vulkan: support type-aligned GET_ROWS (#28253)
* vulkan: fall back to CPU for GET_ROWS with misaligned offsets

The Vulkan GET_ROWS shader asserts when a tensor's backing-buffer offset
plus view_offs is misaligned w.r.t. minStorageBufferOffsetAlignment
(see init_pushconst_tensor_offsets). Previously this caused a hard crash
on models using ggml_view + ggml_get_rows (e.g. Qwen3-TTS, Qwen3-VL).

Return false from supports_op() in the misaligned case so the scheduler
falls back to CPU, matching the existing pattern for PAD_REFLECT_1D and
other unsupported op/shape combinations.

Repro: llama-tts -m Qwen3-TTS-*.gguf -mm mmproj-*.gguf -ngl 99
Crash: GGML_ASSERT(dst->op != GGML_OP_GET_ROWS || (a_offset == 0 && ...)) failed

* vulkan: trim comment for GET_ROWS misalign fallback

* vulkan: fix file corruption in gated_linear_attn struct

* vulkan: properly handle misaligned offsets in GET_ROWS quantized path

- get_rows_quant.comp was missing get_aoffset()/get_boffset()/get_doffset()
  calls that are already present in get_rows.comp, causing GGML_ASSERT crashes
  when GET_ROWS operates on views with non-zero view_offs, as produced by
  KV cache slices in Qwen3-TTS and Qwen3-VL.
- Remove the defensive misalignment GGML_ASSERT in init_pushconst_tensor_offsets
  for the binary push-constants specialization, since both get_rows.comp and
  get_rows_quant.comp now correctly apply per-tensor base offsets.
- Remove the workaround CPU fallback in supports_op() for GET_ROWS, since the
  Vulkan backend now handles misaligned offsets natively (no more bailout).
- Add backend test coverage with view_src0=true (ggml_view_4d into a padded
  tensor) for F32, F16, Q4_0, Q4_K, Q8_0, and I32 types, exercising both the
  non-quantized (get_rows.comp) and quantized (get_rows_quant.comp) paths
  with non-zero view_offs that reproduce the original Qwen3-TTS crash.

* tests: trim redundant comments in test_get_rows vs0 region

* vulkan: bind tensor base for binary ops, pass full view_offs via push constants

For ops using vk_op_binary_push_constants (GET_ROWS, ADD, SUB, MUL, etc.),
bind the view_src base and pass the full view_offs divided by type_size via
push constant misalign_offsets. This avoids truncation when misalign_bytes is
not a multiple of quantized block size.

ggml_vk_tensor_subbuffer gains a use_view_offs parameter. When false, the
binding points to vk_tensor_offset (base) and size includes view_offs.
init_pushconst_tensor_offsets<binary> computes a/b/d_offset directly from
tensor->view_offs, which is always row-aligned and therefore exact.

Added non-zero view offset (offset_rows=3) backend tests for GET_ROWS across
all_types with be1={1,7}, v={false,true}, skipping gradient setup for view
tensors (GGML_OP_VIEW fails ggml_set_param).

All 223 GET_ROWS tests pass on Vulkan (NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti).

* vulkan: bind aligned offset for binary ops, pass adjusted misalign via push constants

For ops using vk_op_binary_push_constants (GET_ROWS, ADD, SUB, etc.), bind
the buffer to an aligned position near the view offset (not the tensor base)
and pass the adjusted misalignment via push constants.

ggml_vk_get_adjusted_misalign finds the smallest misalign that is both a
multiple of minStorageBufferOffsetAlignment and type_size, ensuring
misalign/type_size is exact (no truncation for quantized block types).

ggml_vk_tensor_subbuffer gains use_view_offs parameter. When false, binds
to (target - adjusted_misalign) instead of the view_src base, keeping the
offset small enough for 16-bit/8-bit push constant fields.

Added non-zero view offset (offset_rows=3) backend tests for GET_ROWS across
all_types with be1={1,7}, v={false,true}, skipping gradient setup for view
tensors (GGML_OP_VIEW fails ggml_set_param).

All 223 GET_ROWS tests pass on Vulkan (NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti).

* vulkan: bind aligned offset for binary ops, fix UMA offset mismatch

For ops using vk_op_binary_push_constants (GET_ROWS, ADD, SUB, etc.), bind
the buffer to an aligned position near the view offset (not the tensor base)
and pass the adjusted misalignment via push constants.

Added ggml_vk_tensor_physical_offset to unify physical offset lookup across
UMA and non-UMA devices. On UMA, resolves via ggml_vk_host_get(tensor->data);
otherwise uses vk_tensor_offset(t) + t->view_offs. Both get_misalign_bytes and
the new ggml_vk_get_adjusted_misalign helper build on top of this function,
so buffer bindings and push constant offsets are always consistent regardless
of device memory model.

ggml_vk_get_adjusted_misalign finds the smallest misalign that is both a
multiple of minStorageBufferOffsetAlignment and type_size, ensuring
misalign/type_size is exact (no truncation for quantized block types) while
remaining small enough for 16-bit/8-bit push constant fields
(adjusted_misalign < lcm(align, type_size)).

ggml_vk_tensor_subbuffer gains use_view_offs parameter. When false, binds
to (physical_offset - adjusted_misalign) on both UMA and discrete GPUs,
fixing a bug where the UMA host_get path previously skipped the adjusted
misalign binding and returned the target offset directly.

Added non-zero view offset (offset_rows=3) backend tests for GET_ROWS across
all_types with be1={1,7}, v={false,true}, skipping gradient setup for view
tensors (GGML_OP_VIEW fails ggml_set_param).

All 223 GET_ROWS tests pass on Vulkan (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti).

* finish misalignment fix

* supports_op changes for openvino/webgpu

Quick start

A few options to get llama.cpp installed on your machine:

Once installed:

# Download and run a model directly from Hugging Face
llama cli -hf ggml-org/Qwen3.5-0.8B-GGUF

# Launch OpenAI-compatible API server
llama serve -hf ggml-org/Qwen3.5-0.8B-GGUF

Description

The main goal of llama.cpp is to enable LLM (and VLM) inference with minimal setup and state-of-the-art performance on a wide range of hardware - locally and in the cloud.

  • Plain C/C++ implementation without any dependencies
  • Apple silicon is a first-class citizen - optimized via ARM NEON, Accelerate and Metal frameworks
  • AVX, AVX2, AVX512 and AMX support for x86 architectures
  • RVV, ZVFH, ZFH, ZICBOP and ZIHINTPAUSE support for RISC-V architectures
  • 1.5-bit, 2-bit, 3-bit, 4-bit, 5-bit, 6-bit, and 8-bit integer quantization for faster inference and reduced memory use
  • Custom CUDA kernels for running LLMs on NVIDIA GPUs (support for AMD GPUs via HIP and Moore Threads GPUs via MUSA)
  • Vulkan and SYCL backend support
  • CPU+GPU hybrid inference to partially accelerate models larger than the total VRAM capacity

The llama.cpp project is build on top of the ggml library.
