This PR also fixes a bug in VAE processing of stable-diffusion.cpp that caused fully white image to be generated. Thank you for your contribution! |

Overview
Fix the second-stage max reduction in the SYCL softmax kernel when a workgroup contains more subgroups than
WARP_SIZE.Previously, after each subgroup wrote its partial max to
buf_iw[warp_id], the cross-subgroup reduction only loaded:This only reduces the first
WARP_SIZEpartial maxima. For example, on Intel GPUs,WARP_SIZEcan be 16 while the softmax workgroup size is 1024, producing nwarps = 64. In that case, partial maxima frombuf_iw[16..63]were ignored.If the true row max is in one of the ignored subgroups, softmax subtracts a too-small max value. For large attention logits this can overflow
exp(x - max)toinf, eventually producingNaN.Requirements
