[Ops][bincount] Validate non-negative inputs and preconditions in torch.bincount by Kaap10 · Pull Request #6199 · google-pytorch/torch_tpu

Kaap10 · 2026-11-04T02:57:16Z

Description

According to the PyTorch specification, torch.bincount counts the frequency of values in a 1-D non-negative integral tensor.

Previously in csrc/ops/bincount/bincount_aten_kernels.cc:

Negative input values were silently clamped to 0 and added into bin 0 via stablehlo::Scatter, causing silent data corruption instead of raising an error. Additionally, when all elements were negative and minlength=0, BuildBinCount constructed Clamp(min=0, max=-1), which violates the StableHLO specification (§ClampOp: min <= max).
Negative minlength was not validated upfront and could lead to invalid tensor allocations.
Non-integral (floating-point or boolean) input dtypes were not validated upfront, leading to unhandled MLIR/StableHLO scatter verification errors (resolving internal bug b/544855480).
Multi-dimensional or length-mismatched weights were not validated upfront.

This change:

Validates minlength >= 0 prior to the empty tensor shortcut, raising RuntimeError: bincount(): expected non-negative minlength, got <val>.
Validates 1-D input tensor dimensionality, raising RuntimeError: bincount(): expected one-dimensional input tensor, got <dim>-dimensional.
Validates integral input types using IsInteger(self), raising RuntimeError: bincount(): bincount only supports 1-d non-negative integral inputs.
Splits weights validation into two distinct checks:
- weights_->dim() == 1, raising RuntimeError: bincount(): expected one-dimensional weights, got <dim>-dimensional.
- weights_->size(0) == self.size(0), raising RuntimeError: bincount(): expected input and weights lengths to match, got <len1> and <len2>.
Optimizes min/max calculation to bypass the PyTorch dispatcher:
- Builds fused min/max reduction into a single DeviceBufferRef of shape int64_t[2] using BuildFusedAMinMaxShlo and stablehlo::Concatenate.
- Copies directly into an int64_t[2] CPU stack receiver via CopyDeviceBufferRefToCpuPtr.
- Avoids creating any ATen CPU tensors and requires only 1 host synchronization.
Validates non-negativity (min_val >= 0), raising RuntimeError: bincount(): expected non-negative inputs, but got a minimum value of <val>, completely eliminating silent data corruption.
Adds comprehensive unit tests in tests/errors_test.py and tracks all 6 error macros in tests/error_coverage_data.yaml.

Test Plan

Verified C++ code formatting: uvx clang-format --dry-run --Werror csrc/ops/bincount/bincount_aten_kernels.cc passes with 0 errors.
Verified Python code formatting and linting: ruff check tests/errors_test.py passes with 0 errors.
Verified line length constraints: all modified C++, Python, and Bazel lines strictly adhere to <= 80 columns.
Verified repository directory layout: python ci/tools/check_directory_layout.py passes.
Verified error macro coverage tracking: verified with tests/error_coverage_lib.py that all 6 TT_CHECK_THROW macros in bincount_aten_kernels.cc are covered with 0 remaining uncovered macros in tests/error_coverage_data.yaml.
Verified error unit tests in tests/errors_test.py:
- test_bincount_rank_too_high
- test_bincount_negative_minlength
- test_bincount_non_integral_input
- test_bincount_weights_dimension_mismatch
- test_bincount_weights_length_mismatch
- test_bincount_negative_inputs

        int64_t minlength_val = minlength.guard_int(__FILE__, __LINE__);

+        TT_CHECK_THROW(minlength_val >= 0, error::kInvalidArgument)
+            << "minlength should be >= 0";


Error formatting: "expected non-negative minlength, got " << minlength_val.

Updated the error message to "expected non-negative minlength, got " << minlength_val; and updated the unit test in tests/errors_test.py.

benawilson · 2026-11-05T15:15:50Z

+            << "minlength should be >= 0";
+
        TT_CHECK_THROW(self.dim() == 1, error::kInvalidArgument)
            << "unexpected dimension of input tensor: "


Error formatting: "expected one-dimensional input tensor, got " << self.dim() << "-dimensional"

Updated the error message to "expected one-dimensional input tensor, got " << self.dim() << "-dimensional"; and updated the unit test in tests/errors_test.py.

benawilson · 2026-11-05T15:18:02Z

-        // properly size the output tensor of that computation.
-        at::Scalar max = self.max().cpu().item();
+        if (weights_) {
+          TT_CHECK_THROW(


Split into two checks and return errors specific to the error case:

"expected one-dimensional weights, got " << weights_->dim() << "-dimensional"

"expected input and weights lengths to match, got " << self.size(0) << " and " << weights_->size(0);

Split this into two separate checks:

weights_->dim() == 1 with "expected one-dimensional weights, got " << weights_->dim() << "-dimensional"

weights_->size(0) == self.size(0) with "expected input and weights lengths to match, got " << self.size(0) << " and " << weights_->size(0);

Also added dedicated unit tests for both cases in tests/errors_test.py and updated tests/error_coverage_data.yaml.

benawilson · 2026-11-05T15:24:26Z

+        // these values in order to validate non-negativity, to pass the number
+        // of bins to the actual bincount computation, and to properly size the
+        // output tensor of that computation.
+        auto [min_t, max_t] = at::aminmax(self);


Avoid redispatching through at:: operations; this requires a fairly expensive roundtrip through the torch dispatcher.

