      Add new OpenMP 4.5 affinity API · 2f7c077b
      Jonathan Peyton authored
      This change introduces the new OpenMP 4.5 affinity api surrounding
      OpenMP Places. There are six new entry points:
      
      Typically called in serial region:
       * omp_get_num_places - returns the number of places available to the execution
             environment in the place list.
       * omp_get_place_num_procs - returns the number of processors available to the
             execution environment in the specified place.
       * omp_get_place_proc_ids - returns the numerical identifiers of the processors
             available to the execution environment in the specified place.
      
      Typically called inside parallel region:
       * omp_get_place_num - returns the place number of the place to which the
             encountering thread is bound.
       * omp_get_partition_num_places - returns the number of places in the place
             partition of the innermost implicit task.
       * omp_get_partition_place_nums - returns the list of place numbers
             corresponding to the places in the place-var ICV of the innermost
             implicit task.

      Add initial support for OpenMP 4.5 task priority feature · 2851072d
      Jonathan Peyton authored
      The maximum task priority value is read from envirable: OMP_MAX_TASK_PRIORITY.
      But as of now, nothing is done with it.  We just handle the environment variable
      and add the new api: omp_get_max_task_priority() which returns that value or
      zero if it is not set.

      Hinted lock (OpenMP 4.5 feature) Updates/Fixes Part 3 · b87b5813
      Jonathan Peyton authored
      This change set includes all changes to make the code conform to the OMP 4.5 specification:
      
      * Removed hint / hinted_init definitions from include/40 files
      * Hint values are powers of 2 to enable composition (4.5 spec)
      * Hinted lock initialization functions were renamed (4.5 spec)
        kmp_init_lock_hinted -> omp_init_lock_with_hint
        kmp_init_nest_lock_hinted -> omp_init_nest_lock_with_hint
      * __kmpc_critical_section_with_hint was added to support a critical section with
        a hint (4.5 spec)
      * __kmp_map_hint_to_lock was added to convert a hint (possibly a composite) to
        an internal lock type
      * kmpc_init_lock_with_hint and kmpc_init_nest_lock_with_hint were added as
        internal entries for the hinted lock initializers. The preivous internal
        functions (__kmp_init*) were moved to kmp_csupport.c and reused in multiple
        places
      * Added the two init functions to dllexports
      * KMP_USE_DYNAMIC_LOCK is turned on if OMP_41_ENABLED is turned on

      Enable debugger support · 8fbb49ab
      Jonathan Peyton authored
      These changes enable external debuggers to conveniently interface with 
      the LLVM OpenMP Library.  Structures are added which describe the important
      internal structures of the OpenMP Library e.g., teams, threads, etc.
      This feature is turned on by default (CMake variable LIBOMP_USE_DEBUGGER)
      and can be turned off with -DLIBOMP_USE_DEBUGGER=off.

      I apologise in advance for the size of this check-in. At Intel we do · 4cc4bb4c
      Jim Cownie authored
      understand that this is not friendly, and are working to change our
      internal code-development to make it easier to make development
      features available more frequently and in finer (more functional)
      chunks. Unfortunately we haven't got that in place yet, and unpicking
      this into multiple separate check-ins would be non-trivial, so please
      bear with me on this one. We should be better in the future.
      
      Apologies over, what do we have here?
      
      GGC 4.9 compatibility
      --------------------
      * We have implemented the new entrypoints used by code compiled by GCC
      4.9 to implement the same functionality in gcc 4.8. Therefore code
      compiled with gcc 4.9 that used to work will continue to do so.
      However, there are some other new entrypoints (associated with task
      cancellation) which are not implemented. Therefore user code compiled
      by gcc 4.9 that uses these new features will not link against the LLVM
      runtime. (It remains unclear how to handle those entrypoints, since
      the GCC interface has potentially unpleasant performance implications
      for join barriers even when cancellation is not used)
      
      --- new parallel entry points ---
      new entry points that aren't OpenMP 4.0 related
      These are implemented fully :-
            GOMP_parallel_loop_dynamic()
            GOMP_parallel_loop_guided()
            GOMP_parallel_loop_runtime()
            GOMP_parallel_loop_static()
            GOMP_parallel_sections()
            GOMP_parallel()
      
      --- cancellation entry points ---
      Currently, these only give a runtime error if OMP_CANCELLATION is true
      because our plain barriers don't check for cancellation while waiting
              GOMP_barrier_cancel()
              GOMP_cancel()
              GOMP_cancellation_point()
              GOMP_loop_end_cancel()
              GOMP_sections_end_cancel()
      
      --- taskgroup entry points ---
      These are implemented fully.
            GOMP_taskgroup_start()
            GOMP_taskgroup_end()
      
      --- target entry points ---
      These are empty (as they are in libgomp)
           GOMP_target()
           GOMP_target_data()
           GOMP_target_end_data()
           GOMP_target_update()
           GOMP_teams()
      
      Improvements in Barriers and Fork/Join
      --------------------------------------
      * Barrier and fork/join code is now in its own file (which makes it
      easier to understand and modify).
      * Wait/release code is now templated and in its own file; suspend/resume code is also templated
      * There's a new, hierarchical, barrier, which exploits the
      cache-hierarchy of the Intel(r) Xeon Phi(tm) coprocessor to improve
      fork/join and barrier performance.
      
      ***BEWARE*** the new source files have *not* been added to the legacy
      Cmake build system. If you want to use that fixes wil be required.
      
      Statistics Collection Code
      --------------------------
      * New code has been added to collect application statistics (if this
      is enabled at library compile time; by default it is not). The
      statistics code itself is generally useful, the lightweight timing
      code uses the X86 rdtsc instruction, so will require changes for other
      architectures.
      The intent of this code is not for users to tune their codes but
      rather 
      1) For timing code-paths inside the runtime
      2) For gathering general properties of OpenMP codes to focus attention
      on which OpenMP features are most used. 
      
      Nested Hot Teams
      ----------------
      * The runtime now maintains more state to reduce the overhead of
      creating and destroying inner parallel teams. This improves the
      performance of code that repeatedly uses nested parallelism with the
      same resource allocation. Set the new KMP_HOT_TEAMS_MAX_LEVEL
      envirable to a depth to enable this (and, of course, OMP_NESTED=true
      to enable nested parallelism at all).
      
      Improved Intel(r) VTune(Tm) Amplifier support
      ---------------------------------------------
      * The runtime provides additional information to Vtune via the
      itt_notify interface to allow it to display better OpenMP specific
      analyses of load-imbalance.
      
      Support for OpenMP Composite Statements
      ---------------------------------------
      * Implement new entrypoints required by some of the OpenMP 4.1
      composite statements.
      
      Improved ifdefs
      ---------------
      * More separation of concepts ("Does this platform do X?") from
      platforms ("Are we compiling for platform Y?"), which should simplify
      future porting.
      
      
      ScaleMP* contribution
      ---------------------
      Stack padding to improve the performance in their environment where
      cross-node coherency is managed at the page level.
      
      Redesign of wait and release code
      ---------------------------------
      The code is simplified and performance improved.
      
      Bug Fixes
      ---------
          *Fixes for Windows multiple processor groups.
          *Fix Fortran module build on Linux: offload attribute added.
          *Fix entry names for distribute-parallel-loop construct to be consistent with the compiler codegen.
          *Fix an inconsistent error message for KMP_PLACE_THREADS environment variable.
