juuso-oskari a3714e82cf CK-UA: revert unrelated fmha touches not consumed by unified_attention
Eight files outside the UA scope had drifted onto this branch over time
via earlier commits whose subject lines explicitly carried no "CK-UA:"
prefix — they are independent fmha bug fixes and codegen additions that
do not touch any code path the unified_attention example, kernel or
pipeline actually compiles or includes.

Reverted to the merge-base content of:

  include/ck_tile/ops/fmha/block/block_masking.hpp    (-39 lines)
      added by 6729989b9 "Fix FMHA split-KV for paged-KV with
      page_block_size < kN0"

  include/ck_tile/ops/fmha/kernel/fmha_fwd_kernel.hpp (-2 lines)
      added by ec2db01e4 "Fix fmha_fwd early-exit bug: seqlen_q <=
      min_seqlen_q should be <"

  example/ck_tile/01_fmha/codegen/ops/fmha_pagedkv_prefill.py
  example/ck_tile/01_fmha/codegen/ops/fmha_batch_prefill.py

  example/ck_tile/01_fmha/fmha_fwd_runner.hpp
  example/ck_tile/01_fmha/mask.hpp
      added by 63821af1f / cb6fb2802 / c5600bc8a / e5272603c / 10564b0c4
      / cd7ba6e2e / 07ba03bcb — split-KV decode tiles, codegen tweaks,
      and a sliding-window mask fix, all in the 01_fmha example program
      (a separate build target; the UA example lives in
      42_unified_attention and pulls in zero 01_fmha sources).

These commits are still reachable from the branch's reflog and from
their original commit hashes; they should each be cherry-picked onto
their own branches and sent upstream as standalone fmha bug-fix PRs —
they look like clean fixes that upstream would welcome, but they don't
belong in the UA PR's scope.

Verified empirically: clean JIT rebuild of module_unified_attention
followed by both regression shapes pass at full perf
  b=128/sk=16384/d=128/bf16  : 1.5152 ms, 5672 GB/s, PASS
  b=1/sk=1M/d=128/bf16 nb=70k : 0.7677 ms, 5594 GB/s, PASS
matching the pre-revert numbers to within run-to-run noise.

Branch's shared-CK touch surface after this revert: tile_scatter_gather.hpp
(+152 from our async_load_raw_long method), load_tile.hpp (+21 from the
sister dispatcher), warp_gemm[.|_dispatcher.]hpp (+13 for the FP8 e4m3
small-tile registration), and the new amd_global_load_lds_raw.hpp file.
Down from 14 shared files to 4.

CK Tile Example Suite

This directory contains a comprehensive suite of examples demonstrating the CK Tile programming model for high-performance GPU kernels. Each example illustrates a key deep learning or HPC operation, implemented using tile-based parallelism, modular pipelines, and data movement policy.


What is CK Tile?

CK Tile is a composable GPU programming API that expresses kernels as a composition of "tiles"—rectangular blocks of computation and data movement. The pipeline & policy orchestrates data movement (global <-> LDS <-> registers), computation, and synchronization, enabling high efficiency and flexibility.
