At some point in the past month, stablehlo gained a number of patches that implement a non-trivial bit of threaded reference code. It fails to compile in Windows in pretty catastrophic ways.
But this isn't the main problem: by way of the MLIR CMake macros being used, if we include stablehlo before our code, we end up building the whole project, whether needed or not.
We just have to do this: I ran into an issue today where I needed to make a one line patch to stablehlo to work around a compiler issue, and it is completely unapparent how to do so given that the mlir-hlo repo is a read-only export and is at the tail end of a multi-week integration chain from the open-source stablehlo repo.
We've discussed this often enough and gotten +1 from everyone that they are ok with taking the e2e testing hit if it becomes necessary: It is necessary as the current situation is unmanageable.
Looking at it, I expect it wouldn't actually be very difficult to build a little runner binary out of the stablehlo interpreter and subprocess call that in order to get the testing coverage back. I leave that as an exercise to the users of this part of the stack and recommend following the breadcrumbs from the deleted python/torch_mlir_e2e_test/stablehlo_backends/linalg_on_tensors.py file and the main.py changes.
Note that I am pointing us at a stablehlo fork for the moment until it is apparent that we don't need to carry any local patches to it. We can update this in a few days if everything is clear.
This patch, by itself, doesn't fix caching on Windows, but once a new
release of ccache is available, caching for Windows builds should start
working again (validated by building ccache from source and using it
with LLVM builds).
Ccache rejects caching when either the `/Zi` or `/ZI` flags are used
during compilation on Windows, since these flags tell the compiler to
embed debug information in a PDB file (separate from the object file
produced by the compiler). In particular, our CI builds add the `/Zi`
flag, making ccache mark these compiler invocations as uncacheable.
But what caused our CI to add debug flags, especially when we specified
`-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release`? On Windows, unless we specify the
`--config Release` flag during the CMake build step, CMake assumes a
debug build. So all this while, we had been producing debug builds of
torch-mlir for every PR! No doubt it took so long to build the Windows
binaries.
The reason for having to specify the configuration during the _build_
step (as opposed to the _configure_ step) of CMake on Windows is that
CMake's Visual Studio generators will produce _both_ Release and Debug
profiles during the CMake configure step (thus requiring a build-time
value that tells CMake whether to build in Release or Debug mode).
Luckily, on Linux and macOS, the `--config` flag seems to be simply
ignored, instead of causing build errors.
Strangely, based on cursory tests, it seems like on Windows we need to
specify the Relase configuration as both `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release` as
well as `--config Release`. Dropping either made my build switch to a
Debug configuration.
Additionally, there is a bug in ccache v4.8 (although this is addressed
in trunk) that causes ccache to reject caching if the compiler
invocation includes any flag that starts with `/Z`, including /`Zc`,
which is added by LLVM's HandleLLVMOptions.cmake and which isn't related
to debug info or PDB files. The next release of ccache should include
the fix, which is to reject caching only for `/Zi` and `/ZI` flags and
not all flags that start with `/Z`.
As a side note, debugging this problem was possible because of ccache's
log file, which is enabled by: `ccache --set-config="log_file=log.txt"`.
This patch replaces all MHLO operations with their StableHLO
counterparts and adds a validation pass to ensure that no MHLO operations
remain before translating all Stablehlo operations to the MHLO dialect
for further lowering to the Linalg dialect.
This patch also updates all lit tests so that they refer to the
`convert-torch-to-stablehlo` pass and so that they check for StableHLO
operations.
This patch makes a few small, but key, changes to enable ccache on
Windows. First, it replaces the hendrikmuhs/ccache-action action with
command line invocations to the ccache binary, since the action has two
bugs, one of which causes CI to refer to different ccache artifacts
before versus after the build on Windows whereas the other bug can
sometimes cause the action to incorrectly infer that the cache is empty.
