Add support for pinning GPU Direct RDMA in openib BTL for better small message latency of GPU buffers.
Note that none of this is compiled in unless CUDA-aware support is requested.
This commit was SVN r29680.
Let imagine that we have two btls in btl_openib_component_init() both points to the same openib_btl->device and as a result have the same openib_btl->device->endpoints array.
Finalization phase calls twice mca_btl_openib_finalize()->mca_btl_openib_finalize_resources().
mca_btl_openib_finalize_resources() frees endpoint related btl. But the second call of mca_btl_openib_finalize_resources() checks endpoint that is released by previus call.

Turns out that AC_CHECK_DECLS is one of the "new style" Autoconf
macros that #defines the output to be 0 or 1 (vs. #define'ing or
#undef'ing it). So don't check for "#if defined(..."; just check for
"#if ...".

Commit r27211 added ifdef checks for #define
HAVE_IBV_LINK_LAYER_ETHERNET, which is incorrect. The correct #define
is HAVE_DECL_IBV_LINK_LAYER_ETHERNET. This broke OMPI over iWARP.
This fixes trac:3726 and should be added to cmr:v1.7.3:reviewer=jsquyres

* add a new MCA param orte_hostname_cutoff to specify the number of nodes at which we stop including hostnames. This defaults to INT_MAX => always include hostnames. If a value is given, then we will include hostnames for any allocation smaller than the given limit.
* remove ompi_proc_get_hostname. Replace all occurrences with a direct link to ompi_proc_t's proc_hostname, protected by appropriate "if NULL"
* modify the OMPI-ORTE integration component so that any call to modex_recv automatically loads the ompi_proc_t->proc_hostname field as well as returning the requested info. Thus, any process whose modex info you retrieve will automatically receive the hostname. Note that on-demand retrieval is still enabled - i.e., if we are running under direct launch with PMI, the hostname will be fetched upon first call to modex_recv, and then the ompi_proc_t->proc_hostname field will be loaded
* removed a stale MCA param "mpi_keep_peer_hostnames" that was no longer used anywhere in the code base
* added an envar lookup in ess/pmi for the number of nodes in the allocation. Sadly, PMI itself doesn't provide that info, so we have to get it a different way. Currently, we support PBS-based systems and SLURM - for any other, rank0 will emit a warning and we assume max number of daemons so we will always retain hostnames
This commit was SVN r29052.
This creates a really bad scaling behavior. Users have found a nearly 20% launch time differential between mpirun and PMI, with PMI being the slower method. Some of the problem is attributable to poor exchange algorithms in RM's like Slurm and Alps, but we make things worse by calling "get" so many times.
Nathan (with a tad advice from me) has attempted to alleviate this problem by reducing the number of "get" calls. This required the following changes:
* upon first request for data, have the OPAL db pmi component fetch and decode *all* the info from a given remote proc. It turned out we weren't caching the info, so we would continually request it and only decode the piece we needed for the immediate request. We now decode all the info and push it into the db hash component for local storage - and then all subsequent retrievals are fulfilled locally
* reduced the amount of data by eliminating the exchange of the OMPI_ARCH value if heterogeneity is not enabled. This was used solely as a check so we would error out if the system wasn't actually homogeneous, which was fine when we thought there was no cost in doing the check. Unfortunately, at large scale and with direct launch, there is a non-zero cost of making this test. We are open to finding a compromise (perhaps turning the test off if requested?), if people feel strongly about performing the test
* reduced the amount of RTE data being automatically fetched, and fetched the rest only upon request. In particular, we no longer immediately fetch the hostname (which is only used for error reporting), but instead get it when needed. Likewise for the RML uri as that info is only required for some (not all) environments. In addition, we no longer fetch the locality unless required, relying instead on the PMI clique info to tell us who is on our local node (if additional info is required, the fetch is performed when a modex_recv is issued).
Again, all this only impacts direct launch - all the info is provided when launched via mpirun as there is no added cost to getting it
Barring objections, we may move this (plus any required other pieces) to the 1.7 branch once it soaks for an appropriate time.

value to signal that the operation of retrieving the element from the free list
failed. However in this case the returned pointer was set to NULL as well, so the
error code was redundant. Moreover, this was a continuous source of warnings when
the picky mode is on.
The attached parch remove the rc argument from the OMPI_FREE_LIST_GET and
OMPI_FREE_LIST_WAIT macros, and change to check if the item is NULL instead of
using the return code.

