As observed using GCC 10 using -march=native -ftree-vectorize
on Knights Landing, it is now smart enough to find clobbers inside
non-inlined static functions.
In particular, sgemv counted on a kernel to preserve the whole
%ymm2 register (since it was not in the clobber list), but the top
part was destroyed by vzeroupper. This caused many tests to fail.
This patch makes sure all xmm (and ymm/zmm by extension) registers
are listed as clobbered to avoid this happening, as most kernels
already did correctly in fact.
The
`#if defined(SKYLAKEX) || defined (COOPERLAKE)`
from that commit was before #include "common.h" so caused the
compiled function to be empty, returning garbage results for
qualifying sgemm's on those architectures.
Closes#2914
1. Added bfloat16 based dot as new API: shdot
2. Implemented generic kernel and cooperlake-specific (AVX512-BF16) kernel for shdot
3. Added 4 conversion APIs for bfloat16 data type <=> single/double: shstobf16 shdtobf16 sbf16tos dbf16tod
shstobf16 -- convert single float array to bfloat16 array
shdtobf16 -- convert double float array to bfloat16 array
sbf16tos -- convert bfloat16 array to single float array
dbf16tod -- convert bfloat16 array to double float array
4. Implemented generic kernels for all 4 conversion APIs, and cooperlake-specific kernel for shstobf16 and shdtobf16
5. Update level1 thread facilitate functions and macros to support multi-threading for these new APIs
6. Fix Cooperlake platform detection/specify issue when under dynamic-arch building
7. Change the typedef of bfloat16 from unsigned short to more strict uint16_t

Move "direct SGEMM" functionality out of the SkylakeX SGEMM kernel and make it available
(on x86_64 targets only for now) in DYNAMIC_ARCH builds
* Add sgemm_direct targets in the kernel Makefile.L3 and CMakeLists.txt
* Add direct_sgemm functions to the gotoblas struct in common_param.h
* Move sgemm_direct_performant helper to separate file
* Update gemm.c to macros for sgemm_direct to support dynamic_arch naming via common_s,h
* (Conditionally) add sgemm_direct functions in setparam-ref.c
Enable new build target platform -- COOPERLAKE. This target platform
supports all the SKYLAKEX supported ISAs + avx512bf16. So all the
SKYLAKEX specific kernels/drivers and related code are now extended
to be also active on COOPERLAKE. Besides, new BF16 related kernels
are active under this target.
Something in the plain C parts of x86_64 cscal.c and zscal.c appears to be miscompiled by both gfortran9 and ifort when compiling for skylakex-avx512, even when the optimized Haswell microkernel is not in use.
As discussed on the original PR #2329, the "Apple Clang 11.0.3" that appears to be based the same LLVM release produces the same miscompilation of this file.
