[AMDGPU][SIInsertWaitcnt] Implement Waitcnt Expansion for Profiling (#169345) Reference issue: https://github.com/ROCm/llvm-project/issues/67 This patch adds support for expanding s_waitcnt instructions into sequences with decreasing counter values, enabling PC-sampling profilers to identify which specific memory operation is causing a stall. This is controlled via: Clang flag: -mamdgpu-expand-waitcnt-profiling / -mno-amdgpu-expand-waitcnt-profiling Function attribute: "amdgpu-expand-waitcnt-profiling" When enabled, instead of emitting a single waitcnt, the pass generates a sequence that waits for each outstanding operation individually. For example, if there are 5 outstanding memory operations and the target is to wait until 2 remain: **Original**: s_waitcnt vmcnt(2) **Expanded**: s_waitcnt vmcnt(4) s_waitcnt vmcnt(3) s_waitcnt vmcnt(2) The expansion starts from (Outstanding - 1) down to the target value, since waitcnt(Outstanding) would be a no-op (the counter is already at that value). - Uses ScoreBrackets to determine the actual number of outstanding operations - Only expands when operations complete in-order - Skips expansion for mixed event types (e.g., LDS+SMEM on same counter) - Skips expansion for scalar memory (always out-of-order) Releated previous work for Reference - **PR**: llvm/llvm-project#79236 (related `-amdgpu-waitcnt-forcezero`) --------- Co-authored-by: Pierre van Houtryve <pierre.vanhoutryve@amd.com>
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.

The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
