fix: server /inference fails to decode in-memory audio (regression)

whisper-server /inference returns HTTP 400 on any valid WAV (including samples/jfk.wav) for builds without WHISPER_FFMPEG and without --convert: "error: failed to read audio data from (RIFF...)".

Cause: the handler passes the uploaded bytes audio_file.content to read_audio_data, which since the miniaudio migration only handles a filename via ma_decoder_init_file. It tries to open a path starting with RIFF and fails.

Regression introduced by 7d3da68 (#2759, "examples : use miniaudio for direct decoding"), which dropped the is_wav_buffer + drwav_init_memory in-memory path that read_wav previously used. #3707 later added the 400 status that surfaced it as Invalid request.

Fix: factor the PCM extraction into a shared helper and add a read_audio_data(const char* buffer, size_t size, ...) overload that decodes from memory via ma_decoder_init_memory (already used by the function for the stdin path). server.cpp calls it with the upload content. The filename overload is unchanged.

Verified: samples/jfk.wav now returns 200 on the /inference endpoint instead of 400, and transcription quality checked against my production setup.

AI Usage: Opus 4.7 + MCP computer use (rootless container with GPU)

whisper-server /inference without --convert passed the uploaded file
bytes to read_audio_data as a filename, so ma_decoder_init_file tried
to open a path starting with "RIFF" and failed. every request returned
HTTP 400 "Invalid request" on builds without WHISPER_FFMPEG, which is
the default.

factor the PCM extraction into a shared helper and add an overload that
decodes straight from a memory buffer via ma_decoder_init_memory, which
the function already used for the stdin path. server now calls it with
the upload content. the filename overload behavior is unchanged.

I use it daily on a Telegram bot to transcribe all audio messages, and as a source for GGML voice cloning pipeline and llama.cpp input.

* Add BF16 support to GET_ROWS operation (llama/21391)

Add GGML_TYPE_BF16 to the SYCL backend's GET_ROWS operation, both in
supports_op and in the kernel dispatch. This fixes a performance
regression where models using BF16 embedding tensors (e.g., Gemma4's
per_layer_token_embd.weight) fall back to CPU for the GET_ROWS op,
causing a full GPU-to-CPU tensor transfer every token.

The fix reuses the existing get_rows_sycl_float template with
sycl::ext::oneapi::bfloat16, matching the pattern already used for
sycl::half (F16) and float (F32).

* ggml-cuda: add internal AllReduce provider for tensor parallelism

Introduces a NCCL-free AllReduce implementation for LLAMA_SPLIT_MODE_TENSOR
using a single-phase CUDA kernel that pipelines D2H copy, cross-GPU
handshake via pinned-memory volatile flags, and the reduction in one
kernel launch per GPU.

New files:
- ggml/src/ggml-cuda/comm.cuh        — ggml_cuda_allreduce_provider enum
- ggml/src/ggml-cuda/allreduce.cuh   — pipeline API declarations
- ggml/src/ggml-cuda/allreduce.cu    — kernel + pipeline init/dispatch

ggml-cuda.cu changes:
- ggml_backend_cuda_comm_context gains ar_pipeline field
- Provider selection via GGML_CUDA_ALLREDUCE env var ("nccl" / "internal")
- INTERNAL provider initialises the pipeline at comm_init time
- Dispatch routes to ggml_cuda_ar_allreduce(); falls back to meta-backend
  CPU reduce for unsupported sizes or GPU counts (> 2)

Current scope: 2 GPUs, FP32, tensors <= 256 KB. Notes in NOTES-allreduce.md.

* llama-bench: add --allreduce flag to select AllReduce provider

Adds --allreduce <auto|nccl|internal> to llama-bench (and via the shared
field pattern, consistent with other multi-value flags).  Useful for
isolating hangs or regressions in tensor-parallel mode: pass --allreduce nccl
to force NCCL and bypass the internal provider.

Also fixes ggml_cuda_select_allreduce_provider() to treat an empty
GGML_CUDA_ALLREDUCE env var the same as unset (avoids spurious warning when
llama-bench sets it to "" for the "auto" case).

* ggml-cuda: add AllReduce hang watchdog (GGML_CUDA_AR_WATCHDOG)

When compiled with -DGGML_CUDA_AR_WATCHDOG=ON, uses a debug kernel
variant that writes per-GPU spin diagnostics to pinned host memory.
A host-side blocking poll (cudaEventQuery + volatile reads) detects
hangs and logs WARN with the last observed arrival counters and spin
counts, controlled by GGML_CUDA_AR_WATCHDOG (ms timeout) and
GGML_CUDA_AR_MAX_SPIN (kernel bailout) env vars at runtime.

Zero overhead on the production path — all debug code is behind #ifdef.

* ggml-cuda: fix intermittent AllReduce hang on Blackwell PCIe

Add __threadfence_system() before the arrival signal write in
signal_set to ensure D2H data is globally visible before the peer
observes the arrival flag.  Without this fence, the peer could enter
Phase 3 host reads before the data had fully landed, causing an
intermittent deadlock on RTX 5090 (Blackwell, PCIe-only).

Also redesign the watchdog from a blocking dispatch-thread poll to a
non-blocking background thread, eliminating the ~20ms per-slot
latency the old design added.

Verified: 30/30 soak test runs clean at ~50 t/s (previously ~1-in-15
hang rate).

- Stop watchdog thread BEFORE destroying GPU resources (events, streams)

  before freeing pinned host buffers they may still be reading
- Sleep-first watchdog polling: no +0ms noise, only logs when a kernel
  is genuinely stuck past the poll interval
- Check wdog_stop in both outer and inner loops so join() returns
  promptly instead of draining the entire queue
- Add Phase 3 breadcrumbs to debug[3] for hang localization

* ggml-cuda: replace event-based watchdog with per-GPU ring buffer

Completely rework the GGML_CUDA_AR_WATCHDOG system:

- Replace the shared debug_buf + event-polling + queue design with
  per-GPU ring buffers in pinned host memory
- Kernel writes a debug record only on spin-limit bailout: claims a
  ring slot via atomicAdd (single-GPU host atomics work on RTX 5090),
  writes fields, fences, sets completion flag, then all threads exit
- Watchdog thread simply polls ring head counters every 1ms and prints
  any new complete records — no CUDA event queries, no mutex, no queue
- Zero overhead on the dispatch path (no queue posting, no memset)
- Watchdog shutdown returns within ~1ms (atomic bool, no drain)
- On bailout the kernel skips Phase 3 entirely and exits cleanly

Verified: 20/20 prefill soak test clean at ~1112 t/s, no hangs.

* ggml-cuda: move GGML_CUDA_AR_WATCHDOG from CMake option to local define

The watchdog is development-only; a global CMake option is overkill.
Move the toggle to a #define at the top of allreduce.cu (set to 0 by
default) and remove the option from ggml/CMakeLists.txt and the CUDA
CMakeLists.txt add_compile_definitions block.

- Zero overhead on the dispatch path (no queue posting, no memset)
- Watchdog shutdown returns within ~1ms (atomic bool, no drain)

A config that lives entirely on NCCL never needs the chunked-kernel
pipeline (host_buf, host_large, dev_tmp, streams, events, arrival ring).
Defer pipeline creation to the first try_allreduce_internal call using the
same std::call_once pattern as ensure_nccl, so those resources stay
unallocated when only NCCL is in use.

* allreduce: assert n_backends == 2 instead of soft-fallback

ar_pipeline_init already requires n_devices == 2 and bails before any AR can
get here, so by the time we reach try_allreduce_internal we know we have
exactly two backends.  Replace the runtime-debug-log fallback with a hard
assert.

* allreduce: ASCII-only comments and ggml_cuda_cast for value conversions

Replace non-ASCII characters in comments (em dashes, right arrows) with
ASCII equivalents (--, ->) so the source stays in the ggml/upstream norm.

In the kernel-side code, replace static_cast<Twire>/static_cast<Tdst>
with ggml_cuda_cast<...> so the BF16 conversions go through the fast
__float2bfloat16 / __bfloat162float intrinsics from convert.cuh.  Pure
pointer and integer casts stay as static_cast.

Also drops two stray garbage tokens that snuck in from earlier merges
(a duplicated 'return ok; }' tail in allreduce.cu and a leftover '_reg)'
fragment in ggml-cuda.cu).

* allreduce: use ggml_cuda_memcpy_1 for the chunked-kernel vector copies

The chunked kernel's two 16-byte register<->host transfers (Phase 1 store
and Phase 3 load) used reinterpret_cast<float4 *> on both sides.  Replace
with ggml_cuda_memcpy_1<sizeof(wire)>, which is the canonical helper for
this pattern and emits the same int4 LD/ST under the hood.

Conformance passes; 5x reruns of 70b internal pp512 show 1832-1836 t/s,
matching the prior matrix value of 1831 t/s -- no perf change as expected.

