253Memory Scopes
254-------------
255
256This section provides LLVM memory synchronization scopes supported by the AMDGPU
257backend memory model when the target triple OS is ``amdhsa`` (see
258:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model` and :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`).
259
260The memory model supported is based on the HSA memory model [HSA]_ which is
261based in turn on HRF-indirect with scope inclusion [HRF]_. The happens-before
262relation is transitive over the synchonizes-with relation independent of scope,
263and synchonizes-with allows the memory scope instances to be inclusive (see
264table :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-llvm-sync-scopes-amdhsa-table`).
265
266This is different to the OpenCL [OpenCL]_ memory model which does not have scope
267inclusion and requires the memory scopes to exactly match. However, this
268is conservatively correct for OpenCL.

380
381``e_ident[EI_CLASS]``
382  The ELF class is always ``ELFCLASS64``. The AMDGPU backend only supports 64 bit
383  applications.
384
385``e_ident[EI_DATA]``
386  All AMDGPU targets use ELFDATA2LSB for little-endian byte ordering.
387
388``e_ident[EI_OSABI]``
389  The AMD GPU architecture specific OS ABI of ``ELFOSABI_AMDGPU_HSA`` is used to
390  specify that the code object conforms to the AMD HSA runtime ABI [HSA]_.
391
392``e_ident[EI_ABIVERSION]``
393  The AMD GPU architecture specific OS ABI version of
394  ``ELFABIVERSION_AMDGPU_HSA`` is used to specify the version of AMD HSA runtime
395  ABI to which the code object conforms.
396
397``e_type``
398  Can be one of the following values:
399
400
401  ``ET_REL``
402    The type produced by the AMD GPU backend compiler as it is relocatable code
403    object.
404
405  ``ET_DYN``
406    The type produced by the linker as it is a shared code object.
407
408  The AMD HSA runtime loader requires a ``ET_DYN`` code object.
409
410``e_machine``
411  The value ``EM_AMDGPU`` is used for the machine for all members of the AMD GPU
412  architecture family. The specific member is specified in the
413  ``NT_AMD_AMDGPU_ISA`` entry in the ``.note`` section (see
414  :ref:`amdgpu-note-records`).
415
416``e_entry``
417  The entry point is 0 as the entry points for individual kernels must be
418  selected in order to invoke them through AQL packets.
419
420``e_flags``
421  The value is 0 as no flags are used.

484Note Records
485------------
486
487As required by ``ELFCLASS64``, minimal zero byte padding must be generated after
488the ``name`` field to ensure the ``desc`` field is 4 byte aligned. In addition,
489minimal zero byte padding must be generated to ensure the ``desc`` field size is
490a multiple of 4 bytes. The ``sh_addralign`` field of the ``.note`` section must
491be at least 4 to indicate at least 8 byte alignment.
492
493The AMDGPU backend code object uses the following ELF note records in the
494``.note`` section. The *Description* column specifies the layout of the note
495record’s ``desc`` field. All fields are consecutive bytes. Note records with
496variable size strings have a corresponding ``*_size`` field that specifies the
497number of bytes, including the terminating null character, in the string. The
498string(s) come immediately after the preceding fields.

528
529  This note record is required for code objects containing machine code for
530  processors matching the ``amdgcn`` architecture in table
531  :ref:`amdgpu-processors`.

538
539    *architecture*
540      The architecture from table :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples-table`.
541

543      :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples`).
544
545    *vendor*
546      The vendor from table :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples-table`.
547
548      For the AMDGPU backend this is always ``amd``.
549

554      An environment from table :ref:`amdgpu-target-triples-table`, or blank if
555      the environment has no affect on the execution of the code object.
556
557      For the AMDGPU backend this is currently always blank.
558    *processor*
559      The processor from table :ref:`amdgpu-processors-table`.

