Any components not in the trunk, but in one of the effected frameworks *must* be
updated. Contact the list, look at the RFC, or look at the diff for how to do this.
Sorry for the early commit of this, but I wanted to get it in today (per RFC) and
didn't know if I would have a chance later today.
This commit was SVN r18381.
Modify grpcomm xcast so it now uses the selected routed module - eliminates cross-wiring of xcast and routing paths. Suboptimal at the moment, but better implementation is on its way.
Cleanup ignore properties on the new routed components.
This commit was SVN r18377.
Add two new API's to the routed framework - stub them out so that collaborators can work on them in various components without conflicts.
Remove a "finalize" from the select function that could cause problems as the component had not had its initialize called yet.
This commit was SVN r18369.
Update the rsh tree spawn capability so we spawn the next wave of daemons before launching our own local procs.
Add an ability to encode nodenames for large clusters with contiguous node name numbering schemes - this allows communication of all node names in a few bytes instead of tens-of-bytes/node.
This commit was SVN r18338.
The problem was caused by a bad ordering between the restart of the ORTE level tcp connections (in the OOB - out-of-band communication) and the Open MPI level tcp connections (BTLs). Before this commit ORTE would shutdown and restart the OOB completely before the OMPI level restarted its tcp connections. What would happen is that a socket descriptor used by the OMPI level on checkpoint was assigned to the ORTE level on restart. But the OMPI level had no knowledge that the socket descriptor it was previously using has been recycled so it closed it on restart. This caused the ORTE level to break as the newly created socket descriptor was closed without its knowledge.
The fix is to have the OMPI level shutdown tcp connections, allow the ORTE level to restart, and then allow the OMPi level to restart its connections. This seems obvious, and I'm surprised that this bug has not cropped up sooner. I'm confident that this specific problem has been fixed with this commit.
Thanks to Eric Roman and Tamer El Sayed for their help in identifying this problem, and patience while I was fixing it.
* Add a new state {{{OPAL_CRS_RESTART_PRE}}}. This state identifies when we are on the down slope of the INC (finalize-like) which is useful when you want to close, but not reopen a component set for fear of interfering with a lower level.
* Use this new state in OMPI level coordination. Here we want to make sure to play well with both the OMPI/BTL/TCP and ORTE/OOB/TCP components.
* Update ft_event functions in PML and BML to handle the new restart state.
* Add an additional flag to the error output in OOB/TCP so we can see what the socket descriptor was on failure as this can be helpful in debugging.

We were mistakenly computing the local_rank across -all- jobs with procs on that node. While the two definitions are equivalent for an initial launch, comm_spawn'd procs would get the wrong local_rank. In particular, there would not be a local_rank=0 proc in the comm_spawn'd job on any node that was shared with the initial job.
This commit was SVN r18263.
Fix a potential problem with RM-provided nodenames not matching returns from gethostname - ensure that the HNP's nodename gets DNS-resolved when comparing against RM-provided hostnames. Note that this may be an issue for RM-based clusters that don't have local DNS resolution, but hopefully that is more indicative of a poorly configured system.

Restore the "do-not-launch" functionality so users can test a mapping without launching it.
Add a "do-not-resolve" cmd line flag to mpirun so the opal/util/if.c code does not attempt to resolve network addresses, thus enabling a user to test a hostfile mapping without hanging on network resolve requests.
Add a function to hostfile to generate an ordered list of host names from a hostfile
This commit was SVN r18190.
Fix the ompi-server -h cmd line option so it actually tells you something!
Add two new testing codes to the orte/test/mpi area: accept and connect.
This commit was SVN r18176.
Like btl_tcp_disable_family, this parameter more or less disables
a whole address family. Though the sockets are still created, the
corresponding information isn't added to the connection strings.
Likewise, we don't try to connect to addresses matching the disabled
address family.
This is particularly important for multidomain clusters, where IPv4 is
oftenly filtered (firewalled), sometimes by simply dropping the packets
instead of rejecting them (thus causing a connection timeout instead of
a quick "no route to host").
This commit was SVN r18163.
Add the daemon map capability to the ODLS to create and save a map of daemon vpid vs nodename from the launch message.
Cleanup a few places in the base plm launch support where we didn't adequately protect rml recv's from potentially executing sends.

