Samremes/zero init splitk#2
Conversation
Fix a custom-op contract bug that corrupted generation on the fused BlockScale SplitK zero-init path. The *_blockscale_splitk ops were registered mutates_args=["output"] but also returned `output`, so infer_schema declared a fresh (non-aliasing) return while the impl handed back the mutated buffer. Inductor trusted the schema, treated the output buffer as dead after the call, and reused it for the next block's zero-init prologue -- clobbering the still-live result (manifests with >=2 chained fused GEMM blocks). Make the splitk ops pure in-place (return None); the fusion pass already routes consumers through the mutated SSA edge, so the buffer stays live and Inductor cannot reuse it. Includes the fusion pass + producer/gemm ops, unit tests, and the repro/bench/diagnostic scripts for the fusion. Verified: multi-block reproducer (nb=1..4) passes with default Inductor buffer reuse (previously corrupted at nb>=2); direct custom-op contract check passes; pass unit tests 11/12 (the one failure is a pre-existing aiter gemma fused_qk_rmsnorm_group_quant type-check, unrelated).

Rewrite non-stand-alone commentary in the blockscale SplitK zero-init
fusion sources so each comment/docstring reads as standalone technical
rationale for a reviewer with no knowledge of the original investigation.
- Drop references to a private codebase ("ATOM"), internal PR numbers,
and investigation-era phase/producer labels (P1..P4, "Phase-2").
- Remove quoted experimental results (microsecond costs, tuning-sweep CSV
paths) and investigation narrative ("regression guard against an earlier
bug", "reproduces the error from server boot").
- Reword the remaining rationale (e.g. why the split-K ops must mutate
output in place and never return/alias it) as plain standalone text.
Comment/docstring (and a couple of assert-message) text only; no code,
identifiers, or logic changed.

Drops the AITER_DEBUG_* tensor-tracing helper module and the call sites that were wired into the FP8 block-scale GEMM and quantization paths, restoring those functions to their upstream form. The zero-init SplitK fusion does not depend on this instrumentation. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

Pull request overview
This PR adds a ROCm/AITER-only compilation pass to fuse blockscale FP8 GEMM SplitK output zero-initialization into upstream producer kernels, reducing standalone zero-fill work before SplitK GEMMs.
Changes:
- Adds
fuse_blockscale_splitk_zero_initpass configuration and pass-manager integration. - Registers new AITER custom ops for zero-init-capable producers and preallocated-output SplitK GEMMs.
- Adds FX rewrite logic, ROCm-focused tests, and benchmark/debug tooling for Qwen3-Next FP8 scenarios.

…, Gemma test kwargs - uuid(): hash all registered pattern builders + _make_extra_check so a source change to any builder invalidates the Inductor compiled-graph cache. - Attribution walk: derive the zero-init buffer's getitem index per producer (functional-output count) instead of hardcoding 2, so the residual producer (buffer at index 3) is attributed correctly in the match table. - per_token_quant_with_zero_init (real + fake): allocate the output with quant_dtype instead of always FP8, matching rocm_aiter_per_token_quant. - Gemma producer test: call the op with kwargs to match the all-kwargs call shape built by _make_2_input_producer_pattern.
