supports a wide variety of operating systems and platforms; see the
opal/mca/paffinity/hwloc/hwloc/README file for details.
This component includes an embedded copy of hwloc, currently based on
hwloc-1.0rc6. But note that hwloc is properly SVN imported into the
/vendor branch, so it will be easy to update when 1.0 GA is released.
Note that the hwloc tree embedded in opal/mca/paffinity/hwloc/hwloc is
identical to a hwloc distribution tarball, except that much of the
documentation was rm -rf'ed (because we don't need it for the embedded
case).
Since the paffinity framework currently does not understand hardware
threads, the hwloc component compensates for this by identifying cores
by the "first" hardware thread on that core. Hopefully we'll update
paffinity someday to understand hardware threads. :-)
configure grew a --with-hwloc option, analogous to what we do for many
other external libraries that OMPI supports. However, there's a new
feature: due to the request of several distros, OMPI can be configured
to build with its internal copy of hwloc or with an external copy of
hwloc (e.g., a system-installed hwloc).
1. If --with-hwloc is not specified, Open MPI will try to use its
internal copy (but silently fail/ignore hwloc if that fails).
1. If --with-hwloc=<dir> is supplied, Open MPI looks for hwloc
support in <dir> (and --with-hwloc-libdir=<dir>, if specified).
1. If --with-hwloc=external is supplied, Open MPI will look for hwloc
in a compiler/linker default external location.
1. If --with-hwloc=internal is supplied, Open MPI will use its
internal copy of hwloc.
Some of OMPI's main configury had to be slightly re-arranged in the
bootstrapping phase to accomodate hwloc's configry needs.

* Remove the ptmalloc memory component; replace it with a new "linux"
memory component.
* The linux memory component will conditionally compile in support
for ummunotify. At run-time, if it has ummunotify support and
finds run-time support for ummunotify (i.e., /dev/ummunotify), it
uses it. If not, it tries to use ptmalloc via the glibc memory
hooks.
* Add some more API functions to the memory framework to accomodate
the ummunotify model (i.e., poll to see if memory has "changed").
* Add appropriate calls in the rcache to the new memory APIs to see
if memory has changed, and to react accordingly.
* Add a few comments in the openib BTL to indicate why we don't need
to notify the OPAL memory framework about specific instances of
registered memory.
* Add dummy API calls in the solaris malloc component (since it
doesn't have polling/"did memory change" support).

It is okay to not have a paffinity module IF you aren't using paffinity anyway. So don't error out of MPI_Init because a paffinity module wasn't selected.
Cleanup error reporting in the odls default module to (once and for all!) eliminate messages originating in the fork'd process. Create some new error codes to allow us to pass enough info back to the parent process to provide useful error messages.

done this way a long time ago for the "gee whiz!" factor -- when in
reality, they really only need one-of-many-run-time priority
selection).
Changed run-time priorities to be as follows:
* darwin: 20
* linux: 20
* posix: 10
* solaris: 30
* test: 5
* windows: 20
I have a very dim (possibly untrue) recollection that Solaris needs to
have a higher priority than others just to ensure that no other is
chosen under Solaris. Make all other "native" components have a
priority of 20 (they shouldn't conflict with each other). Make the
posix fallback component have a priority of 10. Make the test
component priority 5, meaning someone can always select it, but you
can also make a "never select me" component that prioritizes itself
under test.

modify the OPAL_PAFFINITY_PROCESS_IS_BOUND macro to search the cpuset for
the maximum possible number of cpus rather than just the number of cpus
currently online. This corrects a problem where mpi_paffinity_alone was
not working properly on systems in which there can be cpu namespaces with
holes, such as on ppc64 with smt off (as discussed in #2365).

#2322.
The short version is that this patch consolidates two pieces of code
that call the back-end munmap and ensures that (if dlsym is used) the
corresponding dlsym is only invoked once and that the variable holding
the result is volatile.

Many of the OPAL_ENABLE_FT should be OPAL_ENABLE_FT_CR, so fix those.
The OPAL Layer INC should call opal_output on restart so that it can refresh the string it prints to reflect the current pid/hostname which may have changed.

anything for non-MPI apps. Oops! (But before you freak out, gentle
reader, note that mpi_paffinity_alone for MPI apps still worked fine)
When we made the switchover somewhere in the 1.3 series to have the
orted's do processor binding, then stuff like:
mpirun --mca mpi_paffinity_alone 1 hostname
should have bound hostname to processor 0. But it didn't because of a
subtle startup ordering issue: the MCA param registration for
opal_paffinity_alone was in the paffinity base (vs. being in
opal/runtime/opal_params.c), but it didn't actually get registered
until after the global variable opal_paffinity_alone was checked to
see if we wanted old-style affinity bindings. Oops.
However, for MPI apps, even though the orted didn't do the binding,
ompi_mpi_init() would notice that opal_paffinity_alone was set, yet
the process didn't seem to be bound. So the MPI process would bind
itself (this was done to support the running-without-orteds
scenarios). Hence, MPI apps still obeyed mpi_paffinity_alone
semantics.
But note that the error described above caused the new mpirun switch
--report-bindings to not work with mpi_paffinity_alone=1, meaning that
the orted would not report the bindings when mpi_paffinity_alone was
set to 1 (it ''did'' correctly report bindings if you used
--bind-to-core or one of the other binding options).
This commit separates out the paffinity base MCA param registration
into a small function that can be called at the Right place during the
startup sequence.

* Don't build the pstat component if all defines needed aren't there.
* Update platform file to work better
* Work around two places that depended on modex being operational
This commit was SVN r22536.
Originally the patch was to improve the error message, but when digging into the code I found a subtle bug. If the daemon does not tell the HNP what CRS component it used, then the HNP tries to figure it out from the metadata (this is an uncommon case). The path the HNP used was not complete, so it was unable to find the metadata information. This patch fixes this by adding the 'snapshot_reference' to the 'snapshot_location' which completes the path for this search.

party/"vendor" import, the changes are actually far smaller than the
size of this changeset implies. Here's a list of the changes:
* Update the AMD license header in plpa_map.c to be less restrictive
(see https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/plpa/changeset/262 for details)
-- '''this is the most/only important change of this update.''' No
code is changed by this; only removing a clase from a license
header in plpa_map.c.
* Changes to the generated {{{configure}}}, {{{config.guess}}}, and
{{{config.sub}}} scripts (which aren't used by OMPI).
* soname version tracking changes (which also aren't used by OMPI;
they're only used when PLPA is built/installed in "standalone"
mode).
* Update the "get version" m4 (which was stolen from OMPI's m4 to
begin with, and is only used during OMPI's autogen.sh step).
* Update various PLPA version numbers to 1.3.2.
* Bug fix in plpa-taskset (which is not built in the OMPI PLPA build).

Okay, cleanup the prior commit so that the default component search path shows in ompi_info, and remains available in component_find.
This commit was SVN r22278.
"my_perfect_path":SYSTEM_DEFAULT:USER_DEFAULT
and OPAL will substitute its internally derived values for the defaults (instead of forcing the user to figure them out).
This commit was SVN r22272.
Add orte configuration option to control the use of the framework in the system. Although the code will build, it will not be active unless configured with --enable-bootstrap.
If bootstrap is enabled and the new opal_sysinfo framework can successfully determine the cpu model, pass that info to the application as an MCA param to support some work at Sun.
Also, have daemons report back the resources they find to guide process mapping in bootstrap operations (i.e., where the daemon starts at node boot as opposed to being launched at application start).
Adjust some platform files to enable these capabilities.
