Add OpenCL 2.0 atomic builtin functions as Clang builtin
OpenCL 2.0 atomic builtin functions have a scope argument which is ideally represented as synchronization scope argument in LLVM atomic instructions. Clang supports translating Clang atomic builtin functions to LLVM atomic instructions. However it currently does not support synchronization scope of LLVM atomic instructions. Without this, users have to use LLVM assembly code to implement OpenCL atomic builtin functions. This patch adds OpenCL 2.0 atomic builtin functions as Clang builtin functions, which supports generating LLVM atomic instructions with synchronization scope operand. Currently only constant memory scope argument is supported. Support of non-constant memory scope argument will be added later. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D28691 llvm-svn: 310082
