Detailed Description

Operations related to AMD GPU memory access.

The AMD GPU supports allocating memory in different address spaces. See User Guide for AMDGPU Backend - LLVM - Address Spaces.

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ AMD_DBGAPI_ADDRESS_CLASS_NONE

#define AMD_DBGAPI_ADDRESS_CLASS_NONE    AMD_DBGAPI_HANDLE_LITERAL (amd_dbgapi_address_class_id_t, 0)

The NULL address class handle.

◆ AMD_DBGAPI_ADDRESS_SPACE_GLOBAL

#define AMD_DBGAPI_ADDRESS_SPACE_GLOBAL    AMD_DBGAPI_HANDLE_LITERAL (amd_dbgapi_address_space_id_t, 1)

The global address space handle.

Every architecture supports a global address space that uses the same address space ID.

◆ AMD_DBGAPI_ADDRESS_SPACE_NONE

#define AMD_DBGAPI_ADDRESS_SPACE_NONE    AMD_DBGAPI_HANDLE_LITERAL (amd_dbgapi_address_space_id_t, 0)

The NULL address space handle.

◆ AMD_DBGAPI_LANE_NONE

#define AMD_DBGAPI_LANE_NONE   ((amd_dbgapi_lane_id_t) (-1))

The NULL lane handle.

Typedef Documentation

◆ amd_dbgapi_lane_id_t

typedef uint32_t amd_dbgapi_lane_id_t

A wave lane handle.

A wave can have one or more lanes controlled by an execution mask. Vector instructions will be performed for each lane of the wave that the execution mask has enabled. Vector instructions can access registers that are vector registers. A vector register has a separate value for each lane, and vector instructions will access the corresponding component for each lane's evaluation of the instruction.

The number of lanes of a wave can be obtained with the AMD_DBGAPI_WAVE_INFO_LANE_COUNT query. Different waves of the same architecture can have different lane counts.

The AMD GPU compiler may map source language threads of execution to lanes of a wave. The DWARF debug information which maps such source languages to the generated architecture specific code must include information about the lane mapping.

The DW_ASPACE_AMDGPU_private_lane DWARF address space supports memory allocated independently for each lane of a wave.

Lanes are numbered from 0 to AMD_DBGAPI_WAVE_INFO_LANE_COUNT minus 1.

Only unique for a single wave of a single process.

◆ amd_dbgapi_segment_address_t

typedef uint64_t amd_dbgapi_segment_address_t

Each address space has its own linear address to access it termed a segment address.

Different address spaces may have memory locations that alias each other, but the segment address for such memory locations may be different in each address space. Consequently a segment address is specific to an address space.

Some address spaces may access memory that is allocated independently for each workgroup, for each wave, or for each lane of of a wave. Consequently a segment address may be specific to a wave or lane of a wave.

See User Guide for AMDGPU Backend - LLVM - Address Spaces.

Enumeration Type Documentation

Each query specifies the type of data returned in the value argument to amd_dbgapi_address_class_get_info.

Enumerator
AMD_DBGAPI_ADDRESS_CLASS_INFO_NAME	Return the source language address class name. The type of this attribute is a pointer to a NUL terminated char. It is allocated by the amd_dbgapi_callbacks_s::allocate_memory callback and is owned by the client.
AMD_DBGAPI_ADDRESS_CLASS_INFO_ADDRESS_SPACE	Return the architecture specific address space that is used to implement a pointer or reference to the source language address class.

AMD_DBGAPI_ADDRESS_CLASS_INFO_DWARF	Return the AMD GPU DWARF address class number for the address class' architecture. The type of this attribute is uint64_t.

◆ amd_dbgapi_address_class_state_t

AMD_DBGAPI_ADDRESS_SPACE_ACCESS_DISPATCH_CONSTANT	The address space is only read the waves of a kernel dispatch. Values accessed are always the same value for the lifetime of the dispatch.

◆ amd_dbgapi_address_space_info_t

enum amd_dbgapi_address_space_info_t

Address space queries that are supported by amd_dbgapi_address_space_get_info.

Each query specifies the type of data returned in the value argument to amd_dbgapi_address_space_get_info.

