Intel: 5G ISA: x86: Enumerate AVX512 FP16 CPUID feature flag
mainline inclusion from mainline-5.11 commit e1b35da5 category: feature feature: SPR New instructions bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/intel-kernel/issues/I596EH CVE: N/A Intel-SIG: commit e1b35da5 x86: Enumerate AVX512 FP16 CPUID feature flag Backport for SPR core 5G ISA support. ------------------------------------- Enumerate AVX512 Half-precision floating point (FP16) CPUID feature flag. Compared with using FP32, using FP16 cut the number of bits required for storage in half, reducing the exponent from 8 bits to 5, and the mantissa from 23 bits to 10. Using FP16 also enables developers to train and run inference on deep learning models fast when all precision or magnitude (FP32) is not needed. A processor supports AVX512 FP16 if CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):EDX[bit 23] is present. The AVX512 FP16 requires AVX512BW feature be implemented since the instructions for manipulating 32bit masks are associated with AVX512BW. The only in-kernel usage of this is kvm passthrough. The CPU feature flag is shown as "avx512_fp16" in /proc/cpuinfo.
