// CUDA C/C++ includes memory space designation as variable type qualifers (such
// as __global__ and __shared__). Knowing the space of a memory access allows
// CUDA compilers to emit faster PTX loads and stores. For example, a load from
// shared memory can be translated to `ld.shared` which is roughly 10% faster
// than a generic `ld` on an NVIDIA Tesla K40c.
//
// Unfortunately, type qualifiers only apply to variable declarations, so CUDA
// compilers must infer the memory space of an address expression from
// type-qualified variables.
//
// LLVM IR uses non-zero (so-called) specific address spaces to represent memory
// spaces (e.g. addrspace(3) means shared memory). The Clang frontend
// places only type-qualified variables in specific address spaces, and then
// conservatively `addrspacecast`s each type-qualified variable to addrspace(0)
// (so-called the generic address space) for other instructions to use.
//
// For example, the Clang translates the following CUDA code
// __shared__ float a[10];
// float v = a[i];
// to
// %0 = addrspacecast [10 x float] addrspace(3)* @a to [10 x float]*
// %1 = gep [10 x float], [10 x float]* %0, i64 0, i64 %i
// %v = load float, float* %1 ; emits ld.f32
// @a is in addrspace(3) since it's type-qualified, but its use from %1 is
// redirected to %0 (the generic version of @a).
//
// The optimization implemented in this file propagates specific address spaces
// from type-qualified variable declarations to its users. For example, it
// optimizes the above IR to
// %1 = gep [10 x float] addrspace(3)* @a, i64 0, i64 %i
// %v = load float addrspace(3)* %1 ; emits ld.shared.f32
// propagating the addrspace(3) from @a to %1. As the result, the NVPTX
// codegen is able to emit ld.shared.f32 for %v.
//
// Address space inference works in two steps. First, it uses a data-flow
// analysis to infer as many generic pointers as possible to point to only one
// specific address space. In the above example, it can prove that %1 only
// points to addrspace(3). This algorithm was published in
// CUDA: Compiling and optimizing for a GPU platform
// Chakrabarti, Grover, Aarts, Kong, Kudlur, Lin, Marathe, Murphy, Wang
// ICCS 2012
//
// Then, address space inference replaces all refinable generic pointers with
// equivalent specific pointers.
//
// The major challenge of implementing this optimization is handling PHINodes,
// which may create loops in the data flow graph. This brings two complications.
//
// First, the data flow analysis in Step 1 needs to be circular. For example,
// %generic.input = addrspacecast float addrspace(3)* %input to float*
// loop:
// %y = phi [ %generic.input, %y2 ]
// %y2 = getelementptr %y, 1
// %v = load %y2
// br ..., label %loop, ...
// proving %y specific requires proving both %generic.input and %y2 specific,
// but proving %y2 specific circles back to %y. To address this complication,
// the data flow analysis operates on a lattice:
// uninitialized > specific address spaces > generic.
// All address expressions (our implementation only considers phi, bitcast,
// addrspacecast, and getelementptr) start with the uninitialized address space.
// The monotone transfer function moves the address space of a pointer down a
// lattice path from uninitialized to specific and then to generic. A join
// operation of two different specific address spaces pushes the expression down
// to the generic address space. The analysis completes once it reaches a fixed
// point.
//
// Second, IR rewriting in Step 2 also needs to be circular. For example,
// converting %y to addrspace(3) requires the compiler to know the converted
// %y2, but converting %y2 needs the converted %y. To address this complication,
// we break these cycles using "undef" placeholders. When converting an
// instruction `I` to a new address space, if its operand `Op` is not converted
// yet, we let `I` temporarily use `undef` and fix all the uses of undef later.
// For instance, our algorithm first converts %y to
// %y' = phi float addrspace(3)* [ %input, undef ]
// Then, it converts %y2 to
// %y2' = getelementptr %y', 1
// Finally, it fixes the undef in %y' so that
// %y' = phi float addrspace(3)* [ %input, %y2' ]
//
// TODO: This pass is experimental and not enabled by default. Users can turn it
// on by setting the -nvptx-use-infer-addrspace flag of llc. We plan to replace
// NVPTXNonFavorGenericAddrSpaces with this pass shortly.
