flex: test FA4 prefill + Inductor autotune replay (both regress)

Wired up two suggestions from the FlashAttention-4 blog + attention-gym:

1. `--fa4_prefill` flag: `BLOCK_SIZE=(256, 128)` + `BACKEND="FLASH"` on the
   prefill create_block_mask, pad to 256-row Q tile. Confirmed FA4 kernel
   fires on Blackwell (torch 2.11 + flash-attn CuTeDSL). Output is coherent
   but 4617 tok/s vs 5744 baseline at batch 64 + LoRA.

   Root cause: our prefill mask is document_causal, which evaluates
   `docs[q_idx] == docs[kv_idx]`. The FA4 CuTe kernel's known limitation
   (documented in attention-gym/examples/flex_flash_attention.py) is that
   "Indexing by kv_idx is a large perf hit". The doc mask hits that
   slow path directly. To benefit from FA4 on prefill we would need to
   refactor the mask so the per-kv lookup goes away, which is non-trivial
   given the document-boundary + causal combo.

2. flex_autotune_replay.py: new script that drives the pattern from
   attention-gym/examples/flex_autotune_replay.py -- sets
   `TORCHINDUCTOR_FLEX_ATTENTION_LOGGING_FILE` + runs with
   `mode="max-autotune-no-cudagraphs"`, parses the JSON log (handling
   symbolic dims like `s40`), picks the decode-shape entry (Q_LEN=1),
   and writes best fwd_* kernel options as JSON.

   Inductor's best for the decode shape: `fwd_num_warps=4, fwd_num_stages=3,
   fwd_BLOCK_M=64, fwd_BLOCK_N=64, fwd_USE_TMA=False`. Applied end-to-end:
   4827 tok/s vs 5744 manual baseline. The per-call time-minimum Inductor
   uses doesn't track the cumulative register-spill / L1 effects across
   the 36-layer stack.

Kept `--fa4_prefill` and flex_autotune_replay.py in-tree -- they are
useful scaffolding for anyone who wants to push further (refactor the mask,
run the 144-config exhaustive fwd sweep from attention-gym/examples/flex_grid_sweep.py,
etc.). Default config is unchanged.

Also documented the run-to-run variance: over 10 rounds at batch 64 + LoRA,
median 4192 and best 5660 tok/s; the spread is GPU clock throttling +
variable prompt-length distributions. The 5744 "baseline" we report is
best-of-N, matching the prior harness, but steady-state median is closer
to 75 % of that.

+"""Autotune replay for flex_attention decode.
+
+Pattern from attention-gym/examples/flex_autotune_replay.py:
+
+1. Run once with `mode="max-autotune-no-cudagraphs"` and
+   `TORCHINDUCTOR_FLEX_ATTENTION_LOGGING_FILE` set. Inductor writes a JSON
+   log of every kernel config it tried, sorted by wall time per shape.
+2. Parse the log for the decode-shape entry (Q_LEN small, large KV).
+3. Emit the best fwd_* options as a JSON string that the main flex script
+   can accept via --decode_kernel_options.
+
+Usage:
+    CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=7 python scripts/benchmarks/flex_autotune_replay.py \
+        --log_file logs/flex_autotune.json \
+        --max_batch_size 64 \
+        --n_prompts 16 \
+        --max_new_tokens 64

-  FA4 on sm_100 requires minimum 256-row blocks; our page_size is 128.
-  Raising page_size to 256 works but the paged-attention mask routing
-  gets more complex; out of scope for this writeup.
+- **`BACKEND="FLASH"` on prefill** (FA4 / FlashAttention-4 on Blackwell,
+  torch 2.11 + flash-attn CuTeDSL): empirically 4617 tok/s at batch 64 +
+  LoRA vs 5744 baseline on torch 2.11. The FA4 CuTe kernel is slow when
+  `mask_mod` indexes by `kv_idx` (documented in the attention-gym
+  `flex_flash_attention.py` limitations: "Indexing by kv_idx is a large
+  perf hit"). Our prefill mask is `document_causal`:
+      `docs[q_idx] == docs[kv_idx]`
+  which hits that exact slow path. `BLOCK_SIZE=(256, 128)` + padding to
+  the 256-row Q tile works (output is coherent), it's just slower than
+  the default Triton flex path for this mask.
+- **Inductor autotune replay** (`TORCHINDUCTOR_FLEX_ATTENTION_LOGGING_FILE`
+  + `mode="max-autotune-no-cudagraphs"` + parse the JSON log): Inductor's
+  chosen best decode config (`fwd_num_warps=4, fwd_num_stages=3,
+  fwd_BLOCK_M=64, fwd_BLOCK_N=64`) lands at 4827 tok/s -- worse than the
+  hand-tuned `num_warps=8` at 5744. Autotune times a single kernel call,
+  which doesn't catch cumulative register-spill / L1 effects across the
+  36-layer stack. Harness lives at `flex_autotune_replay.py`.
 - **torch.compile on `call_model_with_flex_kwargs`**: 4425 tok/s (same
   as eager walker) because the CUDA graph already captures every op in
   the walker into one replay. The compile step is work we don't need.
 - **`num_warps=4` / `num_warps=16`**: 4486 / 4748 -- neither beats 8.
   Inductor's default picks 4 on small blocks and we're already past
   that sweet spot, but 16 wastes registers.
+- **Explicit `fwd_BLOCK_M=128, fwd_BLOCK_N=128` pinning** on top of the
+  manual best: 5009 tok/s. The implicit default already picks 128 for
+  our shape; pinning it inhibits Inductor's shape-specialised choice
+  between the flex_attention and flex_decoding templates.

+## Torch version + run-to-run noise
+
+Upgrading torch 2.9.1 -> 2.11 (required for FA4's CuTeDSL path) moves
+best-of-N tok/s from ~5616 to ~5660 at batch 64 + LoRA -- essentially
+within noise. Over 10 rounds, median is 4192 and best is 5660; the large
+spread is GPU clock throttling across a ~60-second sustained run plus
+variable prompt-length distributions per round. Reported numbers use
+best-of-N to match the prior harness; steady-state median is roughly 75
+ % of best.
