+#### HLSL Intrinsics
+
+When targeting SPIR-V, Clang lowers HLSL builtin functions to LLVM IR calls that
+the SPIR-V backend recognizes. The backend then selects the corresponding core
+SPIR-V instruction, extended instruction, or instruction sequence. The regression
+tests in `llvm/test/CodeGen/SPIRV/hlsl-intrinsics` show the currently supported
+lowerings.
+
+Some representative HLSL intrinsic mappings are:
+
+```{list-table} HLSL Intrinsic Lowering Examples
+:widths: 20 30 50
+:header-rows: 1
+
+   * - HLSL intrinsic
+     - LLVM IR representation
+     - SPIR-V lowering
+   * - `any`
+     - `llvm.spv.any.*`
+     - Scalar numeric values are compared with zero. Boolean vectors lower to
+       `OpAny`; numeric vectors are first compared elementwise with zero and the
+       resulting boolean vector is reduced with `OpAny`.
+   * - `all`
+     - `llvm.spv.all.*`
+     - Scalar numeric values are compared with zero. Boolean vectors lower to
+       `OpAll`; numeric vectors are first compared elementwise with zero and the
+       resulting boolean vector is reduced with `OpAll`.
+   * - `lerp`
+     - `llvm.spv.lerp.*`
+     - Floating-point scalar and vector forms lower to the GLSL extended
+       instruction `FMix` from `GLSL.std.450`.
