openacc: Middle-end worker-partitioning support
This patch implements worker-partitioning support in the middle end, by rewriting gimple. The OpenACC execution model requires that code can run in either "worker single" mode where only a single worker per gang is active, or "worker partitioned" mode, where multiple workers per gang are active. This means we need to do something equivalent to spawning additional workers when transitioning from worker-single to worker-partitioned mode. However, GPUs typically fix the number of threads of invoked kernels at launch time, so we need to do something with the "extra" threads when they are not wanted. The scheme used is to conditionalise each basic block that executes in "worker single" mode for worker 0 only. Conditional branches are handled specially so "idle" (non-0) workers follow along with worker 0. On transitioning to "worker partitioned" mode, any variables modified by worker 0 are propagated to the other workers via GPU shared memory. Special care is taken for routine calls, writes through pointers, and so forth, as follows: - There are two types of function calls to consider in worker-single mode: "normal" calls to maths library routines, etc. are called from worker 0 only. OpenACC routines may contain worker-partitioned loops themselves, so are called from all workers, including "idle" ones. - SSA names set in worker-single mode, but used in worker-partitioned mode, are copied to shared memory in worker 0. Other workers retrieve the value from the appropriate shared-memory location after a barrier, and new phi nodes are introduced at the convergence point to resolve the worker 0/other worker copies of the value. - Local scalar variables (on the stack) also need special handling. We broadcast any variables that are written in the current worker-single block, and that are read in any worker-partitioned block. (This is believed to be safe, and is flow-insensitive to ease analysis.) - Local aggregates (arrays and composites) on the stack are *not* broadcast. Instead we force gimple stmts modifying elements/fields of local aggregates into fully-partitioned mode. The RHS of the assignment is a scalar, and is thus subject to broadcasting as above. - Writes through pointers may affect any local variable that has its address taken. We use points-to analysis to determine the set of potentially-affected variables for a given pointer indirection. We broadcast any such variable which is used in worker-partitioned mode, on a per-block basis for any block containing a write through a pointer. Some slides about the implementation (from 2018) are available at: https://jtb20.github.io/gcnworkers.pdf gcc/ * Makefile.in (OBJS): Add omp-oacc-neuter-broadcast.o. * doc/tm.texi.in (TARGET_GOACC_CREATE_WORKER_BROADCAST_RECORD): Add documentation hook. * doc/tm.texi: Regenerate. * omp-oacc-neuter-broadcast.cc: New file. * omp-builtins.def (BUILT_IN_GOACC_BARRIER) (BUILT_IN_GOACC_SINGLE_START, BUILT_IN_GOACC_SINGLE_COPY_START) (BUILT_IN_GOACC_SINGLE_COPY_END): New builtins. * passes.def (pass_omp_oacc_neuter_broadcast): Add pass. * target.def (goacc.create_worker_broadcast_record): Add target hook. * tree-pass.h (make_pass_omp_oacc_neuter_broadcast): Add prototype. * config/gcn/gcn-protos.h (gcn_goacc_adjust_propagation_record): Rename prototype to...
