Implement the Gated Delta Net recurrence on HVX with:
- 4-row fused kernels for PP (prompt processing) path
- 8-row fused kernels for TG (token generation) path, reducing
K/Q/gate vector reload overhead by 2x
- Separate PP/TG thread functions for I-cache isolation
- VTCM state scratchpad with DMA in/out for TG single-cycle access
- Vectorized gate exp via hvx_exp_f32

* cuda: fuse snake activation (mul, sin, sqr, mul, add)
Add ggml_cuda_op_snake_fused with F32 / F16 / BF16 templates. 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.
Add test_snake_fuse comparing CPU naive vs CUDA fused across
F32 / F16 / BF16.
* cuda: address review feedback from @am17an
Use ggml_cuda_cast for F32/F16/BF16 conversions and rename
kernel_snake to snake_kernel to match upstream conventions.

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.

* vulkan: Support asymmetric FA in coopmat2 path
There has been some recent interest/experimentation with mixed quantization
types for FA. I had originally designed the cm2 FA shader with this in mind
(because I didn't realize it wasn't supported at the time!), this change
adds the missing pieces and enables it.
Also support Q1_0 since people have been trying that out (seems crazy, but
who knows).
We should be able to do similar things in the coopmat1/scalar path, but
there's another change open against the scalar path and I don't want to
conflict.
* reorder cases
* Add mat-vec fast path of MUL_MAT_ID.
* Add shared accumulation vec logic and the other types supports.
* Add i-quant mat-mat for MUL_MAT_ID and fix some parts
* Remove n_experts from shader_lib_context.
* 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
