This PR adds support in the Level Zero plugin to execute constructors/destructors on the device code. As spirv-link has some limitations, it mimics the CUDA plugin behavior where the RTL constructs the device side tables before invoking the kernel that will execute them. The kernel and other necessary symbols to create the device tables are created by the SPIRVCtorDtorLowering pass to be added in #187509
The LLVM/Offload Subproject
The Offload subproject aims at providing tooling, runtimes, and APIs that allow users to execute code on accelerators or other "co-processors" that may or may not match the architecture of their "host". In the long run, all kinds of targets are in scope of this effort, including but not limited to: CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, AI/ML accelerators, distributed resources, etc.
For OpenMP offload users, the project is ready and fully usable. The final API design is still under development. More content will show up here and on our webpage soon. In the meantime, people are encouraged to participate in our meetings (see below) and check our development board as well as the discussions on Discourse.
