Tianqi Chen adf8d6a463 [TIRx] Phase out duplicate Var type_annotation (#19944)
## Rationale

TIRx variables use inherited `ExprNode::ty` as their single semantic
type. Retaining a primitive handle surrogate erases the distinction
between scalar values, typed pointers, and true opaque pointers, then
forces later passes and code generators to reconstruct information that
the IR already owns.

## Changes

- Remove the duplicate reflected `Var::type_annotation` state and
preserve exact `PrimType` or `PointerType` through construction,
visitors, transforms, specialization, builders, printers, and code
generation.
- Keep scalar-only boundaries explicit through `PrimExpr`, `PrimVar`,
and `PrimType`; pointer-capable values remain general `Expr` or `Var`.
- Keep helper boundaries no broader than their contracts: TE tensor
variable indices use `PrimVar`, while expression deep equality recurses
through general `Expr` only where pointer-bearing `Call` arguments
require it and does not generalize private arithmetic subclasses.
- Keep core statement reflection typed as `Expr`, name general
reinterpret targets as `target_ty`, and preserve exact pointer calls in
the general vectorization path with explicit scalarization behavior.
- Delete `PrimType::Handle()` and `PrimType::IsHandle()`. True opaque
pointers use `PointerType::VoidPointerTy()`; TVMScript renders the
canonical global type as `T.handle`, standalone values as `T.handle()`,
and scoped void pointers with a keyword-only storage scope.
- Make `CodeGenSourceBase::SSAGetID` a single `Type` boundary across
source backends, without a separate primitive-type or runtime-dtype
variant.
- Keep WebGPU semantic argument classification type-aware: storage
buffers are identified from `PointerType`, POD arguments from
`PrimType`, and only the final `FunctionInfo` launch ABI is serialized
to `DLDataType`.
- Preserve exact pointer semantics at runtime boundaries, including
access pointers, packed calls and returns, external calls, storage
rewrites, and target-specific lowering.

## Migration guide

- **Variable types:** In C++, replace `var->type_annotation` with
`var->ty`; in Python, replace `var.type_annotation` with `var.ty`. The
result is the exact `Type`: scalar variables carry `PrimType`, while
pointer variables carry `PointerType`.
- **Scalar boundaries:** Use `PrimVar` and `PrimExpr` for variables and
expressions that are semantically scalar. When starting from a general
view, narrow explicitly with `var.as_or_throw<PrimVar>()` or
`expr.as_or_throw<PrimExpr>()`. Keep pointer-capable fields and call
arguments as `Var` or `Expr`. A default-constructed `PrimVar` is
nullable, so construct local scalar variables explicitly, for example
`PrimVar i("i")`.
- **Opaque pointers:** Replace `PrimType::Handle()` with
`PointerType::VoidPointerTy()`. Replace `IsHandle()` tests with explicit
`PointerType` inspection; use `PointerType(element_type, storage_scope)`
when the pointee type is known instead of erasing it to a runtime handle
dtype.
- **TVMScript handles:** Use `arg: T.handle` for a global void-pointer
annotation and `arg = T.handle()` for a standalone value. Use
`T.handle(storage_scope="shared")` for a scoped void pointer. Typed
pointers use forms such as `T.handle("float32")`, `T.handle("float32",
"global")`, or `T.handle("float32", "shared")`. Legacy
`T.handle("void")` input remains parse-compatible, but the printer
canonicalizes it to `T.handle` (or the keyword-only scoped form).
- The separate `tirx.type_annotation` intrinsic used by access-pointer
APIs is unchanged; this migration removes only the duplicate variable
field.

## Validation

- Complete native C++ test executable: 122/122 passed, including
`IRF.CountVar`.
- Relax binding-rewrite suite: 12/12 passed, including transferred-user
bookkeeping.
- Canonical typed/void/scoped TVMScript handle printer and round-trip
checks: 5/5 passed.

