[mlir][gpu] Add address space modifier to gpu.barrier (#177425) This is a takeover of PR ##110527 This commit adds an optional list of memory fences to gpu.barrier, allowing users to specify which memory scopes they wish to fence explicitly, while leaving the default semantics (which are equivalent to calling for a global and local fence by analogy to CUDA's __syncthreads) unchanged. The new expanded semantics are implemented for SPIR-V and for the AMDGPU backend. See also https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-add-memory-scope-to-gpu-barrier/81021/2?u=fmarno, where the default behavior of a gpu.barrier was hashed out (though note that the examples based on VMCNT are outdated for AMDGPU in that memory fences can now be annotated with the correct set of address spaces). This commit also deprecates amdgpu.lds_barrier for usecases that don't involve targeting a gfx908.

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.
For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.

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