implement 5 of 6 missing backward pass operations used by llama
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
- GGML_OP_DIAG_MASK_INF
- GGML_OP_GET_ROWS
- GGML_OP_RMS_NORM
- GGML_OP_SILU
- GGML_OP_SOFT_MAX

add necessary ggml operations GGML_OP_ADD1, GGML_OP_SILU_BACK, GGML_OP_RMS_NORM_BACK, GGML_OP_DIAG_MASK_ZERO, and GGML_OP_ROPE_BACK

GGML_OP_ADD1 is necessary to add a scalar value in the backward pass of GGML_OP_SOFT_MAX
GGML_OP_ADD1 could also be replaced by using GGML_OP_ADD and GGML_OP_REPEAT, but the performance would be worse. additionally GGML_OP_REPEAT will return unexpected value when the the input to GGML_OP_SOFT_MAX contains only a single scalar. in this case GGML_OP_REPEAT will not return the value that should be repeated (src1) but the value which shape the result should take (src0). So in this case it can not replace GGML_OP_ADD1.

GGML_OP_SILU_BACK, GGML_OP_RMS_NORM_BACK and GGML_OP_ROPE_BACK are necessary for backward pass of GGML_OP_SILU, GGML_OP_RMS_NORM and GGML_OP_ROPE. The backward pass for these functions cannot be easily composed of existing operations. Since the backward pass builds a computation graph we need operations forward pass implementations of the the required backward passes. Sounds a bit confusing at first, I know...

GGML_OP_DIAG_MASK_ZERO is necessary for backward pass of GGML_OP_DIAG_MASK_INF.

Some operations where previously inplace-only. for backward pass there needs to be non-inplace variants.
staying consistent with other operations that have non-inplace and inplace variants, the operations are changed to non-inplace and
functions with "_inplace" are added which are inplace.
in llama we need to call the inplace variants so that it is implemented as before.
for llama backward pass we need to use the non-inplace variants.

still not completely implemented backward passes for llama:

- GGML_OP_ROPE: needs forward pass for GGML_OP_ROPE_BACK
- GGML_OP_GET_ROWS: only necessary for tokenizer
