[mlir][AMDGPU] Plumb address space 7 through MLIR, add address_space attr. (#125594) This commit adds support for casting memrefs into fat raw buffer pointers to the AMDGPU dialect. Fat raw buffer pointers - or, in LLVM terms, ptr addrspcae(7), allow encapsulating a buffer descriptor (as produced by the make.buffer.rsrc intrinsic or provided from some API) into a pointer that supports ordinary pointer operations like load or store. This allows people to take advantage of the additional semantics that buffer_load and similar instructions provide without forcing the use of entirely separate amdgpu.raw_buffer_* operations. Operations on fat raw buffer pointers are translated to the corresponding LLVM intrinsics by the backend. This commit also goes and and defines a #amdgpu.address_space<> attribute so that AMDGPU-specific memory spaces can be represented. Only #amdgpu.address_space<fat_raw_buffer> will work correctly with the memref dialect, but the other possible address spaces are included for completeness. --------- Co-authored-by: Jakub Kuderski <kubakuderski@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Prashant Kumar <pk5561@gmail.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.
