9 // PTX does not have a notion of `unreachable`, which results in emitted basic
10 // blocks having an edge to the next block:
11 //
12 //   block1:
13 //     call @does_not_return();
14 //     // unreachable
15 //   block2:
16 //     // ptxas will create a CFG edge from block1 to block2
17 //
18 // This may result in significant changes to the control flow graph, e.g., when
19 // LLVM moves unreachable blocks to the end of the function. That's a problem
20 // in the context of divergent control flow, as `ptxas` uses the CFG to
21 // determine divergent regions, and some intructions may not be executed
22 // divergently.
23 //
24 // For example, `bar.sync` is not allowed to be executed divergently on Pascal
25 // or earlier. If we start with the following:
26 //
27 //   entry:
28 //     // start of divergent region
29 //     @%p0 bra cont;
30 //     @%p1 bra unlikely;
31 //     ...
32 //     bra.uni cont;
33 //   unlikely:
34 //     ...
35 //     // unreachable
36 //   cont:
37 //     // end of divergent region
38 //     bar.sync 0;
39 //     bra.uni exit;
40 //   exit:
41 //     ret;
42 //
43 // it is transformed by the branch-folder and block-placement passes to:
44 //
45 //   entry:
46 //     // start of divergent region
47 //     @%p0 bra cont;
48 //     @%p1 bra unlikely;
49 //     ...
50 //     bra.uni cont;
51 //   cont:
52 //     bar.sync 0;
53 //     bra.uni exit;
54 //   unlikely:
55 //     ...
56 //     // unreachable
57 //   exit:
58 //     // end of divergent region
59 //     ret;
60 //
61 // After moving the `unlikely` block to the end of the function, it has an edge
62 // to the `exit` block, which widens the divergent region and makes the
63 // `bar.sync` instruction happen divergently.
64 //
65 // To work around this, we add an `exit` instruction before every `unreachable`,
66 // as `ptxas` understands that exit terminates the CFG. We do only do this if
67 // `unreachable` is not lowered to `trap`, which has the same effect (although
68 // with current versions of `ptxas` only because it is emited as `trap; exit;`).
