Re-introduce the llama package (#5034) 
* Re-introduce the llama package

This PR brings back the llama package, making it possible to call llama.cpp and
ggml APIs from Go directly via CGo. This has a few advantages:

- C APIs can be called directly from Go without needing to use the previous
  "server" REST API
- On macOS and for CPU builds on Linux and Windows, Ollama can be built without
  a go generate ./... step, making it easy to get up and running to hack on
  parts of Ollama that don't require fast inference
- Faster build times for AVX,AVX2,CUDA and ROCM (a full build of all runners
  takes <5 min on a fast CPU)
- No git submodule making it easier to clone and build from source

This is a big PR, but much of it is vendor code except for:

- llama.go CGo bindings
- example/: a simple example of running inference
- runner/: a subprocess server designed to replace the llm/ext_server package
- Makefile an as minimal as possible Makefile to build the runner package for
  different targets (cpu, avx, avx2, cuda, rocm)

* cache: Clear old KV cache entries when evicting a slot

When forking a cache entry, if no empty slots are available we
evict the least recently used one and copy over the KV entries
from the closest match. However, this copy does not overwrite
existing values but only adds new ones. Therefore, we need to
clear the old slot first.

This change fixes two issues:
 - The KV cache fills up and runs out of space even though we think
   we are managing it correctly
 - Performance gets worse over time as we use new cache entries that
   are not hot in the processor caches

* doc: explain golang objc linker warning (#6830)

* llama: gather transitive dependencies for rocm for dist packaging (#6848)

* Refine go server makefiles to be more DRY (#6924)

This breaks up the monolithic Makefile for the Go based runners into a
set of utility files as well as recursive Makefiles for the runners.
Files starting with the name "Makefile" are buildable, while files that
end with ".make" are utilities to include in other Makefiles.  This
reduces the amount of nearly identical targets and helps set a pattern
for future community contributions for new GPU runner architectures.

When we are ready to switch over to the Go runners, these files should
move to the top of the repo, and we should add targets for the main CLI,
as well as a helper "install" (put all the built binaries on the local
system in a runnable state) and "dist" target (generate the various
tar/zip files for distribution) for local developer use.

* llama: don't create extraneous directories (#6988)

* llama: Exercise the new build in CI (#6989)

Wire up some basic sanity testing in CI for the Go runner.  GPU runners are not covered yet.

* llama: Refine developer docs for Go server (#6842)

This enhances the documentation for development focusing on the new Go
server.  After we complete the transition further doc refinements
can remove the "transition" discussion.

* runner.go: Allocate batches for all sequences during init

We should tell the model that we could have full batches for all
sequences. We already do this when we allocate the batches but it was
missed during initialization.

* llama.go: Don't return nil from Tokenize on zero length input

Potentially receiving nil in a non-error condition is surprising to
most callers - it's better to return an empty slice.

* runner.go: Remove stop tokens from cache

If the last token is EOG then we don't return this and it isn't
present in the cache (because it was never submitted to Decode).
This works well for extending the cache entry with a new sequence.

However, for multi-token stop sequences, we won't return any of the
tokens but all but the last one will be in the cache. This means
when the conversation continues the cache will contain tokens that
don't overlap with the new prompt.

This works (we will pick up the portion where there is overlap) but
it causes unnecessary cache thrashing because we will fork the original
cache entry as it is not a perfect match.

By trimming the cache to the tokens that we actually return this
issue can be avoided.

* runner.go: Simplify flushing of pending tokens

* runner.go: Update TODOs

* runner.go: Don't panic when processing sequences

If there is an error processing a sequence, we should return a
clean HTTP error back to Ollama rather than panicing. This will
make us more resilient to transient failures.

Panics can still occur during startup as there is no way to serve
requests if that fails.

* runner.go: More accurately capture timings

Currently prompt processing time doesn't capture the that it takes
to tokenize the input, only decoding time. We should capture the
full process to more accurately reflect reality. This is especially
true once we start processing images where the initial processing
can take significant time. This is also more consistent with the
existing C++ runner.

