Subject: [PATCH 1/5] [DirectX] Start documenting DXIL Resource handling
This adds a new document about DXIL Resource Handling. I've attempted
to describe here how we intend to use TargetExtTypes to represent
resources in LLVM IR and the various intrinsics we'll need to lower
these through LLVM to DXIL.
There are a number of TODOs in the document, but I think it makes
sense to publish as is and evolve it as we start implementing this.

+
+Introduction
+============
+
+Resources in DXIL are represented via ``TargetExtType`` in LLVM IR and
+eventually lowered by the DirectX backend into metadata in DXIL.
+
+In DXC and DXIL, static resources are represented as lists of SRVs (Shader
+Resource Views), UAVs (Uniform Access Views), CBVs (Constant Bffer Views), and
+Samplers. This metadata consists of a "resource record ID" which uniquely
+identifies a resource and type information. As of shader model 6.6, there are
+also dynamic resources, which forgo the metadata and are described via
+``annotateHandle`` operations in the instruction stream instead.
+
+In LLVM we attempt to unify some of the alternative representations that are
+present in DXC, with the aim of making handling of resources in the middle end
+of the compiler simpler and more consistent.
+
+Resource Type Information and Properties
+========================================
+
+There are a number of properties associated with a resource in DXIL.
+
+`Resource ID`
+ An arbitrary ID that must be unique per resource type (SRV, UAV, etc).
+
+ In LLVM we don't bother representing this, instead opting to generate it at
+ DXIL lowering time.
+
+`Binding information`
+ Information about where the resource comes from. This is either (a) a
+ binding space, lower bound in that space, and size of the binding, or (b) an
+ index into a dynamic resource heap.
+
+ In LLVM we represent binding information in the arguments of the
+ :ref:`handle creation intrinsics <dxil-resources-handles>`. When generating
+ DXIL we transform these calls to metadata, ``dx.op.createHandle``,
+ ``dx.op.createHandleFromBinding``, ``dx.op.createHandleFromHeap``, and
+ ``dx.op.createHandleForLib`` as needed.
+
+`Type information`
+ The type of data that's accessible via the resource. For buffers and
+ textures this can be a simple type like ``float`` or ``float4``, a struct,
+ or raw bytes. For constant buffers this is just a size. For samplers this is
+ the kind of sampler.
+
+ In LLVM we embed this information as a parameter on the ``target()`` type of
+ the resource. See :ref:`dxil-resources-types-of-resource`.
+
+`Resource kind information`
+ The kind of resource. In HLSL we have things like ``ByteAddressBuffer``,
+ ``RWTexture2D``, and ``RasterizerOrderedStructuredBuffer``. These map to a
+ set of DXIL kinds like ``RawBuffer`` and ``Texture2D`` with fields for
+ certain properties such as ``IsUAV`` and ``IsROV``.
+
+ In LLVM we represent this in the ``target()`` type. We omit information
+ that's deriveable from the type information, but we do have fields to encode
+ ``IsWriteable``, ``IsROV``, and ``SampleCount`` when needed.
+
+.. note:: TODO: There are two fields in the DXIL metadata that are not
+ represented as part of the target type: ``IsGloballyCoherent`` and
+ ``HasCounter``.
+
+ Since these are derived from analysis, storing them on the type would mean
+ we need to change the type during the compiler pipeline. That just isn't
+ practical. It isn't entirely clear to me that we need to serialize this info
+ into the IR during the compiler pipeline anyway - we can probably get away
+ with an analysis pass that can calculate the information when we need it.
+
+ If analysis is insufficient we'll need something akin to ``annotateHandle``
+ (but limited to these two properties) or to encode these in the handle
+ creation.
+
+.. _dxil-resources-types-of-resource:
+
+Types of Resource
+=================
+
+We define a set of ``TargetExtTypes`` that is similar to the HLSL
+representations for the various resources, albeit with a few things
+parameterized. This is different than DXIL, as simplifying the types to
+something like "dx.srv" and "dx.uav" types would mean the operations on these
+types would have to be overly generic.
