Are you sure this can't trigger?
Say
extern int __seg_fs a;

void
foo (void)
{
   #pragma omp parallel private (a)
   a = 2;
}

That test case doesn't run into 'omp_build_component_ref' at all,
but [I've pushed an altered and extended variant that does],
"Add 'libgomp.c/address-space-1.c'".

In this case, 'omp_build_component_ref' called via host compilation
'pass_lower_omp', it's the 'field_type' that has 'address-space-1', not
'obj_type', so indeed Kwok's new code is a no-op:

     (gdb) call debug_tree(field_type)
      <pointer_type 0x7ffff7686b28
         type <integer_type 0x7ffff7686498 int address-space-1 SI

I think keeping the qual addr space here is the wrong thing to do,
it should keep the other quals and clear the address space instead,
the whole struct is going to be in generic addres space, isn't it?

Correct for 'omp_build_component_ref' called via host compilation
'pass_lower_omp'

However, regarding the former comment -- shouldn't we force generic
address space for all 'tree' types read in via LTO streaming for
offloading compilation?  I assume that (in the general case) address
spaces are never compatible between host and offloading compilation?
For [...] "Add 'libgomp.c/address-space-1.c'", propagating the
'__seg_fs' address space across the offloading boundary (assuming I did
interpret the dumps correctly) doesn't seem to cause any problems

As I found later, actually the 'address-space-1' per host '__seg_fs' does
cause the "Intel MIC (emulated) offloading execution failure"
mentioned/XFAILed for 'libgomp.c/address-space-1.c': SIGSEGV, like
(expected) for host execution.  For GCN offloading target, it maps to
GCN 'ADDR_SPACE_FLAT' which apparently doesn't cause any ill effects (for
that simple test case).  The nvptx offloading target doesn't consider
address spaces at all.

Is the attached "Host and offload targets have no common meaning of
address spaces" OK to push?


Then, is that the way to do this, or should we add in
'gcc/tree-streamer-out.c:pack_ts_base_value_fields':

     if (lto_stream_offload_p)
       gcc_assert (ADDR_SPACE_GENERIC_P (TYPE_ADDR_SPACE (expr)));

..., and elsewhere sanitize this for offloading compilation?  Jakub's
suggestion above, regarding 'gcc/omp-low.c:omp_build_component_ref':

| I think keeping the qual addr space here is the wrong thing to do,
| it should keep the other quals and clear the address space instead

But it's not obvious to me that indeed this is the one place where this
would need to be done?  (It ought to work for
'libgomp.c/address-space-1.c', and any other occurrences would run into
the 'assert', so that ought to be "fine", though?)


And, should we have a new hook
'void targetm.addr_space.validate (addr_space_t as)' (better name?),
called via 'gcc/emit-rtl.c:set_mem_attrs' (only? -- assuming this is the
appropriate canonic function where address space use is observed?), to
make sure that the requested 'as' is valid for the target?
'default_addr_space_validate' would refuse everything but
'ADDR_SPACE_GENERIC_P (as)'; this hook would need implementing for all
handful of targets making use of address spaces (supposedly matching the
logic how they call 'c_register_addr_space'?).  (The closest existing
hook seems to be 'targetm.addr_space.diagnose_usage', only defined for
AVR, and called from "the front ends" (C only).)

Are address-spaces to be used in any way for OpenMP offload code?  That is,
does the OpenMP standard talk about them and how to remap things?  I'd
say I agree that any host address-space should go away when the corresponding
data is offloaded and in case OpenMP allows to specify a target address-space
that would need to be instantiated in a way so the LTO streaming knows about
a mapping from the host to the target representation.

The new OpenMP 5 allocator features will permit allocations to different memories (we're planning an implementation soon). Whether that means a different address space may be target specific, but I would certainly expect that it could be. For AMD GCN there is a "flat" address space that covers most memories, but if you know what memory an address refers to then there's often a more efficient instruction you can use.

Certainly the numeric address space codes for the host system architecture have no meaning on the accelerator architecture.