Both ggml_cuda_ar_pipeline and ggml_backend_cuda_context carry the device

* ggml-cuda: PR review fixes -- annotate #endif, fix stale comment, assert nbytes alignment

Three separate but minor changes from PR #22299 review feedback:

1. Annotate the five GGML_USE_NCCL #endif lines with the matching condition
   so the pairing is visible without scrolling back.

2. The comment block on ggml_backend_cuda_comm_context claimed NCCL is
   lazy-initialised; that was true at one point but the dispatch refactor
   (727b141c0) made both NCCL and the internal pipeline eager.  Rewrite
   the comment to match current behaviour.

3. Assert in ggml_backend_cuda_comm_allreduce_internal that the tensor's
   byte size is a 16-byte multiple.  The chunked-kernel issues full-width
   vector loads/stores, so this is a precondition; tensor-parallel splits
   of hidden-dim-multiples satisfy it trivially, but a hard assert turns
   any caller-side bug into a clear failure rather than UB.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
 device's new AR
records its ev.ker -- otherwise the second device's wait sees the first
device's just-recorded event (the in-flight new AR) and creates a circular
dependency with the in-kernel peer signal.  Two-pass dispatch (all waits,
then all launches) avoids this.

Bump POOL_SIZE 2 -> 8 (small memory cost, more breathing room for the
GPU's view of the event chain) and add a runtime env override for the
hybrid kernel chunk size (GGML_CUDA_AR_HYBRID_CHUNK_BYTES) for tuning.
One-shot stderr diagnostic at first AR prints the chosen path + sizing.

Result on 2x RTX 5090 Linux, 70b ub_sweep:

    ub=64   (1 MB AR): 913 -> 1036 t/s  (+13.5% vs old, +1.8% vs NCCL)
    ub=128  (2 MB AR): 1056 -> 1181     (+11.9%, +3.7% vs NCCL)
    ub=256  (4 MB AR): 1212 -> 1424     (+17.5%, +3.5% vs NCCL)

Internal now beats NCCL at every size (+1.8% to +15.6%), recovering all
ground in the 1-4 MB regime that was previously a 10-12% loss.

* ggml-cuda: stub internal AllReduce on HIP/MUSA, drop pre-Ampere mention, gate NCCL fallback warning on !HIP

The internal AllReduce relies on cudaHostAllocPortable/Mapped,
cudaHostGetDevicePointer, and __nanosleep -- none of which the HIP or
MUSA shims expose -- so wrap the implementation in
!defined(GGML_USE_HIP) && !defined(GGML_USE_MUSA) and provide
nullptr/no-op/false stubs in the #else branch.  The dispatcher already
treats a null pipeline as init failure and silently falls back to the
meta backend's generic AllReduce, so HIP/MUSA builds compile clean and
behave correctly without further call-site changes.

PR review follow-ups:
 - drop "or pre-Ampere?" from the internal-init failure warning -- the
   kernel doesn't require Ampere or newer.
 - guard the "NCCL not compiled in" fallback warning behind
   !defined(GGML_USE_HIP); the suggestion to install NCCL only makes
   sense on NVIDIA builds.

* allreduce: guard __nanosleep on Volta+ and reject pre-Volta devices at init

__nanosleep is the only Volta-specific intrinsic in the kernel; wrap it
in #if __CUDA_ARCH__ >= GGML_CUDA_CC_VOLTA / NO_DEVICE_CODE so the file
still compiles cleanly when targeting older arches (the dispatcher's
init check below ensures the kernel is never actually launched on
pre-Volta).

Add a per-device compute-capability check in pipeline_init that returns
nullptr if any device is below sm70.  The dispatcher already treats
nullptr as init failure and silently falls back to the meta backend's
generic AllReduce.

* allreduce: fix CI -Werror warnings (sign-compare, format, restrict alias, maybe-uninitialized)

The CUDA CI builds with -Werror -Wsign-compare -Wformat -Wrestrict
-Wmaybe-uninitialized.  Address each:

 - n_devices is size_t; change `int i; i < n_devices` to size_t in the
   three init loops, and the matching GGML_LOG_INFO format from %d to %zu.
 - ggml_cuda_ar_kernel was launched with sendbuf == recvbuf (in-place
   reduction), so the __restrict__ qualifiers on those parameters were
   technically UB.  Drop __restrict__ from sendbuf and recvbuf; an A/B
   sweep showed <0.6% perf delta (within noise) on Linux.
 - The buf/src/dst pointer arrays in ggml_cuda_ar_allreduce and the
   per-iteration arrays in ggml_cuda_ar_allreduce_copy_outer were
   declared with size GGML_CUDA_MAX_DEVICES but the loop only writes
   indices [0, n_devices); zero-initialise so the compiler sees the
   tail elements as defined.

* devops : add spirv-headers to vulkan dockerfile

* ggml-cuda : add explicit casts to -INFINITY for float and half2 types

This commit adds explicit casts to float for -INFINITY.

The motivation for this is that in CUDA 11.8.0, the -INFINITY macro is
defined as a double (a header provided NVCC). This triggers a warning
and hence causes a CI failure in whisper.cpp. I belive that this header
might have been updated in CUDA 12 which is why we don't see this
warning.

* metal : tighten input-position loop in kernel_conv_transpose_1d (ggml/1477)

For a given output position j on the time axis, only input positions
i such that i*s0 <= j < i*s0 + K contribute -- i.e.
i in [ceil((j - K + 1)/s0), floor(j/s0)] intersected with [0, IL-1].
That's at most ceil(K/s0) values (typically 2 for stride==K/2
transposed convs).

The current kernel iterates the full IL range and filters with an
`if`, amplifying per-thread work by IL/ceil(K/s0) (~160x for IL=320,
K=10, s0=5 -- a representative codec-decoder shape). On Apple M1
the wasted work trips the macOS GPU watchdog
(kIOGPUCommandBufferCallbackErrorImpactingInteractivity) on long
graphs.

Compute i_min, i_max analytically before the inner loop and iterate
only [i_min, i_max]. Output is bit-identical (same multiplies and
adds in the same order); loop bound shrinks by IL/ceil(K/s0).

Tested on M1 with a downstream consumer running a TTS codec at full
T_codec; end-to-end codec decode ~3-4x faster, zero watchdog hits
across long synthesis runs vs ~30% pre-patch.

`im2col_cuda` and `im2col_3d_cuda` both dispatch with
`block_nums.y = OW`. CUDA caps grid Y at 65535. Conv1d encoders on
raw 16 kHz audio with T > 65535 (~ 4 s) trip the limit -- e.g. SEANet
at 11 s lands at OW = 176000 -- and the launch returns
`invalid configuration argument`.

Clamp `block_nums.y` to `MIN(OW, MAX_GRIDDIM_Y)` and loop inside the
kernel with stride `MAX_GRIDDIM_Y`. Same in-kernel stride pattern
already used for the z axis (`MAX_GRIDDIM_Z`). Both 2D `im2col_kernel`
and 3D `im2col_3d_kernel` need the same fix. Bit-identical for
OW <= 65535 (single iteration of the new outer loop).

Tested on T4 / Jetson Orin with a SEANet encoder running on 11 s /
16 kHz audio (im2col reaching OW ~ 176000); pre-fix launch returns
`invalid configuration argument`, post-fix runs to completion.
Existing test-backend-ops im2col cases unchanged.

This commit addresses a memory leak in the `read_audio_data` function
where it is currently possible that a call to `ma_decoder_init_file`
succeeds and the function returns early without calling
`ma_decoder_uninit`. A similar situation can occur with
`ma_decoder_init_memory`.

* whisper : set bench data for each iteration (#3812)

* whisper : set bench data for each iteration

This commit updates whisper_bench_ggml_mul_mat_str to intialize the
tensors data for each iteration.

The motivation for this is that is currently possible for a previous
run's results, F32 values, to leak into the next run. When it is time
for the F16 iteration then F32 results can cause NaN values to appear
in the tensor values causing the F16 iteration to fail.

* ci : set GGML_NATIVE=OFF if x86_64

This commit sets GGML_NATIVE=OFF for x86_64 architectures.

The motivation for this is to try to get CI to pass and the theory is
that the libggml-cpu.so library in the ccache might have been built by a
runner that supports a different instruction set. When another runner
that does not support that instruction set tries to use it, it will fail
with a segmentation fault.

I'm not sure about this yet but going to try this out and if it does not
work I'll ssh into the runner to debug further.

* ci : use github ubuntu-22.04-arm runner instead of qemu (#3815)

* ci : use github ubuntu-22.04-arm runner instead of qemu

This commit updates the ubuntu-22-gcc-arm64 job to use a arm github
runner instead of QEMU.