(i.e., ensure that more data items get zeroed out/set to NULL) so that
if something goes wrong during initialization, we don't try to clean
up something that isn't there (and segv).
The chance of this happening on the trunk is very low (and will also
be low once the verbs improvements are brought over to v1.7). But it
can actually happen in the v1.6 branch (e.g., if no CPC is available,
we'll try to get the length of the endpoints list, but the endpoints
list is NULL).
Hence, even though the real goal is to get this functionality over to
v1.6, I figured I'd commit to the trunk/CMR to v1.7 just to try to
keep commonality in the openib between all three where possible.

* If the MCA param btl_openib_cq_size is set to 0 (which is the
default), use the device CQ max size. Otherwise, use the MCA param
value (and never adjust it again).
* Remove the CQ size adjustment code. Since we default to max CQ
size, there really isn't much point in having it any more. I think
people setting an absolute CQ size is going to be rare, so let's
not do anything fancy with it.
* If the MCA param value is larger than what the device supports,
print a warning (only once per process) and default to using the
device max
* Add a BTL_VERBOSE displaying which CQ size we used

* If btl_openib_max_hw_msg_size is larger than the maximum hw limitation print error message.
* Change the default openib flags to include only PUT and not GET.
* Print error message if user choose manually GET flag in openib btl.
* In prepare_dst: limit the message size to be the minimum of both endpoint's hw_limitation and the user limitation (if requested).
This commit was SVN r24191.
This is a fairly intrusive change, but outside of the moving of opal/event to opal/mca/event, the only changes involved (a) changing all calls to opal_event functions to reflect the new framework instead, and (b) ensuring that all opal_event_t objects are properly constructed since they are now true opal_objects.
Note: Shiqing has just returned from vacation and has not yet had a chance to complete the Windows integration. Thus, this commit almost certainly breaks Windows support on the trunk. However, I want this to have a chance to soak for as long as possible before I become less available a week from today (going to be at a class for 5 days, and thus will only be sparingly available) so we can find and fix any problems.
Biggest change is moving the libevent code from opal/event to a new opal/mca/event framework. This was done to make it much easier to update libevent in the future. New versions can be inserted as a new component and tested in parallel with the current version until validated, then we can remove the earlier version if we so choose. This is a statically built framework ala installdirs, so only one component will build at a time. There is no selection logic - the sole compiled component simply loads its function pointers into the opal_event struct.
I have gone thru the code base and converted all the libevent calls I could find. However, I cannot compile nor test every environment. It is therefore quite likely that errors remain in the system. Please keep an eye open for two things:
1. compile-time errors: these will be obvious as calls to the old functions (e.g., opal_evtimer_new) must be replaced by the new framework APIs (e.g., opal_event.evtimer_new)
2. run-time errors: these will likely show up as segfaults due to missing constructors on opal_event_t objects. It appears that it became a typical practice for people to "init" an opal_event_t by simply using memset to zero it out. This will no longer work - you must either OBJ_NEW or OBJ_CONSTRUCT an opal_event_t. I tried to catch these cases, but may have missed some. Believe me, you'll know when you hit it.
There is also the issue of the new libevent "no recursion" behavior. As I described on a recent email, we will have to discuss this and figure out what, if anything, we need to do.

