# Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The indirect clause enables **indirect device invocation** for a procedure:
|
||||
> 19 An indirect call to the device version of a procedure on a device other than the host<br>
|
||||
> 20 device, through a function pointer (C/C++), a pointer to a member function (C++) or<br>
|
||||
> 21 a procedure pointer (Fortran) that refers to the host version of the procedure.
|
||||
|
||||
# Compiler support
|
||||
### Offload entry metadata (C++ FE)
|
||||
|
||||
For each function declared as **declare target indirect** C++ FE generates the following offload metadata:
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
// Entry 0 -> Kind of this type of metadata (2)
|
||||
// Entry 1 -> Mangled name of the function.
|
||||
// Entry 2 -> Order the entry was created.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The offloading metadata uses new `OffloadEntriesInfoManagerTy::OffloadingEntryInfoKinds::OffloadingEntryInfoDeviceIndirectFunc` metadata kind.
|
||||
|
||||
### Offload entries table
|
||||
|
||||
The offload entries table that is created for the host and for each of the device images currently have entries for **declare target** global variables, **omp target** outlined functions and constructor/destructor thunks for **declare target** global variables.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Compiler will also produce an entry for each procedure listed in **indirect** clause of **declare target** construct:
|
||||
```C++
|
||||
struct __tgt_offload_entry {
|
||||
void *addr; // Pointer to the function
|
||||
char *name; // Name of the function
|
||||
size_t size; // 0 for function
|
||||
int32_t flags; // OpenMPOffloadingDeclareTargetFlags::OMP_DECLARE_TARGET_FPTR
|
||||
int32_t reserved; // Reserved
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Run-time dispatch in device code
|
||||
|
||||
When an indirect function call is generated by a FE in **device code** it translates the original function pointer (which may be an address of a host function) into the device function pointer using a translation API, and uses the resulting function pointer for the call.
|
||||
|
||||
Original call code:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
%0 = load void ()*, void ()** %fptr.addr
|
||||
call void %0()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Becomes this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
%0 = load void ()*, void ()** %fptr.addr
|
||||
%1 = bitcast void ()* %0 to i8*
|
||||
%call = call i8* @__kmpc_target_translate_fptr(i8* %1)
|
||||
%fptr_device = bitcast i8* %call to void ()*
|
||||
call void %fptr_device()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Device RTLs must provide the translation API:
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
// Translate \p FnPtr identifying a host function into a function pointer
|
||||
// identifying its device counterpart.
|
||||
// If \p FnPtr matches an address of any host function
|
||||
// declared as 'declare target indirect', then the API
|
||||
// must return an address of the same function compiled
|
||||
// for the device. If \p FnPtr does not match an address
|
||||
// of any host function, then the API returns \p FnPtr
|
||||
// unchanged.
|
||||
EXTERN void *__kmpc_target_translate_fptr(void *FnPtr);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# Runtime handling of function pointers
|
||||
|
||||
`OpenMPOffloadingDeclareTargetFlags::OMP_DECLARE_TARGET_FPTR` is a new flag to distinguish offload entries for function pointers from other function entries. Unlike other function entries (with `size` equal to 0) `omptarget::InitLibrary()` will establish mapping for function pointer entries in `Device.HostDataToTargetMap`.
|
||||
|
||||
For each `OMP_DECLARE_TARGET_FPTR` entry in the offload entries table `libomptarget` creates an entry of the following type:
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
struct __omp_offloading_fptr_map_ty {
|
||||
int64_t host_ptr; // key
|
||||
int64_t tgt_ptr; // value
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Where `host_ptr` is `__tgt_offload_entry::addr` in a **host** offload entry, and `tgt_ptr` is `__tgt_offload_entry::addr` in the corresponding **device** offload entry (which may be found using the populated `Device.HostDataToTargetMap`).
|
||||
|
||||
When all `__omp_offloading_function_ptr_map_ty` entries are collected in a single host array, `libomptarget` sorts the table by `host_ptr` values and passes it to the device plugin for registration, if plugin supports optional `__tgt_rtl_set_function_ptr_map` API.
|
||||
|
||||
Plugins may provide the following API, if they want to support **declare target indirect** functionality:
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
// Register in a target implementation defined way a table
|
||||
// of __omp_offloading_function_ptr_map_ty entries providing
|
||||
// mapping between host and device addresses of 'declare target indirect'
|
||||
// functions. \p table_size is the number of elements in \p table_host_ptr
|
||||
// array.
|
||||
EXTERN void __tgt_rtl_set_function_ptr_map(
|
||||
int32_t device_id, uint64_t table_size, __omp_offloading_fptr_map_ty *table_host_ptr);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# Sample implementation
|
||||
|
||||
This section describes one of potential implementations.
|
||||
|
||||
A FE may define the following global symbols for each translation module containing **declare target indirect**, when compiling this module for a device:
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
// Mapping between host and device functions declared as
|
||||
// 'declare target indirect'.
|
||||
__attribute__((weak)) struct __omp_offloading_fptr_map_ty {
|
||||
int64_t host_ptr; // key
|
||||
int64_t tgt_ptr; // value
|
||||
} *__omp_offloading_fptr_map_p = 0;
|
||||
|
||||
// Number of elements in __omp_offloading_fptr_map_p table.
|
||||
__attribute__((weak)) uint64_t __omp_offloading_fptr_map_size = 0;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`__tgt_rtl_set_function_ptr_map(int32_t device_id, uint64_t table_size, __omp_offloading_fptr_map_ty *table_host_ptr)` allocates device memory of size `sizeof(__omp_offloading_fptr_map_ty) * table_size`, and transfers the contents of `table_host_ptr` array into this device memory. An address of the allocated device memory area is then assigned to `__omp_offloading_fptr_map_p` global variables on the device. For example, in **CUDA**, a device address of `__omp_offloading_fptr_map_p` may be taken by calling `cuModuleGetGlobal`, and then a pointer-sized data transfer will initialize `__omp_offloading_fptr_map_p` to point to the device copy of `table_host_ptr` array. `__omp_offloading_fptr_map_size` is assigned to `table_size` the same way.
|
||||
|
||||
An alternative implementation of `__tgt_rtl_set_function_ptr_map` may invoke a device kernel that will do the assignments.
|
||||
|
||||
`__kmpc_target_translate_fptr(void *FnPtr)` API uses binary search to match `FnPtr` against `host_ptr` inside the device table pointed to by `__omp_offloading_fptr_map_p`. If the matching key is found, it returns the corresponding `tgt_ptr`, otherwise, it returns `FnPtr`.
|
||||
|
||||
# TODO: Optimization for non-unified_shared_memory
|
||||
|
||||
If a program does not use **required unified_shared_memory**, and all function pointers are mapped (not a requirement by OpenMP spec), then an implementation may avoid the runtime dispatch code for indirect function calls (i.e. `__kmpc_target_translate_fptr` is not needed) and also `__tgt_rtl_set_function_ptr_map` is not needed. `libomptarget` will just map the function pointers as regular data pointers via `Device.HostDataToTargetMap`.
