* New "op" MPI layer framework
* Addition of the MPI_REDUCE_LOCAL proposed function (for MPI-2.2)
= Op framework =
Add new "op" framework in the ompi layer. This framework replaces the
hard-coded MPI_Op back-end functions for (MPI_Op, MPI_Datatype) tuples
for pre-defined MPI_Ops, allowing components and modules to provide
the back-end functions. The intent is that components can be written
to take advantage of hardware acceleration (GPU, FPGA, specialized CPU
instructions, etc.). Similar to other frameworks, components are
intended to be able to discover at run-time if they can be used, and
if so, elect themselves to be selected (or disqualify themselves from
selection if they cannot run). If specialized hardware is not
available, there is a default set of functions that will automatically
be used.
This framework is ''not'' used for user-defined MPI_Ops.
The new op framework is similar to the existing coll framework, in
that the final set of function pointers that are used on any given
intrinsic MPI_Op can be a mixed bag of function pointers, potentially
coming from multiple different op modules. This allows for hardware
that only supports some of the operations, not all of them (e.g., a
GPU that only supports single-precision operations).
All the hard-coded back-end MPI_Op functions for (MPI_Op,
MPI_Datatype) tuples still exist, but unlike coll, they're in the
framework base (vs. being in a separate "basic" component) and are
automatically used if no component is found at runtime that provides a
module with the necessary function pointers.
There is an "example" op component that will hopefully be useful to
those writing meaningful op components. It is currently
.ompi_ignore'd so that it doesn't impinge on other developers (it's
somewhat chatty in terms of opal_output() so that you can tell when
its functions have been invoked). See the README file in the example
op component directory. Developers of new op components are
encouraged to look at the following wiki pages:

= MPI_REDUCE_LOCAL =
Part of the MPI-2.2 proposal listed here:
https://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/ticket/24
is to add a new function named MPI_REDUCE_LOCAL. It is very easy to
implement, so I added it (also because it makes testing the op
framework pretty easy -- you can do it in serial rather than via
parallel reductions). There's even a man page!

* Add OMPI_F77_CHECK_REAL16_C_EQUV test whether REAL*16 is bit
equivalent to long double. AC_DEFINE OMPI_REAL16_MATCHES_C with
result (0 or 1).
* Update ompi_info to only show real16 support if
OMPI_REAL16_MATCHES_C is 1.
* Update DDT to only support REAL16 and COMPLEX32 if
1==OMPI_REAL16_MATCHES_C.
* MPI Op function pointer tabls will have NULL for the REAL16 and
COMPLEX32 entries if 0==OMPI_REAL16_MATCHES_C.
* Slightly cleaned up OMPI_F77_GET_ALIGNMENT and OMPI_F77_CHECK m4
tests (use OMPI_VAR_SCOPE_PUSH/POP).

* Make the creation of the build dir for the man pages a bit more
robust (thanks to suggestions from Ralf W.).
* Only distribute the .Xin files, not the .X man pages themselves.
* Make the .X files depend on opal_config.h so that if you re-run
configure and change opal_config.h (e.g., a new version), the man
pages should get rebuilt.
* Man pages are now cleaned with "distclean", not "maintainer-clean".
* Fix a typo in opal_crs.7in.
* Udpate make_dist_tarball to update "date" in the VERSION file.
* Make make_dist_tarball a bit friendlier to hg checkouts.

Lenny and I went back and forth on whether we should simply register
another "mpi_paffinity_alone" MCA param and then try to figure out
which one was set in ompi_mpi_init, but there was difficulty in
figuring out what to do. So it seemed like the Right Thing to do was
to implement what was committed in r18770; then we could tell where
MCA parameters were set from and you could do Better Things (this is
also useful in the openib BTL, where parameters can be set either via
MCA parameter or via an INI file).
But after that was done, it seemed only a few steps further to
actually implement two new features in the MCA params area:
* Synonyms (where one MCA param name is a synonym for another)
* Allow MCA params and/or their synonyms to be marked as "deprecated"
(printing out warnings if they are used)
These features have actually long been discussed/desired, and I had
some time in airports and airplanes recently where I could work in
this stuff on a standalone laptop. So I did it. :-)
This commit introduces these two new features, and then uses them to
register mpi_paffinity_alone as a non-deprecated synonym for
opal_paffinity_alone. A few other random points in this commit:
* Add a few error checks for conditions that were not checked before
* Correct some comments in mca_base_params.h
* Add a few comments in strategic places
* ompi_info now prints additional information:
* for any MCA parameter that has synonyms, it lists all the
synonyms
* synonyms are also output as 1st-class MCA params, but with an
additional attribute indicating that they have a "parent"
* all MCA param name (both "real" or "synonym") will output an
attribute indicating whether it is deprecated or not. A synonym
is deprecated if it iself is marked as deprecated (via the
mca_base_param_regist_syn() or mca_base_param_register_syn_name()
functions) or if its "parent" MCA parameter is deprecated

