_mm_fmadd_pd 程序收到信号 SIGILL，非法指令

Question

我收到以下代码的奇怪错误：

#include <assert.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <immintrin.h>

inline static double myfma(double x,double y, double z) {
    double r; // result                                                                                                                                                     
    __m128d xx, yy, zz,rr;

    xx = _mm_set_sd(x);// xx[0]=x, xx[1]=undefined                                                                                                                          
    yy = _mm_set_sd(y);// yy[0]=y, yy[1]=undefined                                                                                                                          
    zz = _mm_set_sd(z);// zz[0]=z, zz[1]=undefined                                                                                                                          
    r = _mm_cvtsd_f64(_mm_fmadd_pd(xx,yy,zz));

    return r;
}

void testfma() {
    double x, y, z, res;
    x = 1.0;
    y = 2.0;
    z = 3.0;

    res =  myfma(x,y,z);
    printf("test: res = x*y + z \n");
    printf("    x: %g\n", x);
    printf("    y: %g\n", y);
    printf("    z: %g\n", z);
    assert(res == 5.0);
}


int main() {
    testfma();
    return 0; 
}

将代码编译为：

g++ test.cpp -o a.out -std=c++11 -mavx2 -mfma  -march=native -g

当我运行可执行文件时，我收到消息：

Illegal instruction (core dumped)

使用 gdb 以获得更多详细信息：

gdb ./a.out
(gdb) r
(gdb) r
Starting program: ....

Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
0x000000000040067d in _mm_fmadd_pd(double __vector(2), double __vector(2), double __vector(2)) (__C=..., __B=..., __A=...)
    at /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5/include/fmaintrin.h:42
42                                                 (__v2df)__C);

然而，当使用 valgrind 时如下：

valgrind ./a.out
==9825== Memcheck, a memory error detector

该程序似乎可以运行。我在这里缺少什么？如何以可靠的方式使用 _mm_fmadd_pd？无论运行在 Intel 或 AMD 处理器中使用，都可以使示例正常工作吗？无论使用 g++ 还是 icpc 都可以编译吗？

Answer 1

我猜你的 CPU 不支持 FMA 指令。它在 valgrind 下不会失败的原因是因为 valgrind 可以模拟某些指令。

您可能要考虑使用 std::fma if you only want SISD. With gcc it generates an inline FMA instruction, but if you compile for a non-FMA target then it will fall back to a non-FMA implementation。