Tianqi Chen 275114b327 [REFACTOR][IR] Unify PrimExpr with Expr typed view (#19910)
## Summary
- Make `PrimExpr` a typed C++ view over `Expr` values whose
`ExprNode::ty` is `PrimType`, instead of using a separate runtime node
class as the proof of primitive-ness.
- Use the shared `ir::Call` node for Relax, TIRX, and primitive-valued
calls, while keeping primitive-only APIs explicit at their semantic
boundaries.
- Keep Python on the general `Expr` surface for primitive-typed values
so `isinstance` behavior does not imply a nominal primitive-expression
subclass.

## Design Rationale
The main advantage of this change is that common expression nodes such
as `Call` can be unified without specializing each one to `PrimType`. A
single `ir::Call` can represent a Relax tensor call, a Relax scalar
call, or a primitive-valued intrinsic call; the result type stored in
`ExprNode::ty` determines whether that particular value can be viewed as
`PrimExpr`.

This keeps the IR node hierarchy focused on expression structure rather
than result-type categories. Nodes that are intrinsically primitive,
such as integer and floating-point literals or TIRX primitive operators,
still have strongly typed C++ APIs and data structures. General nodes
whose result type may vary, such as `Call`, remain general `Expr` nodes
and are narrowed to `PrimExpr` only where primitive-only semantics are
required.

The PR also keeps the compatibility surface practical: C++
primitive-only APIs continue to accept `PrimExpr`, Python exposes a
compatibility predicate for checking the primitive typed category, and
visitors/printers use one natural `Call` path rather than duplicating
Relax and primitive call handling. Missing expression types are
represented explicitly with `Type::Missing()` so constructors can leave
type inference to later analysis without relying on nullable `Type`
values.

Tianqi Chen 1e1920bcbd [REFACTOR][IR] Unify PrimExpr type mechanism to PrimType instead of DataType (#19875)
In the past we have been using `DataType` in PrimExpr.dtype field to
check type information for PrimExpr while still having BaseExpr.ty for
richer type information. DataType is also used both in runtime and
compiler. This PR streamlines the boundary:

- PrimExpr.ty now carries PrimType that replaces original use of
`DataType`
- Runtime use will now favor DLPack DLDataType, removing one layer of
indirection.
- Constants attributes where values are usually runtime values, will use
`DLDataType`
- DataType will be phased out after this PR

We also brings up helper functions in PrimType, but also limits them to
a more concise set so the functions do not grow with the data type codes
in DLPack.

This is a major refactor that changes the IR primitive. It helps to
bring possible future benefits:
- Unified type mechanism through Expr.ty
- Possibility of carry future Type nodes 

Migration Guide:
- Use `PrimType` when code reasons about compiler expression types,
tensor element compiler types, or constructs a `PrimExpr`/compiler type.
- Use existing source types such as `expr.ty()`, `ExprOp.expr_ty()`, or
TE tensor element `dtype` where possible instead of rebuilding a type
from dtype text.
- Use raw `DLDataType` for runtime constants, ABI paths, dtype-valued
attrs, and storage/runtime helper logic.
- Prefer direct `PrimType` equality, `MatchesCode(...)`,
`MatchesElementType(...)`, and `WithCode(...)` over local wrappers or
string dtype checks.

Performance:

Using Object type instead of DLDataType would indeed bring some
performance impact to the IR. We have done the following performance
optimizations:
- Make sure most of the outputs reuse one of the PrimType from inputs
- Cache a thread local PrimType based on input so we don't repeatly
realloc

We did benchmarks show that rewrite simplify operation stays within
+-10% overhead of original one. Which merits the refactor given the
benefit the unfication brings

Bohan Hou 16d0a7edae [TIRX][CUDA] Framework support for FA4, CLC intrinsics, and nvfp4 tcgen05 GEMM (#19785) 2026-06-16 06:52:14 -04:00
Tianqi Chen ffea531107 [REFACTOR][PYTHON] Lift compiler/CLI/process modules from tvm.contrib to tvm.support (#19624)
## Summary

Lifts 10 host-toolchain / CLI / process / utility modules from
`python/tvm/contrib/` to a new `python/tvm/support/` package, and
deletes two dead contrib shims.

`tvm.support` is the home for Python helpers that integrate TVM with
external CLIs and host-side tools — compilers, archivers, subprocess
pools, and build-info queries. These are load-bearing internal pieces
that TVM's compile/link/run paths depend on. `tvm.contrib` is reserved
for optional vendor SDK integrations and experimental features. The
distinction is documented in the `tvm.support` package docstring.