The motivation for this is that we get intermittent failure specifically
related to QEMU. For example:
```console
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
qemu: uncaught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - core dumped
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
dpkg: error processing package libc-bin (--configure):
installed libc-bin package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 139
Processing triggers for ca-certificates (20240203~22.04.1) ...
Updating certificates in /etc/ssl/certs...
0 added, 0 removed; done.
Running hooks in /etc/ca-certificates/update.d...
done.
Errors were encountered while processing:
libc-bin
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
```
This is an attempt to try to avoid QEMU and hence avoid this issue.

* ci : remove QEMU where possible

* common : fix server /inference fails to decode in-memory audio (regression) (#3818)

* common: add memory buffer overload of read_audio_data

whisper-server /inference without --convert passed the uploaded file
bytes to read_audio_data as a filename, so ma_decoder_init_file tried
to open a path starting with "RIFF" and failed. every request returned
HTTP 400 "Invalid request" on builds without WHISPER_FFMPEG, which is
the default.

factor the PCM extraction into a shared helper and add an overload that
decodes straight from a memory buffer via ma_decoder_init_memory, which
the function already used for the stdin path. server now calls it with
the upload content. the filename overload behavior is unchanged.

* cmake : add CMakePresets.json [no ci] (#3808)

This commit adds a CMakePresets.json file similar to the one in
llama.cpp.

The motivation for this is that this provides sharable named
configuration which can be used with cmake --preset <name>.

It also allows for extendins these preset with a
CMakeUserPresets.json for specific hardware (like CPUs),
architectures, and toolchains etc.

* SYCL: fix multi-GPU system RAM exhaustion by using Level Zero allocations (llama/21597)

* SYCL: fix multi-GPU system RAM exhaustion by using Level Zero allocations

Replace sycl::malloc_device with zeMemAllocDevice for GPU memory allocation
in the SYCL backend. sycl::malloc_device triggers the xe kernel driver's
DMA-buf/TTM path which mirrors every VRAM allocation 1:1 in system RAM.
zeMemAllocDevice uses the SVM/P2P path with no host staging.

On a dual Intel Arc Pro B70 system (64GB VRAM, 64GB RAM), a 15.6 GiB model
consumed 60 GiB of system RAM via sycl::malloc_device, causing OOM crashes.
With zeMemAllocDevice, the same workload uses ~6.7 GiB of system RAM with
no performance regression.

All Level Zero calls include automatic fallback to the original SYCL
allocation path if Level Zero interop is unavailable.

* SYCL: address review feedback - remove try/catch, check device types, deduplicate

- Remove try/catch from malloc/free/memcpy helpers, check backend and
  device type upfront instead (ggml_sycl_is_level_zero, ggml_sycl_is_dgpu)
- Move shared helpers (is_level_zero, is_dgpu, free_device) to common.cpp
  and declare in common.hpp to eliminate code duplication
- Use SYCL_CHECK(CHECK_TRY_ERROR()) for fallback sycl::free calls
- Guard dev2dev_memcpy L0 path to dGPU-to-dGPU only, preserving the
  host-staged path for iGPU-to-dGPU transfers
- Add Windows Level Zero SDK path detection (LEVEL_ZERO_V1_SDK_PATH)
  in CMakeLists.txt (co-authored with @arthw)

* SYCL: add build/runtime flags for Level Zero, address review feedback

Implements the architecture suggested by @arthw: compile-time and runtime
flags to cleanly separate Level Zero and SYCL memory API paths.

- Add GGML_SYCL_SUPPORT_LEVEL_ZERO cmake option (default ON). All Level
  Zero code is wrapped in #ifdef so the build works on systems without
  the Level Zero SDK installed (e.g. CPU-only CI servers). Both the
  loader library and headers are checked before enabling.

- Add GGML_SYCL_ENABLE_LEVEL_ZERO runtime env var (default 1). Controls
  whether Level Zero or SYCL memory APIs are used. Only one API style is
  used per session, no mixing. If Level Zero is enabled but the devices
  don't support the Level Zero backend, it auto-disables with a warning.

- Remove Level Zero code from dpct_malloc. It was unused (dpct::device_memory
  is not called anywhere in the backend) and used try/catch for flow control.

- Update SYCL.md with documentation for both new parameters.

Tested on Intel Arc Pro B70 (32GB), single-GPU and dual-GPU, with both
GGML_SYCL_SUPPORT_LEVEL_ZERO=ON and OFF builds. AI-assisted development
(Claude). Code reviewed and tested on my hardware.

* SYCL: unify Level Zero malloc/free call sites, address review feedback

Move ggml_sycl_malloc_device to common.cpp alongside ggml_sycl_free_device.
Both functions are now unconditionally available — Level Zero code is
#ifdef'd inside the functions, not at call sites. All call sites use
uniform SYCL_CHECK(CHECK_TRY_ERROR()) wrapping with no #ifdef blocks.

Addresses arthw's review: wrap all malloc/free in SYCL_CHECK for stack
traces on failure, eliminate duplicated #ifdef/else patterns at 6 call
sites (-29 lines net).

* SYCL: add Level Zero SDK to CI, fix device check and missed alloc paths

Add Level Zero SDK installation to Ubuntu and Windows SYCL CI jobs
so the Level Zero code path is compiled and tested in CI.

Fix two bugs found during extended dual-GPU testing (no
ONEAPI_DEVICE_SELECTOR set):

- The Level Zero backend check was iterating all SYCL devices
  including CPU. The OpenCL CPU device caused Level Zero to be
  disabled for the GPUs, defeating the fix on multi-GPU systems.
  Added is_gpu() filter so only GPU devices are checked.

- sycl_ext_malloc_device/sycl_ext_free (tensor reorder temp buffers)
  were still calling sycl::malloc/sycl::free directly, bypassing the
  Level Zero path. Routed through ggml_sycl_malloc_device/free_device
  for consistency with the other device memory call sites.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* SYCL: address arthw review feedback on Level Zero memory API structure

- Move ggml_sycl_malloc_device to static function in ggml-sycl.cpp;
  only ggml_sycl_free_device (used by common.cpp) stays in common.cpp
- Switch both helpers to use g_ggml_sycl_enable_level_zero global
  instead of per-call queue backend checks
- Remove #ifdef wrapper from global definition; always declare at 0,
  add #else branch in init block so it stays 0 when L0 not compiled in
- Update init loop comment to explain GPU-only device check
- CMakeLists: message(STATUS) before the if block; align option wording

AI-assisted implementation. Reviewed and tested on dual Intel Arc Pro
B70 (32 GB each): test-backend-ops OK on both GPUs, single/dual-GPU
Q4_K_M and Q8_0 bench correct, zeMemAllocDevice GTT delta confirmed
<5 MiB per 4 GiB allocation (vs ~4 GiB shadow with sycl::malloc_device).

* HIP: RDNA3 mma FA, faster AMD transpose, tune AMD (llama/22880)

Adds RDNA3 support to the CUDA mma FA kernel. To make the RDNA3 tensor cores work with the FP16 accumulation for VKQ the tiles they need to be 32 logical units long in direction of the attention head; for head sizes 80 and 112 that are not exactly divided by 32 the regular length of 16 with FP32 accumulation is used instead. The longer tiles also enable more efficient transposition for a warp size of 32 which is why it's also used for RDNA4. However, this scrambles the data layout of the accumulators along the attention head dimension. To prevent accidental misuse I added another entry to ggml_cuda_mma::data_layout.

I also tuned the kernel parameters for RDNA3, RDNA4, and CDNA1 in general, during which I discovered that the kernel can be made to work for head sizes up to 256 for CDNA. For RDNA3/4 I was not able to get better performance that the tile kernel for head sizes > 128.

current LunarG macOS Vulkan SDK structure (`lib/cmake/SPIRV-Headers`),
nor what gets installed when you run the cmake build+install for
SPIRV-Headers itself on at least Linux (`share/cmake/SPIRV-Headers`).

This allows for SPIRV-Headers to be found, as currently the CI
runner's setup does not seem to include the relevant path in
list of search locations.

* Add BF16 support to GET_ROWS operation (llama/21391)

Add GGML_TYPE_BF16 to the SYCL backend's GET_ROWS operation, both in
supports_op and in the kernel dispatch. This fixes a performance
regression where models using BF16 embedding tensors (e.g., Gemma4's
per_layer_token_embd.weight) fall back to CPU for the GET_ROWS op,
causing a full GPU-to-CPU tensor transfer every token.

The fix reuses the existing get_rows_sycl_float template with
sycl::ext::oneapi::bfloat16, matching the pattern already used for
sycl::half (F16) and float (F32).

* ggml-cuda: add internal AllReduce provider for tensor parallelism

Introduces a NCCL-free AllReduce implementation for LLAMA_SPLIT_MODE_TENSOR
using a single-phase CUDA kernel that pipelines D2H copy, cross-GPU
handshake via pinned-memory volatile flags, and the reduction in one
kernel launch per GPU.

