The stripped regression removes the branch entirely — there is only one loop for the compiler to optimize, and it gets the degraded WMMA schedule. - -A PGO workflow (`-fprofile-instr-generate` → run `llama-bench` → `-fprofile-instr-use`) would still require keeping the cold/hot split in source; it might tune the hot path slightly but is heavy to integrate into the llama.cpp HIP build and has not been shown to fix the `ds_load_b128` gap. - -### Link-time optimization (LTO) - -| Test | Result | -|------|--------| -| `-flto=full` on variant with `blockIdx.z > 0` fake branch | **Good** ASM preserved | -| LTO on stripped single-loop build | **Bad** (not re-run; same as non-LTO stripped) | - -LTO does **not** substitute for the in-kernel branch. If LTO ever proves the cold predicate always false and **deletes** the cold path before per-kernel AMDGPU codegen, performance could regress to stripped behavior — treat LTO as risky for this pattern. - -### Fake runtime predicates (alternative to `mmq_profile`) - -See [Recommended refinement](#recommended-refinement-no-extra-kernarg). Tested by replacing `if (mmq_profile)` in the full cold/hot split: - -| Predicate | ASM | Runtime safe? | -|-----------|-----|---------------| -| `threadIdx.z > 0` | Good | **Yes** (recommended) | -| `threadIdx.x == 255` | Good | Yes | -| `threadIdx.x >= ggml_cuda_get_physical_warp_size()` | Good | Yes (wave 32) | -| `blockIdx.z > 0` | Good | **No** — `gridDim.z` can exceed 1 | -| `blockIdx.z >= gridDim.z` | Bad | Compiler folds | - -### What we still cannot do - -None of the above removes the **duplicate cold loop from the binary**. The only open paths are: - -1. Keep the branch workaround (`MMQ_CODEGEN_SPLIT_COLD` / `threadIdx.z > 0`). -2. Wait for an AMDGPU backend fix so a single hot loop gets the same WMMA lowering. -3. Periodically re-test stripped builds on new ROCm releases. - ---- - -## Root cause analysis (pass bisection, `gfx1151`, `-O3`) - -Standalone reproducer: `/proj/gdba/lichang/hipcc-issue` (`build.sh`, `compare.sh`, `bisect_mir.sh`). - -Kernel under test: `mul_mat_q` from `mmq-instance-q4_k.cu`. - -### Symptom on the executed hot path - -Both builds execute the same 32 WMMA ops per tile step, but the **schedule** differs: - -| Metric (hot path only) | split (good) | stripped (bad) | -|------------------------|--------------|----------------| -| `ds_load_b128` | 24 | 24 | -| `v_fma_mix_f32` | 256 | 256 | -| `s_barrier` | 4 | 6 | -| `lgkmcnt` max | **3** | **11** | -| Insns between last `ds_load_b128` and first WMMA | **6** | **14** | - -The performance gap is not “missing WMMA on the hot path” for this instantiation — it is **worse LDS→WMMA scheduling** and conservative `lgkmcnt` insertion. - -### Cause chain (confirmed) - -``` -source: cold/hot duplicate removed - ↓ -IR (O0/O3): vec_dot inlined once instead of twice (4 vs 8 llvm.amdgcn.wmma in kernel) - ↓ -pre-RA machine scheduler: hot MIR order still matches split hot (similarity 1.0) - ↓ -post-RA machine scheduler (pass: postmisched): hot MIR diverges (similarity 0.59) - ↓ stripped interleaves v_fma_mix between ds_load and WMMA - ↓ split hot clusters ds_load → WMMA - ↓ -SIInsertWaitcnts: more in-flight LDS/VALU events → lgkmcnt(11) vs lgkmcnt(3) -``` - -**First diverging pass:** `postmisched` (`PostMachineSchedulerLegacy` in `llvm/lib/CodeGen/MachineScheduler.cpp`). AMDGPU substitutes the generic post-RA scheduler with this pass (`AMDGPUTargetMachine.cpp`). - -- `stop-before postmisched`: split-hot vs stripped MIR similarity **1.000** -- `stop-after postmisched`: similarity **0.587** - -Earlier passes (including the first `machine-scheduler`, `si-load-store-opt`, `si-form-memory-clauses`, `si-fold-operands`) do **not** diverge the hot region. Later passes (`si-memory-legalizer`, `si-insert-waitcnts`, `si-pre-emit-peephole`) inherit the worse order and insert the high wait counts. - -### MIR instruction order (post-RA scheduler output) - -Split hot (good), before waitcnt insertion: - -``` -… dBBBBdBBBBBBdddddddd WWWW…WWWW FFFF… -``` - -Stripped (bad): - -``` -… FFFFFF || BBBBBBBBBBBB WWWW…WWWW ddFF … -``` - -Stripped keeps `v_fma_mix` and barriers between the LDS load cluster and the WMMA cluster. That ordering is what forces `SIInsertWaitcnts` to use deep `lgkmcnt` (see comment in `SIInsertWaitcnts.cpp`: conservative counts when multiple event types are in flight). - -### Why the cold branch fixes it - -The compiler needs two **full duplicate** loop bodies in the **same kernel function**: - -1. At IR level the kernel contains **8** `llvm.amdgcn.wmma` intrinsics (4 cold + 4 hot) instead of **4**. -2. The extra CFG branch (`threadIdx.z > 0`, always false) changes function-wide post-RA scheduling context. -3. The post-RA GCN scheduler (`GCNMaxOccupancySchedStrategy` stages in `GCNSchedStrategy.cpp`) then emits a hot-path MIR order where DS loads sit adjacent to WMMA, even though only the hot branch runs. - -This is **not** fixable by: - -| Attempt | Result | -|---------|--------| -| `-mllvm -amdgpu-unroll-threshold-local=N` sweep (400–2000) on stripped | No improvement; 2000 over-unrolls | -| `-mllvm -amdgpu-sched-strategy=max-memory-clause` | No improvement | -| `-mllvm -enable-post-misched=false` on stripped | Still `lgk_max=11` on hot path | -| `__attribute__((always_inline))`, `flatten`, fences, separate TU, minimal cold sync-only branch | Bad schedule (documented above) | - -### LLVM files involved - -| File | Role | -|------|------| -| `llvm/lib/CodeGen/MachineScheduler.cpp` | `postmisched` — **first pass where schedules diverge** | -| `llvm/lib/Target/AMDGPU/GCNSchedStrategy.cpp` | `GCNMaxOccupancySchedStrategy` post-RA scheduling heuristics | -| `llvm/lib/Target/AMDGPU/SIInsertWaitcnts.cpp` | Inserts `s_waitcnt lgkmcnt(N)` from final instruction order | -| `llvm/lib/Target/AMDGPU/SILoadStoreOptimizer.cpp` | DS load combining (not the divergence point here) | -| `llvm/lib/Transforms/Scalar/LoopUnrollPass.cpp` | Affects total WMMA duplication at IR level, not hot-path `lgkmcnt` | - -### Upstream ask (refined) - -Post-RA GCN scheduling should emit the same DS→WMMA cluster order for the hot `vec_dot` loop whether or not a provably-dead duplicate loop exists in the same kernel.