The bug was a race condition in the barrier operation that caused the barrier in MPI_Finalize to fail on very short programs.
Scalaiblity was improved by using the daemons to aggregate modex and barrier messages before sending them to the rank=0 proc. Improvement is proportional to ppn, of course, but there really wasn't a scaling problem at low ppn anyway. This modification also paves the way for better allgather operations since now all the data for each node is sitting at the daemon level, and the daemons are now aware that a collective operation on the OOB is underway (so they -can- participate in a collective of their own to support it).
Also added better diagnostics to map out the timing associated with MPI_Init - turned on by -mca orte_timing 1.

Event uninit_use: Using uninitialized value "rc"
Instead of initializing rc in the beginning, rather use return value
of opal_hash_table_set_value_uint32.
This commit was SVN r17976.
Specifically, add two new APIs:
1. lost_route: allows the OOB to report that a connection has failed, thereby giving the routed module an opportunity to respond appropriately to its topology. Creating the API also allows each routed component to hold its own definition of "lifeline" - in some cases, this may be a single connection, but in others it may be multiple connections. Some modules may choose to re-route messaging if the lifeline or any other connection is lost, while others may choose to abort the job.
Both the tree and unity modules retain the current behavior and abort the job if the lifeline connection is lost, while ignoring other lost connections.
2. get_wireup_info: returns (in a provided buffer) info required to wireup connections for the specified job. Some routed modules do not need to return any info as they can wireup via alternative means, while some need to xchg data with their peers. If info is inserted into the buffer, the plm_base_launch_apps function will xcast the contents to the specified job.
The commit also removes the "lifeline" entry from the orte_process_info struct (and the associated ORTE_PROC_MY_LIFELINE definition) as the lifeline info is now contained within the respective routed module.
This commit was SVN r17969.
Clarify the setting of send_first in the mpi bindings (trivial, i know, but helpful)
Remove the extra xcast of child contact info to the parent job.

This has been a long-time problem. I tried to reduce the problem by having the orteds tell the HNP they were finalizing, and having the HNP wait until all orteds had reported or we timed out.
What was observed was that all the orteds were correctly reporting that they are leaving, but the HNP is able to exit before the orteds, thus closing the orteds lifeline socket and generating the error output. This is caused by the fact that the orteds have to whack all remaining session directories, which includes that blasted monster shared memory file! Cleaning up the SM file can take quite a while.
The HNP doesn't have that problem as there is no SM file there! So it gets out first.
What we had done in the past to resolve that problem was put a little test in the OOB that checks to see if we are finalizing. If we are, then we ignore the lifeline connection being lost. That check was still in the code - however, we had lost the line in orte_finalize that set the flag!!
This commit was SVN r17893.
Fix race conditions in abnormal terminations. We had done a first-cut at this in a prior commit. However, the window remained partially open due to the fact that the HNP has multiple paths leading to orte_finalize. Most of our frameworks don't care if they are finalized more than once, but one of them does, which meant we segfaulted if orte_finalize got called more than once. Besides, we really shouldn't be doing that anyway.
So we now introduce a set of atomic locks that prevent us from multiply calling abort, attempting to call orte_finalize, etc. My initial tests indicate this is working cleanly, but since it is a race condition issue, more testing will have to be done before we know for sure that this problem has been licked.
Also, some updates relevant to the tool comm library snuck in here. Since those also touched the orted code (as did the prior changes), I didn't want to attempt to separate them out - besides, they are coming in soon anyway. More on them later as that functionality approaches completion.
This commit was SVN r17843.
Comm_spawn was sticking during spawn_multiple because of a problem in the dpm - the modex there is asking processes to talk to each other in an allgather_list operation, but the procs don't have the required contact info to do so. The solution here was to ensure that all parent procs have full contact info for procs in the child job.
Admittedly, this isn't the long-term answer. We would like to have the contact info given to only the parent procs that were involved in the comm_spawn. There is a way to do that, but this will suffice to keep things working until that can be implemented and tested.
This commit was SVN r17772.
Ensure that direct xcast handles all its use-cases correctly.
Unity routed component needs to use the base recv function to properly operate.
This commit was SVN r17764.
This commit adds definition for a "lifeline" connection. For an HNP, there is no lifeline, so the lifeline proc is NULL. For a daemon, the lifeline is the HNP - the daemon should abort if it loses that connection.
For a proc using unity routed, the lifeline is the HNP since it connects directly to the HNP.
For a proc using tree routed, the lifeline is the local daemon.
Adjusted OOB to call abort if the lifeline (as opposed to HNP) connection is lost.
This commit was SVN r17761.
The change also:
- cleans up and simplifies the command line processing code
- adds an error output if more than one hostfile passed for a single app context
- gets rid of the superfluous orte_app_context_map_t type, and instead use a simple argv of -host options

