Previous versions of the runner would truncate inputs to the context
window before beginning processing. The main processing loop relied
on this behavior if the context needed to be shifted later (due to
token generation). If truncation did not occur then invariants
would be broken, causing crashes or infinite loops.

Later versions attempted to fix these bugs and make the logic less
subtle so that all inputs could be handled. Truncation was removed
to make things consistent.

However, truncation is much faster than processing and shifting, so
removing it caused performance problems when the input vastly exceeded
the context size. This restores the input truncation as a performance
optimization while keeping the more robust processing logic.

Fixes #7762

We need to track which tokens are in the cache ourselves. We currently
add tokens to the cache tracker when we add them to batch but they are
not actually in the cache until we call Decode. This can cause
confusion when we are shifting the cache.

Avoids "could not find a KV slot for the batch" issues.

Bug #7545

We try to recover from errors by dropping the tokens that caused the
problem and re-trying. However, dropping the tokens is not correct
and continuing often leads to infinite loops. To avoid, this we
end the sequence if such a condition is detected, which is also
surprising.

At this point, it is better to just report the error. This will make
it easier to find problems and the alternatives are perhaps even more
surprising to users.

This is not a very satisfactory solution either - we should isolate
the error and return it to the user without killing the whole process.
However, this is an incremental step and consistent with most other
failures (which either manifest as abort() or panic).

Fragmentation of the KV cache can occur due to cache shifting or
different sequences getting processed. Decode uses a heuristic to
decide if it should defrag. However, this heuristic isn't 100%
accurate, so decoding can sometimes fail by surprise.

For these cases, if decode indicates that there is no KV cache space,
we should defrag and then try again.

This doesn't have any impact currently because NUM_PARALLEL is forced
to 1 for embeddings, so both indicies will always be 0.

This is a partial revert of 8a35bb92
"runner.go: Increase survivability of main processing loop", removing
the panic handler.

Although we want to avoid errors taking down the runner, we also
should make the user aware of problems when they happen. In the
future, we can restructure things so both parts are true.

Currently, if an error occurs during the prep stages (such as
tokenizing) of a single request, it will only affect that request.
However, if an error happens during decoding, it can take down the
entire runner.

Instead, it's better to drop the tokens that triggered the error and try to
keep going. However, we also need to stop when we run out of tokens,
otherwise, this just causes an infinite loop. This is likely the cause
of at least some of the hanging issues that have been reported.

Bug #7573

It's possible to get prompts that consist entirely of whitespace -
this is most likely to happen when generating embeddings. Currently,
we will trim this away, leaving an empty prompt, which will then
generate an error.

Generating embeddings from whitespace should not trigger an error,
as this may break pipelines. It's better to just leave the whitespace
in place and process what we are given. This is consistent with
past versions of Ollama.

Bug #7578

NUM_PARALEL is currently enforced by the Ollama server process - it
will only issue requests to the runner if the maximum number of
concurrent requests has not been exceeded. Although this should
be sufficient, it is good for the runner to protect its own data
structures. Currently, if too many requests get through to the
runner, they will just get stuck and never return.

This may help with reports of Ollama hanging, though it is unclear
how it would actually occur.

Bug #7573

This adds support for the Jetson JetPack variants into the Go runner

The structure of the accounting for KV cache shifting was carried
over from the old runner but it now doesn't feel natural with the new
runner. There are a number of invariants that should hold true but
are difficult to reason about. There is at least one bug report
that would imply that the invariants are not holding.

This reduces the number of implicit assumptions and is more forgiving
of unexpected situations. It also improves behavior around which input
tokens are kept when truncation occurs.

Bug #7545

If we get a request with a zero length image, it will result in
an out-of-bounds error when we pass the data to the image encoder.

This enables the workaround code only for windows which should help windows users with muliple AMD GPUs

Bring consistency with the old generate script behavior

On linux nvcc isn't automatically linking to the same cuda version.

Now that server.cpp is gone, we don't need to keep passing arguments
that were only ignored and only kept for compatibility.

Check for NULL return values from llama.cpp in more places and
convert them into Go errors, which should make debugging easier
in the future rather than having hidden surprises in our data
structures.

Mllama has large embeddings (100 MB per image) and each embedding is
represented as 1 token when passed to llama.cpp. Batches are pre-
allocated for the size of the tokens times the batch size, so this
results in allocations of over 50 GB at the default batch size.
On some systems, these mallocs will fail.

Since an image is represented as a single token and mllama doesn't
support more than 1 image per request, we only need to allocate a
batch size of 1, which is much more reasonable. In addition, for
non-multimodal models, we don't need to allocate the embedding
batches at all.

Fixes #7464

Currently if an input has embeddings at any point then we will set
cross attention to true from the beginning. This means that any
tokens before the embeddings are sent will incorrectly have cross
attention layers applied.

This only sets cross attention when we have an embedding, either
previously in this sequence or in the cache. It also makes cross
attention capable of supporting parallelism at the runner level,
though the mllama implementation doesn't support that yet.

-Update mllama to take the cross attention state as embeddings in
a batch, more similar to how Llava handles it. This improves
integration with the input cache.
-Pass locations in a prompt for embeddings using tags similar to Llava.
-Abstract interface to vision models so the main runner accesses Clip
and Mllama similarly

This will no longer error if built with regular gcc on windows.  To help
triage issues that may come in related to different compilers, the runner now
reports the compier used by cgo.

* Remove llama.cpp submodule and shift new build to top

* CI: install msys and clang gcc on win

Needed for deepseek to work properly on windows

* Switch over to clang for deepseek on windows

The patch for deepseek requires clang on windows. gcc on windows
has a buggy c++ library and can't handle the unicode characters

* Fail fast with wrong compiler on windows

Avoid users mistakenly building with GCC when we need clang

Llama.cpp sometimes returns NULL as a return value to report an
error. We should explicitly check for this and convert it to a Go
error rather than putting NULL in our data structures and waiting
for it to blow up later.

On windows compiled with gcc the c++ regex library failed to handle
the characters

The common src/hdr defs should be in the common definitions, not gpu specific.

This unfies the rocm/cuda dependency logic into the makefile
and fixes a missing define which broke windows rocm

On windows ensure windows version define is properly set for rocm.
Remove duplicate rocm arch flags.
Resolve wildcards in the targets so parallel builds don't race.
Use readlink to resolve rocm dependencies since wildcards omit libelf
Keep windows rocm deps aligned with unified packaging model

We check for partial unicode characters and accumulate them before
sending. However, when we did send, we still sent each individual piece
separately, leading to broken output. This combines everything into
a single group, which is also more efficient.

This also switches to the built-in check for valid unicode characters,
which is stricter. After this, we should never send back an invalid
sequence.

STL headers, the sampling_ext.[h|cpp] wrapper is maintained to allow go to