+
+Samplers
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: llvm
+
+ target("dx.Sampler", SamplerType)
+
+The "dx.Sampler" type is used to represent sampler state. The sampler type is
+an enum value from the DXIL ABI, and these appear in sampling operations as
+well as LOD calculations and texture gather.
+
+Constant Buffers
+----------------
+
+.. code-block:: llvm
+
+ target("dx.CBuffer", BufferSize)
+
+The "dx.CBuffer" type is a constant buffer of the given size. Note that despite
+the name this is distinct from the buffer types, and can only be read using the
+"dx.CBufferLoad" and "dx.CBufferLoadLegacy" operations.
+
+Buffers
+-------
+
+.. code-block:: llvm
+
+ target("dx.Buffer", ElementType, IsWriteable, IsROV)
+
+There is only one buffer type. This can represent both UAVs and SRVs via the
+``IsWriteable`` field. Since the type that's encoded is an llvm type, it
+handles both ``Buffer`` and ``StructuredBuffer`` uniformly. For ``RawBuffer``,
+the type is ``i8``, which is unambiguous since ``char`` isn't a legal type in
+HLSL.
+
+These types are generally used by BufferLoad and BufferStore operations, as
+well as atomics.
+
+There are a few fields to describe variants of all of these types:
+
+.. list-table:: Buffer Fields
+ :header-rows: 1
+
+ * - Field
+ - Description
+ * - ElementType
+ - Type for a single element, such as ``i8``, ``v4f32``, or a structure
+ type.
+ * - IsWriteable
+ - Whether or not the field is writeable. This distinguishes SRVs (not
+ writeable) and UAVs (writeable).
+ * - IsROV
+ - Whether the UAV is a rasterizer ordered view. Always ``0`` for SRVs.
+
+Textures
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: llvm
+
+ target("dx.Texture1D", ElementType, IsWriteable, IsROV)
+ target("dx.Texture1D", ...)
+ target("dx.Texture1DArray", ...)
+ target("dx.Texture2D", ...)
+ target("dx.Texture2DArray", ...)
+ target("dx.Texture3D", ...)
+ target("dx.TextureCUBE", ...)
+ target("dx.TextureCUBEArray", ...)
+
+ target("dx.Texture2DMS", ElementType, IsWriteable, IsROV, SampleCount)
+ target("dx.Texture2DMSArray", ...)
+
+ target("dx.FeedbackTexture2D", ElementType, IsWriteable, IsROV, FeedbackType)
+ target("dx.FeedbackTexture2DArray", ...)
+
+There are a number of texture types, but they are mostly interestingly
+different in their dimensions. These are distinct so that we can overload the
+various sample and texture load/store operations such that their parameters are
+appropriate to the type.
+
+.. list-table:: Buffer Fields
+ :header-rows: 1
+
+ * - Field
+ - Description
+ * - ElementType
+ - Type for a single element, such as ``i8``, ``v4f32``, or a structure
+ type.
+ * - IsWriteable
+ - Whether or not the field is writeable. This distinguishes SRVs (not
+ writeable) and UAVs (writeable).
+ * - SampleCount
+ - Sample count for a multisampled texture.
+ * - FeedbackType
+ - Feedback type for a feedback texture.
+
+.. note:: TODO: Should dimensions be specified as a type?
+
+ We could probably get rid of the 1D/2D/etc distinctions...
+
+Raytracing Resources
+--------------------
+
+.. code-block:: llvm
+
+ target("dx.RTAccelerationStructure")
+
+.. note:: TODO: Describe RTAccelerationStructure
+
+Resource Operations
+===================
+
+.. _dxil-resources-handles:
+
+Resource Handles
+----------------
+
+We provide a few different ways to instantiate resources in the IR via the
+``llvm.dx.handle.*`` intrinsics. These intrinsics are overloaded on return
+type, returning an appropriate handle for the resource, and represent binding
+information in the arguments to the intrinsic.