This commit was SVN r17655.
Basically, the method employed here is to have a recv create a zero-time timer event that causes the event library to execute a function that processes the message once the recv returns. Thus, any action taken as a result of processing the message occur outside of a recv.
Created two new macros to assist:
ORTE_MESSAGE_EVENT: creates the zero-time event, passing info in a new orte_message_event_t object
ORTE_PROGRESSED_WAIT: while waiting for specified conditions, just calls progress so messages can be recv'd.
Also fixed the failed_launch function as we no longer block in the orted callback function. Updated the error messages to reflect revision. No change in API to this function, but PLM "owners" may want to check their internal error messages to avoid duplication and excessive output.
This has been tested on Mac, TM, and SLURM.

If we cannot resolve the route to the peer that we're trying to send
to, don't queue up the message in the TCP OOB -- instead, return it to
the upper layer (e.g., the RML) and let it decide what to do.
In the case of the routed RML, the tree component will queue it up for
later transmission. Hence, we don't want the message queued up both
here in the TCP OOB and the tree routed. Also see some more
discussion / explanation in #1171.

Note that this means ALL procs in the parent job are updated, even though they may not be participating in the comm_spawn. This doesn't really hurt anything - just unnecessary.
Comm_spawn still has a problem when a child process shares a node with a parent, so this doesn't fix everything. It only fixes the bug of ensuring all procs know how to talk to each other.
This commit was SVN r16460.
This commit introduces the necessary logic to avoid that conflict. If a PLS component can identify that a daemon has failed, then we will set a flag indicating that fact. The xcast system will subsequently check that flag and, if it is set, will send all messages direct to the recipient. In the case of "kill local procs" and "terminate", the messages will go directly to each orted, thus bypassing any orted that has failed.
In addition, the xcast system will -not- wait for the messages to complete, but will return immediately (i.e., operate in non-blocking mode). Orterun will wait (via an event timer) for a period of time based on the number of daemons in the system to allow the messages to attempt to be delivered - at the end of that time, orterun will simply exit, alerting the user to the problem and -strongly- recommending they run orte-clean.
I could only test this on slurm for the case where all daemons unexpectedly died - srun apparently only executes its waitpid callback when all launched functions terminate. I have asked that Jeff integrate this capability into the OOB as he is working on it so that we execute it whenever a socket to an orted is unexpectedly closed. Meantime, the functionality will rarely get called, but at least the logic is available for anyone whose environment can support it.

