ck_tile: add FillUniformScaleDistribution and fix MX GEMM
 scale init (#7724)

## Summary

### Problem
MX GEMM pipeline tests were passing vacuously: scale bytes were drawn
from a fixed range (40–60) which, for e8m0, maps to scales ≈ 10⁻²⁷ — far
below FP16 min denorm. Both GPU and CPU produced all-zero outputs, so
numerical checks passed without exercising the GEMM.

### Changes

**`include/ck_tile/host/fill.hpp`** — new
`FillUniformScaleDistribution<ScaleType>` functor
- Accepts human-readable float bounds and maps them to the raw byte
range of any ExMy scale type (e8m0, e4m3, e5m3) by re-centering the IEEE
754 exponent into the type's bias space
- Sampling is uniform over raw bytes → uniform over representable values
- Fixes left-shift UB: uses multiplication instead of `<< mant_bits` to
avoid shifting negative signed integers (C++17 UB)
- Adds `assert(min_r <= max_r)` to catch inverted-range UB when both
bounds exceed the type's representable range
- Provides default member values (0.125f, 2.0f) and `std::optional` seed
consistent with sibling fillers
- `/** */` Doxygen style with `@note` on snapping asymmetry

**`test/ck_tile/gemm_mx/test_mx_gemm_pipeline_util.hpp`** — fix scale
initialization
- Replace manual byte-range distribution with
`FillUniformScaleDistribution<>{0.125f, 2.0f}`
- Use distinct seeds for scale_a (11941) and scale_b (11943) to avoid
correlated scale tensors that were causing 60 test failures for
fp4+e5m3/e4m3 combinations

**`test/ck_tile/utility/test_fill.cpp`** — new unit tests for
`FillUniformScaleDistribution`
- 16 typed tests across e8m0, e4m3, e5m3: validity, range,
reproducibility, coverage, snapping, stress, nullopt seed, and range
overload
- Test helper `expected_raw_range` mirrors implementation clamping

CK Tile Testing Guide

This document describes the test organization and available test targets for CK Tile operations.

Overview

CK Tile tests are organized with multiple levels of granularity to support different development workflows:

  1. Global test labels - Run tests across all operations
  2. Operation-specific umbrella targets - Run all tests for a specific operation
  3. Individual test executables - Run specific tests

Global Test Labels

These targets run tests across all CK operations (not just CK Tile):

ninja smoke

Run fast smoke tests (tests that complete within ~30 seconds on gfx90a).

ninja smoke

ninja regression

Run slower, more comprehensive regression tests.

ninja regression

ninja check

Run ALL available tests in the entire codebase.

ninja check

Operation-Specific Umbrella Targets

These targets allow you to run all tests for a specific CK Tile operation. This is useful when making changes to a particular operation and wanting to validate all related tests without running the entire test suite.

GEMM Operations

ck_tile_gemm_tests

Run all basic GEMM pipeline tests (memory, compute variants, persistent, etc.)

ninja ck_tile_gemm_tests

Test executables included:

  • test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_mem

  • test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_compv6
  • test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_comp_async (gfx95 only)
  • test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_*_wmma variants (gfx11/gfx12 only)

ck_tile_gemm_block_scale_tests

Run all GEMM tests with block-scale quantization (AQuant, BQuant, ABQuant, etc.)

ninja ck_tile_gemm_block_scale_tests
