Summary:
This patch adds a temporary implementation that uses a struct-based
interface in lieu of varargs support. Once varargs support exists we
will move this implementation to the "real" printf implementation.
Conceptually, this patch has the client copy over its format string and
arguments to the server. The server will then scan the format string
searching for any specifiers that are actually a string. If it is a
string then we will send the pointer back to the server to tell it to
copy it back. This copied value will then replace the pointer when the
final formatting is done.
This will require a built-in extension to the varargs support to get
access to the underlying struct. The varargs used on the GPU will simply
be a struct wrapped in a varargs ABI.
Summary:
This patch removes the `rpc_reset` function. This was previously used to
initialize the RPC client on the device by setting up the pointers to
communicate with the server. The purpose of this was to make it easier
to initialize the device for testing. However, this prevented us from
enforcing an invariant that the buffers are all read-only from the
client side.
The expected way to initialize the server is now to copy it from the
host runtime. This will allow us to maintain that the RPC client is in
the constant address space on the GPU, potentially through inference,
and improving caching behaviour.
This patch adds the `rpc_host_call` function as a GPU extension. This is
exported from the `libc` project to use the RPC interface to call a
function pointer via RPC any copying the arguments by-value. The
interface can only support a single void pointer argument much like
pthreads. The function call here is the bare-bones version of what's
required for OpenMP reverse offloading. Full support will require
interfacing with the mapping table, nowait support, etc.
I decided to test this interface in `libomptarget` as that will be the
primary consumer and it would be more difficult to make a test in `libc`
due to the testing infrastructure not really having a concept of the
"host" as it runs directly on the GPU as if it were a CPU target.

The GPU port of the LLVM C library needs to export a few extensions to
the interface such that users can interface with it. This patch adds the
necessary logic to define a GPU extension. Currently, this only exports
a `rpc_reset_client` function. This allows us to use the server in
D147054 to set up the RPC interface outside of `libc`.