Second, this patch slightly alters the cache key, so that our old cache
artifacts, which have grown too big, are eventually discarded in favor
of the new, smaller cache artifacts. Along the way, this patch also
keeps the RollPyTorch's cache artifact separate from the regular build's
cache artifact so as to keep these artifacts small, and also because the
RollPyTorch action is off the critical path for most contributors.
Finally, this patch makes small changes to the CMake file so that on
Windows, the ccache binary is added as a prefix, as recommended on the
[ccache Wiki](https://github.com/ccache/ccache/wiki/MS-Visual-Studio).

Follows up on #623 for out-of-tree builds of torch-mlir, which
added building `torch-mir-dialects` as a subdirectory.
Our goal is to support both in-tree and out-of-tree builds of
`torch-mlir` with minimum hassle, for instance by using the same
variable names in both setups.
Specific changes to `externals/llvm-external-projects/torch-mlir-dialects/CMakeLists.txt`:
- We use `MLIR_FOUND` to detect that it is being build as a subdirectory
and the llvm+mlir cmake infrastructure is already set up (via
find_package in the parent build) as opposed to an in-tree build.
- For in-tree, the setting of variables and loading of llvm+mlir cmake
infrastructure is now conditionally performed.
- For in-tree, the names of cmake variables being defined for are
adjusted to match those `llvm-project` makes available through
`find_package(MLIR REQUIRED CONFIG)`, under the assumption that those
are the more "standardized" names.

Its unclear to me what the right layering is here: Are you expecting
torch-mlir-dialects to always get built with LLVM? This is pretty
breaking for us, if so.
This should be set elsewhere depending on the build configuration.
In particular, we need to be careful when cross-compiling to pick
up the host mlir-tblgen.
This is intended to explore support for non-structured ops that can't
be modeled by Linalg dialect. `tm_tensor.scan` and `tm_tensor.scatter`
are added as the first such ops. The dialect should aim to be
upstreamed in the future.
* Picks up Python configure changes (was pinned to a bad intermediate commit).
* Uses the new mlir_configure_python_dev_packages() to ensure CMake python is found consistently.
* Fixes the JIT importer to build as a MODULE vs SHARED (needed for linking to Python as a module, per config changes).
* Adds some notes to the README to help folks build a smaller set focused just on this project.
This leaves no real code outside torch-mlir.
This also renames the "npcomp backend contract" to "linalg on tensors
backend contract" as the name of the abstraction layer that RefBackend
(IREE too) accepts.
A few remain in examples/docs that will be naturally be updated in due
time.
This regresses the list support and the general direction of more widely
supported control flow, lists/dicts/globals that we were going for with
the TorchScript path. The idea is that we are deferring that work to
make torch-mlir a very clean standalone thing. We will reboot it,
probably using some of the tools of iree_pydm to make it simpler, and in
a more natural place (such as an iree-torch repo that depends on IREE and
torch-mlir to build a working PyTorch frontend solution for IREE -- it
was really weird that npcomp depended on IREE).
Fixes https://github.com/llvm/mlir-npcomp/issues/311
The key change is that TorchPlugin is folded into
`torch_mlir.dialects.torch.importer.jit_ir` (it imports the PyTorch
JIT's IR, so that's a good, scoped name for it).
The CMake option `-DTORCH_MLIR_ENABLE_JIT_IR_IMPORTER=OFF` disables it,
which allows building without a PyTorch native dependency.
Our new dependency management solution relies:
- on the C++ side with the public iree-dialects project, which we
include and are using as representative of some missing upstream
ops (so we treat them "as if" they were upstream, with the hope of
upstreaming them after some codevelopment has happened)
- on the Python side, with simple PYTHONPATH manipulation or installed
Python packages. No CMake stuff required.
It just contained the e2e testing framework. We now fold it into the
main project to reduce complexity.
