Note hipHostMalloc (not hipHostAlloc or hipMallocHost).
- the hipHost* is used for all HIP APIs dealing with Host memory.
(including hipHostMalloc, hipHostFree, hipHostRegister,
hipHostUnregister, hipHostGetFlags, hipHostGetDevicePointer).
- hipMallocHost is consistent with "hipMalloc" for allocating device
memory. Enumerations hipHostMalloc* also used as optional
flags parm to hipHostMalloc.
- Add device-side signal waits when transitioning between command classes
(Kernel, H2D copy, D2H copy).
- Support waiting in staged memory copies as well.
- Add several chicken bits to control implementation:
- HIP_DISABLE_ENQ_BARRIER
- HIP_DISABLE_BIDIR_MEMCPY
- HIP_ONESHOT_COPY_DEP
- Refactor signal pool to support efficient deallocation based on
signsequnm.
- Deallocate copy signals on eventSynchronize.
- Improve copy tests, add pingpong.
