must have misplaced this in ../getrf when I made that change in March 2018 (40160ff)
the only changes since then were

This patch adds support for bfloat16 data type matrix multiplication kernel.
For architectures that don't support bfloat16, it is defined as unsigned short
(2 bytes). Default unroll sizes can be changed as per architecture as done for
SGEMM and for now 8 and 4 are used for M and N. Size of ncopy/tcopy can be
changed as per architecture requirement and for now, size 2 is used.
Added shgemm in kernel/power/KERNEL.POWER9 and tested in powerpc64le and
powerpc64. For reference, added a small test compare_sgemm_shgemm.c to compare
sgemm and shgemm output.
This patch does not cover OpenBLAS test, benchmark and lapack tests for shgemm.
Complex type implementation can be discussed and added once this is approved.
The current implementation has locks, but the locks each only
have a critical section of one variable so atomic reads/writes
with barriers can be used to achieve the same behavior.
Like the previous patch, pthread_mutex_lock isn't fair, so in a
tight loop the previous thread that has the lock can keep it
starving another thread, even if that thread is about to write
the data that will stop the current thread from spinning.
On a 64c Arm system this improves performance by 20x on sgesv.goto.
On systems with more than 64 cpus, blas_quickdivide will sometimes return zero which creates bogus workloads when used for the stride calculation. This then leads to threads spinning incessantly waiting for a status change that never happens, as seen in #1497.
This patch also fixes several data races that were found by helgrind and/or tsan while debugging the issue.
* prebuild.cmake: Put quotes around path names that may contain whitespace
(Copied from alexkaratakis' PR #1295)
* kernel/CMakeLists.txt: Fix common_lapack header inclusion and DYNAMIC_ARCH generation of ?neg_tcopy and ?laswp_ncopy files
* lapack/CMakeLists.txt: Use correct template for ?laswp_(plus,minus) functions