562
563    ``amdgcn-amd-amdhsa--gfx901``
564
565``NT_AMD_AMDGPU_METADATA``
566  Specifies extensible metadata associated with the code object. See
567  :ref:`amdgpu-code-object-metadata` for the syntax of the code object metadata
568  string.
569
570  This note record is required and must contain the minimum information
571  necessary to support the ROCM kernel queries. For example, the segment sizes
572  needed in a dispatch packet. In addition, a high level language runtime may
573  require other information to be included. For example, the AMD OpenCL runtime
574  records kernel argument information.

1055Relocation Records
1056------------------
1057
1058AMDGPU backend generates ``Elf64_Rela`` relocation records. Supported
1059relocatable fields are:
1060
1061``word32``
1062  This specifies a 32-bit field occupying 4 bytes with arbitrary byte
1063  alignment. These values use the same byte order as other word values in the
1064  AMD GPU architecture.
1065
1066``word64``
1067  This specifies a 64-bit field occupying 8 bytes with arbitrary byte
1068  alignment. These values use the same byte order as other word values in the
1069  AMD GPU architecture.
1070
1071Following notations are used for specifying relocation calculations:
1072
1073**A**
1074  Represents the addend used to compute the value of the relocatable field.
1075
1076**G**
1077  Represents the offset into the global offset table at which the relocation
1078  entry’s symbol will reside during execution.
1079
1080**GOT**
1081  Represents the address of the global offset table.
1082
1083**P**
1084  Represents the place (section offset for ``et_rel`` or address for ``et_dyn``)
1085  of the storage unit being relocated (computed using ``r_offset``).
1086
1087**S**
1088  Represents the value of the symbol whose index resides in the relocation
1089  entry.

1163   (akin to XDREF) to select the current lane usage in a location
1164   expression. This would also allow scalar register spilling to vector register
1165   lanes to be expressed (currently no debug information is being generated for
1166   spilling). If choose a wide single register approach then use LANE in

1189
1190Kernel Dispatch
1191~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1192
1193The HSA architected queuing language (AQL) defines a user space memory interface
1194that can be used to control the dispatch of kernels, in an agent independent
1195way. An agent can have zero or more AQL queues created for it using the ROCm
1196runtime, in which AQL packets (all of which are 64 bytes) can be placed. See the
1197*HSA Platform System Architecture Specification* [HSA]_ for the AQL queue
1198mechanics and packet layouts.
1199
1200The packet processor of a kernel agent is responsible for detecting and
1201dispatching HSA kernels from the AQL queues associated with it. For AMD GPUs the
1202packet processor is implemented by the hardware command processor (CP),
1203asynchronous dispatch controller (ADC) and shader processor input controller
1204(SPI).
1205
1206The ROCm runtime can be used to allocate an AQL queue object. It uses the kernel
1207mode driver to initialize and register the AQL queue with CP.
1208
1209To dispatch a kernel the following actions are performed. This can occur in the
1210CPU host program, or from an HSA kernel executing on a GPU.
1211
12121. A pointer to an AQL queue for the kernel agent on which the kernel is to be
1213   executed is obtained.
12142. A pointer to the kernel descriptor (see
1215   :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`) of the kernel to execute is
1216   obtained. It must be for a kernel that is contained in a code object that that
1217   was loaded by the ROCm runtime on the kernel agent with which the AQL queue is
1218   associated.
12193. Space is allocated for the kernel arguments using the ROCm runtime allocator
1220   for a memory region with the kernarg property for the kernel agent that will
1221   execute the kernel. It must be at least 16 byte aligned.
12224. Kernel argument values are assigned to the kernel argument memory
1223   allocation. The layout is defined in the *HSA Programmer’s Language Reference*
1224   [HSA]_. For AMDGPU the kernel execution directly accesses the kernel argument
1225   memory in the same way constant memory is accessed. (Note that the HSA
1226   specification allows an implementation to copy the kernel argument contents to
1227   another location that is accessed by the kernel.)
12285. An AQL kernel dispatch packet is created on the AQL queue. The ROCm runtime
1229   api uses 64 bit atomic operations to reserve space in the AQL queue for the
1230   packet. The packet must be set up, and the final write must use an atomic
1231   store release to set the packet kind to ensure the packet contents are
1232   visible to the kernel agent. AQL defines a doorbell signal mechanism to
1233   notify the kernel agent that the AQL queue has been updated. These rules, and
1234   the layout of the AQL queue and kernel dispatch packet is defined in the *HSA
1235   System Architecture Specification* [HSA]_.
12366. A kernel dispatch packet includes information about the actual dispatch,
1237   such as grid and work-group size, together with information from the code
1238   object about the kernel, such as segment sizes. The ROCm runtime queries on
1239   the kernel symbol can be used to obtain the code object values which are
1240   recorded in the :ref:`amdgpu-code-object-metadata`.
12417. CP executes micro-code and is responsible for detecting and setting up the
1242   GPU to execute the wavefronts of a kernel dispatch.
12438. CP ensures that when the a wavefront starts executing the kernel machine
1244   code, the scalar general purpose registers (SGPR) and vector general purpose
1245   registers (VGPR) are set up as required by the machine code. The required
1246   setup is defined in the :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`. The initial
1247   register state is defined in
1248   :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`.
12499. The prolog of the kernel machine code (see
1250   :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-prolog`) sets up the machine state as necessary
1251   before continuing executing the machine code that corresponds to the kernel.
125210. When the kernel dispatch has completed execution, CP signals the completion
1253    signal specified in the kernel dispatch packet if not 0.

