      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.

      Add initial CMake build system · 7198f529
      Alp Toker authored
      This is not yet supported for production builds but can already produce working
      binaries on OS X and Linux with clang and gcc.
      
      The intention is to improve support to the point where it can integrate with
      the LLVM runtime platform, cover all platforms, runtime/release build
      configurations and run the tests.

      Add support for FreeBSD · 763b9396
      Alp Toker authored
      Port the OpenMP runtime to FreeBSD along with associated build system changes.
      
      Also begin to generalize affinity capabilities so they aren't tied explicitly
      to Windows and Linux.
      
      The port builds with stock clang and gmake and has no additional runtime
      dependencies.
      
      All but a handful of the validation suite tests are now passing on FreeBSD 10
      x86_64.

      Fix clang compiler detection on OS X · c5df02fa
      Alp Toker authored
      check-tools.pl was hard-wired to expect the Apple compiler version string which
      doesn't make much sense, especially for a LLVM project.
      
      The correctness and value of these compiler version checks still isn't clear
      following this build fix but they are retained for now.

      clang build fix: don't check for gnu tools by default · 0032b4d5
      Alp Toker authored
      gcc/g++ don't exist on modern OS X development environments so the failed
      checks for gcc were causing the build to break even with 'make compiler=clang'.
      
      (The rationale for the check refers to a file 'touch-test.c' which no longer
      exists in the codebase.)