+
+The three operations we need are ``llvm.dx.handle.fromBinding``,
+``llvm.dx.handle.fromHeap``, and ``llvm.dx.handle.fromPointer``. These are
+rougly equivalent to the DXIL operations ``dx.op.createHandleFromBinding``,
+``dx.op.createHandleFromHeap``, and ``dx.op.createHandleForLib``, but they fold
+the subsequent ``dx.op.annotateHandle`` operation in. Note that we don't have
+an analogue for `dx.op.createHandle`_, since ``dx.op.createHandleFromBinding``
+subsumes it.
+
+.. _dx.op.createHandle: https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXShaderCompiler/blob/main/docs/DXIL.rst#resource-handles
+
+.. list-table:: ``@llvm.dx.handle.fromBinding``

+ - Description
+ * - Return value
+ -
+ - A ``target()`` type
+ - A handle which can be operated on
+ * - ``%bind_space``
+ - 1
+ - ``i32``
+ - Bind space ID in the root signature for this resource.
+ * - ``%lower_bound``
+ - 2
+ - ``i32``
+ - Lower bound of the binding in its bind space.
+ * - ``%range_size``
+ - 3
+ - ``i32``
+ - Range size of the binding.
+ * - ``%index``
+ - 4
+ - ``i32``
+ - Index of the resource to access.
+ * - ``%non-uniform``
+ - 5
+ - i1
+ - Must be ``true`` if the resource index may be non-uniform.
+
+.. note:: TODO: Can we drop the uniformity bit? I suspect we can derive it from
+ uniformity analysis...

+
+Buffer Loads and Stores
+-----------------------
+
+*relevant types: Buffers*
+
+We separate loading from buffers into two operations, ``llvm.dx.bufferLoad``
+and ``llvm.dx.bufferLoadComponent``. Store operations consist of their inverse,
+``llvm.dx.bufferStore`` and ``llvm.dx.bufferStoreComponent``. These map to the
+DXIL `rawBufferLoad`_ and `rawBufferStore`_ operations (and their older non-raw
+counterparts).
+
+We opt for two different intrinsics to best support the two main ways of
+accessing buffer data.
+
+The ``llvm.dx.bufferLoad`` intrinsic can return either a single element of a
+buffer or a vector of consecutive elements. This makes accessing buffers of
+scalars and simple vectors like `float4` simple, and is also convenient when
+loading an entire `struct`. The variant with a vector of elements returned is
+most useful for raw buffers, where we can load a number of bytes and `bitcast`
+to the appropriate type, but can also be used to preserve the information that
+we're loading data in bulk if needed.
+
+The ``llvm.dx.bufferLoadComponent`` intrinsic has an extra index so that it can
+be used to access specific struct elements or a particular component of a
+simple vector type, like ``x`` of a ``float4``. This API gives the same
+flexibility as the DXIL ``rawBufferLoad`` operation, but in a slightly more
+readable way since it avoids ``undef`` values and bit masks, as well as using
+an index instead of a byte offset.
+
+The types involved in the store intrinsics match the load intrinsics.
+
+When lowering these to the DXIL operations we need to pay attention to the DXIL
+version and the type of data in the buffer. Post DXIL 1.2 structured and byte
+address (or raw) buffers prefer RawBufferLoad and Store, whereas TypedBuffer
+always uses BufferLoad and Store. For the raw operations, we need to provide an
+alignment, but this can be derived from the buffer types in the LLVM
+intrinsics.
+
+.. note:: TODO: Can we always derive the alignment late, or do we need to
+ parametrize these ops?
+
+.. _rawBufferLoad: https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXShaderCompiler/blob/main/docs/DXIL.rst#rawbufferload
+.. _rawBufferStore: https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXShaderCompiler/blob/main/docs/DXIL.rst#rawbufferstore
+
+.. note:: TODO: We need to account for `CheckAccessFullyMapped`_ here.
