This pull request aims to remove any dependency on OpenCL/SPIR-V type
information in LLVM IR metadata. While, using metadata might simplify
and prettify the resulting SPIR-V output (and restore some of the
information missed in the transformation to opaque pointers), the
overall methodology for resolving kernel parameter types is highly
inefficient.
The high-level strategy is to assign kernel parameter types in this order:
1. Resolving the types using builtin function calls as mangled names
must contain type information or by looking up builtin definition in
SPIRVBuiltins.td. Then:
- Assigning the type temporarily using an intrinsic and later setting
the right SPIR-V type in SPIRVGlobalRegistry after IRTranslation
- Inserting a bitcast
2. Defaulting to LLVM IR types (in case of pointers the generic i8*
type or types from byval/byref attributes)
In case of type incompatibility (e.g. parameter defined initially as
sampler_t and later used as image_t) the error will be found early on
before IRTranslation (in the SPIRVEmitIntrinsics pass).
This pull request fixes an issue with missing vector element count
immediate in OpExtInst calls and adds a case for generating bitcasts
before GEPs for kernel arguments of non-matching pointer type. The new
LITs are based on basic/vload_local and basic/vload_global OpenCL CTS
tests. The tests after this change pass SPIR-V validation.
This patch introduces a new spv_ptrcast intrinsic for tracking expected
pointer types. The change fixes multiple OpenCL CTS regressions due the
switch to opaque pointers (e.g. basic/hiloeo).
These tests are currently failing and their fix is being tracked in
Issue #60133. Marking them as XFAIL for now will get the test suite to a
passing state so we can work on adding a GitHub action to automatically
run these tests on a PR bot to help keep the tree green.
Also removed the no-longer supported -opaque-pointers=0 flag from the
couple tests where it was remaining.
