Summary:
I'd like the following pattern (a natural composition of Amp with full fwd+bwd capture) to work:
```python
# Create "static_input" with dummy data, run warmup iterations,
# call optimizer.zero_grad(set_to_none=True), then
g = torch.cuda._Graph()
s.wait_stream(torch.cuda.current_stream())
with torch.cuda.stream(s):
optimizer.zero_grad(set_to_none=True)
g.capture_begin()
with autocast():
out = model(static_input)
loss = loss_fn(out)
scaler.scale(loss).backward()
g.capture_end()
torch.cuda.current_stream().wait_stream(s)
# Training loop:
for b in data:
# optimizer.zero_grad() deliberately omitted, replay()'s baked-in backward will refill statically held .grads
static_input.copy_(b)
g.replay()
scaler.step(optimizer)
scaler.update()
```
Right now `GradScaler` can't work with this pattern because `update()` creates the scale tensor for the next iteration out of place. This PR changes `update()` to act in place on a long-lived scale tensor that stays static across iterations.
I'm not sure how this change affects XLA (see https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/pull/48570), so we shouldn't merge without approval from ailzhang yaochengji.
Tagged bc-breaking because it's a change to the amp update utility function in native_functions.yaml. The function was never meant to be user-facing though.
