[Build] Download CUDA 12.9 nvcc/ptxas/cicc for better codegen in Docker build

Use CUDA 12.9.86 compiler toolchain (nvcc, ptxas, cicc) for better GPU
code generation while keeping CUDA 12.8 headers/libs for runtime
compatibility with PyTorch cu128 wheels.

nvcc is replaced (not just ptxas/cicc) so that setup.py's
get_nvcc_cuda_version() reports 12.9, which is required for FlashMLA
registration. PyTorch's CMake nvcc-vs-header version check is patched
to a warning in base (for extensions-build), csrc-build, and build
stages (re-applied after torch pip reinstall overwrites cmake files).

Controlled by ARG MIN_NVCC_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION (default 12.9.86):
- Skipped if system nvcc is already >= the specified version
- Set to empty string to disable entirely
- Archive integrity verified via SHA256 checksums from NVIDIA's
  redistrib manifest

+# to avoid rebuilding them when Dockerfile.rocm_base hasn't changed.
+#
+# Usage:
+#   cache-rocm-base-wheels.sh check    - Check if cache exists, outputs "hit" or "miss"
+#   cache-rocm-base-wheels.sh upload   - Upload wheels to cache
+#   cache-rocm-base-wheels.sh download - Download wheels from cache
+#   cache-rocm-base-wheels.sh key      - Output the cache key
+#
+# Environment variables:
+#   S3_BUCKET          - S3 bucket name (default: vllm-wheels)
+#   PYTHON_VERSION     - Python version (affects cache key)
+#   PYTORCH_ROCM_ARCH  - GPU architectures (affects cache key)
+#

+# vLLM Attention Benchmarking Suite
+
+Fast, flexible benchmarking for vLLM attention and MLA backends with an extended batch specification grammar.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+cd benchmarks/attention_benchmarks
+
+# Run a pre-configured benchmark
+python benchmark.py --config configs/mla_decode.yaml
+python benchmark.py --config configs/mla_mixed_batch.yaml
+python benchmark.py --config configs/speculative_decode.yaml
+python benchmark.py --config configs/standard_attention.yaml
+python benchmark.py --config configs/reorder_threshold.yaml
+
+# Or run custom benchmarks
+python benchmark.py \
+    --backends flash flashinfer \
+    --batch-specs "q2k" "8q1s1k" "2q2k_32q1s1k" \
+    --output-csv results.csv
+```
+
+## Simplified Batch Specification Grammar
+
+Express workloads concisely using query length and sequence length:
+
+```python
+"q2k"              # 2048-token prefill (q_len=2048, seq_len=2048)
+"q1s1k"            # Decode: 1 token with 1K sequence
+"8q1s1k"           # 8 decode requests
+"q4s1k"            # 4-token extend (e.g., spec decode)
+"2q2k_32q1s1k"     # Mixed: 2 prefills + 32 decodes
+"16q4s1k"          # 16 spec decode (4 tokens each)
+```
+
+### Grammar Rule
+
+```text
+Format: (<count>?) q<q_len>(k?) (s<seq_len>(k?))?
+
+- count:   Number of identical requests (optional, default=1)
+- q_len:   Query length (number of new tokens)
+- seq_len: Total sequence length (optional, defaults to q_len for prefill)
+- 'k':     Multiplies value by 1024
+
+Mixed batches: Use _ to combine (e.g., "2q2k_32q1s1k")
+```
+
+**Note**: Decode, prefill, and spec decode are just different query lengths - no special syntax needed!
+
+## Pre-configured Benchmarks
+
+The suite includes several pre-configured YAML benchmark configurations:
+
+### MLA Decode Benchmark
+
+Tests pure decode performance across MLA backends with varying batch sizes and sequence lengths.
+
+```bash
+python benchmark.py --config configs/mla_decode.yaml
+```
+
+### MLA Mixed Batch Benchmark
+
+Tests chunked prefill performance with mixed prefill + decode batches.
+
+```bash
+python benchmark.py --config configs/mla_mixed_batch.yaml
+```
+
+### Speculative Decoding Benchmark
+
+Tests speculative decode scenarios (K-token verification) and reorder_batch_threshold optimization.
+
+```bash
+python benchmark.py --config configs/speculative_decode.yaml
+```
+
+### Standard Attention Benchmark
+
+Tests standard attention backends (Flash/Triton/FlashInfer) with pure prefill, decode, and mixed batches.
+
+```bash
+python benchmark.py --config configs/standard_attention.yaml
+```
+
+### Reorder Threshold Study
+
+**Question:** At what query length does the prefill pipeline become faster than the decode pipeline?
+
+Tests query lengths from 1-1024 across 9 batch sizes to find the crossover point. Uses `decode_vs_prefill` mode to compare both pipelines for each query length.
+
+```bash
+python benchmark.py --config configs/reorder_threshold.yaml
+```
+
+---
+
+## Universal Benchmark
+
+The `benchmark.py` script handles **all** backends - both standard attention and MLA.
+
+### Standard Attention (Flash/Triton/FlashInfer)
+
+```bash
+python benchmark.py \
+    --backends flash triton flashinfer \
+    --batch-specs "q2k" "8q1s1k" "2q2k_32q1s1k" \
+    --num-layers 10 \
+    --repeats 5 \
+    --output-csv results.csv
+```
+
+### MLA Backends
+
+```bash
+# Compare all MLA backends
+python benchmark.py \
+    --backends cutlass_mla flashinfer_mla flashattn_mla flashmla \
+    --batch-specs "64q1s1k" "64q1s4k" \
+    --output-csv mla_results.csv
+```
+
+### Parameter Sweeps
+
+Use `--sweep-param` and `--sweep-values` to run parameter sweeps from the CLI:
+
+#### CUTLASS MLA num-splits Optimization
+
+**Question:** What is the optimal `num_kv_splits` for CUTLASS MLA?
+
+```bash
+python benchmark.py \
+    --backend cutlass_mla \
+    --batch-specs "64q1s1k" "64q1s4k" "64q1s16k" \
+    --sweep-param num_kv_splits \
+    --sweep-values 1 2 4 8 16 \
+    --output-json optimal_splits.json
+```
+
+#### Reorder Batch Threshold Optimization
+
+**Question:** What's the optimal `reorder_batch_threshold` for speculative decoding?
+
+```bash
+python benchmark.py \
+    --backend flashmla \
+    --batch-specs "q4s1k" "q8s2k" \
+    --sweep-param reorder_batch_threshold \
+    --sweep-values 1 4 16 64 256 512 \
+    --output-csv threshold_sweep.csv
+```
+