- `frontends/pytorch/python/` -> `python/torch_support`
- `frontends/pytorch/e2e_testing -> e2e_testing`
- `frontends/pytorch/examples -> examples`
- `frontends/pytorch/test` -> `python/test`
- `torch_mlir_torchscript` python module -> `npcomp_torchscript`
- `torch_mlir_torchscript_e2e_test_configs` python module ->
`npcomp_torchscript_e2e_test_configs`
This also changes the license of a handful of files from the
"pytorch-style" license to the regular LLVM/npcomp license. The only
people who committed to those files were myself and Yi.
This moves the bulk of the Python code (including the Torch interop)
from `frontends/pytorch` into `torch-mlir/TorchPlugin`. This also
required reconciling a bunch of other Python-related stuff, like the
`torch` dialects.
As I did this, it was simpler to just remove all the old numpy/basicpy
stuff because we were going to delete it anyway and it was faster than
debugging an intermediate state that would only last O(days) anyway.
torch-mlir has two top-level python packages (built into the
`python_packages` directory):
- `torch_mlir_dialects`: `torch` dialect Python bindings (does not
depend on PyTorch). This also involves building the aggregate CAPI for
`torch-mlir`.
- `torch_mlir`: bindings to the part of the code that links against
PyTorch (or C++ code that transitively does).
Additionally, there remain two more Python packages in npcomp (but
outside `torch-mlir`):
- `npcomp_torch`: Contains the e2e test framework and testing configs
that plug into RefBackend and IREE.
- `npcomp_core`: Contains the low-level interfaces to RefBackend and
IREE that `npcomp_torch` uses, along with its own
`MLIR_PYTHON_PACKAGE_PREFIX=npcomp.` aggregation of the core MLIR
python bindings. (all other functionality has been stripped out)
After all the basicpy/numpy deletions, the `npcomp` C++ code is now very
tiny. It basically just contains RefBackend and the `TorchConversion`
dialect/passes (e.g. `TorchToLinalg.cpp`).
Correspondingly, there are now 4 main testing targets paralleling the
Python layering (which is reflective of the deeper underlying dependency
structure)
- `check-torch-mlir`: checks the `torch-mlir` pure MLIR C++ code.
- `check-torch-mlir-plugin`: checks the code in `TorchPlugin` (e.g.
TorchScript import)
- `check-frontends-pytorch`: Checks the little code we have in
`frontends/pytorch` -- mainly things related to the e2e framework
itself.
- `check-npcomp`: Checks the pure MLIR C++ code inside npcomp.
There is a target `check-npcomp-all` that runs all of them.
The `torch-mlir/build_standalone.sh` script does a standalone build of
`torch-mlir`.
The e2e tests (`tools/torchscript_e2e_test.sh`) are working too.
The update_torch_ods script now lives in
`torch-mlir/build_tools/update_torch_ods.sh` and expects a standalone
build.
This change also required a fix upstream related to cross-shlib Python
dependencies, so we also update llvm-project to
8dca953dd39c0cd8c80decbeb38753f58a4de580 to get
https://reviews.llvm.org/D109776 (no other fixes were needed for the
integrate, thankfully).
This completes most of the large source code changes. Next will be
bringing the CI/packaging/examples back to life.
This creates the `external/torch-mlir` directory as an
LLVM_EXTERNAL_PROJECTS-compatible project (analogous to
`iree-dialects`) and completes movement/rename of all pure MLIR C/C++
compiler code into there. The next step will be to move all the Python
code / code that links/includes PyTorch C++ code (which currently lives
in `frontends/pytorch`) into a subdirectory here.
I call this "earthmoving" because it is mostly mechanical changes and
renames. As a quick summary (we can change this down the road easily)
- C++ `mlir::NPCOMP::Torch -> mlir::torch::Torch`
- CAPI `npcompTorchListTypeGet -> torchMlirTorchListTypeGet`
- preprocessor `#ifndef NPCOMP_ -> #ifndef TORCHMLIR_`
- CMake `NPCOMPFoo -> TorchMLIRFoo`
The goal of this is to create a standalone project creating a center of
mass for entry into the MLIR ecosystem from PyTorch, suitable in scope
for eventual inclusion/ownership in PyTorch. The idea is that
`external/torch-mlir` will some day be pulled out into its own
repository, and then npcomp will simply pull it in as a submodule.
