CLRadeonExtender Assembler Gallium handling

The GalliumCompute is an open-source the OpenCL implementation for the Mesa3D drivers. It divided into three components: CLover, libclc, LLVM AMDGPU. Since LLVM v3.6 and Mesa3D v10.5, GalliumCompute binary format with native code. CLRadeonExtender supports only these binaries.

Binary format

The binary format contains: kernel informations and the main binary in the ELF format. Main .text section contains all code for all kernels. Optionally, section .rodata contains constant global data for all kernels. Main binary have the kernel configuration (ProgInfo) in the .AMDGPU.config section. ProgInfo holds three addresses and values that describes runtime environment for kernel: floating point setup, register usage, local data usage and rest.

The assembler source code divided to three parts:

  • kernel configuration
  • kernel constant data (in .rodata section)
  • kernel code (in .text section)

Order of these parts doesn't matter.

Kernel function should to be aligned to 256 byte boundary.

Scalar register allocation

Assembler for GalliumCompute format counts all SGPR registers and add extra registers (VCC, FLAT_SCRATCH, XNACK_MASK) if any used to register pool. The VCC register is included by default.

List of the specific pseudo-operations

.arg

Syntax: .arg ARGTYPE, SIZE[, TARGETSIZE[, ALIGNMENT[, NUMEXT[, SEMANTIC]]]]

Adds kernel argument definition. Must be inside argument configuration. First argument is type:

  • scalar - scalar value (including vector values likes uint4)
  • contant - constant pointer (32-bit ???)
  • global - global pointer (64-bit)
  • local - local pointer
  • image2d_rdonly - ??
  • image2d_wronly - ??
  • image3d_rdonly - ??
  • image3d_wronly - ??
  • sampler - ??
  • griddim - shortcut for griddim argument definition
  • gridoffset - shortcut for gridoffset argument definition

Second argument is size of argument. Third argument is targetSize which should be a multiplier of 4. Fourth argument is target alignment. By default target alignment is power of 2 not less than size. Fifth argument determines how extend numeric value to larger target size: sext - signed, zext - zero extend. If argument is smaller than 4 byte, then sext can be to define signed integer, zext to unsigned integer. Sixth argument is semantic:

  • general - general argument
  • griddim - griddim argument
  • gridoffset - gridoffset argument
  • imgsize - image size
  • imgformat - image format

Example argument definition:

.arg scalar, 4, 4, 4, zext, general .arg global, 8, 8, 8, zext, general .arg scalar, 2, 4, 4, sext, general # short .arg scalar, 16, 16, 16, zext, general # uint4 or double2 .arg scalar, 4, 4, 4, zext, griddim # shortcut: .arg griddim .arg scalar, 4, 4, 4, zext, gridoffset # shortcut .arg gridoffset

Last two arguments (griddim, gridoffset) shall to be defined in any kernel definition.

.args

Open kernel argument configuration. Must be inside kernel.

.config

Open kernel configuration. Must be inside kernel. Kernel configuration can not be defined if proginfo configuration was defined (by using .proginfo). Following pseudo-ops can be inside kernel config:

  • .debugmode - enables using of DEBUG_MODE
  • .dims DIMS - choose dimensions used by kernel function. Can be: x,y,z.
  • .dx10clamp - enables using of DX10_CLAMP
  • .floatmode VALUE - choose float mode for kernel (byte value). Default value is 0xc0
  • .ieeemode - choose IEEE mode for kernel
  • .localsize SIZE - initial local data size for kernel in bytes
  • .pgmrsrc2 VALUE - value of the PGMRSRC2 (only bits that is not set by other pseudo-ops)
  • .priority VALUE - set priority for kernel (0-3). Default value is 0.
  • .privmode - enables using of PRIV (privileged mode)
  • .scratchbuffer SIZE - size of scratchbuffer (???). Default value is 0.
  • .sgprsnum NUMBER - number of SGPR registers used by kernel (excluding VCC,FLAT_SCRATCH). By default, automatically computed by assembler.
  • .vgprsnum NUMBER - number of VGPR registers used by kernel. By default, automatically computed by assembler.
  • .userdatanum NUMBER - number of USERDATA used by kernel (0-16). Default value is 4.
  • .tgsize - enables using of TG_SIZE_EN (we recommend to add this always)
  • .spillesgprs - number of scalar registers to spill
  • .spillevgprs - number of vector registers to spill

Example configuration:

.config .dims xyz .tgsize

.debugmode

This pseudo-op must be inside kernel configuration (.config). Enable usage of the DEBUG_MODE.

.dims

This pseudo-op must be inside kernel configuration (.config). Defines what dimensions (from list: x, y, z) will be used to determine space of the kernel execution.

.driver_version

Syntax: .driver_version VERSION

Set driver (Mesa3D) version for this binary. Version in form: MajorVersion*100+MinorVersion. This pseudo-op replaces driver info.

.dx10clamp

This pseudo-op must be inside kernel configuration (.config). Enable usage of the DX10_CLAMP.

.entry

Syntax: .entry ADDRESS, VALUE

Add entry of proginfo. Must be inside proginfo configuration. Sample proginfo:

.entry 0x0000b848, 0x000c0080 .entry 0x0000b84c, 0x00001788 .entry 0x0000b860, 0x00000000

.exceptions

Syntax: .exceptions EXCPMASK

This pseudo-op must be inside kernel configuration (.config). Set exception mask in PGMRSRC2 register value. Value should be 7-bit.

.floatmode

Syntax: .floatmode BYTE-VALUE

This pseudo-op must be inside kernel configuration (.config). Defines float-mode. Set floatmode (FP_ROUND and FP_DENORM fields of the MODE register). Default value is 0xc0.

.get_driver_version

Syntax: .get_driver_version SYMBOL

Store current driver version to SYMBOL.

.get_llvm_version

.ieeemode

Syntax: .ieeemode

This pseudo-op must be inside kernel configuration (.config). Set ieee-mode.

.kcode

Syntax: .kcode KERNEL1,....
Syntax: .kcode +

Open code that will be belonging to specified kernels. By default any code between two consecutive kernel labels belongs to the kernel with first label name. This pseudo-operation can change membership of the code to specified kernels. You can nest this .kcode any times. Just next .kcode adds or remove membership code to kernels. The most important reason why this feature has been added is register usage calculation. Any kernel given in this pseudo-operation must be already defined.

Sample usage:

.kcode + # this code belongs to all kernels .kcodeend .kcode kernel1, kernel2 # this code belongs to kernel1, kernel2 .kcode -kernel1 # this code belongs only to kernel2 (kernel1 removed) .kcodeend .kcodeend
