Description

Restores the default that #18677 set and #19963 reverted, now that the reason
for the revert is fixed.

Pre-merge consume was turned off because the SBSA wheel built in
GH200-PackageSanityCheck-PY312-UB2404 segfaulted on import tensorrt_llm
once it was BOLTed. The cause was GNU ld's cortex-a53-843419 workaround, which
Ubuntu's aarch64 GCC enables by default: BOLT reads the erratum veneer's branch
as a tail call and patches the veneer's return site with an x16 trampoline,
destroying a live x16 mid-function.

That is fixed in #20024, which passes -mno-fix-cortex-a53-843419 under
ENABLE_BOLT_COMPATIBLE and adds a check that refuses to BOLT any binary still
carrying those veneers. This PR only flips the rollout switch back on.

Depends on #20024 and must not merge before it. This branch does not carry
the fix, so its own pre-merge run will hit the veneer check. That check fails
closed, so the result is a red build rather than a broken wheel, but #20024
still needs to be in main first.

Test Coverage

Validated on the #20024 branch with this flag flipped on. Both GH200
PackageSanityCheck stages ran apply_bolt against libtensorrt_llm.so and
libth_common.so, the wheel passed the load check, and import tensorrt_llm
and the quickstart example both succeeded. Pipeline finished SUCCESS with no
failed stages.

Dev Engineer Review

  • ENABLE_BOLT_PREMERGE_CONSUME now defaults to true, enabling BOLT consume for eligible pre-merge builds.
  • resolveBoltConsume retains its post-merge and target-branch restrictions.
  • This change only flips the rollout switch. The PR objectives state that it depends on #20024 to prevent GNU ld veneers from causing BOLT failures; merge only after that fix is available.
  • The author reports successful validation on the #20024 branch with the flag enabled. No independent test results are supplied.

QA Engineer Review

No test changes.

Per-File QA Perspective

  • jenkins/L0_MergeRequest.groovy: Verify that eligible pre-merge builds consume BOLT output by default, while post-merge and target-branch restrictions remain effective. Confirm the #20024 veneer fix is present before enabling this default.

Keep pre-merge BOLT consume disabled until #20024 is available.

For eligible pre-merge builds targeting main, this default enables apply_bolt.py on SBSA wheels. The reviewed head and available target-branch snapshot do not contain the Cortex-A53 linker workaround or veneer rejection. Keep this switch false until that prerequisite is included.