+
+ In DXIL the load operations always return an ``i32`` status value, but this
+ isn't very ergonomic when it isn't used. We can (1) bite the bullet and have
+ the loads return `{%ret_type, %i32}` all the time, (2) create a variant or
+ update the signature iff the status is used, or (3) hide this in a sideband
+ channel somewhere. I'm leaning towards (2), but could probably be convinced
+ that the ugliness of (1) is worth the simplicity.

+ target("dx.Buffer", {i32, f32}, 0, 0) %buf, i32 %index, i32 1, f32 %data)
+
+Constant Buffer Loads
+---------------------
+
+*relevant types: CBuffer*
+
+Loading from constant buffers is relatively straightforward, and we model it
+with a single intrinsic, `llvm.dx.cbufferLoad`. Similarly to how we handle
+``bufferLoad``, we allow the intrinsic to load a scalar or a vector of
+consecutive values as needed.
+
+In DXIL there are two operations that load from a constant buffer -
+`cBufferLoad`_ and ` and `cbufferLoadLegacy`_. These names can be confusing
+because only ``cbufferLoadLegacy`` is widely supported by drivers. The "legacy"
+op loads 16 bytes of data from the buffer, which is generally 4 32-bit values
+or 2 64-bit values, whereas the largely unsupported replacement loads a scalar
+directly. These differences are minor and we can easily lower to either from
+our own generic intrinsic.
+
+.. _cbufferLoadLegacy: https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXShaderCompiler/blob/main/docs/DXIL.rst#cbufferloadlegacy

+ target("dx.CBuffer", 16) %cbuffer, i32 0)
+
+.. note:: TODO: Again, do we need alignment or can we rely on types here?
+
+Texture Load and Store
+----------------------
+
+*relevant types: Textures*
+
+.. note:: TODO: The texture load and store operations in DXIL have *a lot* of
+ parameters, and they use an awkward trick where which ones are valid
+ and which *must* be ``undef`` depends on the texture type. I'd rather
+ not copy that approach.
+
+ We have a few options:
+
+ 1. Encode the dimensions into the operation in a way similar to the
+ approach described below in the ``GetDimensions`` section. I
+ showed that approach there because here is a bit less tractable.
+ 2. Encode the dimensions as types on the ``dx.Texture`` target type.
+ This gives us uniform structure of the operations at the expense
+ of them being more awkward to work with.
+
+GetDimensions
+-------------
+
+*relevant types: All Texture and Buffer types*
+
+.. note:: TODO: This approach needs discussion. See the commentary in texture
+ loads and stores above.
+
+Looking up a resource's dimensions is done via a family of ``GetDimensions``
+intrinsics. The equivalent `DXIL operation <GetDimensions_>`_ returns ``{ i32,
+i32, i32, 32 }`` regardless of which dimensions are relevant for the resource,
+which can be confusing. Instead, we define variants of the form
+``GetDimensions.xyzsm`` where the returned elements are represented by an
+initial:
+
+- ``x`` is width
+- ``y`` is height
+- ``z`` is array size for 1D or 2D arrays, or depth for 3D textures
+- ``s`` is number of samples in a multisampled texture
+- ``m`` is the number of MIP levels in a mipmapped texture
+
+The set of variants is not dynamic - these initials are always specified in
+this order and there are exactly 10 valid configurations.

-Looking up a resource's dimensions is done via a family of ``GetDimensions``
-intrinsics. The equivalent `DXIL operation <GetDimensions_>`_ returns ``{ i32,
-i32, i32, 32 }`` regardless of which dimensions are relevant for the resource,
-which can be confusing. Instead, we define variants of the form
-``GetDimensions.xyzsm`` where the returned elements are represented by an
-initial:
-
-- ``x`` is width
-- ``y`` is height
-- ``z`` is array size for 1D or 2D arrays, or depth for 3D textures
-- ``s`` is number of samples in a multisampled texture
-- ``m`` is the number of MIP levels in a mipmapped texture
-
-The set of variants is not dynamic - these initials are always specified in
-this order and there are exactly 10 valid configurations.
