msg — LLVM 22.1.1 documentation

# msg

A 16-bit message code. The bits of this operand have the following meaning:

> Bits | Description | Value Range
> --- | --- | ---
> 3:0 | Message type. | 0..15
> 6:4 | Optional operation. | 0..7
> 7:7 | Unused. | -
> 9:8 | Optional stream. | 0..3
> 15:10 | Unused. | -

This operand may be specified as one of the following:

- An integer_number or an absolute_expression. The value must be in the range from 0 to 0xFFFF.

- A sendmsg value which is described below.

  > Sendmsg Value Syntax | Description
  > --- | ---
  > sendmsg(<type>) | A message identified by its type.
  > sendmsg(<type>,<op>) | A message identified by its type and operation.
  > sendmsg(<type>,<op>,<stream>) | A message identified by its type and operation with a stream id.

Type may be specified using message name or message id.

Op may be specified using operation name or operation id.

Stream id is an integer in the range from 0 to 3.

Numeric values may be specified as positive integer numbers or absolute expressions.

Each message type supports specific operations:

> Message name | Message Id | Supported Operations | Operation Id | Stream Id
> --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
> MSG_INTERRUPT | 1 | - | - | -
> MSG_GS | 2 | GS_OP_CUT | 1 | Optional
> |  | GS_OP_EMIT | 2 | Optional
> |  | GS_OP_EMIT_CUT | 3 | Optional
> MSG_GS_DONE | 3 | GS_OP_NOP | 0 | -
> |  | GS_OP_CUT | 1 | Optional
> |  | GS_OP_EMIT | 2 | Optional
> |  | GS_OP_EMIT_CUT | 3 | Optional
> MSG_SAVEWAVE | 4 | - | - | -
> MSG_STALL_WAVE_GEN | 5 | - | - | -
> MSG_HALT_WAVES | 6 | - | - | -
> MSG_ORDERED_PS_DONE | 7 | - | - | -
> MSG_EARLY_PRIM_DEALLOC | 8 | - | - | -
> MSG_GS_ALLOC_REQ | 9 | - | - | -
> MSG_GET_DOORBELL | 10 | - | - | -
> MSG_SYSMSG | 15 | SYSMSG_OP_ECC_ERR_INTERRUPT | 1 | -
> |  | SYSMSG_OP_REG_RD | 2 | -
> |  | SYSMSG_OP_TTRACE_PC | 4 | -

Sendmsg arguments are validated depending on how type value is specified:

- If message type is specified by name, arguments values must satisfy limitations detailed in the table above.

- If message type is specified as a number, each argument must not exceed the corresponding value range (see the first table).

Examples:

    // numeric message code
    msg = 0x10
    s_sendmsg 0x12
    s_sendmsg msg + 2

    // sendmsg with strict arguments validation
    s_sendmsg sendmsg(MSG_INTERRUPT)
    s_sendmsg sendmsg(MSG_GS, GS_OP_EMIT)
    s_sendmsg sendmsg(MSG_GS, 2)
    s_sendmsg sendmsg(MSG_GS_DONE, GS_OP_EMIT_CUT, 1)
    s_sendmsg sendmsg(MSG_SYSMSG, SYSMSG_OP_TTRACE_PC)
    s_sendmsg sendmsg(MSG_GET_DOORBELL)

    // sendmsg with validation of value range only
    msg = 2
    op = 3
    stream = 1
    s_sendmsg sendmsg(msg, op, stream)
    s_sendmsg sendmsg(2, GS_OP_CUT)
