* Deprecate _syncthreads (the CUDA name) in favor of new _barrier_sync (NVPTX name barrier.sync). * The: barrier.sync instruction is equivalent to barrier.sync.aligned prior to sm_70, and will lead to errors/deadlock if passes (such as MIR JumpThreading) lose the aligned property. rust-lang/rust#137086 https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/parallel-thread-execution/index.html#parallel-synchronization-and-communication-instructions-bar * Since: MIR does not currently have a way to apply something like LLVM's convergent attribute (and because convergent does not preserve alignment, which can be broken by inlining), we cannot prevent loss of alignment, and thus we require target feature sm_70. https://llvm.org/docs/ConvergentOperations.html

_syncthreads(the CUDA name) in favor of new_barrier_sync(NVPTX namebarrier.sync).barrier.syncinstruction is equivalent tobarrier.sync.alignedprior tosm_70, and will lead to errors/deadlock if passes (such as MIRJumpThreading) lose the aligned property.convergentattribute (and becauseconvergentdoes not preserve alignment, which can be broken by inlining), we cannot prevent loss of alignment, and thus we require target featuresm_70. In short, we cannot prevent miscompilation of aligned barriers without hard-to-specify preconditions.This requires rust-lang/rust#138689 (for
nvptx_target_feature) and fixes rust-lang/rust#137086.
