GCN: The original meaning of 'GCN_SUPPRESS_HOST_FALLBACK' isn't applicable...
GCN: The original meaning of 'GCN_SUPPRESS_HOST_FALLBACK' isn't applicable (non-shared memory system) 'GCN_SUPPRESS_HOST_FALLBACK' originated as 'HSA_SUPPRESS_HOST_FALLBACK' in the libgomp HSA plugin, where the idea was -- in my understanding -- that you wouldn't have device code available for all functions that may be called, and in that case transparently (shared memory system!) do host-fallback execution. Or, with 'HSA_SUPPRESS_HOST_FALLBACK' set, you'd get those diagnosed. This has then been copied into the libgomp GCN plugin as 'GCN_SUPPRESS_HOST_FALLBACK'. However, the original meaning isn't applicable for the libgomp GCN plugin anymore: we assume that we're generating device code for all relevant functions, and we're implementing a non-shared memory system, where we cannot transparently do host-fallback execution for individual functions. However, 'GCN_SUPPRESS_HOST_FALLBACK' has gained an additional meaning, to enforce a fatal error in case that 'libhsa-runtime64.so.1' can't be dynamically loaded; keep that meaning. libgomp/ * plugin/plugin-gcn.c (GOMP_OFFLOAD_can_run): Don't consider 'GCN_SUPPRESS_HOST_FALLBACK' anymore (assume always-'true'). (init_hsa_context): Adjust 'GCN_SUPPRESS_HOST_FALLBACK' error message.