1277     ================= =========== ======== ======= ==================
1278
1279The global and constant memory spaces both use global virtual addresses, which
1280are the same virtual address space used by the CPU. However, some virtual
1281addresses may only be accessible to the CPU, some only accessible by the GPU,
1282and some by both.
1283
1284Using the constant memory space indicates that the data will not change during
1285the execution of the kernel. This allows scalar read instructions to be
1286used. The vector and scalar L1 caches are invalidated of volatile data before
1287each kernel dispatch execution to allow constant memory to change values between
1288kernel dispatches.
1289
1290The local memory space uses the hardware Local Data Store (LDS) which is
1291automatically allocated when the hardware creates work-groups of wavefronts, and
1292freed when all the wavefronts of a work-group have terminated. The data store
1293(DS) instructions can be used to access it.
1294
1295The private memory space uses the hardware scratch memory support. If the kernel
1296uses scratch, then the hardware allocates memory that is accessed using
1297wavefront lane dword (4 byte) interleaving. The mapping used from private
1298address to physical address is:
1299
1300  ``wavefront-scratch-base +
1301  (private-address * wavefront-size * 4) +
1302  (wavefront-lane-id * 4)``
1303
1304There are different ways that the wavefront scratch base address is determined
1305by a wavefront (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`). This
1306memory can be accessed in an interleaved manner using buffer instruction with
1307the scratch buffer descriptor and per wave scratch offset, by the scratch
1308instructions, or by flat instructions. If each lane of a wavefront accesses the
1309same private address, the interleaving results in adjacent dwords being accessed
1310and hence requires fewer cache lines to be fetched. Multi-dword access is not
1311supported except by flat and scratch instructions in GFX9.
1312
1313The generic address space uses the hardware flat address support available in
1314GFX7-GFX9. This uses two fixed ranges of virtual addresses (the private and
1315local appertures), that are outside the range of addressible global memory, to
1316map from a flat address to a private or local address.
1317
1318FLAT instructions can take a flat address and access global, private (scratch)
1319and group (LDS) memory depending in if the address is within one of the
1320apperture ranges. Flat access to scratch requires hardware aperture setup and
1321setup in the kernel prologue (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-flat-scratch`). Flat
1322access to LDS requires hardware aperture setup and M0 (GFX7-GFX8) register setup
1323(see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-m0`).
1324
1325To convert between a segment address and a flat address the base address of the
1326appertures address can be used. For GFX7-GFX8 these are available in the
1327:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-hsa-aql-queue` the address of which can be obtained with
1328Queue Ptr SGPR (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`). For
1329GFX9 the appature base addresses are directly available as inline constant
1330registers ``SRC_SHARED_BASE/LIMIT`` and ``SRC_PRIVATE_BASE/LIMIT``. In 64 bit
1331address mode the apperture sizes are 2^32 bytes and the base is aligned to 2^32
1332which makes it easier to convert from flat to segment or segment to flat.