New files:
- ggml/src/ggml-cuda/comm.cuh        — ggml_cuda_allreduce_provider enum
- ggml/src/ggml-cuda/allreduce.cuh   — pipeline API declarations
- ggml/src/ggml-cuda/allreduce.cu    — kernel + pipeline init/dispatch

ggml-cuda.cu changes:
- ggml_backend_cuda_comm_context gains ar_pipeline field
- Provider selection via GGML_CUDA_ALLREDUCE env var ("nccl" / "internal")
- INTERNAL provider initialises the pipeline at comm_init time
- Dispatch routes to ggml_cuda_ar_allreduce(); falls back to meta-backend
  CPU reduce for unsupported sizes or GPU counts (> 2)

Current scope: 2 GPUs, FP32, tensors <= 256 KB. Notes in NOTES-allreduce.md.

llama-bench sets it to "" for the "auto" case).

* ggml-cuda: add AllReduce hang watchdog (GGML_CUDA_AR_WATCHDOG)

When compiled with -DGGML_CUDA_AR_WATCHDOG=ON, uses a debug kernel
variant that writes per-GPU spin diagnostics to pinned host memory.
A host-side blocking poll (cudaEventQuery + volatile reads) detects
hangs and logs WARN with the last observed arrival counters and spin
counts, controlled by GGML_CUDA_AR_WATCHDOG (ms timeout) and
GGML_CUDA_AR_MAX_SPIN (kernel bailout) env vars at runtime.

Zero overhead on the production path — all debug code is behind #ifdef.

* ggml-cuda: fix intermittent AllReduce hang on Blackwell PCIe

Add __threadfence_system() before the arrival signal write in
signal_set to ensure D2H data is globally visible before the peer
observes the arrival flag.  Without this fence, the peer could enter
Phase 3 host reads before the data had fully landed, causing an
intermittent deadlock on RTX 5090 (Blackwell, PCIe-only).

Also redesign the watchdog from a blocking dispatch-thread poll to a
non-blocking background thread, eliminating the ~20ms per-slot
latency the old design added.

Verified: 30/30 soak test runs clean at ~50 t/s (previously ~1-in-15
hang rate).

  promptly instead of draining the entire queue

* ggml-cuda: replace event-based watchdog with per-GPU ring buffer

Completely rework the GGML_CUDA_AR_WATCHDOG system:

- Replace the shared debug_buf + event-polling + queue design with
  per-GPU ring buffers in pinned host memory
- Kernel writes a debug record only on spin-limit bailout: claims a
  ring slot via atomicAdd (single-GPU host atomics work on RTX 5090),
  writes fields, fences, sets completion flag, then all threads exit
- Watchdog thread simply polls ring head counters every 1ms and prints
  any new complete records — no CUDA event queries, no mutex, no queue
- Zero overhead on the dispatch path (no queue posting, no memset)
- Watchdog shutdown returns within ~1ms (atomic bool, no drain)
- On bailout the kernel skips Phase 3 entirely and exits cleanly

Verified: 20/20 prefill soak test clean at ~1112 t/s, no hangs.

A config that lives entirely on NCCL never needs the chunked-kernel
pipeline (host_buf, host_large, dev_tmp, streams, events, arrival ring).
Defer pipeline creation to the first try_allreduce_internal call using the
same std::call_once pattern as ensure_nccl, so those resources stay
unallocated when only NCCL is in use.

__float2bfloat16 / __bfloat162float intrinsics from convert.cuh.  Pure
pointer and integer casts stay as static_cast.

Also drops two stray garbage tokens that snuck in from earlier merges
(a duplicated 'return ok; }' tail in allreduce.cu and a leftover '_reg)'
fragment in ggml-cuda.cu).

this pattern and emits the same int4 LD/ST under the hood.

* ggml-cuda: PR review fixes -- annotate #endif, fix stale comment, assert nbytes alignment

Three separate but minor changes from PR #22299 review feedback:

1. Annotate the five GGML_USE_NCCL #endif lines with the matching condition
   so the pairing is visible without scrolling back.

2. The comment block on ggml_backend_cuda_comm_context claimed NCCL is
   lazy-initialised; that was true at one point but the dispatch refactor
   (727b141c0) made both NCCL and the internal pipeline eager.  Rewrite
   the comment to match current behaviour.

3. Assert in ggml_backend_cuda_comm_allreduce_internal that the tensor's
   byte size is a 16-byte multiple.  The chunked-kernel issues full-width
   vector loads/stores, so this is a precondition; tensor-parallel splits
   of hidden-dim-multiples satisfy it trivially, but a hard assert turns
   any caller-side bug into a clear failure rather than UB.

device's just-recorded event (the in-flight new AR) and creates a circular
dependency with the in-kernel peer signal.  Two-pass dispatch (all waits,
then all launches) avoids this.

Bump POOL_SIZE 2 -> 8 (small memory cost, more breathing room for the
GPU's view of the event chain) and add a runtime env override for the
hybrid kernel chunk size (GGML_CUDA_AR_HYBRID_CHUNK_BYTES) for tuning.
One-shot stderr diagnostic at first AR prints the chosen path + sizing.

Result on 2x RTX 5090 Linux, 70b ub_sweep:

    ub=64   (1 MB AR): 913 -> 1036 t/s  (+13.5% vs old, +1.8% vs NCCL)
    ub=128  (2 MB AR): 1056 -> 1181     (+11.9%, +3.7% vs NCCL)
    ub=256  (4 MB AR): 1212 -> 1424     (+17.5%, +3.5% vs NCCL)

Internal now beats NCCL at every size (+1.8% to +15.6%), recovering all
ground in the 1-4 MB regime that was previously a 10-12% loss.

* ggml-cuda: stub internal AllReduce on HIP/MUSA, drop pre-Ampere mention, gate NCCL fallback warning on !HIP

The internal AllReduce relies on cudaHostAllocPortable/Mapped,
cudaHostGetDevicePointer, and __nanosleep -- none of which the HIP or
MUSA shims expose -- so wrap the implementation in
!defined(GGML_USE_HIP) && !defined(GGML_USE_MUSA) and provide
nullptr/no-op/false stubs in the #else branch.  The dispatcher already
treats a null pipeline as init failure and silently falls back to the
meta backend's generic AllReduce, so HIP/MUSA builds compile clean and
behave correctly without further call-site changes.

PR review follow-ups:
 - drop "or pre-Ampere?" from the internal-init failure warning -- the
   kernel doesn't require Ampere or newer.
 - guard the "NCCL not compiled in" fallback warning behind
   !defined(GGML_USE_HIP); the suggestion to install NCCL only makes
   sense on NVIDIA builds.

* allreduce: guard __nanosleep on Volta+ and reject pre-Volta devices at init

__nanosleep is the only Volta-specific intrinsic in the kernel; wrap it
in #if __CUDA_ARCH__ >= GGML_CUDA_CC_VOLTA / NO_DEVICE_CODE so the file
still compiles cleanly when targeting older arches (the dispatcher's
init check below ensures the kernel is never actually launched on
pre-Volta).

Add a per-device compute-capability check in pipeline_init that returns
nullptr if any device is below sm70.  The dispatcher already treats
nullptr as init failure and silently falls back to the meta backend's
generic AllReduce.

* allreduce: fix CI -Werror warnings (sign-compare, format, restrict alias, maybe-uninitialized)

The CUDA CI builds with -Werror -Wsign-compare -Wformat -Wrestrict
-Wmaybe-uninitialized.  Address each:

 - n_devices is size_t; change `int i; i < n_devices` to size_t in the
   three init loops, and the matching GGML_LOG_INFO format from %d to %zu.
 - ggml_cuda_ar_kernel was launched with sendbuf == recvbuf (in-place
   reduction), so the __restrict__ qualifiers on those parameters were
   technically UB.  Drop __restrict__ from sendbuf and recvbuf; an A/B
   sweep showed <0.6% perf delta (within noise) on Linux.
 - The buf/src/dst pointer arrays in ggml_cuda_ar_allreduce and the
   per-iteration arrays in ggml_cuda_ar_allreduce_copy_outer were
   declared with size GGML_CUDA_MAX_DEVICES but the loop only writes
   indices [0, n_devices); zero-initialise so the compiler sees the
   tail elements as defined.

This commit adds explicit casts to float for -INFINITY.

The motivation for this is that in CUDA 11.8.0, the -INFINITY macro is
defined as a double (a header provided NVCC). This triggers a warning
and hence causes a CI failure in whisper.cpp. I belive that this header
might have been updated in CUDA 12 which is why we don't see this
warning.

