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.

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.

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

some issues with the C #defines SEEK_{SET, END, POS}. The workaround
involves some hackery that should work in almost every common use case
for the C stdio constants (and all the legal issues of the MPI constants).
The one issue is that the C stdio constants are now const ints instead
of #defines, which means that #ifdef checks will fail for the constants.

Add --enable-orterun-prefix-by-default (and a synonym:
--enable-mpirun-prefix-by-default) to make orterun always behave as if
"--prefix $prefix" was given on the command line (where $prefix is the
value given to the --prefix option to configure). This prevents many
rsh/ssh users from needing to modify their shell startup files to set
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH for Open MPI (they will still need to set PATH or
otherwise find the OMPI executables to mpicc/mpirun/etc. their MPI
applications).
Also added --noprefix option to orterun to disable this behavior.
Finally, note that even if --enable-orterun-prefix-by-default is
specified, if the user specifies --prefix or /path/to/mpirun, these
options will override the default value of the prefix ($prefix).

- Make the F90 bindings compile and link properly with gfortran 4.0,
4.1, Intel 9.0, PGI 6.1, Sun (don't know version offhand -- the most
current as of this writing, I think), and NAG 5.2, although some
have limitations (e.g., NAG can't seem to handle the medium and
large sizes)
- Building the F90 "small" module size is now the default, even for
developers
- Split up mpif.h into multiple files because parts of it were toxic
to the F90 bindings
- Properly specify unsized/unshaped arrays to make the bindings work
on all known compilers
- Make ompi_info show Fortran 90 bindings size
- XML somewhat lags the generated scripts as of this commit, but
functionality was my main goal -- the XML can be updated later (if
at all).

svn merge -r 9453:9609 https://svn.open-mpi.org/svn/ompi/tmp/f90-stuff .
Several improvements over the current F90 MPI bindings:
- The capability to make 4 sizes of the F90 bindings:
- trivial: only the F90-specific MPI functions (sizeof and a few
others)
- small: (this is the default) all MPI functions that do not take
choice buffers
- medium: small + all MPI functions that take one choice buffer
(e.g., MPI_SEND)
- large: all MPI functions, but those that take 2 choice buffers
(e.g., MPI_GATHER) only allow both buffers to be of the same type
- Remove all non-standard MPI types (LOGICAL*x, CHARACTER*x)
- Remove use of selected_*_kind() and only use MPI-defined types
(INTEGER*x, etc.)
- Decrease complexity of the F90 configure and build system

complete, but stable enough that it will have no impact on general development,
so into the trunk it goes. Changes in this commit include:
- Remove the --with option for disabling MPI-2 onesided support. It
complicated code, and has no real reason for existing
- add a framework osc (OneSided Communication) for encapsulating
all the MPI-2 onesided functionality
- Modify the MPI interface functions for the MPI-2 onesided chapter
to properly call the underlying framework and do the required
error checking
- Created an osc component pt2pt, which is layered over the BML/BTL
for communication (although it also uses the PML for long message
transfers). Currently, all support functions, all communication
functions (Put, Get, Accumulate), and the Fence synchronization
function are implemented. The PWSC active synchronization
functions and Lock/Unlock passive synchronization functions are
still not implemented

ships with XGrid libraries for 32bit apps
* ompi_config.h and orte_config.h (and supporting headers) are now only
installed if --with-devel-headers is enabled. Since they are no
longer needed for MPI applications, it doesn't make sense to install
them if we are only installing mpi.h and mpif.h.
Also, since we are no longer including ompi_config.h in mpi.h, there
is no longer a need to do the dumb sed trick on install

- fix configure test to find the supported f90 linker switch to find
fortran modules
- Unbelievably, some versions of sh (cough cough Solaris 9 cough
cough) actually seem to internally perform a "cd" into a
subdirectory when you run "./foo/bar", such that if you try to
source a script in the top-level directory in the bar script (i.e.,
". some_script" in the bar script), it will try to run it in the
"foo" subdirectory, rather than the top-level directory! #$@#$%#$%
So we have to pass in the pwd to the scripts so that they know where
some_script is.
- Reworked much of ompi/mpi/f90/Makefile.am for lots of reasons. See

dimensions the f90 MPI bindings should support (they are strongly
typed, and the number of dimensions of choice arguments must be
specified -- it cannot be arbitrary). The default is four.
Note that even though increasing this value has essentially a linear
effect on the code, the multiplier constant is fairly large (only a
small number of functions have 2 choice buffers, so the exponential
factor is relatively small). Increasing this value increases the
amount of time f90 compilers will spend compiling src/mpi/f90/mpi.f90
(some compilers will crash if it is too big).
