      Introduce dynamic affinity dispatch capabilities · 1cdd87ad
      Jonathan Peyton authored
      This set of changes enables the affinity interface (Either the preexisting
      native operating system or HWLOC) to be dynamically set at runtime
      initialization. The point of this change is that we were seeing performance
      degradations when using HWLOC. This allows the user to use the old affinity
      mechanisms which on large machines (>64 cores) makes a large difference in
      initialization time.
      
      These changes mostly move affinity code under a small class hierarchy:
      
      KMPAffinity
        class Mask {}
      KMPNativeAffinity : public KMPAffinity
        class Mask : public KMPAffinity::Mask
      KMPHwlocAffinity
        class Mask : public KMPAffinity::Mask
      
      Since all interface functions (for both affinity and the mask implementation)
      are virtual, the implementation can be chosen at runtime initialization.

      Disable monitor thread creation by default. · b66d1aab
      Jonathan Peyton authored
      This change set disables creation of the monitor thread by default.  The global
      counter maintained by the monitor thread was replaced by logic that uses system
      time directly, and cyclic yielding on Linux target was also removed since there
      was no clear benefit of using it. Turning on KMP_USE_MONITOR variable (=1)
      enables creation of monitor thread again if it is really necessary for some
      reasons.

      Teach OpenMP Library to use Hwloc on Windows · 0f3c2b92
      Jonathan Peyton authored
      This patch allows a user to enable Hwloc on windows. There are three main
      changes in here:
      1.kmp.h - Move definitions/declarations out of KMP_OS_WINDOWS guard (our windows
                implementation of affinity) because they need to be defined when
                KMP_USE_HWLOC is on as well.
      2.teach __kmp_set_system_affinity, __kmp_get_system_affinity,
              __kmp_get_proc_group, and __kmp_affinity_bind_thread how to use hwloc.
      3.teach CMake how to include hwloc when building Windows
      
      Another minor change in here is to make sure that anything under KMP_USE_HWLOC
      is also guarded by KMP_AFFINITY_SUPPORTED as well. This is to prevent Mac
      builds from requiring anything from Hwloc.

      Fix for pthread_setspecific (TLS and shutdown) problem · f252010f
      Jonathan Peyton authored
      Some codes that use TLS fail intermittently because one thread tries to write
      TLS values after the TLS key has been destroyed by another thread. This happens
      when one thread executes library shutdown (and destroys TLS keys), while another
      thread starts to execute the TLS key destructor routine. Before this change, the
      kmp_init_runtime flag was checked before calling pthread_* TLS functions, but
      this flag is set to FALSE later than the destruction of the TLS keys, which
      leads to failure. The fix is to check kmp_init_gtid instead, as this flag is
      unset *before* the destruction of TLS keys.

      Fixes to wait-loop code · 3f5dfc25
      Jonathan Peyton authored
      1) Add get_ptr_type() method to all wait flag types.
      2) Flag in sleep_loc may change type by the time the resume is called from
         __kmp_null_resume_wrapper. We use get_ptr_type to obtain the real type
         and compare it to the casted object received. If they don't match, we know
         the flag has changed (already resumed and replaced by another flag). If they
         match, it doesn't hurt to go ahead and resume it.

      Fix some sign compare warnings. · 1e7a1ddc
      Jonathan Peyton authored
      This change changes kmp_bstate.old_tid to sign integer instead of unsigned integer.
      It also defines two new macros KMP_NSEC_PER_SEC and KMP_USEC_PER_SEC which lets us take
      control of the sign (we want them to be longs).  Also, in kmp_wait_release.h, the byteref()
      function's return type is changed from char to unsigned char.

      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.