1334HSA Image and Samplers
1335~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1336
1337Image and sample handles created by the ROCm runtime are 64 bit addresses of a
1338hardware 32 byte V# and 48 byte S# object respectively. In order to support the
1339HSA ``query_sampler`` operations two extra dwords are used to store the HSA BRIG
1340enumeration values for the queries that are not trivially deducible from the S#
1341representation.
1342
1343HSA Signals
1344~~~~~~~~~~~
1345
1346Signal handles created by the ROCm runtime are 64 bit addresses of a structure
1347allocated in memory accessible from both the CPU and GPU. The structure is
1348defined by the ROCm runtime and subject to change between releases (see
1349[AMD-ROCm-github]_).

1352
1353HSA AQL Queue
1354~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1355
1356The AQL queue structure is defined by the ROCm runtime and subject to change
1357between releases (see [AMD-ROCm-github]_). For some processors it contains
1358fields needed to implement certain language features such as the flat address
1359aperture bases. It also contains fields used by CP such as managing the
1360allocation of scratch memory.

1364Kernel Descriptor
1365~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1366
1367A kernel descriptor consists of the information needed by CP to initiate the
1368execution of a kernel, including the entry point address of the machine code
1369that implements the kernel.

1833Initial Kernel Execution State
1834~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1835
1836This section defines the register state that will be set up by the packet
1837processor prior to the start of execution of every wavefront. This is limited by
1838the constraints of the hardware controllers of CP/ADC/SPI.
1839
1840The order of the SGPR registers is defined, but the compiler can specify which
1841ones are actually setup in the kernel descriptor using the ``enable_sgpr_*`` bit
1842fields (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`). The register numbers used
1843for enabled registers are dense starting at SGPR0: the first enabled register is
1844SGPR0, the next enabled register is SGPR1 etc.; disabled registers do not have
1845an SGPR number.
1846
1847The initial SGPRs comprise up to 16 User SRGPs that are set by CP and apply to
1848all waves of the grid. It is possible to specify more than 16 User SGPRs using
1849the ``enable_sgpr_*`` bit fields, in which case only the first 16 are actually
1850initialized. These are then immediately followed by the System SGPRs that are
1851set up by ADC/SPI and can have different values for each wave of the grid
1852dispatch.
1853
1854SGPR register initial state is defined in
1855:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-sgpr-register-set-up-order-table`.

1906                                                    This is the same offset used

2025The order of the VGPR registers is defined, but the compiler can specify which
2026ones are actually setup in the kernel descriptor using the ``enable_vgpr*`` bit
2027fields (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-kernel-descriptor`). The register numbers used
2028for enabled registers are dense starting at VGPR0: the first enabled register is
2029VGPR0, the next enabled register is VGPR1 etc.; disabled registers do not have a