Some minor changes to help facilitate debugger support so that both mpirun and yod can operate with it. Still to be completed.
This commit was SVN r18664.
After much work by Jeff and myself, and quite a lot of discussion, it has become clear that we simply cannot resolve the infinite loops caused by RML-involved subsystems calling orte_output. The original rationale for the change to orte_output has also been reduced by shifting the output of XML-formatted vs human readable messages to an alternative approach.
I have globally replaced the orte_output/ORTE_OUTPUT calls in the code base, as well as the corresponding .h file name. I have test compiled and run this on the various environments within my reach, so hopefully this will prove minimally disruptive.
This commit was SVN r18619.
By consolidating them all into one function, ompi_info can call that function and register the desired variables. This also requires, however, that ompi_info call orte_output_init to avoid generating tons of error messages, so make that adjustment too.
Fixes ticket #1314
In addition, orte_output has a race condition issue whereby calls to orte_output/verbose can occur prior to either the RML being defined/setup, or the HNP being defined. This latter occurs during the initialization of the orte_process_info structure. In both cases, there is no way orte_output can send the output to the HNP. Hence, the message must be simply output locally.

= ORTE Job-Level Output Messages =
Add two new interfaces that should be used for all new code throughout
the ORTE and OMPI layers (we already make the search-and-replace on
the existing ORTE / OMPI layers):
* orte_output(): (and corresponding friends ORTE_OUTPUT,
orte_output_verbose, etc.) This function sends the output directly
to the HNP for processing as part of a job-specific output
channel. It supports all the same outputs as opal_output()
(syslog, file, stdout, stderr), but for stdout/stderr, the output
is sent to the HNP for processing and output. More on this below.
* orte_show_help(): This function is a drop-in-replacement for
opal_show_help(), with two differences in functionality:
1. the rendered text help message output is sent to the HNP for
display (rather than outputting directly into the process' stderr
stream)
1. the HNP detects duplicate help messages and does not display them
(so that you don't see the same error message N times, once from
each of your N MPI processes); instead, it counts "new" instances
of the help message and displays a message every ~5 seconds when
there are new ones ("I got X new copies of the help message...")
opal_show_help and opal_output still exist, but they only output in
the current process. The intent for the new orte_* functions is that
they can apply job-level intelligence to the output. As such, we
recommend that all new ORTE and OMPI code use the new orte_*
functions, not thei opal_* functions.
=== New code ===
For ORTE and OMPI programmers, here's what you need to do differently
in new code:
* Do not include opal/util/show_help.h or opal/util/output.h.
Instead, include orte/util/output.h (this one header file has
declarations for both the orte_output() series of functions and
orte_show_help()).
* Effectively s/opal_output/orte_output/gi throughout your code.
Note that orte_output_open() takes a slightly different argument
list (as a way to pass data to the filtering stream -- see below),
so you if explicitly call opal_output_open(), you'll need to
slightly adapt to the new signature of orte_output_open().
* Literally s/opal_show_help/orte_show_help/. The function signature
is identical.
=== Notes ===
* orte_output'ing to stream 0 will do similar to what
opal_output'ing did, so leaving a hard-coded "0" as the first
argument is safe.
* For systems that do not use ORTE's RML or the HNP, the effect of
orte_output_* and orte_show_help will be identical to their opal
counterparts (the additional information passed to
orte_output_open() will be lost!). Indeed, the orte_* functions
simply become trivial wrappers to their opal_* counterparts. Note
that we have not tested this; the code is simple but it is quite
possible that we mucked something up.
= Filter Framework =
Messages sent view the new orte_* functions described above and
messages output via the IOF on the HNP will now optionally be passed
through a new "filter" framework before being output to
stdout/stderr. The "filter" OPAL MCA framework is intended to allow
preprocessing to messages before they are sent to their final
destinations. The first component that was written in the filter
framework was to create an XML stream, segregating all the messages
into different XML tags, etc. This will allow 3rd party tools to read
the stdout/stderr from the HNP and be able to know exactly what each
text message is (e.g., a help message, another OMPI infrastructure
message, stdout from the user process, stderr from the user process,
etc.).
Filtering is not active by default. Filter components must be
specifically requested, such as:
{{{
$ mpirun --mca filter xml ...
}}}
There can only be one filter component active.
= New MCA Parameters =
The new functionality described above introduces two new MCA
parameters:
* '''orte_base_help_aggregate''': Defaults to 1 (true), meaning that
help messages will be aggregated, as described above. If set to 0,
all help messages will be displayed, even if they are duplicates
(i.e., the original behavior).
* '''orte_base_show_output_recursions''': An MCA parameter to help
debug one of the known issues, described below. It is likely that
this MCA parameter will disappear before v1.3 final.
= Known Issues =
* The XML filter component is not complete. The current output from
this component is preliminary and not real XML. A bit more work
needs to be done to configure.m4 search for an appropriate XML
library/link it in/use it at run time.
* There are possible recursion loops in the orte_output() and
orte_show_help() functions -- e.g., if RML send calls orte_output()
or orte_show_help(). We have some ideas how to fix these, but
figured that it was ok to commit before feature freeze with known
issues. The code currently contains sub-optimal workarounds so
that this will not be a problem, but it would be good to actually
solve the problem rather than have hackish workarounds before v1.3 final.

