[PATCH 78/79] [Backport to 15] add initial f16 type support for atomicrmw in llvm-spirv translator (#2210)
This PR aims to add f16 type support for atomicrmw in llvm-spirv translator, with the reference to the extension documented in [1].
There are two concerns related to the subject:
SPIRVAtomicFAddEXTInst::getRequiredExtension() should return a list of required extension to support the requirement to list both SPV_EXT_shader_atomic_float16_add and SPV_EXT_shader_atomic_float_add extensions in the module (see "Extension Name" section of the ref [1]). However, the return type is std::optional<ExtensionID> and returning a vector would need a bigger rework.
Including SPV_EXT_shader_atomic_float16_add into --spirv-ext argument of llvm-spirv doesn't result in producing the correspondent capability (AtomicFloat16AddEXT) and extension in a SPIRV output.
$ llvm-spirv AtomicFAddEXT.ll.tmp.bc --spirv-ext=+SPV_EXT_shader_atomic_float_add,+SPV_EXT_shader_atomic_float16_add -o AtomicFAddEXT.ll.tmp.spv
$ llvm-spirv -to-text AtomicFAddEXT.ll.tmp.spv -o /dev/stdout
...
2 Capability AtomicFloat32AddEXT
2 Capability AtomicFloat64AddEXT
9 Extension "SPV_EXT_shader_atomic_float_add"
...
This prevents extending the test case of AtomicFAddEXT.ll in EXT/SPV_EXT_shader_atomic_float.