Moved (one commit each):

- `tvm.contrib.cc` → `tvm.support.cc`
- `tvm.contrib.nvcc` → `tvm.support.nvcc`
- `tvm.contrib.rocm` → `tvm.support.rocm`
- `tvm.contrib.ndk` → `tvm.support.ndk`
- `tvm.contrib.xcode` → `tvm.support.xcode`
- `tvm.contrib.clang` → `tvm.support.clang`
- `tvm.contrib.emcc` → `tvm.support.emcc`
- `tvm.contrib.popen_pool` → `tvm.support.popen_pool`
- `tvm.contrib.utils` → `tvm.support.utils`
- `tvm.contrib.tar` → `tvm.support.tar`

Deleted:
- `tvm.contrib.spirv` — single `optimize()` wrapping `spirv-opt`; zero
importers.
- `tvm.contrib.rpc` — self-deprecation shim with "removed in 0.5"
banner; honoring it.

Package conversion:
- `python/tvm/support.py` → `python/tvm/support/__init__.py` with
inclusion-rule docstring.
- `libinfo()` extracted into `python/tvm/support/libinfo.py`.
- `FrontendTestModule` dropped (audit confirmed zero callers outside its
own definition).

## Compatibility

Hard break — no `tvm.contrib.<mod>` re-export shims. All callers updated
in this PR.

C++-side FFI registry keys (`tvm.contrib.nvcc.*`, etc.) are unchanged —
only the Python module path moves. Renaming the FFI keys is a separate
follow-up.

Tianqi Chen 7504e3ed1a [REFACTOR][SCRIPT] TVMScript dialect-friendly refactor: per-dialect restructure + dialect registry (#19479)
## Summary

Restructure TVMScript to be dialect-agnostic at the script-core layer
while letting each extension dialect (TIRX, Relax) own its own
per-dialect script subtree.  IR is below script in the dependency
stack and is NOT a peer dialect — its script handlers stay in the
shared core.

This PR folds together two coupled refactors that were initially
opened as separate PRs (#19478 and the original #19479); they
share rename / relocation surface so they ship as one cohesive
change.

## What this PR does

### Per-dialect script subtree (originally #19479)

- Moves per-dialect printer + builder from
  `src/script/{printer,ir_builder}/{tirx,relax}/` to
  `src/{tirx,relax}/script/{printer,builder}/`.
- Tightens `src/script/*.cc` CMake glob to the dialect-free core.
- Refactors `IRBuilder::DeclFunction` to dispatch via FFI registry
  (`script.ir_builder.decl_function.<type-key>`); removes
  cross-dialect includes from the shared core.
- Adds `tvm.script.register_dialect` API + `__getattr__` + a
  `sys.meta_path` finder for Python-side dialect discovery.
  In-tree dialects (tirx, relax) registered centrally in
  `python/tvm/__init__.py`.
- Drops the obsolete static re-export shims at
  `python/tvm/script/{parser,ir_builder}/{tirx,relax}/`.

### Dialect-agnostic printer config (originally #19478)

- Relocates `include/tvm/ir/script_printer.h` →
  `include/tvm/script/printer/config.h` next to the rest of the
  printer's public surface.  The header is not IR-specific.
- Renames `TVM_SCRIPT_REPR` → `TVM_REGISTER_SCRIPT_AS_REPR` for
  clarity (the macro registers Script as the kRepr callback +
  per-type vtable dispatch).  Aligns with the `TVM_REGISTER_*`
  family.
- Drops dialect-hardcoded `PrinterConfig` fields (`tir_prefix`,
  `relax_prefix`, `show_all_struct_info`, `buffer_dtype`) in favor
  of a generic `ffi::Map<String, Any> extra_config` keyed by
  `"<dialect>.<knob>"`.  Each call site reads via the templated
  accessor `config->GetExtraConfig<T>("...", default)`.
- Promotes `std::string` config fields to `ffi::String`.

After this lands, the script-printer core knows nothing specific
about any dialect — new dialects plug in via the registry pattern
with zero core edits.  Public Python API surface unchanged.