2053
2054The setting of registers is is done by GPU CP/ADC/SPI hardware as follows:
2055
20561. SGPRs before the Work-Group Ids are set by CP using the 16 User Data
2057   registers.
20582. Work-group Id registers X, Y, Z are set by ADC which supports any
2059   combination including none.
20603. Scratch Wave Offset is set by SPI in a per wave basis which is why its value
2061   cannot included with the flat scratch init value which is per queue.
20624. The VGPRs are set by SPI which only supports specifying either (X), (X, Y)
2063   or (X, Y, Z).
2064
2065Flat Scratch register pair are adjacent SGRRs so they can be moved as a 64 bit
2066value to the hardware required SGPRn-3 and SGPRn-4 respectively.
2067
2068The global segment can be accessed either using buffer instructions (GFX6 which
2069has V# 64 bit address support), flat instructions (GFX7-9), or global
2070instructions (GFX9).
2071
2072If buffer operations are used then the compiler can generate a V# with the
2073following properties:
2074
2075* base address of 0
2076* no swizzle
2077* ATC: 1 if IOMMU present (such as APU)
2078* ptr64: 1
2079* MTYPE set to support memory coherence that matches the runtime (such as CC for
2080  APU and NC for dGPU).

2093  The M0 register must be initialized with a value at least the total LDS size
2094  if the kernel may access LDS via DS or flat operations. Total LDS size is
2095  available in dispatch packet. For M0, it is also possible to use maximum
2096  possible value of LDS for given target (0x7FFF for GFX6 and 0xFFFF for
2097  GFX7-GFX8).

2107If the kernel may use flat operations to access scratch memory, the prolog code
2108must set up FLAT_SCRATCH register pair (FLAT_SCRATCH_LO/FLAT_SCRATCH_HI which
2109are in SGPRn-4/SGPRn-3). Initialization uses Flat Scratch Init and Scratch Wave
2110Offset SGPR registers (see :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-initial-kernel-execution-state`):

2113  Flat scratch is not supported.
2114
2115GFX7-8
2116  1. The low word of Flat Scratch Init is 32 bit byte offset from
2117     ``SH_HIDDEN_PRIVATE_BASE_VIMID`` to the base of scratch backing memory
2118     being managed by SPI for the queue executing the kernel dispatch. This is
2119     the same value used in the Scratch Segment Buffer V# base address. The
2120     prolog must add the value of Scratch Wave Offset to get the wave's byte
2121     scratch backing memory offset from ``SH_HIDDEN_PRIVATE_BASE_VIMID``. Since
2122     FLAT_SCRATCH_LO is in units of 256 bytes, the offset must be right shifted
2123     by 8 before moving into FLAT_SCRATCH_LO.
2124  2. The second word of Flat Scratch Init is 32 bit byte size of a single
2125     work-items scratch memory usage. This is directly loaded from the kernel
2126     dispatch packet Private Segment Byte Size and rounded up to a multiple of
2127     DWORD. Having CP load it once avoids loading it at the beginning of every
2128     wavefront. The prolog must move it to FLAT_SCRATCH_LO for use as FLAT SCRATCH
2129     SIZE.
2130GFX9
2131  The Flat Scratch Init is the 64 bit address of the base of scratch backing
2132  memory being managed by SPI for the queue executing the kernel dispatch. The
2133  prolog must add the value of Scratch Wave Offset and moved to the FLAT_SCRATCH
2134  pair for use as the flat scratch base in flat memory instructions.

