WHAT: Merge the PMIx branch into the devel repo, creating a new
OPAL “lmix” framework to abstract PMI support for all RTEs.
Replace the ORTE daemon-level collectives with a new PMIx
server and update the ORTE grpcomm framework to support
server-to-server collectives
WHY: We’ve had problems dealing with variations in PMI implementations,
and need to extend the existing PMI definitions to meet exascale
requirements.
WHEN: Mon, Aug 25
WHERE: https://github.com/rhc54/ompi-svn-mirror.git
Several community members have been working on a refactoring of the current PMI support within OMPI. Although the APIs are common, Slurm and Cray implement a different range of capabilities, and package them differently. For example, Cray provides an integrated PMI-1/2 library, while Slurm separates the two and requires the user to specify the one to be used at runtime. In addition, several bugs in the Slurm implementations have caused problems requiring extra coding.
All this has led to a slew of #if’s in the PMI code and bugs when the corner-case logic for one implementation accidentally traps the other. Extending this support to other implementations would have increased this complexity to an unacceptable level.
Accordingly, we have:
* created a new OPAL “pmix” framework to abstract the PMI support, with separate components for Cray, Slurm PMI-1, and Slurm PMI-2 implementations.
* Replaced the current ORTE grpcomm daemon-based collective operation with an integrated PMIx server, and updated the grpcomm APIs to provide more flexible, multi-algorithm support for collective operations. At this time, only the xcast and allgather operations are supported.
* Replaced the current global collective id with a signature based on the names of the participating procs. The allows an unlimited number of collectives to be executed by any group of processes, subject to the requirement that only one collective can be active at a time for a unique combination of procs. Note that a proc can be involved in any number of simultaneous collectives - it is the specific combination of procs that is subject to the constraint
* removed the prior OMPI/OPAL modex code
* added new macros for executing modex send/recv to simplify use of the new APIs. The send macros allow the caller to specify whether or not the BTL supports async modex operations - if so, then the non-blocking “fence” operation is used, if the active PMIx component supports it. Otherwise, the default is a full blocking modex exchange as we currently perform.
* retained the current flag that directs us to use a blocking fence operation, but only to retrieve data upon demand

mpirun ... -x env_foo1=val1 -x env_foo2 -x env_foo3=val3 should now be expressed as
mpirun ... -mca mca_base_env_list env_foo1=val1+env_foo2+env_foo3=val3.
The motivation for doing this is so that a list of environment variables may be set via standard MCA mechanisms such as mca parameter files, amca lists, etc.

Revamp the ORTE global data structures to reduce memory footprint and add new features. Add ability to control/set cpu frequency, though this can only be done if the sys admin has setup the system to support it (or you run as root).

Paul Hargrove pointed out that Stevens tells us that we should
FD_GETFL before FD_SETFL. And so we shall.
Make a new convenience function to do this (opal_fd_set_cloexec()),
just so that we don't have to litter this 2-step process throughout
the code.

Make sure the debugger attach fifo is marked as close-on-exec so that
children procs don't inherit it. For example, if you salloc a SLURM
allocation and run "mpirun ..." in there (i.e., mpirun is running on
the head node, and launching on to back-end nodes), the forked srun's
will inherit this fd if it is still open.

Also, since I put some of the macros for these silent/verbose rules up
in the top-level Makefile.man-page-rules file, I renamed it to
Makefile.ompi-rules.
I've had this sitting around for a while; now seems like as good a
time as any to commit it.

NOTE: I transferred the oshmem-disabled-by-default from the 1.7 branch to the trunk to minimize future disruption if/when we change that option.

When compiling --with-ft there are a few compiler warnings about
unused variables. This patch fixes those compiler warnings.
This commit was SVN r30927.
The problem arises when a hostfile is used, and the user provides host names without specifying the slots= paramater. In these cases, we assign slots=1, but automatically allow oversubscription since that number isn't confirmed. We then provide a separate parameter by which the user can direct that we assign the number of slots based on the sensed hardware - e.g., by telling us to set the #slots equal to the #cores on each node. However, this has been set to "off" by default.
In order to make this a little less complex for the user, set the default such that we automatically set #slots equal to #cores (or #hwt's if use_hwthreads_as_cpus has been set) only for those cases where the user provides names in a hostfile but does not provide slot information.
Also cleanup some a couple of issues in the mapping/binding system:
* ensure we only override the binding directive if we are oversubscribed *and* overload is not allowed
* ensure that the MPI procs don't attempt to bind themselves if they are launched by an orted as any binding directive (no matter what it was) would have been serviced by the orted on launch
* minor cleanup to the warning message when oversubscribed and binding was requested

can't apply its normal precedence rules.
So...print a big "deprecated" warning for the old params and error out if a conflict is detected. I know that isn't what people really wanted, but it's the best we
can do. If only the old style param is given, then process it after the warning.
Extend the current map-by param to add support for ppr and cpus-per-proc, adding the latter to the list of allowed modifiers using "pe=n" for processing elements/proc. Thus, you can map-by socket:pe=2,oversubscribe to map by socket, binding 2 processing elements/process, with oversubscription allowed. Or you can map-by ppr:2:socket:pe=4 to map two processes to every socket in the allocation, binding each process to 4 processing elements.
For those wondering, a processing element is defined as a hwthread if --use-hwthreads-as-cpus is given, or else as a core.
