* model: add support for extra bufs for all devices
* hexagon: add experimental ggml-hexagon backend for the Hexagon NPU
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.

* hexagon: fix format checker errors
* hexagon: update readme and cmake presets
* ci: add android-ndk-build jobs that build plain ARM64 and Snapdragon versions
* hexagon: add simple graph optimizer for stacking MUL_MAT ops with the same input
* hexagon: move ADB helper scripts into scripts/snapdragon/adb
* hexagon: replace all f/printfs with GGML_LOG_...
* readme: add hexagon to the list supported backends
* hexagon: stack malmuts with quantized inputs only
* hexagon: add TODO for fixing issues in hexagon_graph_optimize
* hexagon: update to hex-sdk 6.4.0 and add scripts for running on QDC
* scripts: fix lint errors
* scripts: update qdc pytest script to make linter happy
* hexagon: add reduce sum in fp32
* hexagon: reduce number of vector stores in matmul output
* hexagon: remove the need for vdelta in reduce-multiply-x8
* hexagon: consistent use of reduce_sum_fp32 for row_sums
* hexagon: some more matmul optimizations and comments
Optimize cases where tensor dims are not multiple of 1024 (e.g in Qwen models).
We've handled those cases already but at a higher overhead.
* hexagon: update cmake presets
* hexagon: add OPMASK support for run-bench.sh wrapper
* hexagon: update to use GGML_BACKEND_API
* hexagon: remove unused logic for setting tensor flags for the views
* hexagon: add asserts to set/get_tensor to make sure we handle complete tensors
Same asserts as the CPU backend.
* hexagon: use cpy_tensor slow path for non-host buffers
* hexagon: error checks in the buffer allocator
* cmake: move include(extProj) under ggml-hexagon
* hexagon: don't forget to delete the backend on free
* hexagon: set/get_tensor size assert apply only to quantized tensors
* hexagon: reintroduce HEX_VERBOSE wrapper for GGML_LOG_DEBUG for now
GGML_LOG_DEBUG is always enabled for test-backend-ops and the output gets in the way.
Ideally we need a bit more finer log levels.
* docs: typos in hexagon developer docs (libggm-...)
* hexagon: overhaul error handling in the session/device allocation
this should handle all failure paths in the session allocation.
* hexagon: update cmake presets to enable fp16 vectors
* hexagon: remove unused time_usec function
* hexagon: don't forget to release buffer contexts
* hexagon: fixed indents in hvx-utils (missed clang-format auto-format failure)
* hexagon: remove custom can_repeat function and use ggml_can_repeat

This commit reverts the change of the runs-on parameter for the
macOS-latest-cmake-x64 job back to macos-13 that was make in
Commit 51abc96bdc ("ci : update
macos-latest* jobs to use macos-latest (#15938)").
The motivation for this is that using macos-latest will cause an ARM
based runner to be used, and not an x64 based runner.
Refs: https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/15938#issuecomment-3300805127
This commit updates the runs-on field for the macOS arm64 webgpu build
job to use macos-latest instead of just latest.
The motivation for this is that this job can wait for a runner to pick
up the job for a very long time, sometimes over 7 hours. This is an
attempt to see if this change can help reduce the wait time.
Refs: https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/actions/runs/17754163447/job/50454257570?pr=16004
This commit updates the github workflows build.yml file to include steps
for uploading and downloading the xcframework artifact. The
macos-latest-swift job now depends on the ios-xcode-build job and
downloads the xcframework artifact produced by it.
The motivation for this changes is that it takes a long time to build
the xcframework and we are currently doing this twice in the workflow.
With this change, we only build it once and reuse the artifact.
* ci : update macos-latest* jobs to use macos-latest
This commit updates the jobs that are named macos-latest* to use the
macos-latest label instead explicit versions.
The motivation for this is that there is currently a mixuture of
versions in this workflow and there are jobs that are failing because
they require a newer version.

* ci : add xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS command
* build: fix the cache keys for Windows HIP release job
Update the cache keys to include the HIP SDK version, preventing the
use of outdated ROCm installation caches.
* build: sync changes from release.yml to build.yml
- Update HIP SDK version to 25.Q3 and ROCm version to 6.4.2
- Update the cache keys to reflect the new versions
* build: remove Windows HIP release for gfx1151
since the current stable rocWMMA does not support gfx1151.

* ci : try to add memory leaks check
ggml-ci
* ci : try to enable memory leak detection for Mac
* cont : seems to be working
This commit adds caching of the ROCm installation for the windows-latest-cmake-hip job.
The motivation for this is that the installation can sometimes hang and/or not complete properly leaving an invalid installation which later fails the build. By caching the installation hopefully we can keep a good installation available in the cache and avoid the installation step.
