the output of ompi_info.
A variable is disabled if its component will never be selected due to
a component selection parameter (eg. -mca btl self). The old behavior
of ompi_info was to not print these parameters at all. Now we print the
parameters. After some discussion with George it was decided that there
needed to be some way to see what parameters will not be used. This was
the comprimise.
This commit also fixes a bug and a typo in the pvar sytem. The enum_count
value in mca_base_pvar_dump was being used without being set. The full_name
in mca_base_pvar_t was not being used.

This commit adds an API for registering and querying performance
variables (mca_base_pvar) in the MCA base. The existing MCA variable
system API has been updated to reflect the new API: MCA variable
groups have performance variables, and new types have been added (double,
unsigned long long) to reflect what is required by the MPI_T
interface. Additionally, the MCA variable group code has been split
into its own set of files: mca_base_var_group.[ch].
Details of the new API can be found in doxygen comments in the header:
mca_base_pvar.h.
Other changes to the variable system:
- Use an opal_hash_table to speed up variable/group lookup.
- Clean up code associated with MCA variable types.
- Registered performance variables are printed by ompi_info -a. In the
future an option should be added to control this behavior.
Changes to OMPI:
- Added full support for the MPI_T performance variable interface.
This commit was SVN r28800.
Add an option to ompi_info (-l, --level) that takes a number in the
interval (1,9). Only MCA variables up to this level will be printed.
The default level is 1.
Print the level as part of both the parsable and readable output.
This commit was SVN r28750.
Other changes:
- Added a flag to the MCA variable system to indicate a variable should go away
when its group does. Both mca_base_framework_var_register() and
mca_base_component_var_register() set this flag.
Notes:
- mca_base_components_open is deprecated. It will be removed in a future commit.
- All frameworks should use MCA_BASE_FRAMEWORK_DECLARE to declare their
framework structure.
- All calls to framework open/close functions should be changed to use the
mca_base_framework_* functions.
- Instead of special-casing installdirs a flag was added to prevent calling
into the variable system when opening a framework.
- Ralph: Clarify the functional definition of the "register" function in the
MCA framework object - it had the same name as another function that does a
totally different thing.
- As per discussion with Ralph the behavior of mca_base_framework_register()
is to always call mca_base_framework_components_register() if the framework's
register function was successful. This removed the need for frameworks to
have to call this function directly.
This commit was SVN r28237.
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().

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.
This commit was SVN r28236.
The old behavior of mca_base_param_deregister could cause the indices of other mca parameters to change. This could potentially cause problems if a mca user saves and later references an affected index.
This commit was SVN r27633.
Reasoning: The old behavior was a little confusing. mca_base_components_open does not open an output stream so it is a little unexpected that mca_base_components_close does. To add to this several frameworks (that don't use mca_base_components_close) failed to close their output in the framework close function and others closed their output a second time. This change is an improvement to the symantics of mca_base_components_open/close as they are now symetric in their functionality.

pml/v:
- If vprotocol is not being used vprotocol_include_list is leaked. Assume vprotocol never takes ownership (see below) and always free the string.
coll/ml:
- (patch verified) calling mca_base_param_lookup_string after mca_base_param_reg_string is unnecessary. The call to mca_base_param_lookup_string causes the value returned by mca_base_param_reg_string to be leaked.
- Need to free mca_coll_ml_component.config_file_name on component close.
btl/openib:
- calling mca_base_param_lookup_string after mca_base_param_reg_string is unnecessary. The call to mca_base_param_lookup_string causes the value returned by mca_base_param_reg_string to be leaked.
vprotocol/base:
- There was no way for pml/v to determine if vprotocol took ownership of vprotocol_include_list. Fix by always never ownership (use strdup).
mca/base:
- param_lookup will result in storage->stringval to be a newly allocated string if the mca parameter has a string value. ensure this string is always freed.