* metal : tighten input-position loop in kernel_conv_transpose_1d (ggml/1477)

For a given output position j on the time axis, only input positions
i such that i*s0 <= j < i*s0 + K contribute -- i.e.
i in [ceil((j - K + 1)/s0), floor(j/s0)] intersected with [0, IL-1].
That's at most ceil(K/s0) values (typically 2 for stride==K/2
transposed convs).

The current kernel iterates the full IL range and filters with an
`if`, amplifying per-thread work by IL/ceil(K/s0) (~160x for IL=320,
K=10, s0=5 -- a representative codec-decoder shape). On Apple M1
the wasted work trips the macOS GPU watchdog
(kIOGPUCommandBufferCallbackErrorImpactingInteractivity) on long
graphs.

Compute i_min, i_max analytically before the inner loop and iterate
only [i_min, i_max]. Output is bit-identical (same multiplies and
adds in the same order); loop bound shrinks by IL/ceil(K/s0).

Tested on M1 with a downstream consumer running a TTS codec at full
T_codec; end-to-end codec decode ~3-4x faster, zero watchdog hits
across long synthesis runs vs ~30% pre-patch.

`im2col_cuda` and `im2col_3d_cuda` both dispatch with
`block_nums.y = OW`. CUDA caps grid Y at 65535. Conv1d encoders on
raw 16 kHz audio with T > 65535 (~ 4 s) trip the limit -- e.g. SEANet
at 11 s lands at OW = 176000 -- and the launch returns
`invalid configuration argument`.

Clamp `block_nums.y` to `MIN(OW, MAX_GRIDDIM_Y)` and loop inside the
kernel with stride `MAX_GRIDDIM_Y`. Same in-kernel stride pattern
already used for the z axis (`MAX_GRIDDIM_Z`). Both 2D `im2col_kernel`
and 3D `im2col_3d_kernel` need the same fix. Bit-identical for
OW <= 65535 (single iteration of the new outer loop).

Tested on T4 / Jetson Orin with a SEANet encoder running on 11 s /
16 kHz audio (im2col reaching OW ~ 176000); pre-fix launch returns
`invalid configuration argument`, post-fix runs to completion.
Existing test-backend-ops im2col cases unchanged.

* whisper : set bench data for each iteration (#3812)

* whisper : set bench data for each iteration

This commit updates whisper_bench_ggml_mul_mat_str to intialize the
tensors data for each iteration.

The motivation for this is that is currently possible for a previous
run's results, F32 values, to leak into the next run. When it is time
for the F16 iteration then F32 results can cause NaN values to appear
in the tensor values causing the F16 iteration to fail.

This commit sets GGML_NATIVE=OFF for x86_64 architectures.

The motivation for this is to try to get CI to pass and the theory is
that the libggml-cpu.so library in the ccache might have been built by a
runner that supports a different instruction set. When another runner
that does not support that instruction set tries to use it, it will fail
with a segmentation fault.

I'm not sure about this yet but going to try this out and if it does not
work I'll ssh into the runner to debug further.

* ci : use github ubuntu-22.04-arm runner instead of qemu (#3815)

* ci : use github ubuntu-22.04-arm runner instead of qemu

This commit updates the ubuntu-22-gcc-arm64 job to use a arm github
runner instead of QEMU.

The motivation for this is that we get intermittent failure specifically
related to QEMU. For example:
```console
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
qemu: uncaught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - core dumped
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
dpkg: error processing package libc-bin (--configure):

Running hooks in /etc/ca-certificates/update.d...
done.
Errors were encountered while processing:
libc-bin
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
```
This is an attempt to try to avoid QEMU and hence avoid this issue.

* common : fix server /inference fails to decode in-memory audio (regression) (#3818)

* common: add memory buffer overload of read_audio_data

whisper-server /inference without --convert passed the uploaded file
bytes to read_audio_data as a filename, so ma_decoder_init_file tried
to open a path starting with "RIFF" and failed. every request returned
HTTP 400 "Invalid request" on builds without WHISPER_FFMPEG, which is
the default.

factor the PCM extraction into a shared helper and add an overload that
decodes straight from a memory buffer via ma_decoder_init_memory, which
the function already used for the stdin path. server now calls it with
the upload content. the filename overload behavior is unchanged.

* SYCL: fix multi-GPU system RAM exhaustion by using Level Zero allocations (llama/21597)

* SYCL: fix multi-GPU system RAM exhaustion by using Level Zero allocations

Replace sycl::malloc_device with zeMemAllocDevice for GPU memory allocation
in the SYCL backend. sycl::malloc_device triggers the xe kernel driver's
DMA-buf/TTM path which mirrors every VRAM allocation 1:1 in system RAM.
zeMemAllocDevice uses the SVM/P2P path with no host staging.

On a dual Intel Arc Pro B70 system (64GB VRAM, 64GB RAM), a 15.6 GiB model
consumed 60 GiB of system RAM via sycl::malloc_device, causing OOM crashes.
With zeMemAllocDevice, the same workload uses ~6.7 GiB of system RAM with
no performance regression.

All Level Zero calls include automatic fallback to the original SYCL
allocation path if Level Zero interop is unavailable.

* SYCL: address review feedback - remove try/catch, check device types, deduplicate

- Remove try/catch from malloc/free/memcpy helpers, check backend and
  device type upfront instead (ggml_sycl_is_level_zero, ggml_sycl_is_dgpu)
- Move shared helpers (is_level_zero, is_dgpu, free_device) to common.cpp
  and declare in common.hpp to eliminate code duplication
- Use SYCL_CHECK(CHECK_TRY_ERROR()) for fallback sycl::free calls
- Guard dev2dev_memcpy L0 path to dGPU-to-dGPU only, preserving the
  host-staged path for iGPU-to-dGPU transfers
- Add Windows Level Zero SDK path detection (LEVEL_ZERO_V1_SDK_PATH)
  in CMakeLists.txt (co-authored with @arthw)

* SYCL: add build/runtime flags for Level Zero, address review feedback

Implements the architecture suggested by @arthw: compile-time and runtime
flags to cleanly separate Level Zero and SYCL memory API paths.

- Add GGML_SYCL_SUPPORT_LEVEL_ZERO cmake option (default ON). All Level
  Zero code is wrapped in #ifdef so the build works on systems without
  the Level Zero SDK installed (e.g. CPU-only CI servers). Both the
  loader library and headers are checked before enabling.

- Add GGML_SYCL_ENABLE_LEVEL_ZERO runtime env var (default 1). Controls
  whether Level Zero or SYCL memory APIs are used. Only one API style is
  used per session, no mixing. If Level Zero is enabled but the devices
  don't support the Level Zero backend, it auto-disables with a warning.

- Remove Level Zero code from dpct_malloc. It was unused (dpct::device_memory
  is not called anywhere in the backend) and used try/catch for flow control.

- Update SYCL.md with documentation for both new parameters.

Tested on Intel Arc Pro B70 (32GB), single-GPU and dual-GPU, with both
GGML_SYCL_SUPPORT_LEVEL_ZERO=ON and OFF builds. AI-assisted development
(Claude). Code reviewed and tested on my hardware.

* SYCL: unify Level Zero malloc/free call sites, address review feedback

Move ggml_sycl_malloc_device to common.cpp alongside ggml_sycl_free_device.
Both functions are now unconditionally available — Level Zero code is
#ifdef'd inside the functions, not at call sites. All call sites use
uniform SYCL_CHECK(CHECK_TRY_ERROR()) wrapping with no #ifdef blocks.

Addresses arthw's review: wrap all malloc/free in SYCL_CHECK for stack
traces on failure, eliminate duplicated #ifdef/else patterns at 6 call
sites (-29 lines net).

* SYCL: add Level Zero SDK to CI, fix device check and missed alloc paths

Add Level Zero SDK installation to Ubuntu and Windows SYCL CI jobs
so the Level Zero code path is compiled and tested in CI.

Fix two bugs found during extended dual-GPU testing (no
ONEAPI_DEVICE_SELECTOR set):

- The Level Zero backend check was iterating all SYCL devices
  including CPU. The OpenCL CPU device caused Level Zero to be
  disabled for the GPUs, defeating the fix on multi-GPU systems.
  Added is_gpu() filter so only GPU devices are checked.

- sycl_ext_malloc_device/sycl_ext_free (tensor reorder temp buffers)
  were still calling sycl::malloc/sycl::free directly, bypassing the
  Level Zero path. Routed through ggml_sycl_malloc_device/free_device
  for consistency with the other device memory call sites.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* SYCL: address arthw review feedback on Level Zero memory API structure

- Move ggml_sycl_malloc_device to static function in ggml-sycl.cpp;
  only ggml_sycl_free_device (used by common.cpp) stays in common.cpp
- Switch both helpers to use g_ggml_sycl_enable_level_zero global
  instead of per-call queue backend checks
- Remove #ifdef wrapper from global definition; always declare at 0,
  add #else branch in init block so it stays 0 when L0 not compiled in
- Update init loop comment to explain GPU-only device check
- CMakeLists: message(STATUS) before the if block; align option wording

AI-assisted implementation. Reviewed and tested on dual Intel Arc Pro
B70 (32 GB each): test-backend-ops OK on both GPUs, single/dual-GPU
Q4_K_M and Q8_0 bench correct, zeMemAllocDevice GTT delta confirmed
<5 MiB per 4 GiB allocation (vs ~4 GiB shadow with sycl::malloc_device).

