the new grouping option simple+ performs all calculations used
for the aggregator selection as if the default file view would be used,
thus avoiding communication in file_set_view all together. This mode
is useful for applications that do not set a file view, but use
explicit offset operations on the default file view.

The expected sequence of events for processing info during object creation
is that if there's an incoming info arg, it is opal_info_dup()ed into the obj
at obj->s_info first. Then interested components register callbacks for
keys they want to know about using opal_infosubscribe_infosubscribe().
Inside info_subscribe_subscribe() the specified callback() is called with
whatever matching k/v is in the object's info, or with the default. The
return string from the callback goes into the new k/v stored in info, and
the input k/v is saved as __IN_<key>/<val>. It's saved the same way
whether the input came from info or whether it was a default. A null return
from the callback indicates an ignored key/val, and no k/v is stored for
it, but an __IN_<key>/<val> is still kept so we still have access to the
original.
At MPI_*_set_info() time, opal_infosubscribe_change_info() is used. That
function calls the registered callbacks for each item in the provided info.
If the callback returns non-null, the info is updated with that k/v, or if
the callback returns null, that key is deleted from info. An __IN_<key>/<val>
is saved either way, and overwrites any previously saved value.
When MPI_*_get_info() is called, opal_info_dup_mpistandard() is used, which
allows relatively easy changes in interpretation of the standard, by looking
at both the <key>/<val> and __IN_<key>/<val> in info. Right now it does
1. includes system extras, eg k/v defaults not expliclty set by the user
2. omits ignored keys
3. shows input values, not callback modifications, eg not the internal values
Currently the callbacks are doing things like
return some_condition ? "true" : "false"
that is, returning static strings that are not to be freed. If the return
strings start becoming more dynamic in the future I don't see how unallocated
strings could support that, so I'd propose a change for the future that
the callback()s registered with info_subscribe_subscribe() do a strdup on
their return, and we change the callers of callback() to free the strings
it returns (there are only two callers).
Rough outline of the smaller changes spread over the less central files:
comm.c
initialize comm->super.s_info to NULL
copy into comm->super.s_info in comm creation calls that provide info
OBJ_RELEASE comm->super.s_info at free time
comm_init.c
initialize comm->super.s_info to NULL
file.c
copy into file->super.s_info if file creation provides info
OBJ_RELEASE file->super.s_info at free time
win.c
copy into win->super.s_info if win creation provides info
OBJ_RELEASE win->super.s_info at free time
comm_get_info.c
file_get_info.c
win_get_info.c
change_info() if there's no info attached (shouldn't happen if callbacks
are registered)
copy the info for the user
The other category of change is generally addressing compiler warnings where
ompi_info_t and opal_info_t were being used a little too interchangably. An
ompi_info_t* contains an opal_info_t*, at &(ompi_info->super)
Also this commit updates the copyrights.

