10 // Pointer arguments to kernel functions need to be lowered specially.
11 //
12 // 1. Copy byval struct args to local memory. This is a preparation for handling
13 // cases like
14 //
15 // kernel void foo(struct A arg, ...)
16 // {
17 // struct A *p = &arg;
18 // ...
19 // ... = p->filed1 ... (this is no generic address for .param)
20 // p->filed2 = ... (this is no write access to .param)
21 // }
22 //
23 // 2. Convert non-byval pointer arguments of CUDA kernels to pointers in the
24 // global address space. This allows later optimizations to emit
25 // ld.global.*/st.global.* for accessing these pointer arguments. For
26 // example,
27 //
28 // define void @foo(float* %input) {
29 // %v = load float, float* %input, align 4
30 // ...
31 // }
32 //
33 // becomes
34 //
35 // define void @foo(float* %input) {
36 // %input2 = addrspacecast float* %input to float addrspace(1)*
37 // %input3 = addrspacecast float addrspace(1)* %input2 to float*
38 // %v = load float, float* %input3, align 4
39 // ...
40 // }
41 //
42 // Later, NVPTXFavorNonGenericAddrSpaces will optimize it to
43 //
44 // define void @foo(float* %input) {
45 // %input2 = addrspacecast float* %input to float addrspace(1)*
46 // %v = load float, float addrspace(1)* %input2, align 4
47 // ...
48 // }
49 //
50 // 3. Convert pointers in a byval kernel parameter to pointers in the global
51 // address space. As #2, it allows NVPTX to emit more ld/st.global. E.g.,
52 //
53 // struct S {
54 // int *x;
55 // int *y;
56 // };
57 // __global__ void foo(S s) {
58 // int *b = s.y;
59 // // use b
60 // }
61 //
62 // "b" points to the global address space. In the IR level,
63 //
64 // define void @foo({i32*, i32*}* byval %input) {
65 // %b_ptr = getelementptr {i32*, i32*}, {i32*, i32*}* %input, i64 0, i32 1
66 // %b = load i32*, i32** %b_ptr
67 // ; use %b
68 // }
69 //
70 // becomes
71 //
72 // define void @foo({i32*, i32*}* byval %input) {
73 // %b_ptr = getelementptr {i32*, i32*}, {i32*, i32*}* %input, i64 0, i32 1
74 // %b = load i32*, i32** %b_ptr
75 // %b_global = addrspacecast i32* %b to i32 addrspace(1)*
76 // %b_generic = addrspacecast i32 addrspace(1)* %b_global to i32*
77 // ; use %b_generic
78 // }
79 //
80 // TODO: merge this pass with NVPTXFavorNonGenericAddrSpace so that other passes
81 // don't cancel the addrspacecast pair this pass emits.