Layering-wise, what lives in `torch-mlir` lowers code from PyTorch
(currently TorchScript, but TorchFX or pytorch/xla-style tracing are
possible extensions) down to what we have been calling the "Torch
backend contract" which is cleaned up IR (inlining, simplifcation,
conversion to value tensors, ...) entirely in the `torch` dialect. This
is the branching off point for further lowering, of which npcomp takes
one opinion (outside `torch-mlir` of course!), namely the
`TorchConversion` dialect/transforms which lower to IR suitable for IREE
and other linalg-on-tensors based lower-level compilers.
Summary of changes:
- move `{include,lib,test}/Dialect/Torch` into `torch-mlir`
- move relevant parts of CAPI into `torch-mlir`.
- leave a few things related to the `torch-mlir` Python build commented
out, which should be resolved in a subsequent change.
This converts a basic list op (torch.prim.ListConstruct) to the IREE
dialect.
```
def forward(self, x: float):
return [x, x]
```
turns into:
```
builtin.func @forward(%arg0: !torch.float) -> !torch.list<!torch.float> {
%0 = torch.prim.ListConstruct %arg0, %arg0 : (!torch.float, !torch.float) -> !torch.list<!torch.float>
return %0 : !torch.list<!torch.float>
}
```
which turns into:
```
builtin.func @forward(%arg0: f64) -> !iree.list<f64> {
%c1 = constant 1 : index
%c0 = constant 0 : index
%c2 = constant 2 : index
%0 = iree.list.create %c2 : !iree.list<f64>
iree.list.set %0[%c0], %arg0 : !iree.list<f64>, f64
iree.list.set %0[%c1], %arg0 : !iree.list<f64>, f64
return %0 : !iree.list<f64>
}
```
As part of doing this, I realized that it was time to formalize the IR
form that we reach right before running TorchTo{Linalg,Std,...}. We now
call it the "Torch backend contract". We then lower the "Torch backend
contract" to the "npcomp backend contract", which involves the new
TorchConversion (`torch_c`) dialect, which holds ops that need to
operate on both the npcomp backend types (e.g. builtin tensors, i1, IREE
list, etc.) and the `!torch` types.
This made more sense, as I realized that if I didn't factor out
`torch_c` then the Torch dialect would have a dependency on IREE
dialect (we previously didn't notice this was an issue because we only
depended on `builtin` types), which seemed wrong to me.
Recommended review order:
- TorchToIREE.cpp / `TorchToIREE/basic.mlir`
- Look at the new structure of createTorchScriptToNpcompBackendPipeline.
It now lives in TorchConversion/Transforms/Passes.cpp and cleanly
calls into `Torch::createTorchScriptToTorchBackendPipeline` for the
frontend lowering to the Torch backend contract.
- Mechanical change extracting
`torch_c.{to,from}_{i1,i64,f64,builtin_tensor,iree_list}` into a new
TorchConversion dialect, and a few passes specific to the lowering
from the Torch backend contract to the npcomp backend contract.
- Minor fixes to TorchToLinalg.cpp to use unconverted operands (now that
we convert lists as part of operand materialization, we need to use
the original operands). Also added test for AtenMaxPool2dOp and fixed
m_TorchConstantIntList.
- TmpDeleteDeadIREELists pass. Temporary pass for deleting dead IREE lists that
are created as part of operand materialization for conv/max pool/avg pool ops
in TorchToLinalg.
This allows building NPCOMP as an external project of LLVM, similar to
how CIRCT can be built: https://github.com/llvm/circt/pull/227.
The CMake options to use this build style look like this:
```
-DLLVM_EXTERNAL_PROJECTS=npcomp \
-DLLVM_EXTERNAL_NPCOMP_SOURCE_DIR=/path/to/mlir-npcomp \
```
