Max KrasnyanskyandGitHub 8f7f3bf141 hexagon: MUL_MAT, MUL_MAT_ID, FLASH_ATTN and GDN cleanup and optimizations for latest models (#23989)
* hex-mm: initial support for F32 * F32 -> F32 matmuls

* hex-rms-norm: fix src1 stride use in fused rms_norm_mul

* hex-ops: clear spad pointers in the ops that clober it

This fixes an odd case where fused rms-norm-mul was failing but only in qwen3.5-2B and only at searth op-bath sizes.

* hmx-mm: add support for F32 * F32 -> F32 matmul_2d on HMX

Decided to use Q4_0 * F32 -> F32 matmul for this.
Q4_0 gets dequantized and tiled into F16, and here we quantize and tile F32 into F16.
Super simple and pretty efficient.

* hmx-mm: route f16 2D matmuls through the same kernel used for all other types

* hmx-mm: re-introduce pipelined vs non-pipelined mode that we used to have but is much more generic way

This update futher improves matmul performance and at the same time removes most of the redudant logic
we had in different paths.

* hmx-fa: slighlty improved pipeline simimar to matmul updates

* hmx-mm: initial version of MAT_MUL_ID support for HMX

* hmx-mm: fixed mxfp4 handling for MUL_MAT_ID

* hexagon: update DCVS settings for a slight perf bump

* hmx-fa: use fastdiv in hmx-flash-attn

* hmx-fa: precompute slope values to avoid disrupting the inner loop

* hvx-utils/fa: new HVX helpers for powf and logf and using those to speed up FA alibi

* hex-ops: fixed a bug in fusion logic that was messing up the order of the src tensors when some srcs are empty

* hex-fa: correctly fallback to HVX if we have sinks or the dims are not quite right

* hmx-mm: use fastdiv in x4x2 dequant

* hmx-mm: sandwich dequant and scatter to improve perf

* hmx-mm: fixed rebase conflicts

* hmx-mm: further improve weight dequant by doing early type dispatch and precomputing fastdiv

* hmx-mm: an even earlier dispatch for per-type dequant

* hmx-mm: dequant linear types like q4_0 and q4_1 without the LUTs

This is a bit faster than LUT.

* hex-cmake: one more tweak for lto

aa50b2c2ae hexagon: add support for Q4_1 in MUL_MAT and MUL_MAT_ID (#23647)
* hex-mm: add support for Q4_1 matmul/matvec, hvx-only for now

* hmx-mm: add support for Q4_1

* hex-mm: use Q8_1 dynamic quantization to avoid having to compute sums in the vec_dot

* 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.

Max KrasnyanskyandGitHub ef66bfab68 hexagon: add support for CONCAT op (#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.

5594d13224 common: fix missing exports in llama-common (#22340)
* common: refactor common/debug to move abort_on_nan into base_callback_data

Passing bool abort_on_nan as template parameter for common_debug_cb_eval is unnecessary and creates an issue with LTO.
It should just be a member of the base_callback_data instead.

* cont : cleanup

* common : use pimpl in debug.h to reduce header dependencies

Move common_debug_cb_user_data's data members (std::regex,
std::vector<uint8_t>) into a private impl struct in debug.cpp.

This removes the includes of common.h and <regex> from debug.h,
reducing transitive dependencies for any translation unit that
includes the header.

* hex-opreq: update debug messages

* htp-opreq: reuse ops_context

* hex-opreq: do not flush or invalidate cache lines beyond buffer boundry

* hex-opreq: fix errors in log message

* Revert "hex-opreq: do not flush or invalidate cache lines beyond buffer boundry"

This reverts commit 8b7f0a55a750a6430ce4eb1874c7feb3d720056d.

* hexagon: limit l2 flushes to 1MB which covers l2 cache

* hex-opreq: limit cache flush to 4MB

Looks like 4MB cont. vitual space should cover the 1MB cache.

