Subject: [PATCH 15/28] Disable FMADD in chains for Zen4 and generic

this patch disables use of FMA in matrix multiplication loop for generic (for
x86-64-v3) and zen4.  I tested this on zen4 and Xenon Gold Gold 6212U.

For Intel this is neutral both on the matrix multiplication microbenchmark
(attached) and spec2k17 where the difference was within noise for Core.

On core the micro-benchmark runs as follows:

With FMA:

578,500,241      cycles:u                         #    3.645 GHz
                ( +-  0.12% )
       753,318,477      instructions:u                   #    1.30  insn per
cycle              ( +-  0.00% )
       125,417,701      branches:u                       #  790.227 M/sec
                ( +-  0.00% )
          0.159146 +- 0.000363 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.23% )

No FMA:

577,573,960      cycles:u                         #    3.514 GHz
                ( +-  0.15% )
       878,318,479      instructions:u                   #    1.52  insn per
cycle              ( +-  0.00% )
       125,417,702      branches:u                       #  763.035 M/sec
                ( +-  0.00% )
          0.164734 +- 0.000321 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.19% )

So the cycle count is unchanged and discrete multiply+add takes same time as
FMA.

While on zen:

With FMA:
         484875179      cycles:u                         #    3.599 GHz
             ( +-  0.05% )  (82.11%)
         752031517      instructions:u                   #    1.55  insn per
cycle
         125106525      branches:u                       #  928.712 M/sec
             ( +-  0.03% )  (85.09%)
            128356      branch-misses:u                  #    0.10% of all
branches          ( +-  0.06% )  (83.58%)

No FMA:
         375875209      cycles:u                         #    3.592 GHz
             ( +-  0.08% )  (80.74%)
         875725341      instructions:u                   #    2.33  insn per
cycle
         124903825      branches:u                       #    1.194 G/sec
             ( +-  0.04% )  (84.59%)
          0.105203 +- 0.000188 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.18% )

The diffrerence is that Cores understand the fact that fmadd does not need
all three parameters to start computation, while Zen cores doesn't.

Since this seems noticeable win on zen and not loss on Core it seems like good
default for generic.

float a[SIZE][SIZE];
float b[SIZE][SIZE];
float c[SIZE][SIZE];

void init(void)
{
   int i, j, k;
   for(i=0; i<SIZE; ++i)
   {
      for(j=0; j<SIZE; ++j)
      {
         a[i][j] = (float)i + j;
         b[i][j] = (float)i - j;
         c[i][j] = 0.0f;
      }
   }
}

void mult(void)
{
   int i, j, k;

for(i=0; i<SIZE; ++i)
   {
      for(j=0; j<SIZE; ++j)
      {
         for(k=0; k<SIZE; ++k)
         {
            c[i][j] += a[i][k] * b[k][j];
         }
      }
   }
}

int main(void)
{
   clock_t s, e;

init();
   s=clock();
   mult();
   e=clock();
   printf("        mult took %10d clocks\n", (int)(e-s));

return 0;

}