* runner.go: Support for vision models

In addition to bringing feature parity with the C++ runner, this also
incorporates several improvements:
 - Cache prompting works with images, avoiding the need to re-decode
   embeddings for every message in a conversation
 - Parallelism is supported, avoiding the need to restrict to one
   sequence at a time. (Though for now Ollama will not schedule
   them while we might need to fall back to the old runner.)

* runner.go: Move Unicode checking code and add tests

* runner.go: Export external cache members

Runner and cache are in the same package so the change doesn't
affect anything but it is more internally consistent.

* runner.go: Image embedding cache

Generating embeddings from images can take significant time (on
my machine between 100ms and 8s depending on the model). Although
we already cache the result of decoding these images, the embeddings
need to be regenerated every time. This is not necessary if we get
the same image over and over again, for example, during a conversation.

This currently uses a very small cache with a very simple algorithm
but it is easy to improve as is warranted.

* llama: catch up on patches

Carry forward solar-pro and cli-unicode patches

* runner.go: Don't re-allocate memory for every batch

We can reuse memory allocated from batch to batch since batch
size is fixed. This both saves the cost of reallocation as well
keeps the cache lines hot.

This results in a roughly 1% performance improvement for token
generation with Nvidia GPUs on Linux.

* runner.go: Default to classic input cache policy

The input cache as part of the go runner implemented a cache
policy that aims to maximize hit rate in both single and multi-
user scenarios. When there is a cache hit, the response is
very fast.

However, performance is actually slower when there is an input
cache miss due to worse GPU VRAM locality. This means that
performance is generally better overall for multi-user scenarios
(better input cache hit rate, locality was relatively poor already).
But worse for single users (input cache hit rate is about the same,
locality is now worse).

This defaults the policy back to the old one to avoid a regression
but keeps the new one available through an environment variable
OLLAMA_MULTIUSER_CACHE. This is left undocumented as the goal is
to improve this in the future to get the best of both worlds
without user configuration.

For inputs that result in cache misses, on Nvidia/Linux this
change improves performance by 31% for prompt processing and
13% for token generation.

* runner.go: Increase size of response channel

Generally the CPU can easily keep up with handling reponses that
are generated but there's no reason not to let generation continue
and handle things in larger batches if needed.

* llama: Add CI to verify all vendored changes have patches (#7066)

Make sure we don't accidentally merge changes in the vendored code
that aren't also reflected in the patches.

* llama: adjust clip patch for mingw utf-16 (#7065)

* llama: adjust clip patch for mingw utf-16

* llama: ensure static linking of runtime libs

Avoid runtime dependencies on non-standard libraries

* runner.go: Enable llamafile (all platforms) and BLAS (Mac OS)

These are two features that are shown on llama.cpp's system info
that are currently different between the two runners. On my test
systems the performance difference is very small to negligible
but it is probably still good to equalize the features.

* llm: Don't add BOS/EOS for tokenize requests

This is consistent with what server.cpp currently does. It affects
things like token processing counts for embedding requests.

* runner.go: Don't cache prompts for embeddings

Our integration with server.cpp implicitly disables prompt caching
because it is not part of the JSON object being parsed, this makes
the Go runner behavior similarly.

Prompt caching has been seen to affect the results of text completions
on certain hardware. The results are not wrong either way but they
are non-deterministic. However, embeddings seem to be affected even
on hardware that does not show this behavior for completions. For
now, it is best to maintain consistency with the existing behavior.

* runner.go: Adjust debug log levels

Add system info printed at startup and quiet down noisier logging.

* llama: fix compiler flag differences (#7082)

Adjust the flags for the new Go server to more closely match the
generate flow

* llama: refine developer docs (#7121)

* llama: doc and example clean up (#7122)