some cleanups and standardizations in the various */tools/*/
Makefile.am files. This commit:
* Somewhat simplify the tool Makefile.am's
* Makes the tool Makefile.am's consistent with each other (do similar

by older versions of AM (trunk requires AM >=1.10)

Some MPI C interface files saw some spacing changes to conform to the coding standards of Open MPI.
Changed MPI C interface files to use {{{OPAL_CR_ENTER_LIBRARY()}}} and {{{OPAL_CR_EXIT_LIBRARY()}}} instead of just {{{OPAL_CR_TEST_CHECKPOINT_READY()}}}. This will allow the checkpoint/restart system more flexibility in how it is to behave.
Fixed the configure check for {{{--enable-ft-thread}}} so it has a know dependance on {{{--enable-mpi-thread}}} (and/or {{{--enable-progress-thread}}}).
Added a line for Checkpoint/Restart support to {{{ompi_info}}}.
Added some options to choose at runtime whether or not to use the checkpoint polling thread. By default, if the user asked for it to be compiled in, then it is used. But some users will want the ability to toggle its use at runtime.
There are still some places for improvement, but the feature works correctly. As always with Checkpoint/Restart, it is compiled out unless explicitly asked for at configure time. Further, if it was configured in, then it is not used unless explicitly asked for by the user at runtime.

* Update MPI_WTICK / MPI_WTIME man pages:
* Fix C++ declarations
* Note that we may use better than gettimeofday() on some platforms
* Add "MPI_WTIME support" ("options:mpi-wtime") flag in ompi_info
output indicating whether we use "native" or "gettimeofday" for

methods (in order of precedence):
1. #pragma ident <ident string> (e.g., Intel and Sun)
1. #ident <ident string> (e.g., GCC)
1. static const char ident[] = <ident string> (all others)
By default, the ident string used is the standard Open MPI version string. Only
the following libraries will get the embedded version strings (e.g., DSOs will
not):
* libmpi.so
* libmpi_cxx.so
* libmpi_f77.so
* libopen-pal.so
* libopen-rte.so
* Added two new configure options:
* `--with-package-name="STRING"` (defaults to "Open MPI username@hostname
Distribution"). `STRING` is displayed by `ompi_info` next to the "Package"
heading.
* `--with-ident-string="STRING"` (defaults to the standard Open MPI version
string - e.g., X.Y.Zr######). `%VERSION%` will expand to the Open MPI
version string if it is supplied to this configure option.

environment variables corresopnding to framework MCA parameters so
that the opal MCA base loads '''all''' components (not just the ones
specified in the environment variables). This has the side-effect of
not showing the user's value when displaying the framework MCA
parameters via --param output. For example:
{{{
shell% setenv OMPI_MCA_btl foo
shell% ompi_info --param btl base
}}}
The above sequence would show a "<none>" value for the "btl" parameter
instead of "foo".
This commit restores the environment after we munge it to make the
loader load all components. Hence, the above command sequence will
show "foo" for the "btl" parameter value, not "<none>".

finally brings in functionality that is already on the 1.2 branch, and
was developed and tested in the v1.2ofed branch (and other places).
Short version of new features:
* Support for ibv_fork_init()
* Automatically fill in the openib BTL bandwidth value by
querying the HCA port
* Installdirs functionality
* Fixes to always use -I in the Fortran wrapper compilers (#924)
* Gleb's mpool updates
* Remove some kruft in btl/openib/configure.m4, therefore
fixing the harmless warnings noted in #665
* Bunches of updates to the Linux RPM spec file
I.e., effectively the same thing that r14411 brought to the v1.2
branch.
Also effectively brought in r14432 and r14433 (some fixes on top of
the original r14411 commit to v1.2). Still need to bring in the moral
equivalent of r14445 after this commit (fixes to installdirs).
