Changes:
- finalizing-bufferize is stricter now, and we need to pull in a DimOp
bufferization which was previously working by happenstance. The
offending DimOp's are actually created by the linalg bufferization
(which creates dim ops on the original tensor values, not the
converted memrefs), so the fix is moving std-bufferize after
linalg-bufferize.
Best as I can tell (e.g. from LeakSanitizer), this fixes all the leaks
except for those due to buffers created internally to the codegenned
code itself (up next I'll add the buffer deallocation pass to fix
those).
The main change is that instead of attempting to pass `refbackrt::Tensor`
to the codegenned function directly, we make all the ABI types be
UnrankedMemRef which gets passed awkwardly (but workably) as a
`{size_t rank, void *ptrToDescriptor}` on the ABI. The reason why
refbackrt::Tensor wasn't workable is that is that MLIR doesn't really
have a way to deal with the lifetime of unranked memref descriptors that
happen inside the function, which is inevitably what would happen in the
old code that would emit runtime calls to
`refbackrt.to_memref/refbackrt.from_memref` to convert back and forth to
`refbackrt::Tensor` inside the codegenned code.
So, instead of the `refbackrt.to_memref/refbackrt.from_memref` with no
real sound basis for valid lifetime management, we now have a lovely
piece of code in `refbackrt::invoke` in `Runtime.cpp` that just barely
seems to be sound. We rely on the codegenned code having these
properties, which it seems to have:
- it won't free memref descriptors or their backing buffer for arguments
of UnrankedMemRef type.
- it will allocate a separate memref descriptor for each result
UnrankedMemRef (which is ensured by having a separate memref_cast for
each)
- we can sniff the `allocatedPtr`'s (i.e. the backing buffer pointers)
to avoid double-freeing in the case of aliasing of the backing buffer
(including backing buffers for arguments feeding into results)
- to catch the case of statically allocated data (which we need to avoid
passing to `free`) , check if the `allocatedPtr` is (no joke) equal to
`0xDEADBEEF`, because there is otherwise no way to distinguish
statically allocated from malloc'ed data... (std.global_memref lowering
to LLVM by happenstance sets the allocatedPtr equal to `0xDEADBEEF`,
presumably mainly as a debugging thing)
Even with all this, we *still* need to (internally to refbackrt::invoke)
make copies of all inputs/outputs! And the details of how the LLVM-level
ABI gets laid out for e.g. function arguments/returns is still super
tricky.
This really highlights how deficient memref is as the general runtime
type for our use case. It's stewing in my mind how best to improve the
situation. My general gut feeling is that IREE's abstractions for this
are "right", but I need to think more how to distill those aspects of
IREE's design in a "reference" way for RefBackend.
Some implementation notes:
- In terms of how this is implemented, this did catch a bug in our ABI
wrapper functions in LowerToLLVM.cpp, which I had to fix (it happened to
work before through some combination of npcomprt::Tensor being passed as
a single pointer + probably me infinite-monkey-ing it until it worked)
- This actually removes 2 out of the 3 compiler runtime functions (the
only one left is "abort_if". (most of the memref descriptor code moved
from CopmilerRuntime.cpp to Runtime.cpp)
- this also means deleting `refbackrt.from_memref` and
`refbackrt.to_memref`
Although `refCount` is initialized as `std::atomic<int> refCount{0};` in
the definition of Tensor, our tail-allocating malloc would ignore it,
resulting in bogus values that led to leaks.
Caught with LeakSanitizer, but I added an assertion that the refcount is
non-negative to begin with, which should catch this bug in the future
fairly consistently (assuming the garbage refcount is negative half the
time).
It was annoying that we were creating shape.get_extent in the middle of
the bufferization pipeline, as it required running convert-shape-to-std
at an awkward place. To make that cleaner, just open-code the
extract_element ops that shape.get_extent expands into.
This is a little gross, but it helps with the macroscopic pipeline
ordering issues. Anyway, the train is long-gone of trying to treat
shapes as some special data type that should only be operated on with
shape ops.
Also,
- reorder tensor constant bufferize (which is a module pass) to bracket
all the bufferization function passes, to make the parallelism
opportunities there clearer. Now we have a very clean little
bufferization segment of our pipeline construction.