* llama: doc and example clean up

* llama: Move new dockerfile into llama dir

Temporary home until we fully transition to the Go server

* llama: runner doc cleanup

* llama.go: Add description for Tokenize error case

# Development
> [!IMPORTANT]
> The `llm` package that loads and runs models is being updated to use a new [Go runner](#transition-to-go-runner): this should only impact a small set of PRs however it does change how the project is built.
Install required tools:
- cmake version 3.24 or higher
- go version 1.22 or higher
- gcc version 11.4.0 or higher
### MacOS
```bash
brew install go cmake gcc
```
Optionally enable debugging and more verbose logging:
```bash
# At build time
export CGO_CFLAGS="-g"
# At runtime
export OLLAMA_DEBUG=1
```
Get the required libraries and build the native LLM code:
```bash
go generate ./...
```
Then build ollama:
```bash
go build .
```
Now you can run `ollama`:
```bash
./ollama
```
### Linux
#### Linux CUDA (NVIDIA)
_Your operating system distribution may already have packages for NVIDIA CUDA. Distro packages are often preferable, but instructions are distro-specific. Please consult distro-specific docs for dependencies if available!_
Install `cmake` and `golang` as well as [NVIDIA CUDA](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads)
development and runtime packages.
Typically the build scripts will auto-detect CUDA, however, if your Linux distro
or installation approach uses unusual paths, you can specify the location by
specifying an environment variable `CUDA_LIB_DIR` to the location of the shared
libraries, and `CUDACXX` to the location of the nvcc compiler. You can customize
a set of target CUDA architectures by setting `CMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES` (e.g. "50;60;70")
Then generate dependencies:
```
go generate ./...
```
Then build the binary:
```
go build .
```
#### Linux ROCm (AMD)
_Your operating system distribution may already have packages for AMD ROCm and CLBlast. Distro packages are often preferable, but instructions are distro-specific. Please consult distro-specific docs for dependencies if available!_
Install [CLBlast](https://github.com/CNugteren/CLBlast/blob/master/doc/installation.md) and [ROCm](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/) development packages first, as well as `cmake` and `golang`.
Typically the build scripts will auto-detect ROCm, however, if your Linux distro
or installation approach uses unusual paths, you can specify the location by
specifying an environment variable `ROCM_PATH` to the location of the ROCm
install (typically `/opt/rocm`), and `CLBlast_DIR` to the location of the
CLBlast install (typically `/usr/lib/cmake/CLBlast`). You can also customize
the AMD GPU targets by setting AMDGPU_TARGETS (e.g. `AMDGPU_TARGETS="gfx1101;gfx1102"`)
```
go generate ./...
```
Then build the binary:
```
go build .
```
ROCm requires elevated privileges to access the GPU at runtime. On most distros you can add your user account to the `render` group, or run as root.
#### Advanced CPU Settings
By default, running `go generate ./...` will compile a few different variations
of the LLM library based on common CPU families and vector math capabilities,
including a lowest-common-denominator which should run on almost any 64 bit CPU
somewhat slowly. At runtime, Ollama will auto-detect the optimal variation to
load. If you would like to build a CPU-based build customized for your
processor, you can set `OLLAMA_CUSTOM_CPU_DEFS` to the llama.cpp flags you would
like to use. For example, to compile an optimized binary for an Intel i9-9880H,
you might use:
```
OLLAMA_CUSTOM_CPU_DEFS="-DGGML_AVX=on -DGGML_AVX2=on -DGGML_F16C=on -DGGML_FMA=on" go generate ./...
go build .
```
#### Containerized Linux Build
If you have Docker available, you can build linux binaries with `./scripts/build_linux.sh` which has the CUDA and ROCm dependencies included. The resulting binary is placed in `./dist`
### Windows
Note: The Windows build for Ollama is still under development.
First, install required tools:
- MSVC toolchain - C/C++ and cmake as minimal requirements
- Go version 1.22 or higher
- MinGW (pick one variant) with GCC.
- [MinGW-w64](https://www.mingw-w64.org/)
- [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/)
- The `ThreadJob` Powershell module: `Install-Module -Name ThreadJob -Scope CurrentUser`
Then, build the `ollama` binary:
```powershell
$env:CGO_ENABLED="1"
go generate ./...
go build .
```
#### Windows CUDA (NVIDIA)
In addition to the common Windows development tools described above, install CUDA after installing MSVC.
