LocalAI [bot] 4ac67d255d feat: single-build ggml CPU_ALL_VARIANTS for llama-cpp + turboquant (x86/arm64/apple) (#10497)
* feat(llama-cpp): single x86 CPU build via ggml CPU_ALL_VARIANTS

Replace the per-microarch avx/avx2/avx512/fallback multi-binary build on
x86 with a single grpc-server plus the dlopen-able libggml-cpu-*.so set
that ggml's backend registry selects at runtime by probing host CPU
features. One build instead of four, broader microarch coverage (adds
alderlake AVX-VNNI, zen4 AVX512-BF16, sapphirerapids AMX), and the
shell-side /proc/cpuinfo probing in run.sh goes away.

Build/link notes:
- CPU_ALL_VARIANTS requires GGML_BACKEND_DL + BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON, so
  ggml/llama become shared objects. SHARED_LIBS is now a make variable
  (default OFF) so the override survives the recursive sub-make into the
  VARIANT build dir instead of being re-clobbered by the base flags.
- The cpu-all target also builds "--target ggml": the per-microarch
  backends are runtime-dlopened, not link deps, so they only compile via
  ggml's add_dependencies().
- hw_grpc_proto is pinned STATIC. Under BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON it would
  otherwise become a DSO referencing hidden-visibility symbols in the
  static libprotobuf.a, which fails to link ("hidden symbol ... is
  referenced by DSO"). Keeping it static links gRPC/protobuf into the
  executable while only ggml/llama stay shared, so no PIC or base-image
  change is required.
- package.sh bundles the libggml-*.so set into package/lib; ggml finds
  them by scanning the bundled ld.so directory (/proc/self/exe), which
  run.sh launches from.

Scope: x86 only. arm64/darwin keep the single fallback build. The
ik-llama-cpp / turboquant forks and the other ggml C++ backends are
unchanged; the same recipe applies but is out of scope here.

Validated with a full docker build plus a live inference smoke test:
the model loads, ggml selects the AVX512_BF16 variant on a Zen-class
host, and tokens generate correctly.

* feat(llama-cpp,turboquant): extend CPU_ALL_VARIANTS to arm64 + turboquant

- llama-cpp: x86 AND arm64 now use the single llama-cpp-cpu-all build
  (only hipblas keeps the fallback build). ggml's arm64 variant table
  (armv8.x / armv9.x, plus apple_m* on darwin) is selected at runtime.
- turboquant: same recipe via a turboquant-cpu-all target. turboquant
  copies backend/cpp/llama-cpp's CMakeLists.txt + Makefile per flavor, so
  the hw_grpc_proto STATIC fix and the SHARED_LIBS / EXTRA_CMAKE_ARGS
  make-vars are inherited; the target just passes SHARED_LIBS=ON, the DL
  flags and --target ggml through, then collects the .so set. run.sh and
  package.sh updated to ship/select turboquant-cpu-all.
- Makefile lib-collection find now also matches *.dylib (for the darwin
  build, which emits dylibs rather than .so).

ik-llama-cpp is intentionally left unchanged: its pinned ggml has no
CPU_ALL_VARIANTS support and its IQK kernels require AVX2, so the
per-microarch dynamic backend set does not apply.

Scope still excludes the darwin packaging wiring (separate change).

* feat(llama-cpp,turboquant): arm64 gcc-14 for SME variants + darwin cpu-all packaging

- arm64: ggml CPU_ALL_VARIANTS builds armv9.2 SME variants whose -march=...+sme
  is rejected by the Ubuntu 24.04 default gcc-13. Build the arm64 variants with
  gcc-14 (installed in the compile step). The host only selects a variant it
  actually supports at runtime, but every variant must still compile.
- darwin: scripts/build/llama-cpp-darwin.sh builds llama-cpp-cpu-all instead of
  the fallback binary, keeps Metal (GGML_METAL stays ON; --target ggml also builds
  ggml-metal). The per-microarch libggml-cpu-*.dylib are placed in the package
  root next to the binary (darwin has no bundled ld.so, so ggml's executable-dir
  scan looks there), while the other shared dylibs go in lib/ for DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.

* fix(llama-cpp-darwin): distribute ggml backends by suffix (.so root, .dylib lib)

ggml emits its loadable backends (per-microarch CPU variants, metal, blas) with a
.so suffix even on darwin, while the core libraries (ggml-base/ggml/llama/
llama-common/mtmd) use .dylib. Split the distribution by suffix: .so DL backends
go in the package root for ggml's executable-directory scan, .dylib core libs go
in lib/ for DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. The previous .dylib name-pattern matched none of the
variants.

Verified on an M4: ggml loads the apple_m4 CPU variant (SME=1) and Metal, model
loads and generates correct tokens.

* fix(llama-cpp,turboquant): only CPU_ALL_VARIANTS for pure-CPU builds, GPU uses fallback

The previous gate sent every non-hipblas build through llama-cpp-cpu-all, so the
GPU image builds (cublas, sycl_f16/f32, vulkan, nvidia l4t) compiled the whole CPU
microarch variant matrix on top of their already-huge GPU backend - blowing the
build time (the sycl job was only 59% done after 2h11m) - and the arm64 l4t build
failed at `apt-get install gcc-14` (exit 100) on the Jetson base.

Gate on an empty BUILD_TYPE instead: only the pure CPU image (build-type: '' in
.github/backend-matrix.yml) builds the CPU_ALL_VARIANTS set; every GPU build gets a
single fallback CPU grpc-server, since the accelerator does the compute. This also
confines the arm64 gcc-14 step (needed for the armv9.2 SME variants) to the CPU
build, away from the GPU base images.

* docs(llama-cpp): correct run.sh comment for arm64/darwin cpu-all

arm64 and darwin CPU images now also ship llama-cpp-cpu-all (not fallback-only);
only GPU images ship fallback-only. Fix the stale comment to match.
