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 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).
The patch adds SPIR-V specific intrinsics required to keep information
critical to SPIR-V consistency (types, constants, etc.) during translation
from IR to MIR.
Two related passes (SPIRVEmitIntrinsics and SPIRVPreLegalizer) and several
LIT tests (passed with this change) have also been added.
It also fixes the issue with opaque pointers in SPIRVGlobalRegistry.cpp
and the mismatch of the data layout between the SPIR-V backend and clang
(Issue #55122).