- [NVIDIA CUDA](https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-microsoft-windows/index.html)
#### Windows ROCm (AMD Radeon)
In addition to the common Windows development tools described above, install AMDs HIP package after installing MSVC.
- [AMD HIP](https://www.amd.com/en/developer/resources/rocm-hub/hip-sdk.html)
- [Strawberry Perl](https://strawberryperl.com/)
Lastly, add `ninja.exe` included with MSVC to the system path (e.g. `C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\CMake\Ninja`).
#### Windows arm64
The default `Developer PowerShell for VS 2022` may default to x86 which is not what you want. To ensure you get an arm64 development environment, start a plain PowerShell terminal and run:
```powershell
import-module 'C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2022\\Community\\Common7\\Tools\\Microsoft.VisualStudio.DevShell.dll'
Enter-VsDevShell -Arch arm64 -vsinstallpath 'C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2022\\Community' -skipautomaticlocation
```
You can confirm with `write-host $env:VSCMD_ARG_TGT_ARCH`
Follow the instructions at https://www.msys2.org/wiki/arm64/ to set up an arm64 msys2 environment. Ollama requires gcc and mingw32-make to compile, which is not currently available on Windows arm64, but a gcc compatibility adapter is available via `mingw-w64-clang-aarch64-gcc-compat`. At a minimum you will need to install the following:
```
pacman -S mingw-w64-clang-aarch64-clang mingw-w64-clang-aarch64-gcc-compat mingw-w64-clang-aarch64-make make
```
You will need to ensure your PATH includes go, cmake, gcc and clang mingw32-make to build ollama from source. (typically `C:\msys64\clangarm64\bin\`)
## Transition to Go runner
The Ollama team is working on moving to a new Go based runner that loads and runs models in a subprocess to replace the previous code under `ext_server`. During this transition period, this new Go runner is "opt in" at build time, and requires using a different approach to build.
After the transition to use the Go server exclusively, both `make` and `go generate` will build the Go runner.
Install required tools:
- go version 1.22 or higher
- gcc version 11.4.0 or higher
### MacOS
[Download Go](https://go.dev/dl/)
Optionally enable debugging and more verbose logging:
```bash
# At build time
export CGO_CFLAGS="-g"
# At runtime
export OLLAMA_DEBUG=1
```
Get the required libraries and build the native LLM code: (Adjust the job count based on your number of processors for a faster build)
```bash
make -C llama -j 5
```
Then build ollama:
```bash
go build .
```
Now you can run `ollama`:
```bash
./ollama
```
#### Xcode 15 warnings
If you are using Xcode newer than version 14, you may see a warning during `go build` about `ld: warning: ignoring duplicate libraries: '-lobjc'` due to Golang issue https://github.com/golang/go/issues/67799 which can be safely ignored. You can suppress the warning with `export CGO_LDFLAGS="-Wl,-no_warn_duplicate_libraries"`
### Linux
#### Linux CUDA (NVIDIA)
_Your operating system distribution may already have packages for NVIDIA CUDA. Distro packages are often preferable, but instructions are distro-specific. Please consult distro-specific docs for dependencies if available!_
Install `make`, `gcc` and `golang` as well as [NVIDIA CUDA](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads)
development and runtime packages.
Typically the build scripts will auto-detect CUDA, however, if your Linux distro
or installation approach uses unusual paths, you can specify the location by
specifying an environment variable `CUDA_LIB_DIR` to the location of the shared
libraries, and `CUDACXX` to the location of the nvcc compiler. You can customize
a set of target CUDA architectures by setting `CMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES` (e.g. "50;60;70")
Then generate dependencies: (Adjust the job count based on your number of processors for a faster build)
```
make -C llama -j 5
```
Then build the binary:
```
go build .
```
#### Linux ROCm (AMD)
_Your operating system distribution may already have packages for AMD ROCm and CLBlast. Distro packages are often preferable, but instructions are distro-specific. Please consult distro-specific docs for dependencies if available!_
Install [CLBlast](https://github.com/CNugteren/CLBlast/blob/master/doc/installation.md) and [ROCm](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/) development packages first, as well as `make`, `gcc`, and `golang`.
