This now gets the overall "RefE2E" compilation stack to a point that I'm
fairly happy with. We simplify it by mostly embracing the "descriptor"
view of the world.
The overall flow is best understood by reading through the
createE2ELoweringPipeline function in lib/E2E/E2E.cpp
That function creates a pass pipeline that lowers from "TCF" (which is
~numpy level of abstraction) down to LLVM IR.
A brief high-level summary of what happens there:
1. TCF to TCP conversion. This involves reifying error handling in the
form of shape constraints. See test/Conversion/TCFToTCP/basic.mlir
2. Lowering shape constraints. This converts shape constraints into
eager error-handling code. See test/E2E/lower-shape-constraints.mlir
This pass will soon go upstream.
Because this lowers to std.assert, some later passes like
LowerToNpcomprtABI and LowerToLLVM are updated to properly plumb this
through e2e.
See test/npcomp-run-mlir/invalid-broadcast.mlir for an execution test
that properly aborts in case of an error.
3. Lowering tensors to memrefs. This is done via a series of passes
rather than an single mega conversion. Unlike the previous code that
mixed in the npcomprt ABI stuff here, it's now a very clean "pure
memref" conversion.
See test/E2E/lower-*-to-memref.mlir and
lib/E2E/TensorToMemref/
Most of the changes are concentrated here.
4. As part of the above, we use the upstream ConvertShapeToStandard for
lowering shapes.
5. We lower linalg to loops and lower loops to CFG using upstream
passes.
6. Rewrite the "ABI" boundaries of the program to npcomprt data
structures (LowerToNpcomprtABI). This mainly affects ABI boundaries and
how global tensor constants are represented. One of the major
improvements in this commit is that now it's a very clean rewrite that
just replaces memrefs on ABI boundaries with !npcomprt.tensor (before
there was a get_extent function that is not needed).
See test/E2E/lower-to-npcomprt-abi.mlir
7. Lower to LLVM with upstream mlir patterns + some patterns for the
npcomprt lowerings.
One aspect here that is still a remnant of a non-descriptor-based tensor
to memref flow is the BypassShapes + LowerShapedResultsToMemref.
BypassShapes wraps the "tensor compute" ops in a tcp.shaped_results
(basically a "tie_shape" kind of op), and then
LowerShapedResultsToMemref uses those annotations to allocate output
buffers while lowering the "tensor compute ops". Note that there are
very few "tensor compute" ops currently supported (tcp.add +
tcp.broadcast_to), so we just hardcode them in both passes.
Realistically, I expect this to go away as we fully embrace the
descriptor-based approach for simplicity, so don't look too deep into
it.
* Add a new python script to auto-generate ATen op ODS definitions.
* There is still some work on some of the ops to annotate correct types.
* The ODS is not actually included into the dialect yet, but I'd like to commit it so that we can track changes.
* Will reconcile this with the ops produced by the existing script in a followup. Still need to do some more iteration to reach parity.
* llvm-project: b5924a8e27536d19dd5c4d302db29fb6163d5faa
* mhlo: 848ca244d20f045b7921da55a98a04d95ef94f0e
* Multiple breakages that need to be fixed.
Fixes:
* Refactor dialect registration
* Remove all kindof methods (Casting functionality has been added upstream and is implicitly
available, see https://llvm.discourse.group/t/removing-kinds-from-attributes-and-types/1547.)
* Update dialect registration to comply with https://reviews.llvm.org/D85495.
* Remove type kinds and update some changed dialect signatures.
* Upgrade ATen dialect to match upstream needs.
* Move dialect registration to tablegen.
* Register the ListType in tablegen.
* Change dialect initialization signature.
* Use TypeSwitch in MlirIr location printer.
* Remove global registry depends from npcomp-opt.
* Change LowerToLLVM to pass an MLIRContext vs an LLVMDialect for type creation.
* Remove dep on MLIREDSCInterface that is removed upstream.
* Thread through the DialectRegistry for opt and python-like tools.
* Modernize pass registration (This was forced because the GEN_PASS_REGISTRATION code now generates inline functions vs literal pass registration statements)

This patch adds a dialect intended to be used as a frontend dialect
to facilitate lowering from "A Tensor Library" in torch/pytorch.
This patch includes several passes that are useful in conjuction with the
dialect:
--aten-layer-name: Generates layer names for each operation, which are not
present in the original pytorch.
--aten-to-std: Lower the ATen dialect into standard dialect function calls.
--return-elimination-pass: convert functions (primarily the toplevel function)
to pass return values by reference. This simplifies pytorch integration.
--aten-op-report: generate a textual report about the model
--liveness-report
Future patches will implement actual integration with the pytorch jit to
intercept and generates MLIR in this dialect, then lower the resulting MLIR
into function calls through aten-layer-name -> aten-to-std ->
return-elimination -> std-to-llvm. The result would then jitted using the LLVM
jit, linked against a runtime library which makes calls back into pytorch to
implement all the layers.

