# Problem
Inductor implicitly upcasts certain rank-0 kernel arguments from float16 to float32. Currently, this happens only on the `"cpu"` device, which appears to be related to float16 support in CPU Triton. However, it can also affect the behavior of GPU kernels, when a model contains tensors from multiple devices. Upcasting may be undesirable on some platforms, so users can typically disable it with the `config.triton.codegen_upcast_to_fp32` flag. However, this flag was not respected by the rank-0 kernel argument codepath.
Through an improbable series of events, float32 upcasting caused an internal model to fail compilation on MTIA. (Internal reviewers see T242444110.)
# Fix
If `config.triton.codegen_upcast_to_fp32` evaluates to `False`, cast the kernel argument to the original dtype.
# Test plan
Added a new CI test checking for the downcast iff the config flag is false. The test mixes GPU and CPU tensors to generate a GPU kernel with the implicit float32 upcast and explicit float16 downcast.

By allowing the options classes (`BlockPtrOptions`/`TensorDescriptorOptions`) to be overridden in `TritonKernel`, subclasses with custom behaviour can be used in place of them, which provides greater flexibility.

### Implementation of #151705
This PR introduces the initial implementation of native `tl.dot` support in Inductor, with the goal of generating Triton matmul kernels directly—without relying on predefined templates.
To avoid complexity and ease the review process, I plan to split this work into two phases as outlined in #151705:
1. **Basic support** (this PR)
2. **Lazy broadcasting** for optimal performance (future PR)
### Summary of This PR
This PR implements the basic functionality. It does **not** include lazy broadcasting, so the generated kernels may involve explicit `tl.reshape` and `tl.trans` operations before calling `tl.dot`, which introduces some overhead.
### Notable Changes
1. Adds a new config flag: `config.triton.enable_native_matmul`
2. Introduces a new `ops.dot` IR node in Inductor and lowers `aten.mm` and `aten.bmm` to it when native matmul is enabled
3. Enforces tililng suitable for matmul when the native matmul flag is enabled
4. Implements code generation for `ops.dot`
5. Adds Triton autotuning heuristics: for now, I’ve copied the configuration from the existing matmul templates. However, this may not be optimal—it currently takes a long time to tune, and I think there must be a better way to tackle this.

Verify the deterministic mode with torch.compile benchmark scripts.
Here is what my testing script does (pasted in the end):
- run a model in default mode, save it's result
- run the model again in default mode, but distort the benchmarking results. Compare it with the saved result.
- Do the above again in deterministic mode.
I tried to test a few modes
- BertForMaskedLM and GoogleFnet: I can repro the numeric change by distorting the benchnmark result in the default mode. The non-determinism is gone in the deterministic mode
- DistillGPT2: I can not repro the numeric change by distorting the benchmarking result in the default mode. It does not surprise me much. Reduction order change does not always cause numeric change.

Add a deterministic mode to skip the on device benchmarking that we know should affect numeric. This include
- pad-mm
- dynamic rblock scaling
- template autotuning
- coordinate descent tuning for reduction
- reduction config autotuning in CachingAutotuner. For reduction both RBLOCK, num_warps should affect numeric. XBLOCK does not. We can still autotune XBLOCK for reductions.
- benchmarking for computation communication reordering pass
The mode definitely has perf hit.

Fixes#163702.
This fixes 2 issues:
1. The value may inconsistently be a shape or string. This normalizes to handle both of these.
2. 1D shapes should not transpose data. This fixes the order of operations to prevent this.

Summary:
- Move the `provenance_level` flag check to inside the `set_kernel_post_grad_provenance_tracing` call to simply the code
- Move the `set_kernel_post_grad_provenance_tracing` call and `write_provenance_debug_handle` call to `codegen_comment`.
- If some `call_kernel` call sites don't have a proceeding `codegen_comment` call, add one. Now all `call_kernel` call sites are accompanied with a `codegen_comment` call.
- Add a `codegen_comment` method to BaseScheduling and remove the noop `codegen_comment` method in Scheduling
- Remove `debug_handle` from `call_kernel`.