* HIP: RDNA3 mma FA, faster AMD transpose, tune AMD (llama/22880)

Adds RDNA3 support to the CUDA mma FA kernel. To make the RDNA3 tensor cores work with the FP16 accumulation for VKQ the tiles they need to be 32 logical units long in direction of the attention head; for head sizes 80 and 112 that are not exactly divided by 32 the regular length of 16 with FP32 accumulation is used instead. The longer tiles also enable more efficient transposition for a warp size of 32 which is why it's also used for RDNA4. However, this scrambles the data layout of the accumulators along the attention head dimension. To prevent accidental misuse I added another entry to ggml_cuda_mma::data_layout.

I also tuned the kernel parameters for RDNA3, RDNA4, and CDNA1 in general, during which I discovered that the kernel can be made to work for head sizes up to 256 for CDNA. For RDNA3/4 I was not able to get better performance that the tile kernel for head sizes > 128.

- Write intermediate states to different slots during token loop
- For K=1, maintain backward-compatible single-slot behavior

For whatever reason, the files are under additional sub-path
`vulkan/` under the cmake directory, which does not match either
current LunarG macOS Vulkan SDK structure (`lib/cmake/SPIRV-Headers`),
nor what gets installed when you run the cmake build+install for
SPIRV-Headers itself on at least Linux (`share/cmake/SPIRV-Headers`).

This allows for SPIRV-Headers to be found, as currently the CI
runner's setup does not seem to include the relevant path in
list of search locations.

This is installed by the project if it is built and installed.
Receiving an error during the configuration step is generally

With the introduction of MTP we can have multiple compute contexts for

* devops : add spirv-headers to vulkan dockerfile

* ggml-cuda : add explicit casts to -INFINITY for float and half2 types

This commit adds explicit casts to float for -INFINITY.

The motivation for this is that in CUDA 11.8.0, the -INFINITY macro is
defined as a double (a header provided NVCC). This triggers a warning
and hence causes a CI failure in whisper.cpp. I belive that this header
might have been updated in CUDA 12 which is why we don't see this
warning.

* ggml: install ggml.pc in <libdir>/pkgconfig (ggml/1480)

* metal : tighten input-position loop in kernel_conv_transpose_1d (ggml/1477)

For a given output position j on the time axis, only input positions
i such that i*s0 <= j < i*s0 + K contribute -- i.e.
i in [ceil((j - K + 1)/s0), floor(j/s0)] intersected with [0, IL-1].
That's at most ceil(K/s0) values (typically 2 for stride==K/2
transposed convs).

The current kernel iterates the full IL range and filters with an
`if`, amplifying per-thread work by IL/ceil(K/s0) (~160x for IL=320,
K=10, s0=5 -- a representative codec-decoder shape). On Apple M1
the wasted work trips the macOS GPU watchdog
(kIOGPUCommandBufferCallbackErrorImpactingInteractivity) on long
graphs.

Compute i_min, i_max analytically before the inner loop and iterate
only [i_min, i_max]. Output is bit-identical (same multiplies and
adds in the same order); loop bound shrinks by IL/ceil(K/s0).

Tested on M1 with a downstream consumer running a TTS codec at full
T_codec; end-to-end codec decode ~3-4x faster, zero watchdog hits
across long synthesis runs vs ~30% pre-patch.

* test-backend-ops: extend snake_fuse to rank-4 with ne[2]/ne[3] > 1 cases

`im2col_cuda` and `im2col_3d_cuda` both dispatch with
`block_nums.y = OW`. CUDA caps grid Y at 65535. Conv1d encoders on
raw 16 kHz audio with T > 65535 (~ 4 s) trip the limit -- e.g. SEANet
at 11 s lands at OW = 176000 -- and the launch returns
`invalid configuration argument`.

Clamp `block_nums.y` to `MIN(OW, MAX_GRIDDIM_Y)` and loop inside the
kernel with stride `MAX_GRIDDIM_Y`. Same in-kernel stride pattern
already used for the z axis (`MAX_GRIDDIM_Z`). Both 2D `im2col_kernel`
and 3D `im2col_3d_kernel` need the same fix. Bit-identical for
OW <= 65535 (single iteration of the new outer loop).

Tested on T4 / Jetson Orin with a SEANet encoder running on 11 s /
16 kHz audio (im2col reaching OW ~ 176000); pre-fix launch returns
`invalid configuration argument`, post-fix runs to completion.
Existing test-backend-ops im2col cases unchanged.

* whisper : set bench data for each iteration (#3812)

* whisper : set bench data for each iteration

This commit updates whisper_bench_ggml_mul_mat_str to intialize the
tensors data for each iteration.

The motivation for this is that is currently possible for a previous
run's results, F32 values, to leak into the next run. When it is time
for the F16 iteration then F32 results can cause NaN values to appear
in the tensor values causing the F16 iteration to fail.

* ci : set GGML_NATIVE=OFF if x86_64

This commit sets GGML_NATIVE=OFF for x86_64 architectures.

The motivation for this is to try to get CI to pass and the theory is
that the libggml-cpu.so library in the ccache might have been built by a
runner that supports a different instruction set. When another runner
that does not support that instruction set tries to use it, it will fail
with a segmentation fault.

I'm not sure about this yet but going to try this out and if it does not
work I'll ssh into the runner to debug further.

* ci : use github ubuntu-22.04-arm runner instead of qemu (#3815)

* ci : use github ubuntu-22.04-arm runner instead of qemu

This commit updates the ubuntu-22-gcc-arm64 job to use a arm github
runner instead of QEMU.

The motivation for this is that we get intermittent failure specifically
related to QEMU. For example:
```console
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
qemu: uncaught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - core dumped
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
dpkg: error processing package libc-bin (--configure):
installed libc-bin package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 139

Running hooks in /etc/ca-certificates/update.d...
done.
Errors were encountered while processing:
libc-bin
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
```
This is an attempt to try to avoid QEMU and hence avoid this issue.

* ci : remove QEMU where possible

* common : fix server /inference fails to decode in-memory audio (regression) (#3818)

* common: add memory buffer overload of read_audio_data

whisper-server /inference without --convert passed the uploaded file
bytes to read_audio_data as a filename, so ma_decoder_init_file tried
to open a path starting with "RIFF" and failed. every request returned
HTTP 400 "Invalid request" on builds without WHISPER_FFMPEG, which is
the default.

factor the PCM extraction into a shared helper and add an overload that
decodes straight from a memory buffer via ma_decoder_init_memory, which
the function already used for the stdin path. server now calls it with
the upload content. the filename overload behavior is unchanged.

* cmake : add CMakePresets.json [no ci] (#3808)

This commit adds a CMakePresets.json file similar to the one in
llama.cpp.

configuration which can be used with cmake --preset <name>.

It also allows for extendins these preset with a
CMakeUserPresets.json for specific hardware (like CPUs),
architectures, and toolchains etc.

* SYCL: fix multi-GPU system RAM exhaustion by using Level Zero allocations (llama/21597)

* SYCL: fix multi-GPU system RAM exhaustion by using Level Zero allocations

Replace sycl::malloc_device with zeMemAllocDevice for GPU memory allocation
in the SYCL backend. sycl::malloc_device triggers the xe kernel driver's
DMA-buf/TTM path which mirrors every VRAM allocation 1:1 in system RAM.
zeMemAllocDevice uses the SVM/P2P path with no host staging.

On a dual Intel Arc Pro B70 system (64GB VRAM, 64GB RAM), a 15.6 GiB model
consumed 60 GiB of system RAM via sycl::malloc_device, causing OOM crashes.
With zeMemAllocDevice, the same workload uses ~6.7 GiB of system RAM with
no performance regression.

All Level Zero calls include automatic fallback to the original SYCL
allocation path if Level Zero interop is unavailable.