* Primarily, the upstream shape dialect now uses tensor<?xindex> for non-erroring, immediate shape calculations (and will return this for shape_of of a tensor or memref).
* In addition, upstream passes do not yet exist for fully lowering to standard ops, so the passes here need to be extended to handle this new convention.
* This should be seen as an intermediate state, necessary to integrate a new LLVM version and needs more work and cleanup for generality.
* There is a good deal of awkwardness in these conversions. The hope is that additional upstream work will yield better defined conversion paths once out of this intermediate state.
This required making module descriptors hold a FuncDescriptor* instead
of a pointer to array of FuncDescriptors as it previously did, which is
innocuous (just requires an llvm.bitcast after the llvm.mlir.addressof).
* Rewrites public function signatures to operate on tensors (vs ndarray).
* Most of our backends presume immutable tensors at public function boundaries.
This ~totally reworks the existing "runtime" stuff to be more
principled and usable, such as from Python. It's still not fully
production-quality, mainly in the department of memory management (e.g.
it currently leaks memory; we need to figure out "who frees memrefs" +
the analysis and transformation needed to do that (maybe use upstream
buffer allocation pass?)).
The user API is in include/npcomp/runtime/UserAPI.h, though
include/npcomp/JITRuntime/JITModule.h is a friendlier wrapper.
The stuff under {include,lib}/runtime is totally firewalled from the
compiler and tiny (<6kB, though no attention has gone into optimizing
that size). For example, we don't link in libSupport into the runtime,
instead having our own bare bones replacements for basics like ArrayRef
(the JITRuntime helps with bridging that gap, since it *can* depend on
all common LLVM utilities).
The overall features of npcomprt is that it exposes a module that
with multiple function entry points. Each function has arguments and
results that are tensor-valued, and npcomprt::Tensor is the runtime type
that is used to interact with that (and a npcomprt::Ref<T>
reference-counting wrapper is provided to wrap npcomprt::Tensor in the
common case).
From an implementation perspective, an npcomprt module at the
LLVM/object/binary level exposes a single module descriptor struct that
has pointers to other metadata (currently just a list of function
metadata descriptors). All interactions with the npcomp runtime are
keyed off of that module descriptor, including function lookups and
dispatching. This is done to dodge platform ABI issues and also allow
enough reflection to e.g. verify provided arguments.
Most of the compiler-side work here was in LowerToNpcomprtABI and
LowerToLLVM.
Also,
- Rename npcomp_rt/NpcompRt to npcomprt/Npcomprt; it was getting
annoying to type the underscores/caps.
- misc improvements to bash_helpers.sh
* This elides the very common code the compiler adds for chaining otherwise tensor-related numpy ops together.
* More aggressive canonicalizations would require more advanced analysis.
* Adds an op interface for adding CPA constraints.
* Adds a type conversion hook for handling built-in types (that we can't have adopt our interface).
* Converts tensor<> to object(!Tensor, [e:<type>]) just like NdArray.
* Implement a few numpy ops far enough to do dtype inference for simple sequences.
* Gets us passed the upstream changes that enable type interfaces.
* Adds the ARM backend due to an implicit IREE dependency sneaking in for that (https://github.com/google/iree/issues/2401)
* Adds explicit TypeStorage to type base classes per upstream change.
* This starts to lay down the infra for reasoning about calls
* Adds the importer code to generate IR for function calls of compiler recognized static functions.
* Adds python bindings for invoking flow, HAL, and VM lowering pipelines.
* Adds pythong bindings for translating to VM module flatbuffer.
* Adds a new backend_test/iree directory and configure lit to find the IREE python rt bindings.
* Open code a simple_invoke.py that exercises the whole pipeline (need real APIs for a lot of this).
* Fails when invoking the function because I never implemented argument marshaling for scalars :(
* Plenty of stuff to do tomorrow.
* Conversions to std for numeric binary expressions, numeric to_boolean, and numeric comparisons.
* Added folders to constant ops to comply with requirements of the pass system.
* Extended the frontend with parameter/result annotation processing for primitives (can specify types for function arguments).
* Added (empty) directory/sources for IREEVM conversions. These are only enabled if IREE is enabled.
* Adds a new to_boolean op to evaluate a value as a truthy i1
* Uses cascading scf.if ops to properly evaluate and/or sequences (short-circuit and original value returning)
* Adds a helper to construct select ops and uses it to implement 'not'
The secret here is LLVM_ENABLE_WARNINGS=ON.
I also fixed a couple warnings, which gets us to be warning-clean.
I noticed also that npcomp-run-mlir/basic.mlir seems to be failing.
Maybe something since the latest integrate. My next commit (introduce
npcomp mini runtime) will largely rewrite it though, so it'll get fixed
then.