1. taking advantage of the fact that we no longer create the launch message via a GPR trigger. In earlier times, we had the GPR create the launch message based on a subscription. In that mode of operation, we could not guarantee the order in which the data was stored in the message - hence, we had no choice but to parse the message in a loop that checked each value against a list of possible "keys" until the corresponding value was found.
Now, however, we construct the message "by hand", so we know precisely what data is in each location in the message. Thus, we no longer need to send the character string "keys" for each data value any more. This represents a rather large savings in the message size - to give you an example, we typically would use a 30-char "key" for a 2-byte data value. As you can see, the overhead can become very large.
2. sending node-specific data only once. Again, because we used to construct the message via subscriptions that were done on a per-proc basis, the data for each node (e.g., the daemon's name, whether or not the node was oversubscribed) would be included in the data for each proc. Thus, the node-specific data was repeated for every proc.
Now that we construct the message "by hand", there is no reason to do this any more. Instead, we can insert the data for a specific node only once, and then provide the per-proc data for that node. We therefore not only save all that extra data in the message, but we also only need to parse the per-node data once.
The savings become significant at scale. Here is a comparison between the revised trunk and the trunk prior to this commit (all data was taken on odin, using openib, 64 nodes, unity message routing, tested with application consisting of mpi_init/mpi_barrier/mpi_finalize, all execution times given in seconds, all launch message sizes in bytes):
Per-node scaling, taken at 1ppn:
#nodes original trunk revised trunk
time size time size
1 0.10 819 0.09 564
2 0.14 1070 0.14 677
3 0.15 1321 0.14 790
4 0.15 1572 0.15 903
8 0.17 2576 0.20 1355
16 0.25 4584 0.21 2259
32 0.28 8600 0.27 4067
64 0.50 16632 0.39 7683
Per-proc scaling, taken at 64 nodes
ppn original trunk revised trunk
time size time size
1 0.50 16669 0.40 7720
2 0.55 32733 0.54 11048
3 0.87 48797 0.81 14376
4 1.0 64861 0.85 17704
Condensing those numbers, it appears we gained:
per-node message size: 251 bytes/node -> 113 bytes/node
per-proc message size: 251 bytes/proc -> 52 bytes/proc
per-job message size: 568 bytes/job -> 399 bytes/job
(job-specific data such as jobid, override oversubscribe flag, total #procs in job, total slots allocated)
The fact that the two pre-commit trunk numbers are the same confirms the fact that each proc was containing the node data as well. It isn't quite the 10x message reduction I had hoped to get, but it is significant and gives much better scaling.
Note that the timing info was, as usual, pretty chaotic - the numbers cited here were typical across several runs taken after the initial one to avoid NFS file positioning influences.
Also note that this commit removes the orte_process_info.vpid_start field and the handful of places that passed that useless value. By definition, all jobs start at vpid=0, so all we were doing is passing "0" around. In fact, many places simply hardwired it to "0" anyway rather than deal with it.

This commit was SVN r16422.
This patch also fixes a minor bug discovered along the way: we had "lost" the passing of the oversubscribed condition flag from the mapper to the orteds. Thus, we were not setting sched_yield correctly when in oversubscribed conditions (except when a hostfile was specified - different logic there because we treat the number of slots allocated on the node as "uncertain")
I did not modify the process component in this patch - I will send a proposed patch to the maintainers of that component so they can review it first.

* Fix some missing includes in a few places.
* Add the cr_request() functionality to the BLCR CRS component.
We are now dependent upon the 0.6.* series of BLCR.
* Made the CR notification mechanism a registered function.
This way we can have an OPAL-only version and it can be replaced at