* SYCL: address review feedback - remove try/catch, check device types, deduplicate

- Remove try/catch from malloc/free/memcpy helpers, check backend and
  device type upfront instead (ggml_sycl_is_level_zero, ggml_sycl_is_dgpu)
- Move shared helpers (is_level_zero, is_dgpu, free_device) to common.cpp
  and declare in common.hpp to eliminate code duplication
- Use SYCL_CHECK(CHECK_TRY_ERROR()) for fallback sycl::free calls
- Guard dev2dev_memcpy L0 path to dGPU-to-dGPU only, preserving the
  host-staged path for iGPU-to-dGPU transfers
- Add Windows Level Zero SDK path detection (LEVEL_ZERO_V1_SDK_PATH)
  in CMakeLists.txt (co-authored with @arthw)

* SYCL: add build/runtime flags for Level Zero, address review feedback

Implements the architecture suggested by @arthw: compile-time and runtime
flags to cleanly separate Level Zero and SYCL memory API paths.

- Add GGML_SYCL_SUPPORT_LEVEL_ZERO cmake option (default ON). All Level
  Zero code is wrapped in #ifdef so the build works on systems without
  the Level Zero SDK installed (e.g. CPU-only CI servers). Both the
  loader library and headers are checked before enabling.

- Add GGML_SYCL_ENABLE_LEVEL_ZERO runtime env var (default 1). Controls
  whether Level Zero or SYCL memory APIs are used. Only one API style is
  used per session, no mixing. If Level Zero is enabled but the devices
  don't support the Level Zero backend, it auto-disables with a warning.

- Remove Level Zero code from dpct_malloc. It was unused (dpct::device_memory
  is not called anywhere in the backend) and used try/catch for flow control.

- Update SYCL.md with documentation for both new parameters.

Tested on Intel Arc Pro B70 (32GB), single-GPU and dual-GPU, with both
GGML_SYCL_SUPPORT_LEVEL_ZERO=ON and OFF builds. AI-assisted development
(Claude). Code reviewed and tested on my hardware.

* SYCL: unify Level Zero malloc/free call sites, address review feedback

Move ggml_sycl_malloc_device to common.cpp alongside ggml_sycl_free_device.
Both functions are now unconditionally available — Level Zero code is
#ifdef'd inside the functions, not at call sites. All call sites use
uniform SYCL_CHECK(CHECK_TRY_ERROR()) wrapping with no #ifdef blocks.

Addresses arthw's review: wrap all malloc/free in SYCL_CHECK for stack
traces on failure, eliminate duplicated #ifdef/else patterns at 6 call

* SYCL: add Level Zero SDK to CI, fix device check and missed alloc paths

Add Level Zero SDK installation to Ubuntu and Windows SYCL CI jobs
so the Level Zero code path is compiled and tested in CI.

Fix two bugs found during extended dual-GPU testing (no
ONEAPI_DEVICE_SELECTOR set):

- The Level Zero backend check was iterating all SYCL devices
  including CPU. The OpenCL CPU device caused Level Zero to be
  disabled for the GPUs, defeating the fix on multi-GPU systems.
  Added is_gpu() filter so only GPU devices are checked.

- sycl_ext_malloc_device/sycl_ext_free (tensor reorder temp buffers)
  were still calling sycl::malloc/sycl::free directly, bypassing the
  Level Zero path. Routed through ggml_sycl_malloc_device/free_device
  for consistency with the other device memory call sites.

* SYCL: address arthw review feedback on Level Zero memory API structure

- Move ggml_sycl_malloc_device to static function in ggml-sycl.cpp;
  only ggml_sycl_free_device (used by common.cpp) stays in common.cpp
- Switch both helpers to use g_ggml_sycl_enable_level_zero global
  instead of per-call queue backend checks
- Remove #ifdef wrapper from global definition; always declare at 0,
  add #else branch in init block so it stays 0 when L0 not compiled in
- Update init loop comment to explain GPU-only device check
- CMakeLists: message(STATUS) before the if block; align option wording

AI-assisted implementation. Reviewed and tested on dual Intel Arc Pro
B70 (32 GB each): test-backend-ops OK on both GPUs, single/dual-GPU
Q4_K_M and Q8_0 bench correct, zeMemAllocDevice GTT delta confirmed
<5 MiB per 4 GiB allocation (vs ~4 GiB shadow with sycl::malloc_device).

* HIP: RDNA3 mma FA, faster AMD transpose, tune AMD (llama/22880)

Adds RDNA3 support to the CUDA mma FA kernel. To make the RDNA3 tensor cores work with the FP16 accumulation for VKQ the tiles they need to be 32 logical units long in direction of the attention head; for head sizes 80 and 112 that are not exactly divided by 32 the regular length of 16 with FP32 accumulation is used instead. The longer tiles also enable more efficient transposition for a warp size of 32 which is why it's also used for RDNA4. However, this scrambles the data layout of the accumulators along the attention head dimension. To prevent accidental misuse I added another entry to ggml_cuda_mma::data_layout.

I also tuned the kernel parameters for RDNA3, RDNA4, and CDNA1 in general, during which I discovered that the kernel can be made to work for head sizes up to 256 for CDNA. For RDNA3/4 I was not able to get better performance that the tile kernel for head sizes > 128.

For whatever reason, the files are under additional sub-path

current LunarG macOS Vulkan SDK structure (`lib/cmake/SPIRV-Headers`),
nor what gets installed when you run the cmake build+install for
SPIRV-Headers itself on at least Linux (`share/cmake/SPIRV-Headers`).

This allows for SPIRV-Headers to be found, as currently the CI
runner's setup does not seem to include the relevant path in
list of search locations.

* vulkan: fuse snake activation (mul, sin, sqr, mul, add) (llama/22855)

* vulkan: fuse snake activation (mul, sin, sqr, mul, add)

Add snake.comp shader with F32 / F16 / BF16 pipelines and
ggml_vk_snake_dispatch_fused. The matcher recognizes the naive 5 op
decomposition emitted by audio decoders (BigVGAN, Vocos) for snake
activation y = x + sin(a*x)^2 * inv_b and rewrites it to a single
elementwise kernel.

test_snake_fuse from the CUDA PR now also compares CPU naive vs
Vulkan fused across F32 / F16 / BF16.

* vulkan: address jeffbolznv review for fused snake activation

Rename T / C to ne0 / ne1 in the shader and push constants to match
the standard naming convention used across the Vulkan backend.

Tighten ggml_vk_can_fuse_snake: require x and dst to be contiguous
(the shader uses idx = i0 + i1 * ne0) and require a / inv_b to be
tightly packed on the broadcast dim (the shader reads data_a[i1]).

* vulkan: tighten snake fusion type checks for all operands (address jeffbolznv review)

* vulkan: reject snake fusion when ne[2] or ne[3] > 1 (address jeffbolznv review)

* vulkan: address 0cc4m review for fused snake activation

snake.comp is renamed to follow the ggml DATA_A_* / A_TYPE convention.
A_TYPE now applies to the activation tensor data_a instead of the
broadcast multiplier, and the bindings become data_a (A_TYPE), data_b
(float), data_c (float) and data_d (D_TYPE). A header at the top of
the shader maps each buffer to its role in y = x + sin(b * x)^2 * c.

On the C++ side, ggml_vk_can_fuse_snake reuses the existing snake_pattern
constant instead of duplicating the op list, sin_node is extracted as a
named local alongside the other chain nodes, and the broadcast operands
a and inv_b are now required to be GGML_TYPE_F32 to match the hardcoded
float bindings on data_b and data_c (the previous a->type == x->type
would silently reject any future BF16 or F16 chain once the supports_op
gate for SIN / SQR is lifted). ggml_vk_snake_dispatch_fused gets an
explicit GGML_TYPE_F32 case and GGML_ABORT on default in place of the
silent f32 fallback, and a stale comment about data_a[i1] / data_inv_b[i1]
is refreshed to match the new binding names.

* SYCL: add BF16 to DMMV kernel path for ~4x token generation speedup

BF16 models had no dedicated token generation kernel — they fell through
to the generic full-GEMM path, resulting in ~14% memory bandwidth
utilization on Intel Arc GPUs. This adds BF16 support to the DMMV
(dequantize mul-mat-vec) path, matching the existing F16 implementation.

Fixes #20478

* SYCL: fix BF16 DMMV out-of-bounds when ncols % 64 != 0

The qk=1 kernel (used for F16 and BF16) iterates with stride
2*GGML_SYCL_DMMV_X (= 64 on Intel targets where WARP_SIZE=16). When
ncols is a multiple of DMMV_X (32) but not of 2*DMMV_X (64), the last
warp iteration accesses elements at col >= ncols, producing NaN for the
final row and wrong values for interior rows.

Fix: tighten can_use_dequantize_mul_mat_vec to require ne[0] %
(2*DMMV_X) == 0 for F16/BF16 types, and update the ASSERT in the BF16
launcher to match. Quantized types use block-structured kernels with
different access patterns and keep the existing DMMV_X check.

Verified: test-backend-ops MUL_MAT passes 913/913 on Intel Arc Pro B70.
Previously failing: m=128/129 n=1 k=1056 cases (NaN and ERR > 0.0005).