+## Hardware Requirements
+
+| Backend | Hardware |
+|---------|----------|
+| Flash/Triton/FlashInfer | Any CUDA GPU |
+| CUTLASS MLA | Blackwell (SM100+) |
+| FlashAttn MLA | Hopper (SM90+) |
+| FlashMLA | Hopper (SM90+) |
+| FlashInfer-MLA | Any CUDA GPU |
+
+## Using MLA Runner Directly
+
+All MLA backends are available through `mla_runner.run_mla_benchmark()`:
+
+```python
+from mla_runner import run_mla_benchmark
+from common import BenchmarkConfig
+
+config = BenchmarkConfig(
+    backend="cutlass_mla",
+    batch_spec="64q1s4k",
+    num_layers=10,
+    head_dim=576,
+    num_q_heads=128,
+    num_kv_heads=1,
+    block_size=128,
+    device="cuda:0",
+    repeats=5,
+    warmup_iters=3,
+)
+
+# CUTLASS MLA with specific num_kv_splits
+result = run_mla_benchmark("cutlass_mla", config, num_kv_splits=4)
+print(f"Time: {result.mean_time:.6f}s")
+
+# FlashInfer-MLA
+result = run_mla_benchmark("flashinfer_mla", config)
+
+# FlashAttn MLA (Hopper SM90+)
+result = run_mla_benchmark("flashattn_mla", config, reorder_batch_threshold=64)
+
+# FlashMLA (Hopper SM90+)
+result = run_mla_benchmark("flashmla", config, reorder_batch_threshold=64)
+```
+
+## Python API
+
+```python
+from batch_spec import parse_batch_spec, format_batch_spec, get_batch_stats
+from common import BenchmarkConfig, BenchmarkResult, ResultsFormatter
+
+# Parse batch specs
+requests = parse_batch_spec("2q2k_q4s1k_32q1s1k")
+print(format_batch_spec(requests))
+# "2 prefill (2x2k), 1 extend (1xq4kv1k), 32 decode (32x1k)"
+
+# Get batch statistics
+stats = get_batch_stats(requests)
+print(f"Total tokens: {stats['total_tokens']}")
+print(f"Num decode: {stats['num_decode']}, Num prefill: {stats['num_prefill']}")
+
+# Format results
+formatter = ResultsFormatter()
+formatter.save_csv(results, "output.csv")
+formatter.save_json(results, "output.json")
+```
+
+## Tips
+
+**1. Warmup matters** - Use `--warmup-iters 10` for stable results
+
+**2. Multiple repeats** - Use `--repeats 20` for low variance
+
+**3. Save results** - Always use `--output-csv` or `--output-json`
+
+**4. Test incrementally** - Start with `--num-layers 1 --repeats 1`
+
+**5. Extended grammar** - Leverage spec decode, chunked prefill patterns
+
+**6. Parameter sweeps** - Use `--sweep-param` and `--sweep-values` to find optimal values

+Simplified batch specification grammar for attention benchmarks.
+
+Grammar (underscore-separated segments):
+  Format: (<count>?) q<q_len>(k?) (s<seq_len>(k?))?
+
+  - count: Number of identical requests (optional, default=1)
+  - q_len: Query length (number of new tokens)
+  - seq_len: Total sequence length (optional, defaults to q_len for prefill)
+  - 'k' suffix: Multiplies value by 1024
+
+Common patterns:
+  - Prefill:  q_len == seq_len  (e.g., "q2k" → 2048 new tokens, 2048 seq)
+  - Decode:   q_len == 1        (e.g., "q1s1k" → 1 token, 1024 seq length)
+  - Extend:   q_len < seq_len   (e.g., "q4s1k" → 4 tokens, 1024 seq length)
+
+Examples:
+  q2k              -> [(2048, 2048)]           # Prefill: 2048 tokens
+  q1s1k            -> [(1, 1024)]              # Decode: 1 token, 1K sequence
+  8q1s1k           -> [(1, 1024)] * 8          # 8 decode requests
+  q4s1k            -> [(4, 1024)]              # 4-token extend (spec decode)
+  2q1k_32q1s1k     -> [(1024, 1024)] * 2 + [(1, 1024)] * 32  # Mixed batch
+  16q4s1k          -> [(4, 1024)] * 16         # 16 spec decode requests
