System Information
Operating system: macOS-12.1-arm64-arm-64bit 64 Bits
Graphics card: Apple M1 Apple 4.1 Metal - 76.3

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.1.0 Alpha, branch: master (modified), commit date: 2022-01-05 14:58, hash: 8393ccd076

Short description of error
Blender crashes on Apple M1 when using Cycles with GPU Compute

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Have the default scene open
In the Blender Preferences > System setting in the Metal tab of the Cycles Render Devices section enable Apple M1 (GPU)
Set the render engine to Cycles and device to GPU compute
Either hit F12 to render or switch to rendered view

Blender will immediately crash but earlier show a failed Metal kernel compilation.

The error that only affects Metal was introduced in 8393ccd076. When the number of function parameters of filter_guiding_preprocess was increased from 16 to 18 the macro magic in intern/cycles/kernel/device/metal/compat.h was missing the defines for 17 and 18 parameters.
Additionally Metal needs ccl_global qualifiers for the code that was added.

A proposed fix is in D13761.

Yes, me too, very upsetting... CPU seems to work well.
