vcb XeLPG non-determinism

[Bernhard M. Wiedemann]

While working on reproducible builds for openSUSE, I found that
our intel-graphics-compiler 1.0.14062.11 package varied from variations in VCEmulation64.cpp that I traced down to this reproducer with igc-1.0.14508.16 :

cd /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/build/IGC/VectorCompiler/lib/BiF && for cpu in Gen11 XeHPG XeLP XeHPC Gen9LP XeHP Gen9 Gen8 XeLPG ; do echo -n $cpu: ; for i in $(seq 100) ; do cd /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/build/IGC/VectorCompiler/lib/BiF && ../../../Release/vcb -o o -cpu $cpu VCBuiltins64.opt.bc ; md5sum o ; done|sort|uniq -c ; done

or the shorter version

for i in $(seq 30) ; do cd /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/build/IGC/VectorCompiler/lib/BiF && ../../../Release/vcb -o o -cpu XeLPG VCBuiltins64.opt.bc ; md5sum o ; done|sort|uniq -c|wc -l
4

I found that disabling ASLR with setarch -R is a workaround to make results deterministic.

I'm unable to reproduce this with your reproducer. This is what I tried:

$ osc build
$ osc shell
$ cd /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/build/IGC/VectorCompiler/lib/BiF && for cpu in Gen11 XeHPG XeLP XeHPC Gen9LP XeHP Gen9 Gen8 XeLPG ; do echo -n $cpu: ; for i in $(seq 100) ; do cd /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/build/IGC/VectorCompiler/lib/BiF && ../../../Release/vcb -o o -cpu $cpu VCBuiltins64.opt.bc ; md5sum o ; done|sort|uniq -c ; done

Am I missing something?

[Bernhard M. Wiedemann]

IIRC, I ran it after a full build with cmake + make https://code.opensuse.org/package/intel-graphics-compiler/blob/master/f/intel-graphics-compiler.spec#_142

[Igor Gorban]

Many thanks for find the issue - I can reproduce it locally. Working on it.

[Igor Gorban]

Fix was merged in 4354d0b, locally failure is no more reproduced after this commit. Could you please check?

[Bernhard M. Wiedemann]

I tested that the patch indeed made the intel-graphics-compiler package build reproducible.
