vasilito cb424d7448 build: static patch-sanity linter (shift-left the malformed-patch class)
verify-patch-sanity.py validates every active recipe .patch has internally-
consistent hunk line counts — catching the 'malformed patch at line N' failure
at commit/CI/preflight time instead of hours into a cook. This cycle hit that
class three times (qtwaylandscanner, sddm, xwayland), each only discovered when
cookbook tried to apply the patch.

Running it across the repo found 29 latent malformed patches (validated against
GNU patch: e.g. relibc/P3-sysv-ipc reproduces 'malformed patch at line 22').
They were harmless only because they sit in vendored recipes (baked, not re-
applied) — but would fail on any version-bump re-derivation. --fix recounts the
hunk headers (body untouched) and repaired all 29.

Wired into build-preflight.sh (Phase 1.0D) and redbear-ci.yml, with a unit test
(test-patch-sanity.sh). Skips archived/legacy trees and unvalidatable formats
(empty placeholders, bare-@@ git hunks).

Introduction
============
This LLVM IR pass reports various statistics for codes compiled for GPUs. The
goal of these statistics is to help identify bad code patterns and ways to
mitigate them. The pass operates at the LLVM IR level so that it can, in
theory, support any LLVM-based compiler for programming languages supporting
GPUs.
By default, the pass runs at the end of LTO, and options like
``-Rpass=kernel-info`` enable its remarks. Example ``opt`` and ``clang``
command lines appear in the next section.
Remarks include summary statistics (e.g., total size of static allocas) and
individual occurrences (e.g., source location of each alloca). Examples of the
output appear in tests in `llvm/test/Analysis/KernelInfo`.
Example Command Lines
=====================
To analyze a C program as it appears to an LLVM GPU backend at the end of LTO:
.. code-block:: shell
$ clang -O2 -g -fopenmp --offload-arch=native test.c -foffload-lto \
-Rpass=kernel-info
To analyze specified LLVM IR, perhaps previously generated by something like
``clang -save-temps -g -fopenmp --offload-arch=native test.c``:
.. code-block:: shell
$ opt -disable-output test-openmp-nvptx64-nvidia-cuda-sm_70.bc \
-pass-remarks=kernel-info -passes=kernel-info
When specifying an LLVM pass pipeline on the command line, ``kernel-info`` still
runs at the end of LTO by default. ``-no-kernel-info-end-lto`` disables that
behavior so you can position ``kernel-info`` explicitly:
.. code-block:: shell
$ clang -O2 -g -fopenmp --offload-arch=native test.c -foffload-lto \
-Rpass=kernel-info \
-Xoffload-linker --lto-newpm-passes='lto<O2>'
$ clang -O2 -g -fopenmp --offload-arch=native test.c -foffload-lto \
-Rpass=kernel-info -mllvm -no-kernel-info-end-lto \
-Xoffload-linker --lto-newpm-passes='module(kernel-info),lto<O2>'
$ opt -disable-output test-openmp-nvptx64-nvidia-cuda-sm_70.bc \
-pass-remarks=kernel-info \
-passes='lto<O2>'
$ opt -disable-output test-openmp-nvptx64-nvidia-cuda-sm_70.bc \
-pass-remarks=kernel-info -no-kernel-info-end-lto \
-passes='module(kernel-info),lto<O2>'
