Public bug reported:

[Impact]

rocwmma was uploaded to resolute at 7.1.0-0ubuntu1 (LP: #2141514), based on the
upstream rocm-7.1.0 source tarball. After resolute closed, AMD published the
ROCm 7.1.1 point release, which respins rocWMMA with corrected version metadata.

The upstream rocm-7.1.0 tarball shipped with the following inconsistency between
declared and actual version:

  * CMakeLists.txt sets  VERSION_STRING "2.0.0"
  * The codebase is in fact rocWMMA 2.1.0 (the version intended for ROCm 7.1.x)
  * CHANGELOG.md still labels the codebase as "rocWMMA 2.0.0 for ROCm 7.0.0"

This is repaired in the rocm-7.1.1 tag by a single upstream commit ("Update
Changelog for 7.1", PR ROCm/rocWMMA#603, approved by the Release PM for 7.1.1):

  1. CMakeLists.txt VERSION_STRING is bumped from 2.0.0 to 2.1.0. This value
     is consumed by:
       - configure_file() into library/include/rocwmma/rocwmma-version.hpp,
         which exposes ROCWMMA_VERSION_MAJOR/MINOR/PATCH and the inline
         function rocwmma_get_version() to downstream applications.
       - rocm_setup_version() / ROCMSetupVersion, which generates the CMake
         package config-version file consumed by downstream
         find_package(rocwmma 2.1.0).
  2. CHANGELOG.md gains a "rocWMMA 2.1.0 for ROCm 7.1.0" entry documenting
     the bug fixes already present in the 7.1.0 codebase:
       - HIP_vector_type compatibility (.data member removed; broadcast
         constructor now writes only to the first vector element).
       - int32_t handling in hipRTC_gemm on gfx942 corrected for breaking
         changes in HIP.
       - #pragma unroll over template-parameter indices replaced by a
         "static for", required by the upgraded LLVM-21-based compiler that
         no longer accepts that pragma form.
       - Test predicates corrected for BLK and VW cooperative kernels.
       - compute_utils.sh updated so rocWMMA is built with gfx1151 for
         ROCm 7.0+.

Without this update, resolute ships rocwmma reporting version 2.0.0 from a
2.1.0 codebase. This mis-identifies the library to any downstream consumer
that performs a version check (find_package(rocwmma 2.1.0 …) fails; runtime
rocwmma_get_version() returns "2.0.0"), and leaves the resolute ROCm 7.1
stack out of sync with the rest of the ROCm 7.1.1 components already SRU'd.

[Test Plan]

  1. Build verification of the 7.1.1-0ubuntu1 source in a resolute-targeted
     PPA on amd64 and arm64.

  2. Installability:
       - Install librocwmma-dev, librocwmma-tests, librocwmma-tests-validate
         and librocwmma-docs from the PPA on a clean resolute chroot.
       - Confirm that reverse build-dependencies of librocwmma-dev in the
         resolute archive remain installable.

  3. Run the rocwmma autopkgtest (validate suite) on a supported AMD GPU
     host and confirm no new failures relative to the 7.1.0-0ubuntu1
     baseline.

[Where problems could occur]

rocWMMA is a header-only C++ template library; librocwmma-dev is
Architecture: all and ships no shared object. Consumers re-instantiate
templates at compile time, so this update CANNOT ABI-break (technically but can 
silently) any installed
binary on a user system — it can only affect packages that re-build
against the new headers.

  1. Version-gated find_package: a downstream package pinning
     find_package(rocwmma 2.0.0 EXACT) would now fail to configure. This
     is the intended correction — the codebase has always been 2.1.0 for
     ROCm 7.1, and downstream packages in the 7.1.x stack already expect
     2.1.0. No such consumer exists in the resolute archive today.

  2. Header-content diff between the 7.1.0 and 7.1.1 tarballs is empty for
     every public include under library/include/rocwmma/ except the
     auto-generated rocwmma-version.hpp. Algorithmic and template
     behaviour is unchanged, so existing rocwmma consumers in resolute
     cannot regress in semantics when rebuilt.

  3. Build-time risk for the rocwmma package itself is bounded: the only
     changes between the imported 7.1.0 and 7.1.1 tarballs are CHANGELOG.md
     and the one-line VERSION_STRING bump in CMakeLists.txt. The three
     existing debian/patches/ patches
     (0001-remove-unknown-compiler-options,
      0002-do-not-treat-doxygen-warnings-as-errors,
      0003-fix-arm64-mcmodel-large-failure) apply unchanged.

  4. The librocwmma-tests / librocwmma-tests-validate binaries built from
     7.1.1 are functionally equivalent to those built from 7.1.0 (no
     source change under test/), so no autopkgtest regression is expected.

[Other Info]

  * No ABI/API breakage. rocWMMA is a header-only library; the only
    public-header content change is the auto-generated version macros.
  * Source diff between upstream tarballs:
