Segfault and "Missing branch target block" error while compiling larger functions with O1 vs O2 opt levels

Dear All,

Similar to other issues reported by me or my colleagues, I encountered this issue while porting NEURON+CoreNEURON application with OpenACC. I do not have smaller reproducer but I can explain what behaviour I am seeing. I have attached standalone, preprocessed .cpp file that you can use to reproduce the below errors. This is using NVHPC v22.3.

In the attached file we have auto-generated function _nrn_init__Bounce that has structure like:

void _nrn_init__Bounce(NrnThread* _nt, Memb_list* _ml, int _type){
    double* _p; Datum* _ppvar; ThreadDatum* _thread;
    
    if(_ml->instance == nullptr) {
        _ml->instance = malloc(sizeof(_global_variables_t));
        _copy_globals_to_gpu = true;
    }
    _initlists(_ml);
    _update_global_variables(_nt, _ml, _copy_globals_to_gpu);

    _Pragma("acc parallel loop present(_ni[0:_cntml_actual], _nt_data[0:_nt->_ndata], _p[0:_cntml_padded*_psize], _ppvar[0:_cntml_padded*_ppsize], _vec_v[0:_nt->end], nrn_ion_global_map[0:nrn_ion_global_map_size][0:ion_global_map_member_size], _nt[0:1] _thread_present_) if(_nt->compute_gpu)")
     for (_iml = 0; _iml < _cntml_actual; ++_iml) {
                int _nd_idx = _ni[_iml];
                _p[9*_cntml_padded + _iml] = -1e20;
                _v = _vec_v[_nd_idx];
                v = _v;
                initmodel__Bounce(_iml, _cntml_padded, _p, _ppvar, _thread, _nt, _ml, v);
     }

You can see that _update_global_variables is called outside OpenACC loop and has body like:

static void _update_global_variables(NrnThread *_nt, Memb_list *_ml, bool _copy_globals_to_gpu) {
   if(_nt == nullptr || _ml == nullptr) {
     return;
   }
   _global_variables_t* _global_variables = reinterpret_cast<_global_variables_t*>(_ml->instance);
   _global_variables->_ml_mechtype = _mechtype;
   _global_variables->HighThresh = HighThresh;
   _global_variables->LowThresh = LowThresh;

#ifdef NRN_SEGFAULT
   if (_nt->compute_gpu) {
        auto* _d_global_vars = cnrn_target_copyin(_global_variables);
        auto* _d_ml = reinterpret_cast<Memb_list*>(acc_deviceptr(_ml));
        cnrn_target_memcpy_to_device(&(_d_ml->instance), (void**)&(_d_global_vars));
   }
#endif
 }

In our production application I started adding some logic in this _update_global_variables() function (not accelerator regions, only cpu side code calling some OpenACC APIs) and then I started seeing below errors. It seemed like these errors are related to function sizes and inlining because I have similar but smaller auto-generated files for other parts and they don’t fail.

If we compile attached file with O1 then everything works fine:

$ nvc++ -mp -acc -c nrn_svcmalp.cpp -O1 --diag_suppress=111,550 --diag_suppress=161,177

With O2 we see:

$ nvc++ -mp -acc -c nrn_svcmalp.cpp -O2 --diag_suppress=111,550 --diag_suppress=161,177
NVC++-W-0155-Compiler failed to translate accelerator region (see -Minfo messages): Missing branch target block (nrn_svcmalp.cpp: 1)
NVC++-F-0704-Compilation aborted due to previous errors. (nrn_svcmalp.cpp)
NVC++/x86-64 Linux 22.3-0: compilation aborted

And we enable code under #ifdef NRN_SEGFAULT then we get:

Not that interesting but adding -Minfo=accel flag removes segfault:

Thanks for the report!

I was able to recreate the error here and tracked it down to the “atomic capture” in the “_net_send_buffering” routine and some issue when auto-inlining the atomic. I filed a report (TPR #31709) and sent to engineering for investigation.

The work around is to add a structured block to the atomic capture, or disable auto-inlining via the “-Mnoautoinline” flag.

static void _net_send_buffering(NetSendBuffer_t* _nsb, int _sendtype, int _i_vdata, int _weight_index,
 int _ipnt, double _t, double _flag) {
  int _i = 0;
#ifdef WORKS
  #pragma acc atomic capture
  {
     _i = _nsb->_cnt++;
  }
#else
  #pragma acc atomic capture
  _i = _nsb->_cnt++;
#endif

thank you very much Mat for quick response!

We need -Mautoinline for some other historical reasons/issues but I am glad to know about the temporary work around using structured block!

I tested this in our production code and it compiles fine now. (avoid me searching for uglier work around)

Hi Pramod,

Engineering let me know that TPR#31709 was fixed in our 22.7 release.
