fcdd904af4 Simplify and update hostfile handling to correctly support hostfiles that list nodes multiple times, once for each slot, and those that list a host once and include an explicit slot count. Eliminate support for mixing those two modes as this logic became just too complex when attempting to handle all the corner cases.

9c768df8b8 Resolve an unexpected behavior in hostfile allocations. Now that we filter allocations to determine what will be used for mapping, let the initial global pool be the union of nodes from all sources (default hostfile, hostfiles, and dash-hosts). Each app will filter down to only those specified for it using its own hostfile and dash-host options.

efa50346c8 Error out if we are filtering a hostfile and encounter a node that is not in the resource-managed allocation, giving an error message identifying the file and the node. Don't filter managed allocations thru a default hostfile as this can lead to "hidden" errors.

fde83a44ab This confusion has been around for awhile, caused by a long-ago decision to track slots allocated to a specific job as opposed to allocated to the overall mpirun instance. We eliminated that quite a while ago, but never consolidated the "slots_alloc" and "slots" fields in orte_node_t. As a result, confusion has grown in the code base as to which field to look at and/or update.
So (finally) consolidate these two fields into one "slots" field. Add a field in orte_job_t to indicate when all the procs for a job will be launched together, so that staged operations can know when MPI operations are allowed.

bae5dab916 If (and only if) a user requests, set the default number of slots on any node to the number of objects of the specified type. This *only* takes effect in an unmanaged environment - i.e., if an external resource manager assigns us a number of slots, then that is what we use. However, if we are using a hostfile, then the user may or may not have given us a value for the number of slots on each node.
For those nodes (and *only* those nodes) where the user does *not* specify a slot count, we will set the number of slots according to their direction: either to the number of cores, numas, sockets, or hwthreads. Otherwise, the slot count is set to 1.

Note that the default behavior remains unchanged: in the absence of any value for #slots, and in the absence of any directive to set #slots, we will set #slots=1.

95019cc310 Fix a few places where we weren't completely identifying hostfile-based operations against "localhost" entries. Tell the mapper base to be silent when we don't want errors announced because nodes aren't available for mapping (something it is okay if they are fully used). Fix an infinite loop in the file prepositioning code.

a5e4dc6803 In accordance with prior releases, we are supposed to default to looking at the openmpi-default-hostfile as a default hostfile. Restore that behavior, but ignore the file if it is empty. Allow the user to ignore any MCA param setting pointing to a default hostfile by setting the param to "none" (via cmd line or whatever) - this allows them to override a setting in the system default MCA param file.

6310361532 At long last, the fabled revision to the affinity system has arrived. A more detailed explanation of how this all works will be presented here:
https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/wiki/ProcessPlacement

The wiki page is incomplete at the moment, but I hope to complete it over the next few days. I will provide updates on the devel list. As the wiki page states, the default and most commonly used options remain unchanged (except as noted below). New, esoteric and complex options have been added, but unless you are a true masochist, you are unlikely to use many of them beyond perhaps an initial curiosity-motivated experimentation.

In a nutshell, this commit revamps the map/rank/bind procedure to take into account topology info on the compute nodes. I have, for the most part, preserved the default behaviors, with three notable exceptions:

1. I have at long last bowed my head in submission to the system admin's of managed clusters. For years, they have complained about our default of allowing users to oversubscribe nodes - i.e., to run more processes on a node than allocated slots. Accordingly, I have modified the default behavior: if you are running off of hostfile/dash-host allocated nodes, then the default is to allow oversubscription. If you are running off of RM-allocated nodes, then the default is to NOT allow oversubscription. Flags to override these behaviors are provided, so this only affects the default behavior.

2. both cpus/rank and stride have been removed. The latter was demanded by those who didn't understand the purpose behind it - and I agreed as the users who requested it are no longer using it. The former was removed temporarily pending implementation.

3. vm launch is now the sole method for starting OMPI. It was just too darned hard to maintain multiple launch procedures - maybe someday, provided someone can demonstrate a reason to do so.

As Jeff stated, it is impossible to fully test a change of this size. I have tested it on Linux and Mac, covering all the default and simple options, singletons, and comm_spawn. That said, I'm sure others will find problems, so I'll be watching MTT results until this stabilizes.

92c7372e20 Per the RFC from Jeff, move hwloc from opal/mca/common to its own static framework ala libevent. Have ORTE daemons collect the topology info at startup and, if --enable-hwloc-xml is set, send that info back to the HNP for later use. The HNP only retains unique topology "templates" to reduce memory footprint. Have the daemon include the local topology info in the nidmap buffer sent to each app so the apps don't all hammer the local system to discover it for themselves.
Remove the sysinfo framework as hwloc replaces that functionality.

afbe3e99c6 * Wrap all the direct error-code checks of the form (OMPI_ERR_* == ret) with
(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.

0005e6e834 Correct a couple of bugs in the rank_file mapper that were incorrectly assigning vpids.
Add a capability to parse the rankfile to extract node information in place of requiring both hostfile and rankfile for non-RM managed environments. The rankfile is -only- parsed for this IF the hostfile and -host options are not given. Otherwise, those are used to establish allocation info as we did before this commit.

1dc12046f1 Modify the OMPI paffinity and mapping system to support socket-level mapping and binding. Mostly refactors existing code, with modifications to the odls_default module to support the new capabilities.
Adds several new mpirun options:

* -bysocket - assign ranks on a node by socket. Effectively load balances the procs assigned to a node across the available sockets. Note that ranks can still be bound to a specific core within the socket, or to the entire socket - the mapping is independent of the binding.

* -bind-to-socket - bind each rank to all the cores on the socket to which they are assigned.

* -bind-to-core - currently the default behavior (maintained from prior default)

* -npersocket N - launch N procs for every socket on a node. Note that this implies we know how many sockets are on a node. Mpirun will determine its local values. These can be overridden by provided values, either via MCA param or in a hostfile

Similar features/options are provided at the board level for multi-board nodes.

   In total 817 files are touched.
   In ompi/mpi/c/ header files are moved up into the actual c-file,
   where necessary (these are the only additional #include),
   otherwise it is only deletions of #include (apart from the above
   additions required due to notifier...)

6039e385cd Per request from Terry, make -host and -hostfile respect order when used as filters. In other words, if you specify -host host1,host3,host2, then we should use the hosts in that order. Previously, we used them in whatever order they were found in the allocation - all the -host did was tell us which nodes to use, not what order to use them in.
Relative node syntax remains supported. Also, if you specify empty nodes, but have a specific empty node called out later, we will not include that node in the empties we add. I'll provide examples in the manpage.

1a77b15523 Modify the handling of hostfiles to allow them to subdivide allocations. Utilize the "slots_alloc" field of the orte_node_t object - which had previously been unused - to track the #slots allocated to a given app_context. Let the hostfile filtering action utilize the #slots field to modify the allocated slots for each app_context.

9613b3176c Effectively revert the orte_output system and return to direct use of opal_output at all levels. Retain the orte_show_help subsystem to allow aggregation of show_help messages at the HNP.
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.

e7ecd56bd2 This commit represents a bunch of work on a Mercurial side branch. As
such, the commit message back to the master SVN repository is fairly
long.

= 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.

e7487ad533 Implement the seq rmaps module that sequentially maps process ranks to a list hosts in a hostfile.
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
