Merge conflicts araised has been fixed while downstreaming BLIS code from master to milan-3.1 branch
Implemented an automatic reduction in the number of threads when the user requests parallelism via a single number (ie: the automatic way) and (a) that number of threads is prime, and (b) that number exceeds a minimum threshold defined by the macro BLIS_NT_MAX_PRIME, which defaults to 11. If prime numbers are really desired, this feature may be suppressed by defining the macro BLIS_ENABLE_AUTO_PRIME_NUM_THREADS in the appropriate configuration family's bli_family_*.h. (Jeff Diamond)
Changed default value of BLIS_THREAD_RATIO_M from 2 to 1, which leads to slightly different automatic thread factorizations.
Enable the 1m method only if the real domain microkernel is not a reference kernel. BLIS now forgoes use of 1m if both the real and complex domain kernels are reference implementations.
Relocated the general stride handling for gemmsup. This fixed an issue whereby gemm would fail to trigger to conventional code path for cases that use general stride even after gemmsup rejected the problem. (RuQing Xu)
Fixed an incorrect function signature (and prototype) of bli_?gemmt(). (RuQing Xu)
Redefined BLIS_NUM_ARCHS to be part of the arch_t enum, which means it will be updated automatically when defining future subconfigs.
Minor code consolidation in all level-3 _front() functions.
Reorganized Windows cpp branch of bli_pthreads.c.
Implemented bli_pthread_self() and _equals(), but left them commented out (via cpp guards) due to issues with getting the Windows versions working. Thankfully, these functions aren't yet needed by BLIS.
Allow disabling of trsm diagonal pre-inversion at compile time via --disable-trsm-preinversion.
Fixed obscure testsuite bug for the gemmt test module that relates to its dependency on gemv.

Merged contributions from AMD's AOCL BLIS (#448).
Details:
- Added support for level-3 operation gemmt, which performs a gemm on
only the lower or upper triangle of a square matrix C. For now, only
the conventional/large code path will be supported (in vanilla BLIS).
This was accomplished by leveraging the existing variant logic for
herk. However, some of the infrastructure to support a gemmtsup is
included in this commit, including
- A bli_gemmtsup() front-end, similar to bli_gemmsup().
- A bli_gemmtsup_ref() reference handler function.
- A bli_gemmtsup_int() variant chooser function (with variant calls
commented out).
- Added support for inducing complex domain gemmt via the 1m method.
- Added gemmt APIs to the BLAS and CBLAS compatiblity layers.
- Added gemmt test module to testsuite.
- Added standalone gemmt test driver to 'test' directory.
- Documented gemmt APIs in BLISObjectAPI.md and BLISTypedAPI.md.
- Added a C++ template header (blis.hh) containing a BLAS-inspired
wrapper to a set of polymorphic CBLAS-like function wrappers defined
in another header (cblas.hh). These two headers are installed if
running the 'install' target with INSTALL_HH is set to 'yes'. (Also
added a set of unit tests that exercise blis.hh, although they are
disabled for now because they aren't compatible with out-of-tree
builds.) These files now live in the 'vendor' top-level directory.
- Various updates to 'zen' and 'zen2' subconfigurations, particularly
within the context initialization functions.
- Added s and d copyv, setv, and swapv kernels to kernels/zen/1, and
various minor updates to dotv and scalv kernels. Also added various
sup kernels contributed by AMD to kernels/zen/3. However, these
kernels are (for now) not yet used, in part because they caused
AppVeyor clang failures, and also because I have not found time to
review and vet them.
- Output the python found during configure into the definition of PYTHON
in build/config.mk (via build/config.mk.in).
- Added early-return checks (A, B, or C with zero dimension; alpha = 0)
to bli_gemm_front.c.
- Implemented explicit beta = 0 handling in for the sgemm ukernel in
bli_gemm_armv7a_int_d4x4.c, which was previously missing. This latent
bug surfaced because the gemmt module verifies its computation using
gemm with its beta parameter set to zero, which, on a cortexa15 system
caused the gemm kernel code to unconditionally multiply the
uninitialized C data by beta. The C matrix likely contained
non-numeric values such as NaN, which then would have resulted in a
false failure.
- Fixed a bug whereby the implementation for bli_herk_determine_kc(),
in bli_l3_blocksize.c, was inadvertantly being defined in terms of
helper functions meant for trmm. This bug was probably harmless since
the trmm code should have also done the right thing for herk.
- Used cpp macros to neutralize the various AOCL_DTL_TRACE_ macros in
kernels/zen/3/bli_gemm_small.c since those macros are not used in
vanilla BLIS.
- Added cpp guard to definition of bli_mem_clear() in bli_mem.h to
accommodate C++'s stricter type checking.
- Added cpp guard to test/*.c drivers that facilitate compilation on
Windows systems.
- Various whitespace changes.
Details:
- Kernel is called directly from API call to avoid framework overhead in case of complex float and complex double precisions.
- Added SIMD code for complex float and complex double and unrolled for loop 5 times to improve performance

Details:
- Introduced a new macro 'BLIS_CONFIG_EPYC' to enable blas and cblas
framework optimizations for zen family configurations.
- The macro needs to be defined in family.h files of respective arch
configs.
- Moved zen2-specific optimized kernels to zen folder, in order to be
accessible to all zen family architectures.
Change-Id: I8da2db6b7ab22ef350a01d86c214006e812eb06d
Details:
- For GEMV whenever beta = 0, we should not scale vector 'y' with beta,
instead overwrite the 'y' vector with zeroes before carrying out the
operation.
