AMDGPU: Select MIMG instructions manually in SITargetLowering
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

Having TableGen patterns for image intrinsics is hitting limitations:
for D16 we already have to manually pre-lower the packing of data
values, and we will have to do the same for A16 eventually.

Since there is already some custom C++ code anyway, it is arguably easier
to just do everything in C++, now that we can use the beefed-up generic
tables backend of TableGen to provide all the required metadata and map
intrinsics to corresponding opcodes. With this approach, all image
intrinsic lowering happens in SITargetLowering::lowerImage. That code is
dense due to all the cases that it handles, but it should still be easier
to follow than what we had before, by virtue of it all being done in a
single location, and by virtue of not relying on the TableGen pattern
magic that very few people really understand.

This means that we will have MachineSDNodes with MIMG instructions
during DAG combining, but that seems alright: previously we had
intrinsic nodes instead, but those are similarly opaque to the generic
CodeGen infrastructure, and the final pattern matching just did a 1:1
translation to machine instructions anyway. If anything, the fact that
we now merge the address words into a vector before DAG combine should
be an advantage.

Thank you! I am in favor of this change even despite what we have discussed today. If we eventually want to create target ISD nodes it could be done on top of it and separately, but currently I see no such need.
A separate note: SIISelLowering.cpp has really overgrown, it is already about 8000 lines. Maybe we shall consider splitting it into separate pieces as a separate change. Like this stuff is something like SIImageLowering.cpp.

.ScalarType() == s16

4622

I think we already have a hasD16 feature?

4642

I'm going to be committing that patch soon so might as well just wait for that

4665

Isn't this always the case?

Done.

4622

I don't see one. There's a hasUnpackedD16VMem(), but that just says whether D16 is unpacked or packed (if it exists).

FWIW, I'm not a fan of having explicit feature flags for features that are already clearly delineated by hardware generations, which is the case for D16.

4642

Sure, will do. There's a few more changes to come anyway, and I want to submit them all at once to reduce merge conflicts with our internal branches.

4665

No. getlod and getresinfo don't access memory and are INTRINSIC_WO_CHAIN.

4680–4681

Good point, changed. It doesn't seem like any downstream users care...