ompi_communicator_t, ompi_win_t, ompi_file_t all have a super class of type opal_infosubscriber_t instead of a base/super type of opal_object_t (in previous code comm used c_base, but file used super). It may be a bit bold to say that being a subscriber of MPI_Info is the foundational piece that ties these three things together, but if you object, then I would prefer to turn infosubscriber into a more general name that encompasses other common features rather than create a different super class. The key here is that we want to be able to pass comm, win and file objects as if they were opal_infosubscriber_t, so that one routine can heandle all 3 types of objects being passed to it.
MPI_INFO_NULL is still an ompi_predefined_info_t type since an MPI_Info is part of ompi but the internal details of the underlying information concept is part of opal.
An ompi_info_t type still exists for exposure to the user, but it is simply a wrapper for the opal object.
Routines such as ompi_info_dup, etc have all been moved to opal_info_dup and related to the opal directory.
Fortran to C translation tables are only used for MPI_Info that is exposed to the application and are therefore part of the ompi_info_t and not the opal_info_t
The data structure changes are primarily in the following files:
communicator/communicator.h
ompi/info/info.h
ompi/win/win.h
ompi/file/file.h
The following new files were created:
opal/util/info.h
opal/util/info.c
opal/util/info_subscriber.h
opal/util/info_subscriber.c
This infosubscriber concept is that communicators, files and windows can have subscribers that subscribe to any changes in the info associated with the comm/file/window. When xxx_set_info is called, the new info is presented to each subscriber who can modify the info in any way they want. The new value is presented to the next subscriber and so on until all subscribers have had a chance to modify the value. Therefore, the order of subscribers can make a difference but we hope that there is generally only one subscriber that cares or modifies any given key/value pair. The final info is then stored and returned by a call to xxx_get_info.
The new model can be seen in the following files:
ompi/mpi/c/comm_get_info.c
ompi/mpi/c/comm_set_info.c
ompi/mpi/c/file_get_info.c
ompi/mpi/c/file_set_info.c
ompi/mpi/c/win_get_info.c
ompi/mpi/c/win_set_info.c
The current subscribers where changed as follows:
mca/io/ompio/io_ompio_file_open.c
mca/io/ompio/io_ompio_module.c
mca/osc/rmda/osc_rdma_component.c (This one actually subscribes to "no_locks")
mca/osc/sm/osc_sm_component.c (This one actually subscribes to "blocking_fence" and "alloc_shared_contig")

this commit brings over the behavior from the 2.x series to master, mostly with the fork for the 3.x series in mind.
Also, use strncasecmp instead of two strncmps

Revert the logic of io_ompio_sharedfp_lazy_open. The user now has to explicitely
disable shared fp in order for the structures not to be allocated.
Otherwise, resetting the shared fp e.g. in case the file was opened
in append mode will not work correctly, the code could deadlock.

- some application use MPI_File_delete as a collective function (e.g. IOR), which I think is not really covered by the standard. Right now, one process succeeds and theother ones return an error code. Fix that by not returning no error if the file that we try to delete does not exist anymore, to make these applications work.
soon:
- add a new abstraction layer to be used internally for some operations
- add a new mca parameter to control lazy intialization of shared file
pointer structures
This commit was SVN r28826.
Features:
- Support for an override parameter file (openmpi-mca-param-override.conf).
Variable values in this file can not be overridden by any file or environment
value.
- Support for boolean, unsigned, and unsigned long long variables.
- Support for true/false values.
- Support for enumerations on integer variables.
- Support for MPIT scope, verbosity, and binding.
- Support for command line source.
- Support for setting variable source via the environment using
OMPI_MCA_SOURCE_<var name>=source (either command or file:filename)
- Cleaner API.
- Support for variable groups (equivalent to MPIT categories).
Notes:
- Variables must be created with a backing store (char **, int *, or bool *)
that must live at least as long as the variable.
- Creating a variable with the MCA_BASE_VAR_FLAG_SETTABLE enables the use of
mca_base_var_set_value() to change the value.
- String values are duplicated when the variable is registered. It is up to
the caller to free the original value if necessary. The new value will be
freed by the mca_base_var system and must not be freed by the user.
- Variables with constant scope may not be settable.
- Variable groups (and all associated variables) are deregistered when the
component is closed or the component repository item is freed. This
prevents a segmentation fault from accessing a variable after its component
is unloaded.
- After some discussion we decided we should remove the automatic registration
of component priority variables. Few component actually made use of this
feature.
- The enumerator interface was updated to be general enough to handle
future uses of the interface.
- The code to generate ompi_info output has been moved into the MCA variable
system. See mca_base_var_dump().
opal: update core and components to mca_base_var system
orte: update core and components to mca_base_var system

This commit also modifies the rmaps framework. The following variables were
moved from ppr and lama: rmaps_base_pernode, rmaps_base_n_pernode,
rmaps_base_n_persocket. Both lama and ppr create synonyms for these variables.