* hexagon: drop cache flush size to 2MB

* hex-opreq: start reworking opreq packing

* hex-opreq: introduce new way of packing opbatch where tensors are stored separately

* hex-opreq: add a simple fastrpc call to force unmap all buffers

* hex-l2flush: somehow 2MB does not seem robust, also cleanup step size to use line-size

* hex-opreq: bump opreq batch size to 256

* hex-mm: place src1 spad at the top of vtcm for easy reuse

* hex-ops: introduce internal types and disable src1 reuse for now

Nothing new just formalizing the repack / qyn.quant types we've been using.

* htp-opreq: use tensor pointers instead of copies

* hex-opreq: introduce more robust way for tracking vtcm/spad reuse

This removes the SKIP_QUANTIZE flag that became fragile with the addition of HMX and other ops.

* hex-cumsum: fix error post opreq merge

* hex-opreq: move request batch handling into the session

Prepping everything for using dspqueue buffers and doing that inside the session is much cleaner.

* hex-mm: yet another fix for src1 reuse when we're mixing hmx/hvx

* hex-bufs: introduce pinned mmapings and use non-pinned ones for model buffers

* hex-buf: add support for allocating shared/pinned buffer for opreqs

* hex-opbatch: make opbatches configurable

* hex-naming: better name for ggml_hexagon_shared_buffer

* hex-naming: add session->c_name() helper

* hex-opbatch: start using shm but still copy for now

* hex-opbatch: use shared buffer for packing opbatch

* hex-opbatch: beter naming for opbatch related classes and code

* hex-opbatch: reuse batched tensors with same data/dims/strides

* hex-opbatch: update logging

* hex-opbatch: add support for vmem limit for op batching

* hex-opbatch: update htp side to properly support dynamic mmap/unmap

* hex-opbatch: add OB and OQ params for run-completion script and fix the asserts in batch processing

* hex-opbatch: fixed src1 handling in act ops

* hex-act: fix empty src1 handling in swiglu and friends

Simplify preamble macro while at it

* hex-mm: minor fix vtcm and dma handling in matmul

cleaning up some left-overs from merges

* hex-opbatch: allocate extra 1KB for dspqueue overhead

* hexagon: fix softmax for non-aligned tensors and cleanup vtcm alloc

* hex-mm: properly handle hmx_disabled flag

* hex-ops: update comments

* hex-ops: add debug output for get/set-rows

* hex-mmap: optimize un/mapping of buffers

* hex-opreq: global cache flush and invalidate beyond 128KB threshold

* hex-ops: add super simple opfilter regex for debugging

If an Op matches the regex hex backend will reject it.

* hex-opbatch: wireup newer ops missed in merge and update main switch to detect this in future

* hexagon: improved vtcm acquision to remove inter-op overhead

Fully compatible with QNN-HTP coex

* hex-mm: fixed hvx fallback path

* hex-mm: lower the vmem threshold a bit further to ~3GB

* hexagon: update debug & error logs

This also fixes an issue with newer llvm merging repack and non-repack
functions. We use those pointer to distinguish between buffer types.

* hexagon: move ops context into main context

Just a cleanup. We don't need separate contexts at this point.

* hex-opbatch: cleanup naming and headers for opbatch and related descriptors

* hex-fa: it's now better to enable FA during TG to reduce graph splits

* hexagon: remove GGML_HEXAGON_EXPERIMENTAL env var

It's no longer useful. Please use more flexible GGML_HEXAGON_OPFILTER to disable Ops
if needed for debugging or validation.

* hexagon: fixed editorconfig check

* Update ggml/src/ggml-hexagon/ggml-hexagon.cpp

Max KrasnyanskyandGitHub f5d1c4179f hexagon: dma optimizations (mostly fixing regressions) (#21137)
* hex-fa: add simple dma cache for Mask

I noticed that we were refetch the mask rows over and over.
This simple cache avoids that.

* hex-dma: unset in-order desc bit which caused signficant perf regression

We don't rely on true in order processing of the DMA descriptors anywhere.
Turns out this mode caused significant regression of around 3-4 TPS during token gen.

* hex-rope: update comment to clarify that we don't need in-order DMA completions

* hex-dma: make chained dma the default to handle newer models

This also includes some new instrumentation that we can remove later.

* hexagon: add uint32 dump helper

* hexagon: use single-page VTCM allocation to avoid issues with large gather ops in ssm-conv

ssm-conv uses HVX gather instruction and that instruction cannot handle cases where the base+offset
spans page boundaries.