Typically the build scripts will auto-detect ROCm, however, if your Linux distro
or installation approach uses unusual paths, you can specify the location by
specifying an environment variable `ROCM_PATH` to the location of the ROCm
install (typically `/opt/rocm`), and `CLBlast_DIR` to the location of the
CLBlast install (typically `/usr/lib/cmake/CLBlast`). You can also customize
the AMD GPU targets by setting AMDGPU_TARGETS (e.g. `AMDGPU_TARGETS="gfx1101;gfx1102"`)
Then generate dependencies: (Adjust the job count based on your number of processors for a faster build)
```
make -C llama -j 5
```
Then build the binary:
```
go build .
```
ROCm requires elevated privileges to access the GPU at runtime. On most distros you can add your user account to the `render` group, or run as root.
#### Advanced CPU Settings
By default, running `make` will compile a few different variations
of the LLM library based on common CPU families and vector math capabilities,
including a lowest-common-denominator which should run on almost any 64 bit CPU
somewhat slowly. At runtime, Ollama will auto-detect the optimal variation to
load.
Custom CPU settings are not currently supported in the new Go server build but will be added back after we complete the transition.
#### Containerized Linux Build
If you have Docker available, you can build linux binaries with `OLLAMA_NEW_RUNNERS=1 ./scripts/build_linux.sh` which has the CUDA and ROCm dependencies included. The resulting binary is placed in `./dist`
### Windows
The following tools are required as a minimal development environment to build CPU inference support.
- Go version 1.22 or higher
- https://go.dev/dl/
- Git
- https://git-scm.com/download/win
- GCC and Make. There are multiple options on how to go about installing these tools on Windows. We have verified the following, but others may work as well:
- [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/)
- After installing, from an MSYS2 terminal, run `pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-gcc make` to install the required tools
- Assuming you used the default install prefix for msys2 above, add `c:\msys64\ucrt64\bin` and `c:\msys64\usr\bin` to your environment variable `PATH` where you will perform the build steps below (e.g. system-wide, account-level, powershell, cmd, etc.)
Then, build the `ollama` binary:
```powershell
$env:CGO_ENABLED="1"
make -C llama -j 8
go build .
```
#### GPU Support
The GPU tools require the Microsoft native build tools. To build either CUDA or ROCm, you must first install MSVC via Visual Studio:
- Make sure to select `Desktop development with C++` as a Workload during the Visual Studio install
- You must complete the Visual Studio install and run it once **BEFORE** installing CUDA or ROCm for the tools to properly register
- Add the location of the **64 bit (x64)** compiler (`cl.exe`) to your `PATH`
- Note: the default Developer Shell may configure the 32 bit (x86) compiler which will lead to build failures. Ollama requires a 64 bit toolchain.
#### Windows CUDA (NVIDIA)
In addition to the common Windows development tools and MSVC described above:
- [NVIDIA CUDA](https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-microsoft-windows/index.html)
#### Windows ROCm (AMD Radeon)
In addition to the common Windows development tools and MSVC described above:
- [AMD HIP](https://www.amd.com/en/developer/resources/rocm-hub/hip-sdk.html)
#### Windows arm64
The default `Developer PowerShell for VS 2022` may default to x86 which is not what you want. To ensure you get an arm64 development environment, start a plain PowerShell terminal and run:
```powershell
import-module 'C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2022\\Community\\Common7\\Tools\\Microsoft.VisualStudio.DevShell.dll'
Enter-VsDevShell -Arch arm64 -vsinstallpath 'C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2022\\Community' -skipautomaticlocation
```
You can confirm with `write-host $env:VSCMD_ARG_TGT_ARCH`
Follow the instructions at https://www.msys2.org/wiki/arm64/ to set up an arm64 msys2 environment. Ollama requires gcc and mingw32-make to compile, which is not currently available on Windows arm64, but a gcc compatibility adapter is available via `mingw-w64-clang-aarch64-gcc-compat`. At a minimum you will need to install the following:
```
pacman -S mingw-w64-clang-aarch64-clang mingw-w64-clang-aarch64-gcc-compat mingw-w64-clang-aarch64-make make
```
You will need to ensure your PATH includes go, cmake, gcc and clang mingw32-make to build ollama from source. (typically `C:\msys64\clangarm64\bin\`)