CR functionality when the user wants it. Default: Disabled.
* Fix the placement of a checkpoint request check in MPI_Init
* Pull the OPAL notification mechanism into the SnapC framework.
* We no longer fork/exec the 'opal-checkpoint' command for local
checkpointing, the Local coordinator in the orted does this directly.
* The Local and Application coordinator talk together bypassing the OPAL
notifiation mechanism.
* Optimized the Local <-> App Coordinator communication.
* Improved the structure used to track vpid_snapshots in the local coord.
* Fix a race condition in which an application under heavy communication load
may produce an inconsistent global checkpoint.
This commit was SVN r16389.
The commit has been tested for C/R and Cray operations, and on Odin (SLURM, rsh) and RoadRunner (TM). I tried to update all environments, but obviously could not test them. I know that Windows needs some work, and have highlighted what is know to be needed in the odls process component.
This represents a lot of work by Brian, Tim P, Josh, and myself, with much advice from Jeff and others. For posterity, I have appended a copy of the email describing the work that was done:
As we have repeatedly noted, the modex operation in MPI_Init is the single greatest consumer of time during startup. To-date, we have executed that operation as an ORTE stage gate that held the process until a startup message containing all required modex (and OOB contact info - see #3 below) info could be sent to it. Each process would send its data to the HNP's registry, which assembled and sent the message when all processes had reported in.
In addition, ORTE had taken responsibility for monitoring process status as it progressed through a series of "stage gates". The process reported its status at each gate, and ORTE would then send a "release" message once all procs had reported in.
The incoming changes revamp these procedures in three ways:
1. eliminating the ORTE stage gate system and cleanly delineating responsibility between the OMPI and ORTE layers for MPI init/finalize. The modex stage gate (STG1) has been replaced by a collective operation in the modex itself that performs an allgather on the required modex info. The allgather is implemented using the orte_grpcomm framework since the BTL's are not active at that point. At the moment, the grpcomm framework only has a "basic" component analogous to OMPI's "basic" coll framework - I would recommend that the MPI team create additional, more advanced components to improve performance of this step.
The other stage gates have been replaced by orte_grpcomm barrier functions. We tried to use MPI barriers instead (since the BTL's are active at that point), but - as we discussed on the telecon - these are not currently true barriers so the job would hang when we fell through while messages were still in process. Note that the grpcomm barrier doesn't actually resolve that problem, but Brian has pointed out that we are unlikely to ever see it violated. Again, you might want to spend a little time on an advanced barrier algorithm as the one in "basic" is very simplistic.
Summarizing this change: ORTE no longer tracks process state nor has direct responsibility for synchronizing jobs. This is now done via collective operations within the MPI layer, albeit using ORTE collective communication services. I -strongly- urge the MPI team to implement advanced collective algorithms to improve the performance of this critical procedure.
2. reducing the volume of data exchanged during modex. Data in the modex consisted of the process name, the name of the node where that process is located (expressed as a string), plus a string representation of all contact info. The nodename was required in order for the modex to determine if the process was local or not - in addition, some people like to have it to print pretty error messages when a connection failed.
The size of this data has been reduced in three ways:
(a) reducing the size of the process name itself. The process name consisted of two 32-bit fields for the jobid and vpid. This is far larger than any current system, or system likely to exist in the near future, can support. Accordingly, the default size of these fields has been reduced to 16-bits, which means you can have 32k procs in each of 32k jobs. Since the daemons must have a vpid, and we require one daemon/node, this also restricts the default configuration to 32k nodes.
To support any future "mega-clusters", a configuration option --enable-jumbo-apps has been added. This option increases the jobid and vpid field sizes to 32-bits. Someday, if necessary, someone can add yet another option to increase them to 64-bits, I suppose.
(b) replacing the string nodename with an integer nodeid. Since we have one daemon/node, the nodeid corresponds to the local daemon's vpid. This replaces an often lengthy string with only 2 (or at most 4) bytes, a substantial reduction.
(c) when the mca param requesting that nodenames be sent to support pretty error messages, a second mca param is now used to request FQDN - otherwise, the domain name is stripped (by default) from the message to save space. If someone wants to combine those into a single param somehow (perhaps with an argument?), they are welcome to do so - I didn't want to alter what people are already using.
While these may seem like small savings, they actually amount to a significant impact when aggregated across the entire modex operation. Since every proc must receive the modex data regardless of the collective used to send it, just reducing the size of the process name removes nearly 400MBytes of communication from a 32k proc job (admittedly, much of this comm may occur in parallel). So it does add up pretty quickly.
3. routing RML messages to reduce connections. The default messaging system remains point-to-point - i.e., each proc opens a socket to every proc it communicates with and sends its messages directly. A new option uses the orteds as routers - i.e., each proc only opens a single socket to its local orted. All messages are sent from the proc to the orted, which forwards the message to the orted on the node where the intended recipient proc is located - that orted then forwards the message to its local proc (the recipient). This greatly reduces the connection storm we have encountered during startup.
It also has the benefit of removing the sharing of every proc's OOB contact with every other proc. The orted routing tables are populated during launch since every orted gets a map of where every proc is being placed. Each proc, therefore, only needs to know the contact info for its local daemon, which is passed in via the environment when the proc is fork/exec'd by the daemon. This alone removes ~50 bytes/process of communication that was in the current STG1 startup message - so for our 32k proc job, this saves us roughly 32k*50 = 1.6MBytes sent to 32k procs = 51GBytes of messaging.
Note that you can use the new routing method by specifying -mca routed tree - if you so desire. This mode will become the default at some point in the future.
There are a few minor additional changes in the commit that I'll just note in passing:
* propagation of command line mca params to the orteds - fixes ticket #1073. See note there for details.
* requiring of "finalize" prior to "exit" for MPI procs - fixes ticket #1144. See note there for details.
* cleanup of some stale header files

- FileM RSH component is fully non-blocking.
- FileM RSH component has incomming connection throttling since by default
ssh only allows 10 concurrent scp connections to any single host. This
default can be adjusted via an MCA parameter.

