# Motivation
This PR moves the implementation of `torch.cuda.memory._set_allocator_settings` to `torch._C._accelerator_setAllocatorSettings`.
Since the original API was intended as a temporary/internal utility, I am not exposing the new function as a public API.

Context on torch.cuda.memory._record_memory_history buffer behavior
## Description
Answer questions:
- Can I keep _record_memory_history() always enabled with the default max_entries=sys.maxsize (9223372036854775807)? Will it consume a significant amount of CPU RAM?
- If I set max_entries to a lower value, e.g. 2000, will it keep the first 2000 entries and then stop recording or will it keep the most recent 2000 entries before each snapshot (fifo-style)?
- What is the expected size on disk of the snapshots? Some KBs, MBs?

Summary:
There are some cases where we want only local annotations for memory snapshot such as executing inside the cudastream callback, which cannot execute CUDA operators. Thus the cuda errors happen: Exception in RecordFunction callback: CUDA error: operation not permitted
However, we need to have an option to turn on the globally so that on-demand snapshot can get annotations. Additionally, there may be some cases in which auto-trace will also want annotations using record functions so we expose the flag to the auto-trace as well.
Test Plan:
Run MVAI executable and see that the errors go away

Removes MemPoolContext from custom user mempools. The ground truth for which pool should be used is in graph_pools active pool, and MemPoolContext just introduced an opportunity for the pool pointed to by MemPoolContext and active pool in graph_pools to go out of sync (see all the asserts in the code to make sure that happens, and yet it still could happen in a multithread scenario, see my recent PRs (#153990).

Summary:
To add PT2 information to memory snapshot we piggyback off of the Kineto implementation using record_function similar to adding the user annotations. To do this we add the following:
1. Stack implementation that we instantiate to keep track of which compile context stack we are currently in (top element of the stack). The stack will be per device and thread-local since different threads of a process can be in different compile contexts at a given time. For this reason, we do not need to add mutexes to our stack impl since no two threads will touch a given stack
2. RecordFunction hooks to properly pipe the correct events to the compile context stack. These hooks are similar to the annotation ones in the fact that we just register them lazily and DO NOT unregister them. This is done out of convenience. In the future, we should save the handles and unregister them to minimize overhead after profiling is finished. As of now, we are registering this at the FUNCTION scope which is wide; however, we treat any function that does not start with "Torch-Compiled Region" as a no-op so we anticipate the difference in performance to be negligible during and after profiling. We also hide this feature behind a flag set to off on default so existing jobs will be unaffected
3. Piping for compile context to pickle output
Test Plan:
In D74039793, we add CompileContext to the visualizer and we see the following {F1977654658}

I tried `beginAllocateToPool` instead of `_cuda_beginAllocateCurrentStreamToPool` and the error in #151199 does not happen any more.
However, this approach is unsafe for multithreading. When multiple run_eager happens concurrently, we expect memory allocation to different mem_pool. Since beginAllocateToPool does not check stream, these memory allocation may happen on the same mem_pool.
So, I use `_cuda_beginAllocateCurrentThreadToPool` to direct all memory allocation on the same thread to a given mem_pool. In particular, `_cuda_beginAllocateCurrentThreadToPool` records the launching thread id, and during runtime checks if the current thread id matches the launching thread id.

MemPool is a separate pool of memory handled by the caching allocator. This PR adds the option let the caching allocator try to use this pool as a last resort instead of OOMing by associating a use_on_oom bool with each MemPool.
Usage:
Users can optionally specify a ``use_on_oom`` bool (which is False by default) during MemPool creation. If true, then the CUDACachingAllocator will be able to use memory in this pool as a last resort instead of OOMing.
```
pool = torch.cuda.MemPool(allocator, use_on_oom=True)
with torch.cuda.use_mem_pool(pool):
a = torch.randn(40 * 1024 * 1024, dtype=torch.uint8, device="cuda")
del a
# at the memory limit, this will succeed by using pool's memory in order to avoid the oom
b = torch.randn(40 * 1024 * 1024, dtype=torch.uint8, device="cuda")
```
Testing:
```
python test/test_cuda.py -k test_mempool_limited_memory_with_allocator
```

Summary:
Oftentimes, users complain that a bunch of extra events are prepended to their desired GPU snapshot. This is because they usually attach an OOM logger without knowing and when they go to collect the actual snapshot, it adds all the OOM logger contents. Since OOM and regular snapshot use the same backend, we currently don't have the infra in place to split these snapshots.
As a solution we add a flag to the snapshot frontend to clear out the history when starting the auto-trace record memory history.
A more thorough solution would be to have a user pass in a handle and to have snapshots per handle to seperate the events. However, this would likely be complicated and more work than it is worth as we would have to change the callbacks in the caching allocator and pass these objects between python and cpp.

This is an initial attempt to provide some statistics for the pinned host memory allocations flowing through CachingHostAllocator. Many times in the past we have had inexplicable slowdowns that would be much easier to diagnose if we had some host memory characteristics.
This change tries very hard not to disrupt the initial design of the allocator, and it uses existing locking mechanism, whenever possible, to gather statistics "for free". Only deviation from that is on the "slow path" where we incur CUDA calls anyway, so taking a short lock is not going to hurt the performance much, especially in the steady state where most allocations will come from cache.
As mentioned before, this is the first PR, to introduce the concept and to see if it fits the right paradigm. We can always add more later.
Metrics that would require more involved changes to the code base and locks, like requested memory, have been punted for now. I also tried to reuse the Stat structure used in CUDA caching allocator, in order to maintain symmetry.

Certain `cpp_wrapper`-enabled tests were OOM-ing in the CI pipeline, with error messages suggesting that sufficient memory was accessible. This ultimately resulted from an internal memory limitation that was not queryable in the API. This PR adds querying for that limit.
Additionally, the failing tests had incorrect memory availability checks, and are updated with measured memory requirements.

Pylance infers the type of the first argument (`enabled`) to `_record_memory_history` as `str` even though the function accepts `Literal[None, "state", "all"]`.
This raises an issue when passing `None`, even though it is a legitimate argument.
This PR addresses the issue by adding the type annotation in the doc string.

Canonically, the snapshot API returns the entire memory state of the CUDACachingAllocator (using `get_all_blocks`). There is no API that can only return the memory state of a given pool.
In this PR, we extend the functionality of snapshot API such that it can only return the memory addresses of an active pool. When snapshot API is called under a MemPoolContext, we only return the blocks that correspond to the pool id of the active pool.

This PR refactors some ref-counting functionality out of `beginAllocateToPool` and `releasePool`. The ref-counting logic is then used in construction and destruction of `torch.cuda.MemPool`.
The `use_count` variable in the CUDACachingAllocator is essentially a refcount of how many context managers are using the pool. Since we are now lifting up the MemPool abstraction to the user, the MemPool object itself now needs to hold a an extra reference as well.

`torch.cuda.memory.mem_get_info` allows device strings given the current type hints. However, `device = torch.device('cuda')` leads to `device.index = None`, which results in downstream problems. Setting `optional=True` will insert the default device index in such cases.

It is a long known pain point that if other users are running things, the call of `torch.cuda.memory.list_gpu_processes()` will error out:
```
torch.cuda.memory.list_gpu_processes()

procs = amdsmi.amdsmi_get_gpu_process_list(handle) # type: ignore[attr-defined]

raise AmdSmiLibraryException(ret_code)
amdsmi.py_interface.amdsmi_exception.AmdSmiLibraryException: Error code:

```
So just catch this error
