Enabling the FT code breaks compilation (again). This series
tries to fix the compiler errors. This is again only fixing
the compiler errors without any warranty that the result
might actually support FT again.
This first patch moves orte_cr_continue_like_restart from ORTE
to opal_cr_continue_like_restart in OPAL. This only leaves three
calls from OPAL to ORTE in the FT code. As it is not yet 100%
clear how to handle these calls the code orte_sstore.set_attr()
has been #ifdef'd out for now.
call the opal_common_verbs_mca_register function to make sure that
opal_common_verbs_want_fork_support mca parameter is created and therefore
can be used to control the fork support.
In order to have an effect, ibv_fork_init should be called in the
beginning of the verbs initialization flow - before the calls to the
ibv_create_qp and ibv_create_cq verbs.
These functions are called from the oob/ud code and by the time the
other verbs components (btl openib, pml yalla, ...) call ibv_fork_init,
it's too late. This commit forces the call to ibv_fork_init (if it's
requested) right at the beginning of all the components that are using
verbs.
(ibv_fork_init() can be safely called multiple times)
This commit also removes the btl_openib_want_fork_support mca parameter
and adds a new mca parameter instead - opal_verbs_want_fork_support.
Through this new parameter, fork support may be requested for ALL
components.
The default value for this parameter is set to 1.
Before this commit the btl_openib_want_fork_support parameter didn't
provide fork support for the openib btl if its value was set to 1.
(because when openib called ibv_fork_init, it was already after the
calls to ibv_create_* in oob/ud and thereofre it failed).
These two macros set the prefix for the OPAL and ORTE libraries,
respectively. Specifically, the OPAL library will be named
libPREFIXopen-pal.la and the ORTE library will be named
libPREFIXopen-rte.la.
These macros must be called, even if the prefix argument is empty.
The intent is that Open MPI will call these macros with an empty
prefix, but other projects (such as ORCM) will call these macros with
a non-empty prefix. For example, ORCM libraries can be named
liborcm-open-pal.la and liborcm-open-rte.la.
This scheme is necessary to allow running Open MPI applications under
systems that use their own versions of ORTE and OPAL. For example,
when running MPI applications under ORTE, if the ORTE and OPAL
libraries between OMPI and ORCM are not identical (which, because they
are released at different times, are likely to be different), we need
to ensure that the OMPI applications link against their ORTE and OPAL
libraries, but the ORCM executables link against their ORTE and OPAL
libraries.
the OPAL and ORTE libraries. This is required by projects such as ORCM
that have their own ORTE and OPAL libraries in order to avoid library
confusion. By renaming their version of the libraries, the OMPI
applications can correctly dynamically load the correct one for their
build."
This reverts commit 63f619f871.
Properly setup the opal_process_info structure early in the initialization procedure. Define the local hostname right at the beginning of opal_init so all parts of opal can use it. Overlay that during orte_init as the user may choose to remove fqdn and strip prefixes during that time. Setup the job_session_dir and other such info immediately when it becomes available during orte_init.
Update the VERSION file scheme:
* Remove "want_repo_rev".
* Add "tarball_version".
All values are now always included (major, minor, release, greek,
repo_rev). However, configure.ac now runs "opal_get_version.sh
... --tarball", which will return the value of tarball_version (if it
is non-empty) or the "full" version string (i.e.,
"major.minor.releasegreek").
In all previous releases, the version number would be "A.B.C" unless C
was 0, in which case it would be "A.B". This commit changes that
scheme to always be "A.B.C", even if C==0.
Hence, v1.9.0 will be the first release where this new scheme is evident.

1. Fixes according to (http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2014/09/15869.php)
2. Force mpisync:rank0 to gather results. Now sync info is written by rank0 to the output file.
3. Improve mpirun_prof: 1) adopt to the environment (SLURM/TORQUE); 2) recognize some noteset-related mpirun options.

Replace our old, clunky timing setup with a much nicer one that is only available if configured with --enable-timing. Add a tool for profiling clock differences between the nodes so you can get more precise timing measurements. I'll ask Artem to update the Github wiki with full instructions on how to use this setup.

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

WHAT: Open our low-level communication infrastructure by moving all necessary components (btl/rcache/allocator/mpool) down in OPAL
All the components required for inter-process communications are currently deeply integrated in the OMPI layer. Several groups/institutions have express interest in having a more generic communication infrastructure, without all the OMPI layer dependencies. This communication layer should be made available at a different software level, available to all layers in the Open MPI software stack. As an example, our ORTE layer could replace the current OOB and instead use the BTL directly, gaining access to more reactive network interfaces than TCP. Similarly, external software libraries could take advantage of our highly optimized AM (active message) communication layer for their own purpose. UTK with support from Sandia, developped a version of Open MPI where the entire communication infrastucture has been moved down to OPAL (btl/rcache/allocator/mpool). Most of the moved components have been updated to match the new schema, with few exceptions (mainly BTLs where I have no way of compiling/testing them). Thus, the completion of this RFC is tied to being able to completing this move for all BTLs. For this we need help from the rest of the Open MPI community, especially those supporting some of the BTLs. A non-exhaustive list of BTLs that qualify here is: mx, portals4, scif, udapl, ugni, usnic.

new flag to ompi_info that allows a user to print all MCA variables of a specific type.
--type version_string
This command will print all MCA variables of type version_string.
This feature was developed by Elena Shipunova and was reviewed by Josh Ladd.

The semantics of the variable mpi_yield_when_idle are to call
opal_progress_set_yield_when_idle at MPI_Init. It would be difficult
to modify the old variable to support setting this parameter at
runtime. The fix is to add an additional parameter to opal:
opal_progress_yield_when_idle that directly sets the variable. This
variable is settable anytime and does not affect the semantics of
the old mpi_yield_when_idle variable.

The following Trac tickets were found above:

In the OPAL_ENABLE_FT_CR code path there used to be a variable
'mca_base_component_distill_checkpoint_ready' which got removed.
The FT code was not compiling and while trying to get it to compile
again the old variable was #ifdef'd out. This re-introduces the
variable with a new name 'opal_base_distill_checkpoint_ready'
and enables the code previously #ifdef'd out.
This removes the last hack introduced to get the FT code to compile
again.
