Alex Voicu	37e40fcd40	This is primarily intended as an additional cleanup of the module functionality, in the aftermath of adopting module based dispatch. The main effort was associated with refactoring the questionable ihipModuleGetSymbol. It was quaintly written and misleading, in that it had little to do with getting symbols, and was exactly retrieving a kernel object. Error handling is modified so as to reduce branching depth. Functions which serve as interfaces to the HSA RT are moved in a separate helper header. Code object readers are properly deleted. Some leftover dead functionality pertaining to associating namespace scope variables with their allocated memory is removed. Executable loading is changed to use a string which holds the ELF image of the code object being loaded, thus avoiding some corner cases where using a istream would fail. ...

Alex Voicu	1366b2d5ae	Refactor the __device__ versions of memset and memcpy to be less awkward i.e. not return nullptr as opposed to the destination pointer (it can only be assumed it was done for maximum confusion) and actually unroll as they claim to. Change all of the {to, from}Symbol functions to use hipModuleGetGlobal, as opposed to hc::accelerator::get_symbol_address which is no longer valid with module based dispatch. ...

Alex Voicu	b738633bcb	This switches HIP from its currently convoluted macro + pfe based dispatch mechanism to a more natural one partially based on the existing module API. The basic idea is that HCC will always correctly emit __global__ functions: as empty-bodied stubs, on host, and as kernels, on device. It then becomes trivial to obtain the mangled name on host, at dispatch, from the function's address, and then to use the mangled name to retrieve the kernel. This should address all problems stemming from serialisation, dubious mismatches due to the manufactured functor, macro-isms et al. It also immediately enables support for generalised globals as a consequence of that being available in the module API. Finally, it will make debug much easier, since the actual names of the __global__ functions will automatically be used in traces etc. One detail is that due to how dispatch works now (hipLaunchKernel and hipLaunchKernelGGL are themselves variadic function templates which deduce the function type of the callee), in certain cases it may be necesssary to insert explicit casts to ensure that the variadic argument list selects a viable overload - this can be observed in some unit tests. Eventually we may be able to remove this limitation, but for now it does not appear terribly onerous. The code is not extremely HIPpie, nor is it fully optimised, but rather is intended as a starting point for the HIP team to make its own. ... [ROCm/clr commit: 28f87f7d2e]	2017-11-01 15:09:59 +00:00