Application Level Placement Scheduler (ALPS).
This commit was tested under two Cray machines at ORNL: Jaguar (Catamount)
and Rizzo (CNL Test cage). Both machines performed as they should across
the commit.
It is likely that mor changes will follow this the work and environment
stabilizes.
Most of the infrastructure works the same for Catamount and CNL
except for a few bits. Below are the highlights:
Default IFACE Change:
On Catamount we can use PTL_IFACE_DEFAULT, but on the CNL system we have access
to will fail on this interface, and should be set to:
IFACE_FROM_BRIDGE_AND_NALID(PTL_BRIDGE_UK,PTL_IFACE_SS).
So if we detect that we are running with YOD then use the former interface
and if we detect that we are running with ALPS then use the latter.
We will want to pursue a more elegant solution if this interface continues to
change across machines.
PtlGetId and cnos_register_ptlid:
The header suggests that these should never be called when launching with YOD.
But in the ALPS environment the cnos_barrier() will hang forever if these
functions are not called after PtlNIInit(). Since these functions only need to
be called once, and the orte rmgr/cnos component is loaded before the ompi
common/portals componet then just call these functions once in the rmgr/cnos
component.
cnos_barrier_init():
This is a noop for YOD, but critical for ALPS. So be sure to call it before
calling the first barrier in the rmgr/cnos component.
cnos_barrier vs cnos_pm_barrier:
It is suggested the cnos_pm_barrier only be used during finalization
as it will indicate to the launcher (yod or aprun) that the app is about
to complete. It was suggested that we use the regular cnos_barrier() instead.
I want to look into this a bit more to make sure there are not adverse
side effects. A note has been placed in the code to indicate this reasoning.

fixes that.
It also fixes a few style issues, and added some more opal_outputs for
debugging. Also, fixed a bug where the fact that we forwarded (and
therefore might need to update the ack) was not correctly reported if
there were multiple forwards (which there are not as the system is
currently using IOF, but there could be).

r15390 - Changed the paradigm in which the runtime worked by enabling the mpirun
process to become an orted and spawn processes. This broke the C/R for this
special case as it required that the orted start the process, and that
the hierarchy remains.
The fix was to allow the global coordinator to be a local coordinator as well
for this case.
r15528 - Changed the selection logic for the RML. This caused the application to
segv if the 'ftrm' wrapper component was selected as it tried to modify a NULL
pointer.
The fix was to move the 'module swap' code into the init() function, and swap
when passed a NULL pointer. It sounds bad, but actually cleans up the code a bit
more.
Still have to fix the 'routed' framework.

Cleanup ALL instances of output involving the printing of orte_process_name_t structures using the ORTE_NAME_ARGS macro so that the number of fields and type of data match. Replace those values with a new macro/function pair ORTE_NAME_PRINT that outputs a string (using the new thread safe data capability) so that any future changes to the printing of those structures can be accomplished with a change to a single point.
Note that I could not possibly find outputs that directly print the orte_process_name_t fields, but only dealt with those that used ORTE_NAME_ARGS. Hence, you may still have a few outputs that bark during compilation. Also, I could only verify those that fall within environments I can compile on, so other environments may yield some minor warnings.

The problem stemmed from no longer launching a local orted on the same node as mpirun. The orted would save and reuse the base environment. Mpirun didn't do that, and the odls was using the orted's globally saved environment (which wasn't being set).
This fix establishes a globally accessible base launch environment that both the orted and mpirun can utilize. Since we now use that, we don't need to pass it to the odls_launch_proc function, so remove that param from the API (and modify all components to handle the change).

Short description: major changes include -
1. singletons now fork/exec a local daemon to manage their operations.
2. the orte daemon code now resides in libopen-rte
3. daemons no longer use the orte triggering system during startup. Instead, they directly call back to their parent pls component to report ready to operate. A base function to count the callbacks has been provided.
I have modified all the pls components except xcpu and poe (don't understand either well enough to do it). Full functionality has been verified for rsh, SLURM, and TM systems. Compile has been verified for xgrid and gridengine.

* Remove the 'opal_mca_base_param_use_amca_sets' global variable
* Harness the fact that you can (read should) call the cmd_line functions
before initializing opal_init_util(). This pushes the MCA/GMCA/AMCA
command line options into the environment before OPAL inits and starts
to use these values. By putting the cmd_line parse before opal_init_util
in orterun and orted we only parse the *MCA parameter files once, and
correctly (alleviating the need to 'recache' the files on init.)
* Small bits of cleanup.

