The AMDGPU backend
------------------
-The AMDGPU code generator lives in the lib/Target/AMDGPU directory, and is an
-open source native AMD GCN ISA code generator.
-
-Target triples supported
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The following are the known target triples that are supported by the AMDGPU
-backend.
-
-* **amdgcn--** --- AMD GCN GPUs (AMDGPU.7.0.0+)
-* **amdgcn--amdhsa** --- AMD GCN GPUs (AMDGPU.7.0.0+) with HSA support
-* **r600--** --- AMD GPUs HD2XXX-HD6XXX
-
-Relocations
-^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Supported relocatable fields are:
-
-* **word32** --- This specifies a 32-bit field occupying 4 bytes with arbitrary
- byte alignment. These values use the same byte order as other word values in
- the AMD GPU architecture
-* **word64** --- This specifies a 64-bit field occupying 8 bytes with arbitrary
- byte alignment. These values use the same byte order as other word values in
- the AMD GPU architecture
-
-Following notations are used for specifying relocation calculations:
-
-* **A** --- Represents the addend used to compute the value of the relocatable
- field
-* **G** --- Represents the offset into the global offset table at which the
- relocation entry’s symbol will reside during execution.
-* **GOT** --- Represents the address of the global offset table.
-* **P** --- Represents the place (section offset or address) of the storage unit
- being relocated (computed using ``r_offset``)
-* **S** --- Represents the value of the symbol whose index resides in the
- relocation entry
-
-AMDGPU Backend generates *Elf64_Rela* relocation records with the following
-supported relocation types:
-
- ========================== ===== ========== ==============================
- Relocation type Value Field Calculation
- ========================== ===== ========== ==============================
- ``R_AMDGPU_NONE`` 0 ``none`` ``none``
- ``R_AMDGPU_ABS32_LO`` 1 ``word32`` (S + A) & 0xFFFFFFFF
- ``R_AMDGPU_ABS32_HI`` 2 ``word32`` (S + A) >> 32
- ``R_AMDGPU_ABS64`` 3 ``word64`` S + A
- ``R_AMDGPU_REL32`` 4 ``word32`` S + A - P
- ``R_AMDGPU_REL64`` 5 ``word64`` S + A - P
- ``R_AMDGPU_ABS32`` 6 ``word32`` S + A
- ``R_AMDGPU_GOTPCREL`` 7 ``word32`` G + GOT + A - P
- ``R_AMDGPU_GOTPCREL32_LO`` 8 ``word32`` (G + GOT + A - P) & 0xFFFFFFFF
- ``R_AMDGPU_GOTPCREL32_HI`` 9 ``word32`` (G + GOT + A - P) >> 32
- ``R_AMDGPU_REL32_LO`` 10 ``word32`` (S + A - P) & 0xFFFFFFFF
- ``R_AMDGPU_REL32_HI`` 11 ``word32`` (S + A - P) >> 32

+The AMDGPU code generator lives in the ``lib/Target/AMDGPU``
+directory. This code generator is capable of targeting a variety of
+AMD GPU processors. Refer to :doc:`AMDGPUUsage` for more information.
