Pointers to kernel // arguments can't be converted to generic address space. // // Device function parameters are directly accessible via // ld.param/st.param, but taking the address of one returns a pointer // to a copy created in local space which *can't* be used with // ld.param/st.param. // // Copying a byval struct into local memory in IR allows us to enforce // the param space restrictions, gives the rest of IR a pointer w/o // param space restrictions, and gives us an opportunity to eliminate // the copy. // // Pointer arguments to kernel functions need more work to be lowered: // // 1. Convert non-byval pointer arguments of CUDA kernels to pointers in the // global address space. This allows later optimizations to emit // ld.global.*/st.global.* for accessing these pointer arguments. For // example, // // define void @foo(float* %input) { // %v = load float, float* %input, align 4 // ... // } // // becomes // // define void @foo(float* %input) { // %input2 = addrspacecast float* %input to float addrspace(1)* // %input3 = addrspacecast float addrspace(1)* %input2 to float* // %v = load float, float* %input3, align 4 // ... // } // // Later, NVPTXInferAddressSpaces will optimize it to // // define void @foo(float* %input) { // %input2 = addrspacecast float* %input to float addrspace(1)* // %v = load float, float addrspace(1)* %input2, align 4 // ... // } // // 2. Convert pointers in a byval kernel parameter to pointers in the global // address space. As #2, it allows NVPTX to emit more ld/st.global. E.g., // // struct S { // int *x; // int *y; // }; // __global__ void foo(S s) { // int *b = s.y; // // use b // } // // "b" points to the global address space. In the IR level, // // define void @foo({i32*, i32*}* byval %input) { // %b_ptr = getelementptr {i32*, i32*}, {i32*, i32*}* %input, i64 0, i32 1 // %b = load i32*, i32** %b_ptr // ; use %b // } // // becomes // // define void @foo({i32*, i32*}* byval %input) { // %b_ptr = getelementptr {i32*, i32*}, {i32*, i32*}* %input, i64 0, i32 1 // %b = load i32*, i32** %b_ptr // %b_global = addrspacecast i32* %b to i32 addrspace(1)* // %b_generic = addrspacecast i32 addrspace(1)* %b_global to i32* // ; use %b_generic // } // // TODO: merge this pass with NVPTXInferAddressSpaces so that other passes don't // cancel the addrspacecast pair this pass emits. //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// #include "NVPTX.h" #include "NVPTXTargetMachine.h" #include "NVPTXUtilities.h" #include "MCTargetDesc/NVPTXBaseInfo.h" #include "llvm/Analysis/ValueTracking.h" #include "llvm/IR/Function.h" #include "llvm/IR/Instructions.h" #include "llvm/IR/Module.h" #include "llvm/IR/Type.h" #include "llvm/Pass.h" #define DEBUG_TYPE "nvptx-lower-args" using namespace llvm; namespace llvm { void initializeNVPTXLowerArgsPass(PassRegistry &); } namespace { class NVPTXLowerArgs : public FunctionPass { bool runOnFunction(Function &F) override; bool runOnKernelFunction(Function &F); bool runOnDeviceFunction(Function &F); // handle byval parameters void handleByValParam(Argument *Arg); // Knowing Ptr must point to the global address space, this function // addrspacecasts Ptr to global and then back to generic.
