Q4_0 gets dequantized and tiled into F16, and here we quantize and tile F32 into F16.

* 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.

* 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

* hmx: extract shared interleave headers and unify matmul batched
* hmx: add HMX-accelerated flash attention for prefill
* hmx: replace asm wrappers with Q6_ intrinsics in hmx-utils.h
Switches three single-instruction helpers from inline asm to the matching
Q6_ intrinsics, matching the style established by aizip f8737609a and used
by the upstream PR #21554 hmx-matmul-ops.c rewrite:
hmx_set_output_scales asm "bias=mxmem2" -> Q6_bias_mxmem2_A
hmx_load_tile_pair_fp16 asm packet -> Q6_activation_hf_mxmem_RR
+ Q6_weight_hf_mxmem_RR
hmx_consume_accumulator_fp16 asm "mxmem=acc" -> Q6_mxmem_AR_after_hf
hmx_load_tiles_fp16 stays on inline asm: it uses ":deep" activation
streaming, and the mixed Q6_activation_hf_mxmem_RR_deep + non-deep
Q6_weight_hf_mxmem_RR pair fails the HMX backend constraint check
("activate weight pair (1) exceeds limit (1)"). The asm bundle keeps
both halves in one VLIW packet and avoids the diagnostic.
Functionally equivalent — same instructions emitted; the Q6_ intrinsics
just give the compiler more visibility for scheduling.
* hmx: drop the duplicate interleave_fp16_weight_chunk_to_tiles
* hmx: apply upstream optimization to hmx-flash-attn-ops.c
apply restrict, __builtin_assume, and pointer accumulation to the three HMX workers (qk_dot, o_update, o_norm) and the matching inline HMX loops in op_hmx_flash_attn_ext.
* hmx: unify interleave helper
* hmx: multi-thread Q load / O store and enable prefill FA dispatch
Extract inline Q-load and O-store loops into worker_pool-parallel helpers
(fa_phase_q_load, fa_phase_o_store) so HVX threads split the F32↔F16
conversion work across row ranges. Also relax the softmax threading
gate from n_row_vec_cnt >= n_threads to >= 2, which was unnecessarily
forcing single-thread fallback when n_rows_g < 512.
On the dispatch side, remove the ne[2] != 1 guard that blocked multi-head
(prefill) FA from reaching the HTP backend — GQA is already handled
internally by both the HMX and HVX flash-attention paths.
* hmx: relax matmul pipeline gate to cover k > n shapes (e.g. FFN_down)
* hmx: optimize FA softmax mask phase (no-ALiBi fast path + GQA dedup)
* hmx: Add an asm memory clobber at the phase boundary to prevent reorder bug
* [experimental]: fp16 softmax (EXP2_HF) to accelerate fa
Bake log2(e) into qk_scale and use hvx_exp2_hf directly for P and m_diff
(base-2 consistent, matches htp-ops-lib). ~22 ALU ops for 64 lanes vs
~44 for the F32 round-trip path.
* hmx flash-attn: refine cost model coefficients based on profiling data
* hmx flash-attn: replace asm clobber with targeted volatile reads on vtcm_d_tiles
* hmx flash-attn: fix prefill correctness (dst indexing, softmax reduce, V stride)
* hmx flash-attn: fix p_tiles dual-tile OOB race; enable MT + pipeline
* hmx flash-attn: preserve additive mask bias in no-ALiBi fast path
The no-ALiBi fast path (max_bias==0) was skipping mask add entirely on
the assumption that mask values are only {0, -inf}. This is wrong when
the mask carries additive positional bias — those terms were silently
dropped. Keep the slope-mul skip (slope≡1.0) but add mask back so the
bias survives; vmux still clamps below -16 to -inf.
Also add HMX FA coverage to test-backend-ops: prefill shapes (nb=64,
nb=32) × {mask on/off} × {ALiBi on/off} × {softcap on/off}, F16 KV,
hs ∈ {64, 128}.
* hmx: fix softcap+EXP2_HF interaction, tighten matmul pipeline gate, add FA tests
- flash-attn: when EXP2_HF is on AND logit_softcap is active, fold
log2(e) into the post-tanh multiplier (v_cap) instead of pre-baking
it into qk_scale. Pre-baking shifted the tanh knee from x≈c to
x≈c/log2(e) and produced numerically wrong softcapped outputs
whenever both knobs were enabled.
- flash-attn softmax (fa_softmax_thread): replace the union+memcpy
scalar extract pattern with HVX vmux-based per-row accumulators on
rowmax/rowsum. Add hvx_vec_get_f16 helper in hvx-base.h. Functional
parity, less scalar code, clearer hf/qf16 lane-format contract.
- matmul (hmx_mat_mul_permuted_qk_0_d16a32): pick pipeline vs sequential
layout based on whether the chunker actually yields >=2 n-chunks,
instead of the static (m>=128 && n>=256) gate. Avoids paying for
output double-buffer + worker dispatch when there is no HMX/HVX
overlap to gain (e.g. shapes that collapse to one n-chunk).
- tests: add HMX flash-attention coverage over the
{mask, ALiBi (max_bias), logit_softcap} cross-product for the prefill
path — head_dim 64/128, GQA 4×4, kv=512/nb=64 plus a kv=113/nb=32
non-aligned case.
* [Help Wanted]: refactor D matrix computation into separate function for clarity and maintainability
* format code
* hexagon: looks like -O3 is causing issues with the large code base, switch to -O2 and -flto instead
* hexagon: use hex_ prefix for swap_ptr
* hexagon: move vtcm_seq_alloc into vtcm-utils.h
More vtcm allocator updates are coming so it makes sense to start the separate hdr for it.
* hmx-utils: add hmx_prefix for layout converters
* hmx-mm: move main hmx_mm functions to the end, remove unused fwd decls, etc
* hmx-mm: remove unused qweight_fetch_task_state_t and minor alignment fixes
* hmx-fa: minor alignment fixes
* hmx-fa: move hmx_flash_atten into hmx-ops.h
* hmx-fa: remove redundant workpool pointer in the hmx_fa_ctx, plus minor alignment updates
* hmx-fa: minor alignment and simplifications
* hexagon: move FA_EXP_F16 option to hostside CMake file
* hmx-fa: use hvx_vec_splat_f16 instead of fp16_to_bits
* hmx-fa: add hvx_splat_u16/u8 and use that in the fa instead custom hvx_fill
* hmx-fa: some more alignment updates in the core fa function
* hmx-fa: keep slopes in vtcm in fp16
Saves malloc/free and removes the need for float -> fp16 downcast on every use.
* hexagon: consistent noinline usage (after static)
* hex-hmx: consistent use FARF_HIGH to enable debug output
* hmx-utils: no need for always_inline attr
* hex-hmx: consistent noinline usage (static noinline ...)
* hex-hmx: simplify init_col_scales
* hexagon: fix editorconfig errors
* hmx-mm: minor alignment fixes

