      Renaming change: 41 -> 45 and 4.1 -> 4.5 · df6818be
      Jonathan Peyton authored
      OpenMP 4.1 is now OpenMP 4.5.  Any mention of 41 or 4.1 is replaced with
      45 or 4.5.  Also, if the CMake option LIBOMP_OMP_VERSION is 41, CMake warns that
      41 is deprecated and to use 45 instead.

      kmp_lock.h: Fix VS2013 build after r271324 · 5b89fbc8
      Hans Wennborg authored
      MSVC doesn't allow std::atomic<>s in a union since they don't have trivial
      copy constructor. Replacing them with e.g. std::atomic_int works, but that
      breaks the GCC build on Linux, because then calls to e.g. std::atomic_load_explicit
      fail, as they expect a real std::atomic<> pointer.
      
      Fixing this with an #ifdef to unbreak the build for now.

      Use C++11 atomics for ticket locks implementation · f7cc6aff
      Paul Osmialowski authored
      This patch replaces use of compiler builtin atomics with
      C++11 atomics for ticket locks implementation. Ticket locks
      are used in critical places of the runtime, e.g. in the tasking
      mechanism.
      
      The main reason this change was introduced is the problem
      with work stealing function on ARM architecture which suffered
      from nasty race condition. It turned out that the root cause of
      the problem lies in the way ticket locks are implemented. Changing
      compiler builtins into C++11 atomics solves the problem.
      
      Two assertions were added into kmp_tasking.c which are useful
      for detecting early symptoms of something wrong going on with
      work stealing, which were among the possible outcomes of the
      race condition.

      Exponential back off logic for test-and-set lock · 377aa40d
      Jonathan Peyton authored
      This change adds back off logic in the test and set lock for better contended
      lock performance. It uses a simple truncated binary exponential back off
      function. The default back off parameters are tuned for x86.
      
      The main back off logic has a two loop structure where each is controlled by a
      user-level parameter:
      max_backoff - limits the outer loop number of iterations.
          This parameter should be a power of 2.
      min_ticks - the inner spin wait loop number of "ticks" which is system
          dependent and should be tuned for your system if you so choose.
          The "ticks" on x86 correspond to the time stamp counter,
          but on other architectures ticks is a timestamp derived
          from gettimeofday().
      
      The user can modify these via the environment variable:
      KMP_SPIN_BACKOFF_PARAMS=max_backoff[,min_ticks]
      Currently, since the default user lock is a queuing lock,
      one would have to also specify KMP_LOCK_KIND=tas to use the test-and-set locks.

      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

      Hinted lock (OpenMP 4.5 feature) Updates/Fixes Part 2 · dae13d81
      Jonathan Peyton authored
      * Added a new user TSX lock implementation, RTM, This implementation is a
        light-weight version of the adaptive lock implementation, omitting the
        back-off logic for deciding when to specualte (or not). The fall-back lock is
        still the queuing lock.
      * Changed indirect lock table management. The data for indirect lock management
        was encapsulated in the "kmp_indirect_lock_table_t" type. Also, the lock table
        dimension was changed to 2D (was linear), and each entry is a
        kmp_indirect_lock_t object now (was a pointer to an object).
      * Some clean up in the critical section code
      * Removed the limits of the tuning parameters read from KMP_ADAPTIVE_LOCK_PROPS
      * KMP_USE_DYNAMIC_LOCK=1 also turns on these two switches:
        KMP_USE_TSX, KMP_USE_ADAPTIVE_LOCKS

      [OMPT] Add OMPT events for API locking · 0e6d4577
      Jonathan Peyton authored
      This fix implements the following OMPT events for the API locking routines:
      * ompt_event_acquired_lock
      * ompt_event_acquired_nest_lock_first
      * ompt_event_acquired_nest_lock_next
      * ompt_event_init_lock
      * ompt_event_init_nest_lock
      * ompt_event_destroy_lock
      * ompt_event_destroy_nest_lock
      
      For the acquired events the depths of the locks ist required, so a return value
      was added similiar to the return values we already have for the release lock
      routines.

      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.