Major Changes:
--------------
* Added C/R-enabled Debugging support.
Enabled with the --enable-crdebug flag. See the following website for more information:
http://osl.iu.edu/research/ft/crdebug/
* Added Stable Storage (SStore) framework for checkpoint storage
* 'central' component does a direct to central storage save
* 'stage' component stages checkpoints to central storage while the application continues execution.
* 'stage' supports offline compression of checkpoints before moving (sstore_stage_compress)
* 'stage' supports local caching of checkpoints to improve automatic recovery (sstore_stage_caching)
* Added Compression (compress) framework to support
* Add two new ErrMgr recovery policies
* {{{crmig}}} C/R Process Migration
* {{{autor}}} C/R Automatic Recovery
* Added the {{{ompi-migrate}}} command line tool to support the {{{crmig}}} ErrMgr component
* Added CR MPI Ext functions (enable them with {{{--enable-mpi-ext=cr}}} configure option)
* {{{OMPI_CR_Checkpoint}}} (Fixes trac:2342)
* {{{OMPI_CR_Restart}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_Migrate}}} (may need some more work for mapping rules)
* {{{OMPI_CR_INC_register_callback}}} (Fixes trac:2192)
* {{{OMPI_CR_Quiesce_start}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_Quiesce_checkpoint}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_Quiesce_end}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_checkpoint_callback}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_restart_callback}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_continue_callback}}}
* The ErrMgr predicted_fault() interface has been changed to take an opal_list_t of ErrMgr defined types. This will allow us to better support a wider range of fault prediction services in the future.
* Add a progress meter to:
* FileM rsh (filem_rsh_process_meter)
* SnapC full (snapc_full_progress_meter)
* SStore stage (sstore_stage_progress_meter)
* Added 2 new command line options to ompi-restart
* --showme : Display the full command line that would have been exec'ed.
* --mpirun_opts : Command line options to pass directly to mpirun. (Fixes trac:2413)
* Deprecated some MCA params:
* crs_base_snapshot_dir deprecated, use sstore_stage_local_snapshot_dir
* snapc_base_global_snapshot_dir deprecated, use sstore_base_global_snapshot_dir
* snapc_base_global_shared deprecated, use sstore_stage_global_is_shared
* snapc_base_store_in_place deprecated, replaced with different components of SStore
* snapc_base_global_snapshot_ref deprecated, use sstore_base_global_snapshot_ref
* snapc_base_establish_global_snapshot_dir deprecated, never well supported
* snapc_full_skip_filem deprecated, use sstore_stage_skip_filem
Minor Changes:
--------------
* Fixes trac:1924 : {{{ompi-restart}}} now recognizes path prefixed checkpoint handles and does the right thing.
* Fixes trac:2097 : {{{ompi-info}}} should now report all available CRS components
* Fixes trac:2161 : Manual checkpoint movement. A user can 'mv' a checkpoint directory from the original location to another and still restart from it.
* Fixes trac:2208 : Honor various TMPDIR varaibles instead of forcing {{{/tmp}}}
* Move {{{ompi_cr_continue_like_restart}}} to {{{orte_cr_continue_like_restart}}} to be more flexible in where this should be set.
* opal_crs_base_metadata_write* functions have been moved to SStore to support a wider range of metadata handling functionality.
* Cleanup the CRS framework and components to work with the SStore framework.
* Cleanup the SnapC framework and components to work with the SStore framework (cleans up these code paths considerably).
* Add 'quiesce' hook to CRCP for a future enhancement.
* We now require a BLCR version that supports {{{cr_request_file()}}} or {{{cr_request_checkpoint()}}} in order to make the code more maintainable. Note that {{{cr_request_file}}} has been deprecated since 0.7.0, so we prefer to use {{{cr_request_checkpoint()}}}.
* Add optional application level INC callbacks (registered through the CR MPI Ext interface).
* Increase the {{{opal_cr_thread_sleep_wait}}} parameter to 1000 microseconds to make the C/R thread less aggressive.
* {{{opal-restart}}} now looks for cache directories before falling back on stable storage when asked.
* {{{opal-restart}}} also support local decompression before restarting
* {{{orte-checkpoint}}} now uses the SStore framework to work with the metadata
* {{{orte-restart}}} now uses the SStore framework to work with the metadata
* Remove the {{{orte-restart}}} preload option. This was removed since the user only needs to select the 'stage' component in order to support this functionality.
* Since the '-am' parameter is saved in the metadata, {{{ompi-restart}}} no longer hard codes {{{-am ft-enable-cr}}}.
* Fix {{{hnp}}} ErrMgr so that if a previous component in the stack has 'fixed' the problem, then it should be skipped.
* Make sure to decrement the number of 'num_local_procs' in the orted when one goes away.
* odls now checks the SStore framework to see if it needs to load any checkpoint files before launching (to support 'stage'). This separates the SStore logic from the --preload-[binary|files] options.
* Add unique IDs to the named pipes established between the orted and the app in SnapC. This is to better support migration and automatic recovery activities.
* Improve the checks for 'already checkpointing' error path.
* A a recovery output timer, to show how long it takes to restart a job
* Do a better job of cleaning up the old session directory on restart.
* Add a local module to the autor and crmig ErrMgr components. These small modules prevent the 'orted' component from attempting a local recovery (Which does not work for MPI apps at the moment)
* Add a fix for bounding the checkpointable region between MPI_Init and MPI_Finalize.