* hexagon: allow host to set max vmem size
We use a sane default but it's helpful to allow for an override if needed.
* hexagon: add support for measuring vmem space and move pinned mmaping management to host
* hexagon: update vmem checks to use uint64
* hexagon: bump op buffers to 16 (matches max mmaps)
* hexagon: bump default vmem to 3.2GB
* hexagon: add support for autodetecting vmem space and some logging cleanup in that area
* hexagon: fix whitespace warnings
* Update scripts/snapdragon/adb/run-cli.sh

* hexagon: restore HTP_OPMASK_QUEUE
* hexagon: honor OPMASK_SKIP_COMPUTE in hmx-matmul
* hex-prof: restore op profiling
* hex-prof: enable PMU
* hexagon: simplify and improve op-queuing with full profiling support
Add separate profile descriptors.
* hexagon: remove opsync and rename opmask into opstage
opsync is no longer needed since the profiler is fully async now.
opmask name was confusing and opstage is more accurate.
* hexagon: refactor opbatch queue handling
* hexagon: add iface hooks for enabling profiler from the host
Also move all the PMU setup stuff out of the hex-utils since it's not inteded for normal use.
* hexagon: make profiler mode configurable
On older devices getting PMU counters is expensive so it's now optional.
* hexagon: add support for setting profiler pmu events from env
* hexagon: simplify profiler output (no need to print buffs, etc)
* hexagon: simplify pmu counter formating
* hexagon: add a simple profile post-proc tool
* hex-prof: add support for reading logs from stdin
* hexagon: document GGML_HEXAGON_PROFILE
* hex-prof: update default width for dims field
* hex-prof: fix linter warnings and errors
* Update ggml/src/ggml-hexagon/htp/htp-ops.h
