<name>`` must be a symbol that labels the first
5084instruction to execute, and does not need to be previously defined.
5085
5086Marks the beginning of a list of directives used to generate the bytes of a
5087kernel descriptor, as described in :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`.
5088Directives which may appear in this list are described in
5089:ref:`amdhsa-kernel-directives-table`. Directives may appear in any order, must
5090be valid for the target being assembled for, and cannot be repeated. Directives
5091support the range of values specified by the field they reference in
5092:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`. If a directive is not specified, it is
5093assumed to have its default value, unless it is marked as "Required", in which
5094case it is an error to omit the directive. This list of directives is
5095terminated by an ``.end_amdhsa_kernel`` directive.

5254If an assembly source file contains multiple kernels and/or functions, the
5255:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-assembler-symbol-next_free_vgpr` and
5256:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-assembler-symbol-next_free_sgpr` symbols may be reset using
5257the ``.set <symbol>, <expression>`` directive. For example, in the case of two
5258kernels, where ``function1`` is only called from ``kernel1`` it is sufficient
5259to group the function with the kernel that calls it and reset the symbols
5260between the two connected components:
5261
5262.. code-block:: none
5263
5264  .amdgcn_target "amdgcn-amd-amdhsa--gfx900+xnack" // optional

5323These symbols cannot identify connected components in order to automatically
5324track the usage for each kernel. However, in some cases careful organization of
5325the kernels and functions in the source file means there is minimal additional
5326effort required to accurately calculate GPR usage.
