* ggml : add `alloc_buffer_n` to buffer type interface
Add alloc_buffer_n method to ggml_backend_buffer_type_i
interface, with a public API ggml_backend_buft_alloc_buffer_n.
- Default implementation in ggml-backend.cpp handles multi-buffer
splitting and tensor allocation via ggml_tallocr
- Meta buffer type provides custom implementation that creates
per-device sub-contexts and delegates to simple buffer types
- ggml_backend_alloc_ctx_tensors_from_buft now collects tensors
into a list and delegates to the new API
- Remove temporary ggml_backend_meta_alloc_ctx_tensors_from_buft
- Add NULL alloc_buffer_n to all existing buffer type
interfaces (cpu, metal, openvino, hexagon, webgpu, zdnn, virtgpu, repack)

* hexagon: shared strided DMA copy for CPY and CONCAT, any-dim CONCAT via DMA
* hex-cpy: various fixes on top of the concat optimizations
Removed CONCAT_DMA_MIN_ROW logic, it was broken with 64-bit DMA.
While it's kinda silly to use DMA for tiny stuff if that tensor gets mapped to an extended buffer the only way to read it is DMA.
Added missing dma_queue_flush() calls.
Added additional guards for conditions we don't support.

* cuda : route sm70 to the Turing MMVQ nwarps table
Volta (sm_70) has no MMVQ parameter table of its own and falls through
to GENERIC, which launches K-quant batch-1 decode (ncols_dst == 1) at
nwarps=4. sm_70 shares TURING's tuning: the K-quant vec_dot prefers
nwarps=2 there. Route sm_70 to the existing MMVQ_PARAMETERS_TURING
table in both the device and the host table selector.
Measured on one Tesla V100 32GB PCIe (PG500-216, driver 580.178.04,
CUDA 12.0.140) with Qwen3.8-27B Q4_K_M, tg128, interleaved A/B in 6
ABBA blocks with paired per-block deltas: +1.091 t/s = +3.17 %
(t = +49.0, all six per-block deltas positive); perplexity
bit-identical (6.3697 +/- 0.04066 both builds, wiki.test.raw). The
patched build's K-quant mul_mat_vec_q kernels launch at nwarps=2
(cubin EIATTR_MAX_THREADS) while Q4_0/Q8_0 stay at nwarps=4, and the
same measurement on the September master base gave +3.84 % (t = 85).
The tuning originates from the V100-focused fork anyei/llamacpp-v100
(MIT), commit b912d1b1e, which carries a dedicated
MMVQ_PARAMETERS_VOLTA table; a cubin-level comparison confirmed that
routing sm_70 to the existing TURING table is equivalent for the
K-quant batch-1 path this change affects, so this is the minimal
2-line form. https://github.com/anyei/llamacpp-v100/commit/b912d1b1e

dequantize_block_iq4_nl writes QK_K values per block, but a row can be shorter than that (an IQ4_NL row is only guaranteed to be a multiple of QK4_NL). Threads whose 32-value sub-block starts at or past k currently read and write past the end of the row. Skip those sub-blocks; for rows that are a multiple of QK_K the check never fires.

* ggml : add BF16 unary, GLU, binary and scale ops (CPU, CUDA)