When a multi-byte UTF-8 codepoint (most commonly a CJK character, 3 bytes)
is split across multiple whisper tokens, the -ojf/--output-json-full
writer emitted each token's partial bytes as its own JSON string, producing
invalid UTF-8 that chokes downstream parsers.

Merge adjacent tokens in output_json whenever the accumulated text still
ends on an incomplete UTF-8 sequence. The merged entry keeps the first
token's id/p/t_dtw and extends t1 to the last absorbed token, which
matches how segment text is assembled elsewhere.

* docs : add AGENTS.md and CONTRIBUTING.md [no ci] (#3826)

* docs : add AGENTS.md and CONTRIBUTING.md [no ci]

This commit add AGENTS.md and CONTRIBUTING.md which are based on the
same files in llama.cpp. They have been modified slightly to fit with
whisper.cpp.

The motivation for this is to clarify the contribution policy in
whisper.cpp so that contributers can have a better understanding of the
expectations and requirements for contributing to the project.

* ci : only run docker jobs when pushed to master [no ci] (#3828)

* ci : set GGML_NATIVE=OFF for bindings-java (#3830)

* ci : set GGML_NATIVE=OFF for bindings-java

This commit attempts to address an issue with the bindings-java job
which is currently failing.

I've not been able to reproduce this locally my windows machine and I
suspect that what might be happning is that windows job compiles on a
runner where it has different CPU features, for example AVX512 and when
this dll is used on a different runner that does not have that feature
it will crash.

* ci : renable arm64 docker builds (#3832)

This commit re-enables the arm64 docker images builds which were removed
in Commit 9366544991bfee59c927e7c23b1861c6c762e708
("ci : fix arm builds"). It also uses ubuntu-24.04-arm as the runner
which enables us to avoid QEMU.

* hexagon: add support for CONCAT op (llama/23648)

* hexagon: add support for CONCAT with optimized concat_2d_transposed

qwen3.5 models are quite heavy on the CONCAT with large and transposed src1.

* hex-concat: use fastdiv in generic version

* hex-concat: make checks for transposed a bit more readable

* hex-concat: reoder dma ops for better pipelining

* hex-cont/cpy: optimize CPY and CONT ops

The primary change is to avoid scalar divs in the inner loops.
We were calling hvx_copy_uu(... type_size) where type_size is non a constexpr.
This causes runtime divs by that value which is normally just 4 or 2 (f32/f16).

* hex-get-rows: optimize GET_ROWS for large rows

We now use DMA for larger rows and also split them into chunks to improve perf for Qwen3.5 and other models
that do lots of GET_ROWS with huge (2MB+ rows).

Also bump the DMA queue depth now that we can take advantage of it.

* hex-concat: unroll the inner loops of concat_2d

* hex-concat: more updates to concat_2d to improve perf a bit further

* hex-cpy: fixed n_rows per thread checks in the copy ops

* hmx-fa: fix alignment issues while computing dma sizes

* hex-set-rows: add early returns for idle threads

* hvx-rope: minor optimization to replace loops with fastdiv logic

* hex-rope: replace scalar tail processing with HVX

* hex-rope: optimize rope cache init with HVX

Add hvx-utils sin/cos helpers that use an aprox method (similar to rsqrt, inverse, etc)
Use the helpers to optimize ROPE.

* vulkan: optimize conv2d and implement coopmat1 support (llama/22620)

* vulkan: stage cm2 conv2d accumulator through shmem before global store

* vulkan: add coopmat1 conv2d path

* fallback when using too much shared memory. clean up comments

* Require 16x16x16 and subgroup size 32 or 64

* vulkan: Switch MUL_MAT_VEC to 4 K per iteration for F16/32

Against mesa git, this shows a 4.8% performance improvement for
tg128 on Qwen3.5-9B:BF16 on Intel BMG.

Note that this breaks some tests until the last commit which fixes
OOB A reads.

* vulkan: Use aligned loads in mul_mat_vec when available

Against mesa git, this shows a 3.3% performance improvement for
tg128 on Qwen3.5-9B:BF16 on Intel BMG.

* Make explicit that `num_rows` is <= `NUM_ROWS` in mul_mat_vec

Mesa's UUB logic can't see through conditionals, limiting its
ability to understand the bounds on the `num_rows` field in the
cleanup run. Making it explicit that `num_rows` is, indeed, always
<= `NUM_ROWS` helps mesa make slightly better codegen.

Against mesa git, this currently shows a 1% performance improvement
in tg128 on Qwen3.5-9B:BF16 on Intel BMG.

* vulkan: Fix OOB A reads in MUL_MAT_VEC for odd sizes

There was a TODO to fix the OOB reads from the A matrix which we do
here.

It is within performance noise (+<0.1%) in tg128 for
Qwen3.5-9B:BF16 on Intel BMG.

* ggml-webgpu: Fix how to dispatch WG to some ops (llama/23750)

* hmx-mm: add support for Q4_1

* hexagon: fix repack scratch buffer overflow

* hex-mm: fix Q4_1 repack buffer sizing

* hexagon: flip the build order for mm and fa (seems to help LTO)

* hex-mm: add vec_dot 4x1s and minor HMX cleanup after adding Q4_1

* hex-mm: fix fp16 vec_dot fallback to 2x1 and another issue that could cause incorrect output

* hexagon: resurrect early-wake and add support for polling for op-batch completions

With Q4_1 ggml-hexagon now claims pretty much the entire graphs which gives the CPU more time to chilax.
This is a good thing! But it does add extra latency for the pure benchmark runs.
Early wakeup helps recover the latency a bit in the normals runs and op-batch polling is just for benchmarking.

* CUDA: route batch>=4 quantized matmul to MMQ on AMD MFMA hardware (llama/23227)

* CUDA: per-quant MMVQ/MMQ batch threshold on AMD MFMA hardware

The dispatcher uses a single global threshold (MMVQ_MAX_BATCH_SIZE = 8)
to choose between mul_mat_vec_q (per-row GEMV) and mul_mat_q (MFMA-tiled
GEMM) for quantized matmul. On AMD CDNA, the optimal crossover differs
substantially by quant family because the per-row GEMV cost is dominated
by dequantisation, not the dot-product itself: K-quants pay a heavier
super-block decode and so MMQ wins sooner; legacy and IQ quants have
lean decode and stay ahead until the batch fully populates an MFMA tile.

This patch introduces ggml_cuda_should_use_mmvq(type, cc, ne11) -> bool,
mirroring the existing ggml_cuda_should_use_mmq, and gates per-quant
thresholds on amd_mfma_available(cc):

  Q3_K, Q4_K, Q5_K  : MMVQ <= 3   (MMQ wins from batch=4: +5% .. +76%)
  Q2_K, Q6_K        : MMVQ <= 5   (MMQ wins from batch=6: +8% .. +35%)
  others            : MMVQ <= 8   (legacy & IQ regress under MMQ; unchanged)

Non-AMD-MFMA paths (NVIDIA, RDNA, CDNA1 without MFMA) are byte-identical
to master. GGML_CUDA_FORCE_MMVQ=1 restores the original global threshold
for A/B testing.

Measured on MI250X (gfx90a, ROCm 7.2.1) with Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct,
llama-bench pp512 across all 20 supported quants, ubatch 1..8, 10 reps.
Full table in PR description.

    Q4_K_S:  559 -> 940  (+68%)

    Q3_K_S:  629 -> 879  (+40%)

Current `pkgconfig` configuration file installation path and its

Gentoo Linux.

Thus use the `CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR` variable instead of a hardcoded
`lib`.

* server : merge split utf-8 token text in verbose json (#3850)

whisper_model_load() can throw instead of returning false: std::runtime_error
from this file (failed ggml context / no compatible buffer type), or
vk::SystemError / vk::OutOfDeviceMemoryError from the ggml-vulkan backend during
device/buffer allocation.

whisper_init_* are extern "C", so a C++ exception unwinding across that boundary
aborts non-C++ callers (Rust via whisper-rs, Go via cgo) -- on Windows
STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN (0xC0000409) -- even though the function already
returns NULL on failure. Wrap whisper_model_load() in try/catch and route any
throw into the existing NULL-return path.

This commit adds the --fail option to the model download scripts so that
if the model download returns a server error this is picked up. This is
then detected in run.sh and a error message is displayed and the script
stops and returns an error.

The motivation for this is that currently it is possible for the model
download to fail but this script proceeds and instead of a model file
the contents will be an html page probably with the error. This will
then cause the model to not be able to load due to a missing magic
number. I'm not sure we can do much about the downloading failing,
perhaps a retry but at least this will give a clearer error message.

* ci : enable command traces to see download command in use

This commit adds curl retry options to the model download script.

The motivation is that currently when CI jobs run huggingface rate limit

This is an attempt to work around this and if it does not work then we
can an authorization token.
