[OpenMP][Clang] Use ATTACH map-type for list-items with base-pointers. by abhinavgaba · Pull Request #153683 · llvm/llvm-project (original) (raw)

This adds support for using ATTACH map-type for proper pointer-attachment when mapping list-items that have base-pointers.

For example, for the following:

int *p; #pragma omp target enter data map(p[1:10])

The following maps are now emitted by clang:

  (A)
  &p[0], &p[1], 10 * sizeof(p[1]), TO | FROM
  &p, &p[1], sizeof(p), ATTACH

Previously, the two possible maps emitted by clang were:

  (B)
  &p[0], &p[1], 10 * sizeof(p[1]), TO | FROM

  (C)
  &p, &p[1], 10 * sizeof(p[1]), TO | FROM | PTR_AND_OBJ

(B) does not perform any pointer attachment, while (C) also maps the
pointer p, both of which are incorrect.


With this change, we are using ATTACH-style maps, like (A), for cases where the expression has a base-pointer. For example:

int *p, **pp; S *ps, **pps; ... map(p[0]) ... map(p[10:20]) ... map(p) ... map(([20])p) ... map(ps->a) ... map(pps->p->a) ... map(pp[0][0]) ... map((pp + 10)[0])

Grouping of maps based on attach base-pointers

We also group mapping of clauses with the same base decl in the order of the increasing complexity of their base-pointers, e.g. for something like:

  S **spp;
  map(spp[0][0], spp[0][0].a), // attach-ptr: spp[0]
  map(spp[0]),                 // attach-ptr: spp
  map(spp),                    // attach-ptr: N/A

We first map spp, then spp[0] then spp[0][0] and spp[0][0].a.

This allows us to also group "struct" allocation based on their attach pointers. This resolves the issues of us always mapping everything from the beginning of the symbol spp. Each group is mapped independently, and at the same level, like spp[0][0] and its member spp[0][0].a, we still get map them together as part of the same contiguous struct spp[0][0]. This resolves issue #141042.

use_device_ptr/addr fixes

The handling of use_device_ptr/addr was updated to use the attach-ptr information, and works for many cases that were failing before. It has to be done as part of this series because otherwise, the switch from ptr_to_obj to attach-style mapping would have caused regressions in existing use_device_ptr/addr tests.

Handling of attach-pointers that are members of implicitly mapped structs:

struct S { int *p; void f1() { #pragma omp target map(p[0:1]) // Implicitly map this->p, to ensure // that the implicit map of this[:] does // not map the full struct printf("%p %p\n", &p, p); }

Why a large PR

While it's unfortunate that this PR has gotten large and difficult to review, the issue is that all the functional changes have to be made together, to prevent regressions from partially implemented changes.

For example, the changes to capturing were previously done separately (#145454), but they would still cause stability issues in absence of full attach-mapping. And attach-mapping needs those changes to be able to launch kernels.

We extracted the utilities and functions, like those for finding attach-ptrs, or comparing exprs, out as a separate NFC PR that doesn't call those functions, just adds them (#155625). Maybe the change that adds a new error message for use_device_addr on array-sections with non-var base-pointers could have been extracted out too (but that would have had to be a follow-up change in that case, and we would get comp-fails with this PR when the erroneous case was not caught/diagnosed).