Enumerator
AMD_DBGAPI_ADDRESS_SPACE_INFO_NAME	Return the address space name. The type of this attribute is a pointer to a NUL terminated char*. It is allocated by the amd_dbgapi_callbacks_s::allocate_memory callback and is owned by the client.

AMD_DBGAPI_ADDRESS_SPACE_INFO_DWARF	Return the AMD GPU DWARF address space number for the address space's architecture. The type of this attribute is uint64_t.

◆ amd_dbgapi_memory_precision_t

enum amd_dbgapi_memory_precision_t

Memory access precision.

The AMD GPU can overlap the execution of memory instructions with other instructions. This can result in a wave stopping due to a memory violation or hardware data watchpoint hit with a program counter beyond the instruction that caused the wave to stop.

Some architectures allow the hardware to be configured to always wait for memory operations to complete before continuing. This will result in the wave stopping at the instruction immediately after the one that caused the stop event. Enabling this mode can make execution of waves significantly slower.

The AMD_DBGAPI_PROCESS_INFO_PRECISE_MEMORY_SUPPORTED query can be used to determine if the architectures of all the agents of a process support controlling precise memory accesses.

Enumerator
AMD_DBGAPI_MEMORY_PRECISION_NONE	Memory instructions execute normally and a wave does not wait for the memory access to complete.
AMD_DBGAPI_MEMORY_PRECISION_PRECISE	A wave waits for memory instructions to complete before executing further instructions. This can cause a wave to execute significantly slower.

◆ amd_dbgapi_segment_address_dependency_t

enum amd_dbgapi_segment_address_dependency_t

The dependency when reading or writing a specific segment address of an address space using the amd_dbgapi_read_memory and amd_dbgapi_write_memory operations.

Enumerator

AMD_DBGAPI_SEGMENT_ADDRESS_DEPENDENCE_WORKGROUP	Reading or writing the segment address depends on the workgroup.
AMD_DBGAPI_SEGMENT_ADDRESS_DEPENDENCE_AGENT	Reading or writing the segment address depends on the agent.
AMD_DBGAPI_SEGMENT_ADDRESS_DEPENDENCE_PROCESS	Reading or writing the segment address depends on the process.

An error is returned if the source segment address has no corresponding segment address in the destination address space.

The source and destination address spaces do not have to have the same linear ordering. For example, for AMD GPU the private_swizzled address space is implemented as global address space memory that interleaves the dwords of the wave's lanes. So converting a private_swizzled address to a global address will result in the corresponding scratch backing memory address. The destination_contiguous_bytes will indicate how many bytes, starting at the destination_segment_address, before the scratch backing memory corresponds to a dword of the adjacent lane. To get the scratch backing memory address of the byte after destination_contiguous_bytes bytes requires amd_dbgapi_convert_address_space to be called again with the address source_segment_address plus destination_contiguous_bytes.

A client can use this operation to help manage caching the bytes of different address spaces. An address in an address space that is being accessed can attempt to be converted to the various address spaces being cached to see if it aliases with bytes being cached under a different address space. For example, an address in the AMD GPU generic address space may alias with an address in the global, private_swizzled, or local address spaces.

Parameters

[in]	lane_id	The lane of the wave_id that is using the address. If the address_space does not depend on the active lane then this may be AMD_DBGAPI_LANE_NONE. For example, the AMD_DBGAPI_ADDRESS_SPACE_GLOBAL address space does not depend on the lane.

Read memory.

The memory bytes in address_space are read for lane_id of wave_id starting at segment_address sequentially into value until value_size bytes have been read or an invalid memory address is reached. value_size is set to the number of bytes read successfully.

If wave_id is not AMD_DBGAPI_WAVE_NONE then it must be stopped, must belong to process_id, and its architecture must be the same as that of the address space.

The library performs all necessary hardware cache management so that the memory values read are coherent with the wave_id if not AMD_DBGAPI_WAVE_NONE. In order for the memory values read to be coherent with other waves, the waves must be stopped when invoking this operation. Stopping wave creation, stopping all waves, performing this operation, resuming any stopped waves, and then allowing wave creation can achieve this requirement. This requirement also applies if memory is read by other operating system supported means.
