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
ompi: 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.

2. fix a bug in the initial communicator creation of llcomm
3. fix a bug which showed up as the result of fixing issue number 2: we have
to check now whether llcomm has really be created before freeing the
according llcomm in hierarch_destruct.

generate an overlap between the different layers. Why four versions? Because
there is right now always the trade-off between using non-blocking operations
on a layer with a trivial, linear algorithm and using the more sophisticaed
algorithms in a blocking manner.
- bcast_intra_seg used the bcast of lcomm and llcomm, similarly
to original algorithm in hierarch. However, it can segment
the message, such that we might get an overlap between the two
layers. This overlap is based on the assumption, that a process
might be done early with a bcast and can start the next one.
- bcast_intra_seg1: replaces the llcomm->bcast by isend/irecvs
to increase the overlap, keeps the lcomm->bcast however
- bcast_intra_seg2: replaced lcomm->bcast by isend/irecvs
to increase the overlap, keeps however llcomm->bcast
- bcast_intra_seg3: replaced both lcomm->bcast and llcomm->bcast
by isend/irecvs
The code is lightly tested, more testing to follow right now.

* add "register" function to mca_base_component_t
* converted coll:basic and paffinity:linux and paffinity:solaris to
use this function
* we'll convert the rest over time (I'll file a ticket once all
this is committed)
* add 32 bytes of "reserved" space to the end of mca_base_component_t
and mca_base_component_data_2_0_0_t to make future upgrades
[slightly] easier
* new mca_base_component_t size: 196 bytes
* new mca_base_component_data_2_0_0_t size: 36 bytes
* MCA base version bumped to v2.0
* '''We now refuse to load components that are not MCA v2.0.x'''
* all MCA frameworks versions bumped to v2.0
* be a little more explicit about version numbers in the MCA base
* add big comment in mca.h about versioning philosophy

hierarch disables itself now if the pml module used is *not* ob1. The reason
is, that the multi-level hierarchy detection algorithm checks the names of the
btl modules used. In case there are no btl's, we would segfault.
Furthermore, three minor changes:
- the 2-level hierarchy detection is now the default (sm vs. everything else
in the world).
- add udapl to the list of protocols checked for by the multi-level hierarch detection
- some of the verbose statements of hierarch were inaccurate. Fixed those comments/messages.

(sometimes after the merge with the ORTE branch), the opal_pointer_array
will became the only pointer_array implementation (the orte_pointer_array
will be removed).
This commit was SVN r17007.
This merge adds Checkpoint/Restart support to Open MPI. The initial
frameworks and components support a LAM/MPI-like implementation.
This commit follows the risk assessment presented to the Open MPI core
development group on Feb. 22, 2007.
This commit closes trac:158

- move files out of toplevel include/ and etc/, moving it into the
sub-projects
- rather than including config headers with <project>/include,
have them as <project>
- require all headers to be included with a project prefix, with
the exception of the config headers ({opal,orte,ompi}_config.h
mpi.h, and mpif.h)

modules, if its priority is zero (the default value). Reason for that is
+ if there is no other module with a priority > 0, the hierarchical
collective module has a problem anyway, since it has to rely on the coll
modules of the subcommunicators. On the other hand, if its priority is
zero, it won't be chosen anyway, and we can simply save the
allreduce/allgather and comm_split operations which might occur during
hierarchy detection.
+ to improve the startup times until we have the modex thing which we
discussed with Jeff and Tim in Knoxville in place
- adding an mca parameter indicating a symmetric configuration. This can
speed up startup times, since each process can conclude from its data onto
the data of the other processes -> no need for the allreduce operations. Per
default this parameter is set to "no".

- update the hierarch stuff to use btl's instead of ptl's
- start the new logic regarding how to handle local leader communicators

- After long discussions and ruminations on how we run components in
LAM/MPI, made the decision that, by default, all components included
in Open MPI will use the version number of their parent project
(i.e., OMPI or ORTE). They are certaint free to use a different
number, but this simplification makes the common cases easy:
- components are only released when the parent project is released
- it is easy (trivial?) to distinguish which version component goes
with with version of the parent project
- removed all autogen/configure code for templating the version .h
file in components
- made all ORTE components use ORTE_*_VERSION for version numbers
- made all OMPI components use OMPI_*_VERSION for version numbers
- removed all VERSION files from components
- configure now displays OPAL, ORTE, and OMPI version numbers
- ditto for ompi_info
- right now, faking it -- OPAL and ORTE and OMPI will always have the
same version number (i.e., they all come from the same top-level
VERSION file). But this paves the way for the Great Configure
Reorganization, where, among other things, each project will have
its own version number.
So all in all, we went from a boatload of version numbers to
[effectively] three. That's pretty good. :-)
