While pointers in address space 7 (128 bit rsrc + 32 bit offset)
should be rewritten out of the code before IR translation on AMDGPU,
higher-level analyses may still call MVT getPointerTy() and the like
on the target machine. Currently, since there is no MVT::i160, this
operation ends up causing crashes.
The changes to the data layout that caused such crashes were D149776.
This patch causes getPointerTy() to return the type MVT::v5i32
and getPointerMemTy() to be MVT::v8i32. These are accurate types,
but mean that we can't use vectors of address space 7 pointers during
codegen. This is mostly OK, since vectors of buffers aren't supported
in LPC anyway, but it's a noticable limitation.
Potential alternative solutions include adjusting getPointerTy() to return
an EVT or adding MVT::i160 and MVT::i256, both of which are rather
disruptive to the rest of the compiler.
