Replace GGML_ABORT("fatal error") in ggml_metal_synchronize() with
error flag + return. This aligns synchronize error handling with
graph_compute, which already returns GGML_STATUS_FAILED for the same
condition.
When a command buffer fails (e.g., iOS GPU access revocation during
backgrounding, macOS eGPU disconnect, OOM), the backend enters an
error state instead of killing the host process. Subsequent
graph_compute calls return GGML_STATUS_FAILED immediately. Recovery
requires recreating the backend.
Failed extra command buffers are properly released on the error path
to avoid Metal object leaks.
Enable mul_mv_ext small-batch kernels (BS 2-8) for BF16, Q2_K,
and Q3_K quantization types. These types previously fell through
to the slower single-row mul_mv path.
BF16 uses the float4 dequantize path (like F16). Q2_K and Q3_K
use the float4x4 K-quant path (like Q4_K/Q5_K/Q6_K).

This patch addresses an Internal Compiler Error (Segmentation fault)
observed with gcc 15 by replacing the intrinsic + cast by doing
a cat on the data first and then calling the intrinsic. This bypasses the
buggy compiler path while maintaining identical instruction selection.
Performance Verification:
Assembly analysis on RHEL 9 (GCC 15.1.1) confirms that both the original
code and this fix generate the identical Power10 prefixed load instruction:
`plxv 40, 2(14)`
This ensures zero performance regression while unblocking builds on
newer toolchains.
Reproduced on:
- Alpine Linux + GCC 15.2.0-r2
- RHEL 9 + GCC 15.1.1 (gcc-toolset-15)

* Relax requirement of checks in async CUDA copies from backend and buffer type to just buffer type, to avoid linking issues
* Minor cleanup
* Makes opt-in to relax use of explicit syncs more general. Backends like
vulkan which require a synchronization between HtoD copies and graph
execution could also adopt this change now.
* Reintroduces stricter check for CPU->CUDA backend async copy via
GGML_DEVICE_TYPE_CPU.

2D workgroup dispatch can over-dispatch when total workgroups don't
divide evenly into the 65535 per-dimension limit. Extra workgroups
would compute invalid batch indices, causing memory corruption.

* ggml-virtgpu-backend: validate the consistency of the received objects
This patch adds consistency checks in the
ggml-virtgpu-backend (running on the host side) to ensure that the
data received from the guest is consistent (valid pointers, valid
sizes and offsets).
* ggml-virtgpu-backend: add fallback/skips for optional ggml backend methods
```
1. bck->iface.synchronize(bck)
2. buft->iface.get_alloc_size(buft, op)
3. buft->iface.get_max_size(buft)
```
these three methods are optional in the GGML interface. `get_max_size`
was already properly defaulted, but `backend sychronize` and `butf
get_max_size` would have segfaulted the backend if not implemented.

* Improve CUDA graph capture
Currently, CUDA graphs are eagerly enabled on the first call to ggml_backend_cuda_graph_compute. If the graph properties keep changing (4+ consecutive updates), the graph is permanently disabled. This is suboptimal because:
- The first call always incurs CUDA graph capture overhead even if the graph is unstable
- Once permanently disabled, CUDA graphs never re-enable even after the graph stabilizes (e.g., switching from prompt processing to decode)
The new approach delays CUDA graph activation until warmup completes: the same cgraph must be called at least twice with matching properties before CUDA graph capture begins. This avoids wasted capture overhead on volatile graphs and allows graphs to become eligible once they stabilize.
This also fixes issues such as https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/discussions/19708

When LTO enabled in build environments it forces all builds to have LTO
in place. But feature detection logic is fragile, and causing Illegal
instruction errors with lto. This disables LTO for the feature
detection code to prevent cross-module optimization from inlining
architecture-specific instructions into the score function. Without this,
LTO can cause SIGILL when loading backends on older CPUs (e.g., loading
power10 backend on power9 crashes before feature check runs).
Avoids issues with ROCm 6.4.4.

* cuda: optimize iq2xxs/iq2xs/iq3xxs dequantization
- load all 8 int8 for a grid position in one load
- calculate signs via popcnt instead of fetching from ksigns table
- broadcast signs to drop individual shift/mask
* cuda: iq2xxs: simplify sum scaling
express `(sum * scale + sum / 2) / 4` as `(sum * (scale * 2 + 1)) / 8`
express `((aux32 >> 28) * 2 + 1)` as `(aux32 >> 27 | 1)`
saves 3 registers for mul_mat_vec_q (152 -> 149) according to nsight
AFAICT no overflow can occur here as iq2xxs values are far too small

This commit addresses a build issue with the KleidiAI backend when
building multiple cpu backends. Commmit
3a00c98584e42a20675b6569d81beadb282b0952 ("cmake : fix KleidiAI install
target failure with EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL") introduced a change where
FetchContent_Populate is called instead of FetchContent_MakeAvailable,
where the latter does handle this case (it is idempotent but
FetchContent_Populate is not).
I missed this during my review and I should not have commited without
verifying the CI failure, sorry about that.
* ggml-cpu: FA add GEMM microkernel
* add guard for sizeless vector types

* simd_gemm: convert everything to int
* convert everything to size_t to avoid warnings

* cmake: fix KleidiAI install target failure with EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL
Fix for the bug #19501 by adding EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL to FetchContent_Declare. This properly excludes KleidiAI from both build and install targets, preventing install failures when GGML_CPU_KLEIDIAI=ON is used.
The KleidiAI source files are still compiled into libggml-cpu.so, preserving all functionality.

last_graph is only available without OpenMP, but
ggml_graph_compute_thread() is called in both cases.
