On RHEL9 the GCC is new enough to support AVX512-VNNI, but its assembler
(binutils) is not and errors with

Error: unsupported instruction vpdpbusd

This was already addressed earlier in #1562 to some extent, except that
a check for _mm256_dpbusd_epi32 was not added, which is what the
assembler errors over. So, check the 256 bit version as well.

After some more digging, seems that the difference is that when just
-mavx512vl -mavx512vnni flags are given, the following assembly is
generated, which is not problematic for the assembler:

      vpdpbusd        %ymm0, %ymm0, %ymm0

whereas with -march=sapphirerapids the following is, which is apparently
problematic for the assembler:

      {vex} vpdpbusd  %ymm0, %ymm0, %ymm0

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Updated the system check for AVX512-VNNI support to test both 512-bit and 256-bit variants during configuration. This enhances compatibility detection on different hardware platforms. No changes to user-facing features or public interfaces.

"""

Walkthrough

The AVX512-VNNI intrinsics detection logic in both CMake and configure scripts was updated. The test code now checks for both 512-bit and 256-bit variants of the dpbusd intrinsic, using explicit zero-initialization and storing results in volatile variables. No changes were made to exported or public entities.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Change Summary
CMake AVX512-VNNI Intrinsics Test
cmake/detect-intrinsics.cmake
Updated the macro to use a test program that checks both 512-bit and 256-bit dpbusd intrinsics with explicit zero-initialization and volatile result storage.
Configure AVX512-VNNI Intrinsics Test
configure
Modified the AVX512-VNNI test to match the new structure: main function, both 512-bit and 256-bit intrinsic checks, volatile result storage, and explicit return.