* CUDA: use ggml_cuda_cast in binbcast and unary kernels to fix the HIP bf16 build
* ggml-openvino : reject BF16 SCALE and mixed-type BF16 ADD/MUL/SUB
* cpu: accept BF16 in src1 of mul_mat
ggml_conv_1d_dw builds its im2col in F32 when the kernel is BF16, then
calls ggml_mul_mat(im2col, kernel), which puts F32 in src0 and BF16 in
src1. The CPU backend refused that combination, so it was reported as
unsupported on every backend and never compared against anything.
Widen BF16 into the F32 work buffer, next to the existing packing of F32
into vec_dot_type. This is the arithmetic the Metal mat vec kernel
already uses, both operands promoted to float and accumulated in float,
so the two agree exactly rather than approximately.
Cover it with a conv_1d_dw test over F32, F16 and BF16 kernels, plus
three mul_mat cases with BF16 in src1.
* vulkan: reject BF16 in src1 of mul_mat unless src0 is BF16
supports_op only checked the src1 type for non contiguous tensors, so
a contiguous BF16 src1 was accepted and the pipeline lookup asserted.
The only BF16 src1 path is the BF16 x BF16 multiply, every other src0
type now reports the op as unsupported and the scheduler keeps it on
the CPU.
The BF16 kernel case of the conv_1d_dw test needs the f32 x bf16
mat vec variants of the Metal backend, which land separately.
* openvino: serve GET_ROWS on a weight view from the base Constant
Resolve view_src when collecting weight Constants so a view over a
quantized weight no longer becomes a dynamic typed Parameter, and fold
the row offset of the view into the gather indices instead of slicing
the dequantization subgraph.
* openvino: lift the quantized GET_ROWS view rejection
The supports_op rejection of a quantized src0 view with a nonzero
offset keeps the vs0 GET_ROWS cases of #28253 away from OpenVINO.
The weight view now resolves to the base Constant with the row offset
folded into the gather indices, so the rejection goes away.
The MUSA vendor header never defined __CUDA_ARCH__, so every architecture
test in the shared ggml-cuda sources evaluated to 0. Kernel bodies gated on
the architecture therefore compiled to nothing, for example the q8_0 -> f16
dequantization kernel in convert.cu, whose NO_DEVICE_CODE fallback expands to
an empty body in host code.
Report the newest architecture like the HIP backend does and exclude the
NVIDIA-only features explicitly, as they are not usable on MUSA. Define it
for device passes only: CUB uses defined(__CUDA_ARCH__) to detect device
compilation, which is also how nvcc behaves.
Drop the now-redundant defined(__CUDA_ARCH__) checks in the architecture
comparisons: __CUDA_ARCH__ is undefined in host passes for CUDA and MUSA, and
HIP defines it for every pass, so both forms select the same branch.
* hexagon: add F16 support for activation ops (SILU/GELU/GELU_QUICK/GEGLU/SWIGLU)
Widens ggml_hexagon_supported_activations() to accept F16 (src0/dst/src1
must agree on type), and adds F16 per-thread worker functions in
act-ops.c mirroring the existing F32 workers, backed by new HVX f16
kernels (hvx_sigmoid_f16_aa, hvx_tanh_f16_aa, hvx_mul_mul_f16_aa,
hvx_min_scalar_f16 family).
SILU, GELU, GELU_QUICK, GEGLU, and SWIGLU are verified correct on-device
(QRD8850) via test-backend-ops CPU-diffed correctness tests. SWIGLU_OAI's
F16 path is code-complete and builds clean on host + all 4 DSP arch
variants (v73/v75/v79/v81), but has no F16 test-case coverage in
test-backend-ops and is therefore unverified on-device in this change.

GGML_PAD(nbytes, alignment) wraps to 0 when nbytes is within
(alignment - 1) of SIZE_MAX, which silently bypassed the size
overflow guard in gguf_init_from_reader. Reject the tensor before
padding when nbytes + (alignment - 1) would overflow.
Adds a test-gguf handcrafted case (F32, ne = [4, 2^30-1, 2^30+1, 1])
whose ggml_nbytes = 2^64 - 16 lands in the wrap window. Fails on
master, passes with the guard.
* hex-concat: reduce pkts in gather/transpose hot loop
gather directly into dst buffer, use special instruction for gather sync
* hex-concat: use fastdiv
replace calls to sw divide with fastpath
* hex-concat: optimize DMA-HVX pipeline and add transpose helpers
Without CUB (HIP, MUSA) argsort ran the bitonic kernel with one thread
per padded column, so any row above 1024 entries launched an invalid
block configuration. Each thread now owns several columns, every stage
of the network runs all owned columns before the barrier, and the block
is capped at 1024 threads. Shared memory becomes the only bound, which
supports_op checks against the device instead of a fixed 1024.
Rows up to 1024 run the same work as before. Bit-exact with the CUB
path on rows of 2048.
It turns out Intel doesn't particularly like loading F32s one at a
time and we already have the _2aliagned load logic in mul_mat_vec,
so here we use it.
While we do already check all the requirements to load elements 4
at a time across [B]F16 and F32, it turns out [B]F16 loading 4 at a
time is sometimes slower on very specific shapes on Intel BMG.
Loading 4 at a time is a bit faster on F32, but its not material
and I assume might be slower on other platforms.
Note that we also need to validate `a_offset` is 2-aligned in
`mul_mat_vec.comp`, which was missing in the original 2-way-load
patch.
Some selected speedups from `test-backend-ops perf` on a B60.

mut_mul_id selected its matmul tile with total token count.
For MoE dispatch grid the true N per workgroup is per-expert rows.
At pp128 on Sarvam 30B that is 6, not 128, so the picker took the l-tile for ~6 live rows.
Most workers in each group had nothing to do.
This wasted time. The slow part was 55% of the whole job.
