Summary:
This patch moves the RPC server handling to be a header only utility
stored in the `shared/` directory. This is intended to be shared within
LLVM for the loaders and `offload/` handling.
Generally, this makes it easier to share code without weird
cross-project binaries being plucked out of the build system. It also
allows us to soon move the loader interface out of the `libc` project so
that we don't need to bootstrap those and can build them in LLVM.
Summary:
Currently, the RPC interface uses a basic opcode to communicate with the
server. This currently is 16 bits. There's no reason for this to be 16
bits, because on the GPU a 32-bit write is the same as a 16-bit write
performance wise.
Additionally, I am now making all the `libc` based opcodes qualified
with the 'c' type, mimiciing how Linux handles `ioctls` all coming from
the same driver. This will make it easier to extend the interface when
it's exported directly.
Summary:
After the overhaul of the GPU build the documentation pages were a
little stale. This updates them with more in-depth information on
building the GPU runtimes and using them. Specifically using them goes
through the differences between the offloading and direct compilation
modes.
Summary:
This directory is leftover from when we handled both AMDGPU and NVPTX in
the same build and merged them into a pseudo triple. Now the only thing
it contains is the RPC server header. This gets rid of it, but now that
it's in the base install directory we should make it clear that it's an
LLVM libc header.
This patch does the noisy work of removing the test opcodes from the
exported interface to an interface that is only visible in `libc`. The
benefit of this is that we both test the exported RPC registration more
directly, and we do not need to give this interface to users.
I have decided to export any opcode that is not a "core" libc feature as
having its MSB set in the opcode. We can think of these as non-libc
"extensions".

This patch updates some of the documentation for the GPU libc project.
There is a lot of work still to be done, but this sets the general
outline.
