Fraser Cormack 7441e87fe0 [libclc] Move several integer functions to CLC library (#116786)
This commit moves over the OpenCL clz, hadd, mad24, mad_hi, mul24,
mul_hi, popcount, rhadd, and upsample builtins to the CLC library.

This commit also optimizes the vector forms of the mul_hi and upsample
builtins to consistently remain in vector types, instead of recursively
splitting vectors down to the scalar form.

The OpenCL mad_hi builtin wasn't previously publicly available from the
CLC libraries, as it was hash-defined to mul_hi in the header files.
That issue has been fixed, and mad_hi is now exposed.

The custom AMD implementation/workaround for popcount has been removed
as it was only required for clang < 7.

There are still two integer functions which haven't been moved over. The
OpenCL mad_sat builtin uses many of the other integer builtins, and
would benefit from optimization for vector types. That can take place in
a follow-up commit. The rotate builtin could similarly use some more
dedicated focus, potentially using clang builtins.

libclc

libclc is an open source implementation of the library requirements of the OpenCL C programming language, as specified by the OpenCL 1.1 Specification. The following sections of the specification impose library requirements:

  • 6.1: Supported Data Types
  • 6.2.3: Explicit Conversions
  • 6.2.4.2: Reinterpreting Types Using as_type() and as_typen()
  • 6.9: Preprocessor Directives and Macros
  • 6.11: Built-in Functions
  • 9.3: Double Precision Floating-Point
  • 9.4: 64-bit Atomics
  • 9.5: Writing to 3D image memory objects
  • 9.6: Half Precision Floating-Point

libclc is intended to be used with the Clang compiler's OpenCL frontend.

libclc is designed to be portable and extensible. To this end, it provides generic implementations of most library requirements, allowing the target to override the generic implementation at the granularity of individual functions.

libclc currently supports PTX, AMDGPU, SPIRV and CLSPV targets, but support for more targets is welcome.

Compiling and installing

(in the following instructions you can use make or ninja)

For an in-tree build, Clang must also be built at the same time:

$ cmake <path-to>/llvm-project/llvm/CMakeLists.txt -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="libclc;clang" \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G Ninja
$ ninja

Then install:

$ ninja install

Note you can use the DESTDIR Makefile variable to do staged installs.

$ DESTDIR=/path/for/staged/install ninja install

To build out of tree, or in other words, against an existing LLVM build or install:

$ cmake <path-to>/llvm-project/libclc/CMakeLists.txt -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
  -G Ninja -DLLVM_DIR=$(<path-to>/llvm-config --cmakedir)
$ ninja

Then install as before.

In both cases this will include all supported targets. You can choose which targets are enabled by passing -DLIBCLC_TARGETS_TO_BUILD to CMake. The default is all.

In both cases, the LLVM used must include the targets you want libclc support for (AMDGPU and NVPTX are enabled in LLVM by default). Apart from SPIRV where you do not need an LLVM target but you do need the llvm-spirv tool available. Either build this in-tree, or place it in the directory pointed to by LLVM_TOOLS_BINARY_DIR.