Max KrasnyanskyandGitHub 609ea50026 hexagon: Q4_0 and MXFP4 repack fixes (#20527)
* hexagon: fix tail corruption with rows sizes not multiple of 256

* hexagon: use different stride for repacking partial blocks

* hex-mm: update repack and kernels to avoid shuffles for full 256-element blocks

Previous commit changed the repacking to use even:odd (0:1,2:3,..) packing
instead of the original (0:128,1:129,...) packing in order to fix tail corruption.
Since the mm kernels already deal with partial tails we can use even:odd
packing only for the last block.
This avoid performance penalty of having to shuffle to zip the elements
in the common case.

* hex-mm: update rmpy x8 for better optimizations

* hex-mm: tighten supported MUL_MAT checks to avoid spurios failures

* hex-mm: use vzero to init accumulators

Factore out all hvx_copy functions into hvx-copy.h header and reduced code duplication.
Update HTP ops infra to support OP_CPY

* hexagon: cleanup and refactor hex/hvx/htp headers and helper libs

hex is basically all scalar/core platform stuff (L2, DMA, basic utils)
hvx is all hvx related utils, helpers, etc
htp is higher level stuff like Ops, etc

hvx-utils library got a nice round of cleanup and refactoring to reduce duplication

use hvx_vec_store_a where possible

* hexagon: refactor HVX sigmoid functions to hvx-sigmoid.h

Moved sigmoid and tanh vector functions from hvx-utils.h to a new header
hvx-sigmoid.h. Implemented aligned and unaligned variants for sigmoid
array processing using a macro pattern similar to hvx-copy.h. Updated

Added aligned (`_a`) and unaligned (`_u`) variants and used macros to unify logic.
Updated `softmax-ops.c` to use the new functions.

* hexagon: refactor the rest of arithmetic functions to hvx-arith.h

Moved `hvx_sum_of_squares_f32`, `hvx_min_scalar_f32`, and `hvx_clamp_scalar_f32` from `hvx-utils.c/h` to `hvx-arith.h`. Implemented aligned/unaligned variants (`_aa`, `_au`, etc.) and used macros to reduce code duplication. Updated `hvx_min_scalar_f32` and `hvx_clamp_scalar_f32` to use `dst, src, ..., n` argument order. Updated call sites in `act-ops.c`.

Refactor Hexagon HVX arithmetic functions (min, clamp) to hvx-arith.h

Moved `hvx_min_scalar_f32` and `hvx_clamp_scalar_f32` from `hvx-utils.c/h` to `hvx-arith.h`. Implemented aligned/unaligned variants (`_aa`, `_au`, etc.) and used macros to reduce code duplication. Updated these functions to use `dst, src, ..., n` argument order and updated call sites in `act-ops.c`. `hvx_sum_of_squares_f32` remains in `hvx-utils.c` as requested.

* hexagon: there is no need to ref/deref the buffers at this point

We're not going to release the buffers without flushing the session queue.
So there is no need to inc/dec the refcounts for every request.
We also don't need to include those bufs in the response.

* hexagon: bump the thread count in the adb wrapper scripts

We can use more CPU cores now that the dedicated dspqueue polling threads are not used (ie no contention).
Also enable more agressive polling for now since we still map Flash Attention (and a few other kernels) to
the CPU and those dspqueue threads were keeping the CPU cores are higher clock freqs.

This commit introduces a new experimental backend `ggml-hexagon` with support for the Hexagon NPU.

Highlights:
- Supports Hexagon versions: v73, v75, v79, and v81
- Targets Android devices based on Snapdragon SoCs: Gen3, 8-Elite, and 8-Elite Gen5
- Supports Q4_0, Q8_0, MXFP4, and FP32 data types
- Implements core LLM ops: MUL_MAT/MUL_MAT_ID, ADD/SUB/MUL/ADD_ID, RMS_NORM, ROPE, GLU/SWIGLU, SOFTMAX

**Note:** This backend is experimental and may exhibit instability or limited performance across supported devices.
It is intended for early testing and feedback from llama.cpp/ggml developer and user community.