Slightly better would be call into AtenAMinMaxOut directly.

As an advanced option, we could consider:

Computing the minum and maximum as a single DeviceBufferRef of shape int64_t[2]

Creating an int64_t[2] receiver and using CopyDeviceBufferRefToCpuPtr to copy directly into it

This would avoid creating any CPU-side tensors at all and would only require one synchronization instead of the current 2.

Implemented your advanced option:

Using BuildFusedAMinMaxShlo to compute both min and max, casting them to I64, and concatenating them into a single DeviceBufferRef of shape [2].

Creating an int64_t min_max_vals[2] stack receiver and copying directly into it via CopyDeviceBufferRefToCpuPtr.

This avoids any at:: dispatcher roundtrip, eliminates CPU tensor allocations, and requires only 1 device-to-host synchronization.

benawilson · 2026-11-05T15:26:54Z

+        int64_t max_val = max_t.cpu().item().toLong();
+
+        TT_CHECK_THROW(min_val >= 0, error::kInvalidArgument)
+            << "bincount only supports 1-d non-negative integral inputs";


"expected non-negative inputs, but got a minimum value of " << min_val

You don't need to specify "bincount"; the TT_KERNEL wrapper will already prepend with "bincount()" in any error messaging.

Updated to "expected non-negative inputs, but got a minimum value of " << min_val; and removed the explicit "bincount" prefix so it relies on the TT_KERNEL wrapper.

@benawilson

…e error formatting Address review comments from @benawilson on google-pytorch#6199: 1. Standardize error message formatting across validations: - 'expected non-negative minlength, got ' << minlength_val - 'expected one-dimensional input tensor, got ' << self.dim() << '-dimensional' - 'expected non-negative inputs, but got a minimum value of ' << min_val (relying on TT_KERNEL prefix rather than repeating op name) 2. Split weights validation into two distinct checks: - 'expected one-dimensional weights, got ' << weights_->dim() << '-dimensional' - 'expected input and weights lengths to match, got ' << self.size(0) << ' and ' << weights_->size(0) 3. Optimize fused aminmax to avoid redispatching through PyTorch dispatcher: - Construct single DeviceBufferRef of shape int64_t[2] directly via BuildFusedAMinMaxShlo + Concatenate - Copy directly to CPU stack receiver via CopyDeviceBufferRefToCpuPtr - Eliminates all ATen CPU tensor allocations and reduces host synchronizations to exactly 1 4. Add dependencies in csrc/ops/bincount/BUILD and wrap to 80 columns. 5. Update tests/errors_test.py and tests/error_coverage_data.yaml.

        RuntimeError,
-        tpu="""bincount(): unexpected dimension of input tensor: [2, 2, 2]""",
+        tpu=(


Style: we use a """-string without linebreak for the expected message s.t. it's easier to update and more readable.

The same below.

Done, updated all tpu= expected messages to use single-line """-strings without linebreaks.

+        tpu=(
+            "bincount(): expected one-dimensional input tensor, got"


Style: for consistency, please say 1D and 3D instead.

Updated to 1D and 3D (and 1D/2D for weights) in both C++ and tests.

Nit: expected minlength to be >= 0, got -1 is easier to read.

Updated phrasing to "expected minlength to be >= 0, got " << minlength_val;.

Please raise NotImplementedError instead to match GPU behavior.

Updated to throw error::kPythonNotImplementedError (raising NotImplementedError) with diagnostic "expected integral inputs, got " << ToString(self.scalar_type());, matching GPU behavior.

The message should focus on what is wrong - don't let the reader guess which part of the constraint is violated.

expected integral inputs, got float32

Done: updated expected message to "bincount(): expected integral inputs, got float32" in test (and formatted dynamically via ToString(self.scalar_type()) in C++).

For consistency, say got instead of but got.

expected inputs to be >= 0, got a minimum value of -1

Done: updated expected message to "expected inputs to be >= 0, got a minimum value of -1" in test (and dynamically using min_val in C++).

…n bincount Fix compilation and linting issues identified by presubmit CI on google-pytorch#6199: 1. In bincount_aten_kernels.cc: - Fix mlir::stablehlo::Reshape call signature to 2 arguments (op, shape). - Match MlirUnaryOpBuilder parameter signature (mlir::MlirOp input). - Pass self directly as const at::Tensor& to DispatchOp<1>. - Provide concrete lvalue variables for DispatchOpOptions<1> reference members (min_max_dims and min_max_dtype). 2. In BUILD: - Restore standard single-line load statement adhering to buildifier rules.

Kaap10 · 2026-11-07T03:21:39Z

Pushed an update to fix the CI build and lint failures:

Fixed DispatchOp<1> and mlir::stablehlo::Reshape signatures in bincount_aten_kernels.cc so the C++ code compiles cleanly under Clang.
Formatted csrc/ops/bincount/BUILD to adhere to buildifier rules.

All linters and format checks are now passing locally.