We ran into a case where the OMPI SVN trunk grew a new acceptable MCA
parameter value, but this new value was not accepted on the v1.6
branch (hwloc_base_mem_bind_failure_action -- on the trunk it accepts
the value "silent", but on the older v1.6 branch, it doesn't). If you
set "hwloc_base_mem_bind_failure_action=silent" in the default MCA
params file and then accidentally ran with the v1.6 branch, every OMPI
executable (including ompi_info) just failed because hwloc_base_open()
would say "hey, 'silent' is not a valid value for
hwloc_base_mem_bind_failure_action!". Kaboom.
The only problem is that it didn't give you any indication of where
this value was being set. Quite maddening, from a user perspective.
So we changed the ompi_info handles this case. If any framework open
function return OMPI_ERR_BAD_PARAM (either because its base MCA params
got a bad value or because one of its component register/open
functions return OMPI_ERR_BAD_PARAM), ompi_info will stop, print out
a warning that it received and error, and then dump out the parameters
that it has received so far in the framework that had a problem.
At a minimum, this will show the user the MCA param that had an error
(it's usually the last one), and ''where it was set from'' (so that
they can go fix it).
We updated ompi_info to check for O???_ERR_BAD_PARAM from each from
the framework opens. Also updated the doxygen docs in mca.h for this
O???_BAD_PARAM behavior. And we noticed that mca.h had MCA_SUCCESS
and MCA_ERR_??? codes. Why? I think we used them in exactly one
place in the code base (mca_base_components_open.c). So we deleted
those and just used the normal OPAL_* codes instead.
While we were doing this, we also cleaned up a little memory
management during ompi_info/orte-info/opal-info finalization.
Valgrind still reports a truckload of memory still in use at ompi_info
termination, but they mostly look to be components not freeing
memory/resources properly (and outside the scope of this fix).

to make MPI_IN_PLACE (and other sentinel Fortran constants) work on OS
X, we need to use the following compiler (linker) flag:
-Wl,-commons,use_dylibs
So if we're compiling on OS X, test to see if that flag works with the
compiler. If so, add it to the wrapper FFLAGS and FCFLAGS (note that
per a future update, we'll only have one Fortran compiler anyway).

I am making a final decision to decide the behavior of what happens
when an MCA parameter is re-registered and changes types. In
developer builds (i.e., OPAL_ENABLE_DEBUG==1), a show_help message
will be displayed. In all builds, an error status will be returned.
Specifically, the logic looks like this:
{{{
if (detect_re-registration_with_type_change) {
#if OPAL_ENABLE_DEBUG
opal_show_help(...);
#endif
return OPAL_ERR_VALUE_OUT_OF_BOUNDS;
}
}}}
If someone would like to change this behavior, they are welcome to do
so. :-) I am committing this so that ''some'' action occurs (rather
than talking about the issue and then nothing happens).

handled properly when MCA parameters are re-registered and their types
change. Specifically, this case was broken:
1. Register an int MCA param with a non-zero default value
1. Re-register the same MCA param as a string with a NULL default value
The 2nd step would cause a segv because the first int default value
wasn't being reset properly. Here's sample code that shows the issue:
{{{
{
int ibogus;
char *sbogus;
opal_init(&argc, &argv);
mca_base_param_reg_int_name("type", "name", "help", false, false, 3, &ibogus);
printf("Ibogus: %d\n", ibogus);
mca_base_param_reg_string_name("type", "name", "help", false, false, NULL, &sbogus);
printf("Sbogus: %s\n", (NULL == sbogus) ? "NULL" : sbogus);
exit(0);
}
}}}
This commit fixes the problem from the sample code above as well as
the a similar issue for file-set MCA params and override values. It
also resets default values for MCA params initially registered as a
string but then re-registered as an int.

specify btl_tcp_if_include because btl_tcp_if_exclude is defaulted to
the loopback devices.
This commit does a few things:
* Introduce a new OPAL MCA base function:
mca_base_param_check_exclusive_string(). It checks to see that the
''user'' does not set two MCA parameters that are mutually
exclusive by checking the source of those MCS param values.
* Use the above function in many BTLs (and the OOB TCP) to ensure
that <foo>_if_include and <foo>_if_exclude are not both specified
''by the user''.
* Re-arrange many of these BTLs to move their MCA registration code
into a separate component_register() function (vs. the
component_open() function).
This code has been nominally reviewed and checked by Ralph, George,
Terry, and Shiqing.

Please note that configure requirements on components HAVE CHANGED. For example. a configure.params file is no longer required in each component directory. See Jeff's emails for an explanation.

The fix is to just check if the return value is positive or not, since all the SOS encoded errors are *always* negative.
The real fix (as Ralph points out) is to change these functions (opal_pointer_array_add and mca_base_param*) to return the index as a pointer.
This commit was SVN r23173.
(OMPI_ERR_* = OPAL_SOS_GET_ERR_CODE(ret)), since the return value could be a
SOS-encoded error. The OPAL_SOS_GET_ERR_CODE() takes in a SOS error and returns
back the native error code.
* Since OPAL_SUCCESS is preserved by SOS, also change all calls of the form
(OPAL_ERROR == ret) to (OPAL_SUCCESS != ret). We thus avoid having to
decode 'ret' to get the native error code.