2137
2138Memory Model
2139~~~~~~~~~~~~
2140
2141This section describes the mapping of LLVM memory model onto AMDGPU machine code
2142(see :ref:`memmodel`). *The implementation is WIP.*
2143
2144.. TODO
2145   Update when implementation complete.
2146
2147   Support more relaxed OpenCL memory model to be controlled by environment
2148   component of target triple.
2149
2150The AMDGPU backend supports the memory synchronization scopes specified in
2151:ref:`amdgpu-memory-scopes`.
2152
2153The code sequences used to implement the memory model are defined in table
2154:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-model-code-sequences-gfx6-gfx9-table`.
2155
2156The sequences specify the order of instructions that a single thread must
2157execute. The ``s_waitcnt`` and ``buffer_wbinvl1_vol`` are defined with respect
2158to other memory instructions executed by the same thread. This allows them to be
2159moved earlier or later which can allow them to be combined with other instances
2160of the same instruction, or hoisted/sunk out of loops to improve
2161performance. Only the instructions related to the memory model are given;
2162additional ``s_waitcnt`` instructions are required to ensure registers are
2163defined before being used. These may be able to be combined with the memory
2164model ``s_waitcnt`` instructions as described above.
2165
2166The AMDGPU memory model supports both the HSA [HSA]_ memory model, and the
2167OpenCL [OpenCL]_ memory model. The HSA memory model uses a single happens-before
2168relation for all address spaces (see :ref:`amdgpu-address-spaces`). The OpenCL
2169memory model which has separate happens-before relations for the global and
2170local address spaces, and only a fence specifying both global and local address
2171space joins the relationships. Since the LLVM ``memfence`` instruction does not
2172allow an address space to be specified the OpenCL fence has to convervatively
2173assume both local and global address space was specified. However, optimizations
2174can often be done to eliminate the additional ``s_waitcnt``instructions when
2175there are no intervening corresponding ``ds/flat_load/store/atomic`` memory
2176instructions. The code sequences in the table indicate what can be omitted for
2177the OpenCL memory. The target triple environment is used to determine if the
2178source language is OpenCL (see :ref:`amdgpu-opencl`).
2179
2180``ds/flat_load/store/atomic`` instructions to local memory are termed LDS
2181operations.
2182
2183``buffer/global/flat_load/store/atomic`` instructions to global memory are
2184termed vector memory operations.
2185
2186For GFX6-GFX9:
2187
2188* Each agent has multiple compute units (CU).
2189* Each CU has multiple SIMDs that execute wavefronts.
2190* The wavefronts for a single work-group are executed in the same CU but may be
2191  executed by different SIMDs.
2192* Each CU has a single LDS memory shared by the wavefronts of the work-groups
2193  executing on it.
2194* All LDS operations of a CU are performed as wavefront wide operations in a
2195  global order and involve no caching. Completion is reported to a wavefront in
2196  execution order.
2197* The LDS memory has multiple request queues shared by the SIMDs of a
2198  CU. Therefore, the LDS operations performed by different waves of a work-group
2199  can be reordered relative to each other, which can result in reordering the
2200  visibility of vector memory operations with respect to LDS operations of other
2201  wavefronts in the same work-group. A ``s_waitcnt lgkmcnt(0)`` is required to
2202  ensure synchronization between LDS operations and vector memory operations
2203  between waves of a work-group, but not between operations performed by the
2204  same wavefront.
2205* The vector memory operations are performed as wavefront wide operations and
2206  completion is reported to a wavefront in execution order. The exception is
2207  that for GFX7-9 ``flat_load/store/atomic`` instructions can report out of
2208  vector memory order if they access LDS memory, and out of LDS operation order
2209  if they access global memory.
2210* The vector memory operations access a vector L1 cache shared by all wavefronts
2211  on a CU. Therefore, no special action is required for coherence between
2212  wavefronts in the same work-group. A ``buffer_wbinvl1_vol`` is required for
2213  coherence between waves executing in different work-groups as they may be
2214  executing on different CUs.
2215* The scalar memory operations access a scalar L1 cache shared by all wavefronts
2216  on a group of CUs. The scalar and vector L1 caches are not coherent. However,
2217  scalar operations are used in a restricted way so do not impact the memory
2218  model. See :ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-spaces`.
2219* The vector and scalar memory operations use an L2 cache shared by all CUs on
2220  the same agent.
2221* The L2 cache has independent channels to service disjoint ranges of virtual
2222  addresses.
2223* Each CU has a separate request queue per channel. Therefore, the vector and
2224  scalar memory operations performed by waves executing in different work-groups
2225  (which may be executing on different CUs) of an agent can be reordered
2226  relative to each other. A ``s_waitcnt vmcnt(0)`` is required to ensure
2227  synchronization between vector memory operations of different CUs. It ensures a
2228  previous vector memory operation has completed before executing a subsequent
2229  vector memory or LDS operation and so can be used to meet the requirements of
2230  acquire and release.
2231* The L2 cache can be kept coherent with other agents on some targets, or ranges
2232  of virtual addresses can be set up to bypass it to ensure system coherence.
2233
2234Private address space uses ``buffer_load/store`` using the scratch V# (GFX6-8),
2235or ``scratch_load/store`` (GFX9). Since only a single thread is accessing the
2236memory, atomic memory orderings are not meaningful and all accesses are treated
2237as non-atomic.
2238
2239Constant address space uses ``buffer/global_load`` instructions (or equivalent
2240scalar memory instructions). Since the constant address space contents do not
2241change during the execution of a kernel dispatch it is not legal to perform
2242stores, and atomic memory orderings are not meaningful and all access are
2243treated as non-atomic.
2244
2245A memory synchronization scope wider than work-group is not meaningful for the
2246group (LDS) address space and is treated as work-group.
2247
2248The memory model does not support the region address space which is treated as
2249non-atomic.
2250
2251Acquire memory ordering is not meaningful on store atomic instructions and is
2252treated as non-atomic.
2253
2254Release memory ordering is not meaningful on load atomic instructions and is
2255treated a non-atomic.
2256
2257Acquire-release memory ordering is not meaningful on load or store atomic
2258instructions and is treated as acquire and release respectively.
2259
2260AMDGPU backend only uses scalar memory operations to access memory that is
2261proven to not change during the execution of the kernel dispatch. This includes
2262constant address space and global address space for program scope const
2263variables. Therefore the kernel machine code does not have to maintain the
2264scalar L1 cache to ensure it is coherent with the vector L1 cache. The scalar
2265and vector L1 caches are invalidated between kernel dispatches by CP since
2266constant address space data may change between kernel dispatch executions. See
2267:ref:`amdgpu-amdhsa-memory-spaces`.
2268
2269The one execption is if scalar writes are used to spill SGPR registers. In this
2270case the AMDGPU backend ensures the memory location used to spill is never
2271accessed by vector memory operations at the same time. If scalar writes are used
2272then a ``s_dcache_wb`` is inserted before the ``s_endpgm`` and before a function
2273return since the locations may be used for vector memory instructions by a
2274future wave that uses the same scratch area, or a function call that creates a
2275frame at the same address, respectively. There is no need for a ``s_dcache_inv``
2276as all scalar writes are write-before-read in the same thread.
2277
2278Scratch backing memory (which is used for the private address space) is accessed
2279with MTYPE NC_NV (non-coherenent non-volatile). Since the private address space
2280is only accessed by a single thread, and is always write-before-read,
2281there is never a need to invalidate these entries from the L1 cache. Hence all
2282cache invalidates are done as ``*_vol`` to only invalidate the volatile cache
2283lines.
2284
2285On dGPU the kernarg backing memory is accessed as UC (uncached) to avoid needing
2286to invalidate the L2 cache. This also causes it to be treated as non-volatile
2287and so is not invalidated by ``*_vol``. On APU it is accessed as CC (cache
2288coherent) and so the L2 cache will coherent with the CPU and other agents.

