In `PPCGCodeGeneration`, we try to take the references of every `Value` that is used within a Scop to offload to the kernel. This occurs in `GPUNodeBuilder::createLaunchParameters`. This breaks if one of the values is a function pointer, since one of these cases will trigger: 1. We try to to take the references of an intrinsic function, and this breaks at `verifyModule`, since it is illegal to take the reference of an intrinsic. 2. We manage to take the reference to a function, but this fails at `verifyModule` since the function will not be present in the module that is created in the kernel. 3. Even if `verifyModule` succeeds (which should not occur), we would then try to call a *host function* from the *device*, which is illegal runtime behaviour. So, we disable this entire range of possibilities by simply not allowing function references within a `Scop` which corresponds to a kernel. However, note that this is too conservative. We *can* allow intrinsics within kernels if the backend can lower the intrinsic correctly. For example, an intrinsic like `llvm.powi.*` can actually be lowered by the `NVPTX` backend. We will now gradually whitelist intrinsics which are known to be safe. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D33414 llvm-svn: 305185 |
