[mlir][VectorType] Allow arbitrary dimensions to be scalable

[awarzynski]

Summary

At the moment, only the trailing dimensions in the vector type can be
scalable, i.e. this is supported:

vector<2x[4]xf32>

and this is not allowed:

vector<[2]x4xf32>

This patch extends the vector type so that arbitrary dimensions can be
scalable. To this end, an array of bool values is added to every vector
type to denote whether the corresponding dimensions are scalable or not.
For example, for this vector:

vector<[2]x[3]x4xf32>

the following array would be created:

{true, true, false}.

Additionally, the current syntax:

vector<[2x3]x4xf32>

is replaced with:

vector<[2]x[3]x4xf32>

This is primarily to simplify parsing (this way, the parser can easily
process one dimension at a time rather than e.g. tracking whether
"scalable block" has been entered/left).

NOTE: The isScalableDim parameter of VectorType (introduced in this patch) makes numScalableDims redundant. For the time being, numScalableDims is preserved to facilitate the transition between the two parameters. numScalableDims will be removed in one of the subsequent patches.

This change is a part of a larger effort to enable scalable
vectorisation in Linalg. See this RFC for more context:

Never mind. The blue colour in the "NOTE" tripped my mental parser 🙂

Is this transition really that painful? The new representation is a superset of the previous one it should be a simple API change.
I'm worried about the complexity of having both representations in place and potential errors derived from that.

I would make sure this is explicitly initialized to false

mlir/lib/Dialect/Vector/IR/VectorOps.cpp

2799–2807

Not sure I follow the use case here but I think we shouldn't have any specific constraint at this level of abstraction regarding the number of scalable dimensions allowed. We should fail when we try to legalize this, if the scalable dimensions haven't been removed, unrolled (that's interesting, how do we unrolled a scalable vector dims?) or replaced in some way and there is no target representation for that (e.g., llvm intrinsics, SVE/SME ops, etc.)

Ha, this is the part that required the bitmap representation (see comment in 3541).

I think we just have to apply the same permutation as to the shape so... we can do either...

invPermMap.compose(vecType.getScalableDims())  // not sure if we can pass a bool SmallVector.

or

applyPermutationMap(invPerMap, vecType.getScalableDims())

Is this transition really that painful?

Keeping both really helped with debugging and sanity-checking. Also, this is a rather intrusive change and I just like the idea of doing things like this in smaller, incremental steps.

Separately, I am worried that once this lands we'll see some "untested" code breaking (because, for example, I am making the verifiers a bit stricter). And smaller patches are easier to debug :)

The new representation is a superset of the previous one it should be a simple API change.

Yes, but the previous representation imposes some rather strong assumptions.

I'm worried about the complexity of having both representations in place and potential errors derived from that.

Fear not, I intend to remove it very soon :) I will try that now and see how complex that would be.

mlir/lib/Dialect/Vector/IR/VectorOps.cpp

2799–2807

Tl;Dr Please check the updated version :)

Not sure I follow the use case here

It's triggered by this test: vector-scalable-outerproduct.mlir. It leads to numScalableDims = 3.

I could just ignore that, but my changes to VectorType::verify mean that VectorType::get below (L2814) fails:

if (numScale != numScalableDims)
  return emitError() << "number of scalable dims must match, explicit: "
                     << numScalableDims << ", and bools:" << numScale;

This is why I'd like to keep numScalableDims for now - it helps capturing these cases. And I do have a "nice" fix for this specific example :)

I think we shouldn't have any specific constraint at this level of abstraction regarding the number of scalable dimensions allowed. We should fail when we try to legalize this, if the scalable dimensions haven't been removed, unrolled (that's interesting, how do we unrolled a scalable vector dims?) or replaced in some way and there is no target representation for that (e.g., llvm intrinsics, SVE/SME ops, etc.)

Agreed. In this particular case, we were setting numScalableDims to 3 for this result vector shape: vector<[4]x[4]xf32. That's incorrect and VectorType::verify should complain. At the moment, that would be ignored.

Thanks! I'm inclined to preserve the assert from L3542 for now. WDYT?

Uploaded here: https://reviews.llvm.org/D153412. Happy to merge with this patch if that's preferred. Both approaches (1 vs 2 patches) have their merits.

[awarzynski]

Update comments/documentation

[kuhar]

Just some nits

mlir/include/mlir/IR/BuiltinTypes.td

1076

its

1079–1080

nit: the { should be go to the previous line

1081

nit: you can insert into the existing vector with isScalabeVec.resize(shape.size(), false) or isScalableVec.append(shape.size(), false)

mlir/lib/Bytecode/Reader/BytecodeReader.cpp

992–995

Would return reder.parseByte(result) work here?

mlir/lib/Dialect/LLVMIR/IR/LLVMTypes.cpp

1002

nit: prefer C++ casts (static_cast)

mlir/lib/Dialect/SparseTensor/Transforms/SparseVectorization.cpp

60–62

nit: if you need an array ref, you can construct one from the single element (i.e., without any container)

Addressing comments from Jakub

Thank you @kuhar, your pointers are much appreciated - I always learn a lot from them :)

[dcaballe]

LGTM % pending comments. Thanks!

Fair enough. We can fo with two patches then if both are landing soon

mlir/lib/Dialect/Vector/IR/VectorOps.cpp

3537

SG but then we shouldn't need the permutation as the map would always be an identity?

[awarzynski]

Rename isScalableDim as scalableDims. This was suggested in https://reviews.llvm.org/D153412

Also updated "mlir/include/mlir/IR/BuiltinTypes.h" with some fairly straightforward changes that I forgot to include earlier.

[awarzynski]

mlir/lib/Bytecode/Reader/BytecodeReader.cpp

992–995

It would, parseByte also returns LogicalResult. Thanks!

mlir/lib/Dialect/Vector/IR/VectorOps.cpp

3537

Good point. I took another look and decided to remove the assert. It should be safe, though it's tricky to trigger this code path just now. IIUC, first I need to update the transform dialect to allow something like this vector_sizes [2, [4], 8].

[kuhar]

LGTM

(On Diff #533899)

nit: this variable name is a bit confusing at first I thought new meant this is temporary until numScalableDims is removed, but then realised it's copied from setShape? The latter is doing an update so it is new, but that's not the case during construction. How about scalableDims but use this to refer to the class member?

     can be fixed-length, scalable, or a combination of the two. The scalable