3419Assembler
3420---------
3421
3422AMDGPU backend has LLVM-MC based assembler which is currently in development.
3423It supports AMDGCN GFX6-GFX8.
3424
3425This section describes general syntax for instructions and operands. For more
3426information about instructions, their semantics and supported combinations of
3427operands, refer to one of instruction set architecture manuals
3428[AMD-Souther-Islands]_ [AMD-Sea-Islands]_ [AMD-Volcanic-Islands]_.
3429
3430An instruction has the following syntax (register operands are normally
3431comma-separated while extra operands are space-separated):
3432
3433*<opcode> <register_operand0>, ... <extra_operand0> ...*
3434
3435Operands
3436~~~~~~~~
3437
3438The following syntax for register operands is supported:
3439
3440* SGPR registers: s0, ... or s[0], ...
3441* VGPR registers: v0, ... or v[0], ...
3442* TTMP registers: ttmp0, ... or ttmp[0], ...
3443* Special registers: exec (exec_lo, exec_hi), vcc (vcc_lo, vcc_hi), flat_scratch (flat_scratch_lo, flat_scratch_hi)
3444* Special trap registers: tba (tba_lo, tba_hi), tma (tma_lo, tma_hi)
3445* Register pairs, quads, etc: s[2:3], v[10:11], ttmp[5:6], s[4:7], v[12:15], ttmp[4:7], s[8:15], ...
3446* Register lists: [s0, s1], [ttmp0, ttmp1, ttmp2, ttmp3]
3447* Register index expressions: v[2*2], s[1-1:2-1]
3448* 'off' indicates that an operand is not enabled
3449
3450The following extra operands are supported:
3451
3452* offset, offset0, offset1