The SnapC Full local Coordinator used this argument to attach to the job the
daemon would be launching. So once this option was removed C/R support broke.
This commit has the local coordinator attach to the job just before it is
launched by the ODLS module. This is a much cleaner solution, and will
eventually allow the SnapC modules to attach to multiple jobs launched
on a single machine.

single threaded builds. In its default configuration, all this does
is ensure that there's at least a good chance of threads building
based on non-threaded development (since the variable names will be
checked). There is also code to make sure that a "mutex" is never
"double locked" when using the conditional macro mutex operations.
This is off by default because there are a number of places in both
ORTE and OMPI where this alarm spews mega bytes of errors on a
simple test. So we have some work to do on our path towards
thread support.
Also removed the macro versions of the non-conditional thread locks,
as the only places they were used, the author of the code intended
to use the conditional thread locks. So now you have upper-case
macros for conditional thread locks and lowercase functions for
non-conditional locks. Simple, right? :).

1. generalize orte_rml.xcast to become a general broadcast-like messaging system. Messages can now be sent to any tag on the daemons or processes. Note that any message sent via xcast will be delivered to ALL processes in the specified job - you don't get to pick and choose. At a later date, we will introduce an augmented capability that will use the daemons as relays, but will allow you to send to a specified array of process names.
2. extended orte_rml.xcast so it supports more scalable message routing methodologies. At the moment, we support three: (a) direct, which sends the message directly to all recipients; (b) linear, which sends the message to the local daemon on each node, which then relays it to its own local procs; and (b) binomial, which sends the message via a binomial algo across all the daemons, each of which then relays to its own local procs. The crossover points between the algos are adjustable via MCA param, or you can simply demand that a specific algo be used.
3. orteds no longer exhibit two types of behavior: bootproxy or VM. Orteds now always behave like they are part of a virtual machine - they simply launch a job if mpirun tells them to do so. This is another step towards creating an "orteboot" functionality, but also provided a clean system for supporting message relaying.
Note one major impact of this commit: multiple daemons on a node cannot be supported any longer! Only a single daemon/node is now allowed.
This commit is known to break support for the following environments: POE, Xgrid, Xcpu, Windows. It has been tested on rsh, SLURM, and Bproc. Modifications for TM support have been made but could not be verified due to machine problems at LANL. Modifications for SGE have been made but could not be verified. The developers for the non-verified environments will be separately notified along with suggestions on how to fix the problems.

This won't cause a problem as long as all three elements of the name are

can cause memcmp() to compare padding space, which rarely holds a sane

A bunch of fixes from the /tmp/iof-fixes branch that fix up ''some''
(but not ''all'') of the problems that we have seen with iof:
* Reading very large files via stdin redirected to orteun (Sun saw
this)
* Reading a little bit of a large file redirected to orterun's stdin
and then either closing stdin or exiting the process
The Big Change was to make the proxy iof (the one running in non-HNP
orteds) send back a "I'm closing the stream" ACK back to the service
iof. This tells the HNP that there will be nothing more coming from
that peer, and therefore the iof forward should be removed.
Many other minor cleanups/fixes, terminology changes, and
documentation additions are included in this commit as well. However,
there are still some pretty big outstanding issues with IOF that are
not addressed either by #967 or this commit. A few examples:
* IOF was designed to allow multiple subscribers to a single stream.
We're not entirely sure that this works (for one thing, there is
nothing in the ORTE/OMPI code base that uses this functionality).
* There are also resources leaked when processes/jobs exit (per
Ralph's first comment on this ticket).
* There is no feedback to close orterun's stdin when all subscribers
to the corresponding stream have closed stdin.

by using a small hash function before doing the strcmp. The hask key for each
registry entry is computed when it is added to the registry. When we're doing a
query, instead of comparing the 2 strings we first check if the hash key match,
and if they do match then we compare the 2 strings in order to make sure we
eliminate collisions from our answers.
There is some benefit in terms of performance. It's hardly visible for few
processes, but it start showing up when the number of processes increase. In fact
the number of strcmp in the trace file drastically decrease. The main reason it
works well, is because most of the keys start with basically the same chars
(such as orte-blahblah) which transform the strcmp on a loop over few chars.
