Subject: [PATCH 1/5] Add enhanced BLAS/LAPACK return code interpretation and
 logging
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This commit builds upon PR #622's verbosity system by adding:

1. Detailed BLAS/LAPACK return code interpretation
   - Human-readable explanations for all BLAS/LAPACK info codes
   - Categorized errors (singular_matrix, not_positive_definite, etc.)
   - Operation-specific interpretations for getrf, potrf, geqrf, etc.

2. Extended logging information for BLAS operations
   - Matrix properties (size, type, condition number)
   - Memory usage estimates
   - Performance timing metrics
   - Contextual information for debugging

3. New verbosity controls
   - blas_errors: Controls BLAS/LAPACK error messages (default: Warn)
   - blas_info: Controls informational messages (default: None)
   - blas_success: Controls success messages (default: None)
   - blas_invalid_args: Controls invalid argument errors (default: Error)
   - blas_timing: Controls performance timing (default: None)

4. Integration with BLISLUFactorization
   - Added detailed logging to the BLIS extension
   - Includes timing and error interpretation

5. Comprehensive documentation
   - Updated verbosity documentation with new BLAS options
   - Added section on BLAS/LAPACK return codes
   - Examples demonstrating enhanced logging capabilities

6. Tests
   - Added test suite for BLAS return code interpretation
   - Tests for different error categories
   - Verbosity integration tests

This enhancement makes debugging numerical issues much easier by providing
clear, actionable information when BLAS/LAPACK operations encounter problems.

+### BLAS/LAPACK Return Code Interpretation
+
+LinearSolve.jl now provides detailed interpretation of BLAS/LAPACK return codes (info parameter) to help diagnose numerical issues. When BLAS/LAPACK operations encounter problems, the logging system will provide human-readable explanations based on the specific return code and operation.
+
+#### Common BLAS/LAPACK Return Codes
+
+- **info = 0**: Operation completed successfully
+- **info < 0**: Argument -info had an illegal value (e.g., wrong dimensions, invalid parameters)
+- **info > 0**: Operation-specific issues:
+  - **LU factorization (getrf)**: U(info,info) is exactly zero, matrix is singular
+  - **Cholesky factorization (potrf)**: Leading minor of order info is not positive definite
+  - **QR factorization (geqrf)**: Numerical issues with Householder reflector info
+  - **SVD (gesdd/gesvd)**: Algorithm failed to converge, info off-diagonal elements did not converge
+  - **Eigenvalue computation (syev/heev)**: info off-diagonal elements did not converge to zero
+  - **Bunch-Kaufman (sytrf/hetrf)**: D(info,info) is exactly zero, matrix is singular
+
+#### Example Usage with Enhanced BLAS Logging
+
+```julia
+using LinearSolve
+
+# Enable detailed BLAS error logging
+verbose = LinearVerbosity(
+    blas_errors = Verbosity.Info(),  # Show detailed error interpretations
+    blas_timing = Verbosity.Info(),  # Show performance metrics
+    blas_info = Verbosity.Info()     # Show all BLAS operation details
+)
+
+# Solve a potentially singular system
+A = [1.0 2.0; 2.0 4.0]  # Singular matrix
+b = [1.0, 2.0]
+prob = LinearProblem(A, b)
+sol = solve(prob, LUFactorization(); verbose=verbose)
+
+# The logging will show:
+# - BLAS/LAPACK dgetrf: Matrix is singular
+# - Details: U(2,2) is exactly zero. The factorization has been completed, but U is singular
+# - Return code (info): 2
+# - Additional context: matrix size, condition number, memory usage
+```
+
+The enhanced logging also provides:
+- Matrix properties (size, type, condition number when feasible)
+- Memory usage estimates
+- Performance timing for BLAS operations (when blas_timing is enabled)
+- Detailed context for debugging numerical issues

Subject: [PATCH 2/5] Remove BLAS timing and make logging more efficient
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Based on review feedback:

1. Removed all BLAS timing functionality
   - Removed time_blas_operation function
   - Removed blas_timing verbosity setting
   - Removed timing from documentation and tests

2. Made get_blas_operation_info conditional on logging
   - Only calls get_blas_operation_info when logging is actually enabled
   - Avoids unnecessary computation when logging is disabled

3. Made condition number computation optional
   - Added compute_condition parameter (default: false)
   - Only computes condition number when explicitly requested
   - Avoids expensive computation for large matrices

4. Updated BLISLUFactorization extension
   - Removed timing calls
   - Only gathers operation info when needed for logging
   - More efficient checking of verbosity levels

5. Updated documentation
   - Removed all references to timing functionality
   - Documented optional condition number computation

6. Updated tests
   - Removed timing tests
   - Added tests for optional condition number computation

These changes make the logging more efficient by avoiding
unnecessary computations when logging is disabled.

Subject: [PATCH 3/5] Use @SciMLMessage macro and add condition_number
 verbosity setting
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Based on review feedback:

1. Replaced direct logging with @SciMLMessage macro
   - Updated log_blas_info to use @SciMLMessage with proper syntax
   - Structured log messages with appropriate categories and groups
   - Removed direct @info/@warn calls

2. Added condition_number as a separate verbosity setting
   - Added condition_number to LinearNumericalVerbosity struct
   - Condition number computation now controlled by verbosity setting
   - Default is Verbosity.None() to avoid expensive computation

3. Fixed verbosity checks
   - Use verbosity_to_int() for proper verbosity level checking
   - Ensures correct comparison with Verbosity.None()

4. Updated BLISLUFactorization extension
   - Uses @SciMLMessage for success messages
   - Proper verbosity checks before computing operation info
   - Only calls get_blas_operation_info when logging is enabled

5. Updated documentation
   - Added condition_number verbosity setting documentation
   - Clarified that condition number is controlled by verbosity

6. Updated tests
   - Tests now use verbosity parameter for condition number control
   - Verifies condition number is not computed when disabled

These changes ensure efficient logging with proper use of the
SciMLLogging infrastructure and make condition number computation
a controllable option.