3597
3598For vector ALU instruction opcodes (VOP1, VOP2, VOP3, VOPC, VOP_DPP, VOP_SDWA),
3599the assembler will automatically use optimal encoding based on its operands.
3600To force specific encoding, one can add a suffix to the opcode of the instruction:
3601
3602* _e32 for 32-bit VOP1/VOP2/VOPC
3603* _e64 for 64-bit VOP3

3649HSA Code Object Directives
3650~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3651
3652AMDGPU ABI defines auxiliary data in output code object. In assembly source,
3653one can specify them with assembler directives.
3654
3655.hsa_code_object_version major, minor
3656+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
3657
3658*major* and *minor* are integers that specify the version of the HSA code
3659object that will be generated by the assembler.
3660
3661.hsa_code_object_isa [major, minor, stepping, vendor, arch]
3662+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
3663
3664
3665*major*, *minor*, and *stepping* are all integers that describe the instruction
3666set architecture (ISA) version of the assembly program.
3667
3668*vendor* and *arch* are quoted strings.  *vendor* should always be equal to
3669"AMD" and *arch* should always be equal to "AMDGPU".
3670
3671By default, the assembler will derive the ISA version, *vendor*, and *arch*
3672from the value of the -mcpu option that is passed to the assembler.
3673
3674.amdgpu_hsa_kernel (name)
3675+++++++++++++++++++++++++
3676
3677This directives specifies that the symbol with given name is a kernel entry point
3678(label) and the object should contain corresponding symbol of type STT_AMDGPU_HSA_KERNEL.
3679
3680.amd_kernel_code_t
3681++++++++++++++++++
3682
3683This directive marks the beginning of a list of key / value pairs that are used
3684to specify the amd_kernel_code_t object that will be emitted by the assembler.
3685The list must be terminated by the *.end_amd_kernel_code_t* directive.  For
3686any amd_kernel_code_t values that are unspecified a default value will be
3687used.  The default value for all keys is 0, with the following exceptions:
3688
3689- *kernel_code_version_major* defaults to 1.
3690- *machine_kind* defaults to 1.
3691- *machine_version_major*, *machine_version_minor*, and
3692  *machine_version_stepping* are derived from the value of the -mcpu option
3693  that is passed to the assembler.
3694- *kernel_code_entry_byte_offset* defaults to 256.
3695- *wavefront_size* defaults to 6.
3696- *kernarg_segment_alignment*, *group_segment_alignment*, and
3697  *private_segment_alignment* default to 4.  Note that alignments are specified
3698  as a power of two, so a value of **n** means an alignment of 2^ **n**.
3699
3700The *.amd_kernel_code_t* directive must be placed immediately after the
3701function label and before any instructions.
3702
3703For a full list of amd_kernel_code_t keys, refer to AMDGPU ABI document,
3704comments in lib/Target/AMDGPU/AmdKernelCodeT.h and test/CodeGen/AMDGPU/hsa.s.
