Export register_host_buffer/unregister via the backend reg so the existing
GGML_CUDA_REGISTER_HOST path in llama-model-loader pins mmap'd expert
weights on Vulkan. Imports host pages through VK_EXT_external_memory_host
into device->pinned_memory, letting the existing pinned fast path in
ggml_vk_buffer_write_2d_async DMA straight from system RAM instead of
bouncing through the staging buffer + blocking host memcpy.
A single Vulkan buffer cannot cover a multi-GB mmap (capped at
device->max_buffer_size), so the region is imported in page-aligned
chunks; a bound check makes tensors straddling a chunk boundary fall back
to staging instead of reading out of bounds. Opt-in via
GGML_CUDA_REGISTER_HOST=1 or GGML_VK_REGISTER_HOST=1, no-op otherwise.

* vulkan: Support Q2_0
The backend perf tests for mat-vec-mul weren't very good at first (worse than
q2_k), doubling the rows per workgroup made a big difference.
* reorder
* resolve merge conflict, adjust err threshold for f16->q2_0 set_rows
* vulkan/cpu: Support f16 as SET_ROWS src.
This adds full support for f16 SET_ROWS (equivalent to f32) to vulkan and CPU
backends, and adds more backend tests.
* Set DenormPreserve 16 when supported, to try to fix failures on Intel
* tune error threshold
* update metal supports_op
This uses the new VK_EXT_shader_ocp_microscaling_types extension to do fp4 type
promotions, and also uses the float8 extension to do ue4m3 promotions for
nvfp4. It's reasonable to assume that an implementation that supports fp4 will
also support fp8, so we don't need to handle all possible combinations of
support.
* [Vulkan] Fixes llama-cli breaking over longer promts sizes
The llama-cli was breaking for longer promts sizes for q4_0 quantized networks. Causing due to insufficient shared memory.
* Removed the un-used Adreno device
* Updated matmul for small pipeline.
* vulkan : check src0 type in GGML_OP_SET_ROWS to avoid failures due to unimplemented f16 support
* chore : get rid of else

* vulkan: col2im_1d return nullptr for unsupported types, address review from @0cc4m
* vulkan: support non-contig unary/glu ops
Change unary/glu ops to pass in all strides and use fastdiv for the index
calculation. Put all unary ops in one file, similar to glu, to share the
code. codex went ahead and added expm1 without me asking, but I had to
make it do a real precision analysis rather than just making stuff up.
unary.comp initially couldn't use generic_unary_head because there wasn't
space for xielu's additional constants. Fixing this required packing the
fastdiv 'L' values.
* attempt to workaround compiler bug
* resolve conflict from #23991
* use expm1
* Make ggml_gated_delta_net take only the initial recurrent state (D, 1, n_seqs) and passes the snapshot count K as an op parameter instead of inferring it from state->ne[1].
Remove the padding hack and copy all emitted snapshots into the recurrent cache with a single strided ggml_cpy
* Make GDN changes in all backends. Address review comments.
* Fix CI build errors
* vulkan: add support for valve fp16 dot2 extension
* use macro for dot2 path choice
* properly check for the feature
* add dot_product abstraction to reduce preprocessor branching
This allows vec4 loads of the B elements. Also increase BK to 64 when this is
enabled. Neither of these alone is consistently faster, but together these give
a nice speedup.
In ggml-vulkan.cpp, we need to make sure the B matrix alignment and stride are
multiples of 4.
* vulkan: add fwht support for Intel with shmem reduction
* don't use N as workgroup size
* disable subgroup shuffle on MoltenVK AMD
* disable fwht shader on Intel Windows due to driver bug
* vulkan: don't hold the device mutex while compiling pipelines
We need to hold a lock while we traverse all pipelines and lazily initialize
them, but we don't need to hold it while the pipeline is being compiled. And
it doesn't need to be the same lock as the device mutex. We call load_shaders
each time a pipeline is needed, so we only need to compile that one pipeline
(and, for example, don't want to end up compiling a pipeline that another
thread should be compiling).
* remove 'needed'
Q2_K/Q3_K/Q6_K do much better when using MMVQ on Intel BMG even
though they're only 2-byte aligned, and Q3_K still wins on
NVIDIA as well.
mesa isn't all that great at coalescing back-to-back loads from
alternating arrays, so we force it instead. Further, we can do
subtraction directly on a full int32_t rather than an i8vec4
with bit twiddling because the high bit is always free to start.
On Intel BMG on mesa, the switch to MMVQ provides an immediate
~57% perf increase in tg128 for unsloth/Qwen3.5-9B-GGUF:Q3_K and
~78% perf increase in tg128 for unsloth/Qwen3.5-9B-GGUF:Q6_K.
The futher switch to block loads leads to a ~24% perf increase in
tg128 for unsloth/Qwen3.5-9B-GGUF:Q3_K and a ~48% perf increase in
tg128 for unsloth/Qwen3.5-9B-GGUF:Q6_K.
Finally, Xe2 wins on MMVQ even for small k, so we take the NVIDIA
override for K quants on Xe2 as well.

* 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.