This vastly simplifies our code, allowing deleting multiple ops,
simplifying multiple passes, and removing a whole pass.
Now `refback` dialect is down to one op (refback.alloc_memref, which
simplifies allocations to just take a shape instead of individual
extents).
* A bit gross because I took the chance to upgrade all of the backend bits to the new MLIR Python bindings and we still co-mingle the old and new for now.
* Since the Python created PassManagers are configured for explicit nesting, I had to upgrade some of the pass pipelines to be explicit.
* The demo in mul_maximum_e2e.py now compiles, runs through PyTorch and through the JIT, prints and asserts the same results.
* I am not claiming that this is the prettiest API in this patch: consider that this is just directly using low-level APIs and there should be an intervening high level API.
This involved adding a `tcp.splatted` op to splat a dynamically sized
init tensor. See rationale in TCPOps.td docs.
One interesting observation is that when lowering tcf.matmul to
linalg.matmul, we need to both 1) create the error checks and 2)
calculate a shape transfer function to create the init tensors.
Previously, 2) was deferred to bufferizing tcp.matmul later. I'm not
sure if this is a conflation of concerns or not. For now, it's not a big
burden.
Now, the only bufferization we have left is lowering tensor constants to
memref, which will hopefully proceed soon after Rahul's new
std.global_memref lands + the lowering to LLVM IR. Then I'll port
LowerConstantTensorsToMemref to upstream and we'll be 100% upstream
bufferization, except for our local TCP dialect (which will probably go
away and be replaced by std elementwise + linalg named ops on tensors :)
).
The time has come for BypassShapes/LowerShapedResultsToMemref to go away :(
For the reference backend, being consistent with upstream conventions is
the name of the game now.
This is a step down in a number of ways, e.g. test clarity and
separation of concerns. But it is fewer files and fewer tests, and
*does* address the "TODO: This is really fragile". It also eliminates two
more ops from the refback dialect (sadly, they are the
shaped_results/yield that we were getting kind of fond of, but alas).
Now that it has grown source/target materialization capabilities
(spelled with ops tensor_load/tensor_to_memref), we can use it. We can
also now delete refback.memref_to_tensor/refback.tensor_to_memref.
This is also a first step to reducing the downstream functionality
needed in the refback dialect.
Now the reference backend is cleanly accepts "TCP"+scalar ops.
We introduce tcf-refback-lowering-pipeline which also does TCF->TCP
conversion for convenience until we have a "target interface".
* Need to have a dag of shared library deps in order to interop across python extensions (as presented in ODM).
* Introduced add_npcomp_library and friends to mirror the MLIR setup.
* Adds a libNPCOMP.so shared library.
* Redirects tools and extensions to link against libNPCOMP.so (instead of static libs).
* Moves all libraries to lib/, all binaries to bin/ and all python extensions to python/. The invariant is that the rpaths are setup to have a one level directory structure.
* Reworks the _torch_mlir extension to build like the others (still need to come up with a consolidated rule to do this instead of open coded).
* Includes an upstream version bump to pick up needed changes.
Sizes with dynamic linking (stripped, release, asserts enabled):
libNPCOMP.so: 43M (includes much of the underlying LLVM codegen deps)
libMLIR.so: 31M
_npcomp.so: 1.6M (python extension)
_torch_mlir.so: 670K (python extension)
npcomp-capi-ir-test: 6.3K
npcomp-opt: 351K
npcomp-run-mlir: 461K
mnist-playground: 530K
Still more can be done to normalize and optimize but this gets us structurally to the starting point.
I now realize that VerboseCamelCase is not the best choice for dialect
directory/file names and C++ identifiers (take e.g. "Linalg", "Basicpy",
etc. as prior art here; not LinearAlgebra or BasicPython). If I had to
name the convention it seems to be "Shortword" (or of course just
acronym dialects like LLVM, SCF, etc.).
This rename also has the side benefit of differentiating RefBackend
directories, which now refer to the actual backend itself, from
Refback/Refbackrt, which are the dialects which happen to be used by
that backend.
Other than the dialect definitions (which will live in standard Dialect/
subdirectory), the goal here is to keep RefBackend-related code nested
in {include/npcomp,lib,test}/RefBackend.
