What happened

The official source reports this update: gfx950-tutorial-v2.1. Rebases the tutorial pin onto current upstream triton main ( c349ce5 ), 340 commits ahead of the v1.1/v2.0 fork point. Two commits are carried; the warp-pipeline barrier commit from v2.0 is deliberately dropped (see below). [AMD] gfx950 tutorial: in-tree support for the out-of-tree LLIR-scheduler and amdgcnas plugins — TRITON_FORCE_MFMA_AGPR (sets amdgpu-mfma-vgpr-form=false) and LLVM_PASS_PLUGIN_KEEP_TARGET_MACHINE (keeps the TargetMachine so the plugin gets target-aware cost models).
